This game just keeps sounding better and better. For the first time after watching the spoilers from LEVEL I can truly say im feeling the hype.

Man Cannon, at first i was hoping it was a translation problem - now it's grown on me I hope they dont change the name!

Weapons slung over shoulders and weapons in holsters? Awesome detail.

If your left bumper reloads the left weapon and the X buttons function is unknown, what is melee?

Starting with a good weapon without having to resort to one of the best weapons in the game? Assault rifle I love you.

Legendary case! Halo you make me glad I spent my hard earned notes on a 360. ^_^

==============================================
Halo 3 Legendary (Co-op and Solo) complete, I guess its time to get Forging.

I don't understand why people want more players...
Big Team Battle is rarely played. Too much crap happens,
first one or two people quit on your team...then you are vastly out matched...then its just a landslide from there.

Or the other scenario where its just chaos, suicides, betrays, and it just eliminates all the fun.

I played the MMOFPS Huxley at E3, and it was nothing special at all. It was just a game with lots of people, it didn't add anything to the game. And the amount of network traffic its going to add will just not be worth it, as it is now if you play a game with more than 6 people on a team int Halo 2 it lags to dried snot speed.

The only way I could see it being more interesting is if it were MANY smaller teams going after the same goal, not a slayer game for sure. I am normally all about slayer games, but I think they would not suit a game like this. But with many teams comes the problem of friendly identification. The colour scheme will only work for so many teams. Not to say this is a huge problem to solve, but a problem nonetheless.

In the end, the lag that you get is not worth the extra people in the game. Now if it is a system-link game, that is something else entirely.

Great, conformation on all the lame stuff. Sounds like Halo 3 is going to be more "Toony" than Halo 2. What ever happened to the straight forward "Simple" and addictive games that Bungie used to make? Whats the target aged group this time around, 8-10 years old? I keep telling my friends that Bungie will redeam themselves this time around with Halo 3, they tell me the game will be worse than Halo 2 and to not get my hopes up, and from the sound of things, I'm starting to think they are right!? I mean seriously, what kindergatener came up with "Man Cannon" for you guys? I only ask cause thats the age group who "Giggle" at names like that? And for the record, Mature people don't "Giggle", they Laugh. I can't believe I'm the only Idot of all my friends who bought a 360. At this rate, The PS3 looks like it is going to demolish MS and it's 360. A good game needs to launch in the next year or it is inevitable, and from the sound of things, Halo 3 will not be that game. Gears of War is starting to sound alot better than Halo 3. The new weapons sound Lame, especially since it's obvious that the weapons in Halo 3 will have specific purposes for their use. I mean why can't I pick up a weapon used to take out a tank with and hit the 10 year old in the face with that same weapon that will have the same effect cause he claims to have slept with my mom last night. I mean, i should have the right to completely demolish this individual with any weapon I want, Like you could In Halo: CE. You did it with the Rocket in Halo 2, and now you are going to do it with the "Spartan Laser" which I've already street named The "Ray Gun", apparently the weapon is going to be tweaked for infantry uses and will be more effective on vehicles? That makes no sense at all. If anything, a weapon like that should be able to take out vehicles, however when used on Infantry, IT SHOULD BE DEVISTATING! NOT TWEAKED! you know the way it would actually work in real life, or the way the weapons worked in Halo: CE. IN Halo: CE, The Rocket was very versitile and very effective on vehicles, but when used on Infantry, the right shot could devistate the other team, heck you could even get a killtacular with 1 rocket if you were good enough, Double Kills are rare with the RL in halo 2 unless you get a couple guys in a vehicle, and a Killtacular is almost impossible unless you get four guys basically huggindg eachother in a corner. I was going to pre-order Halo 3 legendary untill this article came out. Bungie should smarten up and keep their lips sealed on game info untill release if they plan on having a Huge Launch! No offense, but the more info i hear about, the worse the game sounds. And if you guys release a "Demo" that is rumored, you can probably kiss a bunch more pre-orders goodbye.

When you guys say "Feels" more like Halo: CE, you must mean "feels" absolutely Nothing like the original Halo, Cause that's where ALL the evidence is pointing now.

Bungie, at this point, you have almost completely lost ALL of your "Original" Halo fans, and many Fans before Halo! What do you plan to do about it? Just keep catering to "Bed Wetters"? Maybe give Halo 3 a rating of "E" for Everyone....yippy do da. I can't believe the "Toon" character you guys have transformed the greatest hero of all times into!

Sincerely, one of your longtime Bungie Fans

I guess conformation on "The Man Cannon" is also a conformation on NO HEALTH SYSTEM as well...........LAME !

Whats with the cheezed "Man Cannon" in Halo 3? Does this also Confirm the absense of a Health System as well. I can't picture the MC flying through the air, and then when he lands, he just dies. Why do we get conformation on all this lame stuff, but the important things like a "Health System" are left to guess at till launch? Atleast change the name of the "Man Cannon" to something more Mature, a name like this is only going to attract trash and grade schoolers to play it.

Sory KP, it just seems like some things are just NOT thought out enough, or at all angles before descisions are made. And everyone wonders why we have to play against complete asses on XBL alot of the time. I know it annoys you guys, cause you flame and speak about these players all the time. In the meantime, you forget that you guys helped promote it, maybe not directly, but the name "Man Cannon" just goes and promotes these individuals.

Sincerely, A Fan....who plays Halo 2 every couple weeks, but wants to play more but the experience with these children on live is intolerable.

sory about the double post.......
