The gas giant is the planet next to Halo. It was supposed to help you if you got lost but I don't think anyone ever used it.

There's only one kind of metal, and it's black.

My task is to prevent you from leaving this installation alive.

Because we Mexicans also video-game
And we kick some ass at it !!

Where it displays the current ammo in the magazine, it has some radar-like thingy.
What does this exactly is?
In the instructions booklet is says it points out the gas giant.
What is the gas giant?

It's like a compass. Always points one way (towards that nearby planet). The only time i ever used it was so i knew which way i had come from in 343 guilty spark, and even then i didn't need it.

It's not necessary for moving on in the game, but it was thoughtful of the Bungie team to include all this great stuff in the game. Unlike Halo 2.....

first of all, the gas giant is called Threshold, and, to my knowledge, has a moon named Basis. anyway, since compasses use mercury or whatever, it points to the nearest source. anyway, it might, and i say might, be helpful in co-op "im to the north" so you can find eacother, although you automatically warp to ur buddy,....

It's pointless (yet fun) things like this that make Halo1 better than halo2.

Yeah it was IMO. It was probably just for "decoration."

correct on the moon. Off topic: Delta Halo orbits Substance. On topic: they set the compass to Threshold, as Halo has no north or south pole. Threshold was arbitrary North, I believe Basis was pretty much south.

Ummm, couldn't the marines/MC just look for Thrshold? (providing your outside of course) I mean it's only like twice the size of the sun!!!
