nice up date 1st


boy sure wish a ninja would crack down on the counters, only for the reason that these forums would be much more productive and entertaining without the counters and those (i.e. ME) who feel the need to complain and attempt to make a point every time..... did you even read the update Demon Gerbile????

Thank goodness the marines will be programmed to fight better in the warthog now. I hope you've made the rocket marine go to the passenger seat immediately. I'm getting the distinct impression we're going to see the carrier hog this time around. All right have a good weekend guys, now time for some strawberry dacaries.

Wow, sweet update Frankie! Those gameplay elements that Bungie has done with regards to marine AI and warthogs sound really awesome. Props for another good update.

Those without swords can still die upon them.

It looks like my dreams are coming true regarding the 360 controller. If they put melee on the right bumper, imagine how easy it would be to hit someone, since you wouldn't have to stop aiming to hit B anymore.

  • 09.15.2006 5:47 PM PDT

Wait, you actually checked this?

Will you be my friend?

He said we could influence Marine gunners to shoot at stuff now right? Yay! I've been wanting to do that for a long time. (Tired of marines shooting at grunts when there are plenty of Elites about)

You are losing my interest Bungie, show us something. I know you guys can because every week you talk about all the progress, and I know it will be amazing, but it ISN'T here. Show us pics, videos, music, anything!

One simple solution to offering new maps to H2 while also working on H3 might be to hire enough staff to accomplish both tasks. but what do i know.

Ah, a tantalizing update, as per usual. Improved marine driving A.I? I'm in heaven. Oh, I can't wait to see the enemy A.I. n_n

About the control scheme: Here is a simple solution, make more than one button layout and make it so that people can change the buttons to what feels comfortable for them.

About the southpaw button combos. Unless Microsoft releases a controller with the buttons and Dpad on the opposite sides, those people ( like me ) who use southpaw thumbsticks are at a disadvantage, especially in multiplayer.

It would be nice if in Halo 3 Bungie could put in an option where you could map the ABXY buttons to the DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, UP of the Dpad. This way those who use southpaw thumbsticks can move and switch weapons, jump etc at the same time. No need to take your thumb off of your moving thumbstick in order to press a button. In effect it works the same as those who use default.

I've tried using default thumbsticks and for the life of me I just can't do it. Using southpaw just comes naturally to me. Strange because I'm right handed...go figure. Everything else is fine, triggers etc. So it would be much appreciated, I'm sure, by many people if Bungie would take this into consideration.

Also swapping crouch and zoom when using southpaw thumbsticks.

I use the 360 controller for Halo PC.

I use what amounts to the Greenthumb setup, except that I've mapped Jump and Crouch to the right and left bumpers.

I hope this controller setup is in Halo 3.
