Thank you Bungie, what a smart update. You made people happy it looks like without spoiling anything, yet providing some interesting things about the game, so it was nice to see that. You didn't just blurt out the game will be like this, the story will be like this, and the weapons will be these, but you still fed us some tasty "Spaghettios" if you will, and I love Spaghettios. A lot of the info was stuff any normal pedestrian could understand, and it cheered up my Saturday, which has sucked so far because my jaw hurts from wisdom teeth removal, and my birthday party last-minute preparations are getting a little out-of-control. So thank you, this was a really nice update, almost like a birthday present for me. Also, I know that picture most likely isn't from Halo 3, but I just have to put this out there: Is Master Chief following Mario with the whole golf games now??? When we choose what gametype we would like for multiplayer, will Golf be one of them lol? I can just imagine that deep-voiced guy saying "Golf" when the match starts up...

Ya that was annoying as hell. But it was only for like an hour so it wasn't that big of a deal not like they got it for a month it could have been much worse but bungie fixed it in the nick of time.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

ok in my last post some people took a few things i said in the wrong sense first i am quite aware that the master chief can use the carbine but more often than not people use a br when they are the MC not because its better persay but because the levels you play on as chief their tends to be more ammo for the br than the carbine also i wouldnt put anything past bungie what if the elites team up with earth and the grunts dont like the idea??? so the arbiter (if he is in Halo 3 which i hope he isnt) might be shooting grunts yes i appreciate the story of the arbiter and the fall of the elites as the Honor Guards and the deception of the prophets its just that the arbiter didnt actually add any real gameplay i mean hes basically the chief except he can go invisible for awhile and he has grunts and hunters as allies instead of rines and ODST's plus hes not from a group of a limited amount of people like the spatans considering John is one of the very few left and i know ive slaughtered hundreds upon hundreds of elites also my last point is this i amquite aware that you can do BXR BXB RRxyyRRX etc etc with every weapon(well you can do bxr and bxb with every weaapon and u can do bxr bxb rrxyyrrx with carbine plus others) but its not as common as with the br and i dojt feel its quite as effective either oh yea i do have one more thing that is completely off topic WHO IS TEACHING ALL THE NOOBS THE SUPERBOUNCES i am so tired of playing on turf having the whole opposite team who are like lvls 20 through 25 be outside the map then me having to go outside the mapp kill them and then kill myself isnt it cheating bungie??? i mean a few months ago noone knew how to get outside of zanzibar except skilled players who only learned how bhecause there opposing team would do it i mean i feel that skilled players shouldnt have to spend an extra minute just to go outside a map or to a place u canonly get y superbounce just to ki9ll some noobs and then have to kill themselves so they arent accused of cheating its lame and everyone knows it

well i really didn't need to know much about the movie with all that signifegant info on the game anyway i trust the movie will be made write.

P.S.
the grunts should say something like "missed me missed me, now you gotta kiss me" then they take off there muzzle and show all kinds of sharp bloody teeth.

  • 08.12.2006 1:05 PM PDT

welll look at the picture at the bottom... that means that 343 guilty spark's brother will be their and that they all came from the ground of the instilation... also what do u think of the ship that the cheif was on at the endin of halo 2... could that be what opened up the forrunner thing on earth... 343 guilty spark told us that it was a remote

carbine... it will be not as strong... if u look between the lines
brutes... they will be reduced in amount... since the elites will be fighting for vengence
gosts... i have no clue

also will their be a hidden alliance between the cheif and an elite... because when they teamed up in halo 2 they worked together and so will that continue

will he be the new heretic
and what will be the fate of the Captin that was not taken by the covenent in halo 1

Need less forum posters with double standards.

You can't complain about overhyping a game and whining that we cut things (a.k.a the ATV) like a bunch of you did regarding Halo 2, and then turn around and complain that you're not getting enough info about Halo 3.

The game is coming is 2007. This is 2006. Expecting more than what you're getting right now is not something that will lead you to happiness.

Needs less updates that suck ass. By this point in development of Halo 2 we had seen quite a bit of at least renders and had some knowledge. Figuring how the game might come out next July on the 7th (7.7.07) or most likely in November of 2007, that puts Halo 3 11-15 months from launch, and although the weekly updates only started in Jan. 04, 10 months from Halo 2 launch, we still had some info on the game. With Halo 3, there is relatively no new information that other than what we know from the trailer. And no, I don't want to know a ton of information about the game, just some teasers and maybe a screen every few weeks/months.


Ouch, Burned. But he's right, many people are never satisfied with what they get. Give the ravenous Halo fanboys a cookie and they want a a dairy farm, not justa glass of milk! Most of the people that "HATE" Halo2 because it's so "awful" and "sacriligious" to Halo:CE are just little whiny brats. Halo2 is Halo"Ce and so much more: improved graphics, improved gameplay, deeper story arc, and the scale! Sheesh, Halo2 frickin rocks! I know there was no "Earth city"level but to hate thet game for a few irrelevant reasons, well...guys like that are only hurting themselves.

Anywasy Im off topic..awesome update. I am truly looking forwared to the improved AI! ^_^

They cut my live "cries" dead rising has been hitting over here like a mirror. Quake 4 rules except for like a bang of yucky framerate issues. I had a sick feeling they where going to cut the Halo3 movies news a the last minute. I don't know I just a weird sence of thinking. Is that even the right way to put it.
All yea baby Halo3 sounds like it's going to be the game I always wanted. Specially on Halo: CE I wanted them to drive good and what not but noOOooo. I wanted like a huge battle to happen where all the marines got out and they started firing everywhere and you would be right in the middle with the badest skilled dudes and badest guns. Sounds like it's happening.

From a fan of the halos, can we contain the vulgar language in the upcoming h3, please.



Agreed. I love halo, but we should at least tone it down a significant notch.

Sigh, for everyone out there wondering where the MC's foot came from in the golf photo, it's from an older Halo 2 desktop of MC in the desert. It's a pretty nice picture. Thanks for the update Frankie.... picture(s) next time? Pretty please? Cool 'non-news' about the Halo movie, the director actually looks decent, he should be a good fit with the genre, also being South African, so he's dealt with similar issues that are dealt with in Halo 1/2/3, ie racial hatred, ethnic cleansing etc, I can't wait till it comes out. Anyways, thats all for now. Cheers.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

whether or not you discuss the halo movie doesn't matter. its producer is Peter Jackson, so it's gonna be amazing.

Get up so I can kill you again!

I read about the covenant sniper rifle in an update some time, so that's gonna be in H3 I guess. And Cortana is there fo' shizzle. And ehm..u can see Banshees in the air in the trailer. So they're gonna be in the game as well.

But why is MC kind of goldish in the trailer and not green? I mean...he's green, man!

I think the picture at the end is just saying that the reason "Halo Movie" info was canceled was because of maybe a re-shoot or something. Like... Shooting range, you know. They're maybe redoing some of the stuff that was going to be in the Update, so they had to cancel it last minute... Dunno, might sound stupid, might not, but it doesn't matter what you all think! :-D

Chief obviously has a new suit in the trailer. You can see some small details in the armor that weren't in Halo 2, and that's not because of the graphics. In my opinion, that desert colored armor looks 'cooler' anyways.

No weapons are confirmed yet, to be honest. In a previous update, Frankie talks about loving the Assault Rifle, but also mentions that it isn't guaranteed to be in the game. Thus meaning that none of the weapons that he's used is guaranteed. Still, it's safe to say that the AR, Shotgun, Carbine, and both Sniper Rifles will return to the series. I think it's also safe to say that the Ghost, Banshee, Worthog, and Scorpion Tank will return.

As for the "shooting Grunts" part, that's a bit more complicated. For all we know, some Grunts have not joined the rebellion (mentioned by another poster before me) or later the Grunts and the rest of the rebelling team gain back their 'dignity' and decide to go back to their prior beliefs of despising humans and use their 'superior' weaponry. Besides, having Elites and Hunters on your team might seem to make things a lot easier, unless Brutes decide to wear that Energy Shield. Who knows, only Bungie. We'll just need to wait for either more updates or the game ^_^

Anyways, once again, great update, and for the fans, KEEP WISHING FOR SCREENSHOTS, MAYBE BUNGIE WILL PLEASE US WITH SOMETHING :-D

+Edit:
Okay, I just had to add this because I went back up and read some more of peoples posts. I realized that so many people are unaware that the Covenant Rebellion did NOT team up with the Master Chief, nor anyone else that wasn't there at Delta Halo. The only Human help that the Rebellion recieved was from, like, two surviving Marines, Sergeant Johnson, and Miranda Keyes. For all we know, the Rebellion would've killed the Humans too, but didn't because the Sarge was already in control of the Scarab.
By the way, that foot in the picture wasn't from the Desert Brigade picture. There is no foot pointing down in that. If anything, its from the one where he's holding the "fully-automatic" Battle Rifle. It's a really old picture.
