Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

So the man cannon is its actual name.

Greeeeat. Let's just hope it gets changed in the final version, or is actually a cool feature and not some Mario 64-esque Bomb-Omb cannon.

well the showing your weapon on the back is really really -blam!-. imagine picking up rockets, you will get lit up worse then picking up the over shield in halo 2. that was a dumb thing to add to game play.

I grew up.

I actually went and subscribed to EGM just for this issue. Only 12$ for an entire year? Very good deal.

seriously though, more than 16 players would ruin Halo. I mean just look at the chart for the big games vs. the small games. Any Questions? Yea thats just what we need, 10 playlist @ 3%. Don't be dumb, Please.

Good. One Million Rumors busted, and counting..

By 1up.com!

Yeah, but you didn't see that one coming..

This is a good article though. Clears up loads of info.

16 players is perfect. In BTB Skirmish for Halo 2, people quit all the time and it's really annoying. Imagine 40 people and half of them don't want to play the game that was matchmade for them...

I think everyone is picturing the man cannon as a ACME cartoon type thing. I'm sure it will be fine, Bungie has put out 2 great Halo games and I'm sure the third and final one will be better than 1 and 2. I have complete faith in them. You guys are putting Halo 3 down like you seen more than scanned swedish magazine articles. Wait until you play it to come up with opinions.

Whatever you do guys, don't change the name from Man Cannon. That has got to be the greatest name possible for it.

  • 11.01.2006 7:22 PM PDT

MY XBOX DIED THAT'S WHY.

I'm glad you guys picked EGM and 1up.com. They're at least trying to break the mold.
And Luke Smith is like a big breath of fresh curse-filled air for the whole industry. A pain in the ass - but a good one. :)

And don't change "Man Cannon". It makes me giggle.

:P

Just remember... I keep it real...

Good 'ol 1UP... Man Cannon... yeah... sorry... I am not feeling it... Just my opinion... I like that Vent idea... but... yeah...

The Man Cannon will prolly be like the lift thingys at the end os Halo 2 campaign. The ones that shot you accross the expanse in between structures.

  • 11.01.2006 8:53 PM PDT

a lot of this stuff seems a little...crazy. im not so sure i like the idea of being able to see other people's secondary weapon. doing that greatly changes gameplay strategy from the first two games. if bungie's going for more of a reserved, tactical style of combat, than this is a step in that direction. for example, if you saw sombody running around holding just a br or smg, but w/ rockets on their back, you may run away, whearas in halo 2 you had to take the risk.

  • 11.01.2006 9:02 PM PDT

well then again, before halo 2 came out, i thought some of the stuff was kinda funky, like the new health system, and that worked out great. bungie has done a great job w/ the last 2 games. i hope everything they're planning works out well.

or the man cannon could be similar to the jump pads in Unreal Tournament and Quake

I got my EGM, and its time for me to read... I'm also taking a look at 1up's coverage of Halo 3. Man Cannon is kewl.
