Finally some intelligent friendly AI, I'm so sick of my teammates blowing me up with rocket launchers or shooting me with a sniper rifle. I feel like I have to baby sit them. I figured you all might change the control scheme. What is good about you guys changing it is that you still give us the option to turn it back to the old control scheme very smart. Great update in my eyes.

i think the warthog thing in campaign sounds awesome. that was a real pain when ur playing ledgendary and they go for the wrong guy like a grunt instead of an elite.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

my theory on the "new button schemes".

xbox 360 controller.

right trigger = Shoot...

right bumber = melee

Left trigger = throw grenades

left bumber = switch grenades

(note they might keep one of the bumpers for talking on the Mike)

B = something new? or still melee?
A = same as always
X = same as always
Y = same as always

Left stick = same as always

Right stick = same as always

I belive that making one of the bumbers Melee is a good choice, because then the players dont have to take there thumb off of the right stick to melee, so you can aim the melee more.

I have a question for all of those people working on halo 3, and that is: if it would be possible to make the controls for Halo 3 completely customizable? I ask this because I, sadly, don't have a right hand, I only have an arm down about 2 or 3 inches below my elbow, everything below that is not there. So when I buy or rent a FPS and I cant change the primary fire to the left trigger in some way, weather it be totally customizable controls or a southpaw like in halo games now, so that I can play the game, I become very frustrated. Plus if you guys at bungie make the controls completely customizable I, and others out there who maybe have the same problem, could also make the left bumper the control for gernades, which i currently don't use while playing Halo because there on the right trigger, and I cant pull the right trigger without taking my arm of the right thumbstick.
It doesn't have to happen, but its just something to think about. And please don't whatever you do get rid of the southpaw for button layout, or I will be royaly pissed. Especially since the Halo series are my all time favorite games and i would like to be able to play through the final one!

I know of a good idea. How about you can toss grenades though portals and push things through it. Like bombs and fusion cores. (also warthogs) And also get splash damage from a grenade or something exploding on the other side of the portal. I mean that would give a whole new meaning to tactics! (I would also say bullets going though would be awesome too!)

I don't think the grafic rendering system on the regular Xbox could handle it.

From what i've read before, and by informants. I dont rightly know. But I am pretty sure this is the last Halo series called "Ark" But it seems like a good idea to have a full covenant side to a halo story line. You never know. Maybe you could be a "Forrunner"? OR maybe something like that. (sorry guys im brainstorming here)
