I got my first bad news... grav lifts=no fall damage :(. That sucks...unless... there are 3 reasons.

1. The grav lifts dont take you up enough but maybe close to that point where fall damage doesn't come into play.

2. The grav lift takes you up enough and they both time the crouch at the right moment that they dont recieve fall damage.

3. They have the option of having fall damage on or off and they choose off for that game.

Hoping that maybe fall damage is an option for H3 still is interesting. If there isn't well no point in trying to tell where the game is heading.

It's the debug console, available to developers only. It won't ship in the game.

I was able to write about them because I was watching them.

Or you fall into something that somehow pads your landing. Not that I'm saying fall damage is in or out, but there are other possibilities.

My 2 cents: There is more information about game content in this one humpday thingy then there is in all the bungie updates put together! And btw:

..and i want to know about this menu thing were all the weapons drop the person said that it was a hack or something i thought there was no cheating in h3

This is an early build of the game so all of these "cheats" are in place to allow for bungie to test stuff out without having to find a weapon or something; they will NOT be in the final game. Though they are not in the game to be abused like that, I would have busted my controller too.

PS: 4th or 5th post EVER.

PPS: YEEEY ASSUALT RIFLE!


EDIT: holy crap, in the time it took me to type up this post about 4 people posted.... that's insane...

i really done care about this because it has no hints to halo 3 other then the AR but we already knew the AR was in halo 3 so Bungie this was a waist of your time that you could of been working

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

OMG!

Most of you people are missing the most obvious point of this!

It's a new map! It's name is Censored, and it is in the shape of a question mark! The black stuff must mean it's night time too! And before anyone says something against me, I have one just one thing to say to you: You are just jealous you didn't think of it yourselves.

With that update, I have jumped over the 'willing to pay $100' mark.

An interesting humpday, guys! It's too bad we were unable to see some maps, though; ah well...

Ahh! My brain is going to explode!

Sigs are stupid.

Oh my god! There will be a sniper rifle, battle rifle, Rocket launcher and assault rifle. This is nothing new. Thanks for bogarting all the cool info. Ninja 0n Fire, I have my eye on you.

Fall damage makes me a sad panda. But I'll refrain from jumping to conclusions. :)

I don't believe a word of it. Frankie won a game, and KP's score against Ninja seems a little too high and unbelievible.

Show us some screenshots to prove it ; )

I'm awesome!

Well fall damage would probably get rid of super jumping. I think it should be brought back. Master Chief is strong, but not invincible. Unless.....OMG MASTER CHIEF IS INVINCIBLE IN HALO 3!!!!!1!!1

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Fall damage doesn't work well with LAG.
Fall damage limits the scope of gameplay.

Ninja and I tried out a smaller, asymmetrical map that’s a lot of fun. Ninja’s been really busy lately so he hasn’t been in as many multiplayer tests as I have and it showed. You guys might remember Frankie talking about how Bungie brought in 45 year old mothers who’ve never touched video games all their life to conduct some research for Halo 2. After this game, Harold decided we could save some money this time around and just use Ninja.

I had my pick of whichever weapon I wanted, so I ran around with a great long-range weapon (you’ll never guess what we call it!) and a devastating medium-range weapon. Ninja ran around like a remote-controlled car operated by a blind, retarded monkey: running into walls, staring at the ground and jumping for no apparent reason.

Ultimately, I came to terms with killing the short-bus-riding monkey and finished the game in decisive fashion.

25 to 7. KP wins.

Interesting version you have there, KP... definitely more interesting than what happened in reality. Perhaps if you didn't suck so bad, you wouldn't have to fabricate such lies.

So here I am at my desk testing out something that I would get fired for talking about and out of nowhere KP says "Hey, let's do some H3 1v1" - sorry, too busy. So he asks me later, I say okay now or never.

We go to the lab, load up the game, I delay the countdown a few times, KP gets angry. We start playing... I kill KP. Then I kill KP again. Finally, KP dies a third time. Now from across the map KP comes flying at me using jetpack and deathless player cheats, but he is moving so fast he can't even land a shot on me and does nothing but flies into walls.

Then some developers came in for a meeting and kicked us out.

Game over.

3 to 0. Ninja wins.

Oh yeah, see you in the parking lot tonight KP.

Yeah, we'd obviously have to play H3 to find out about fall damage. I personally liked no fall damage, although it's not that realistic. I'll go with whatever Bungie deems best.
