Excellent Update! Can't wait ... I shall embrace "Gears" until you're arrival, Halo 3.

Also, no mentioning of the "On hold" movie. hmmmmmmm.... maybe Frankie forgot. HAHA... or the movie news was one massive coverup started by the CIA --- *sniped by MGS/Bungie representative*

also, this new...X button thing...i bet its taking that freaking plasma grenade off of you and shoving it up the original thrower's bum hole

hey, I would like to be able to take a grenade off of myself and throw it at whoever threw it at me. That would be pretty cool.
and, again, what an awesome update, real content from BUNGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*is happy now.*

Nice Update but one thing. The X button. I expect I will like what it does but I would perfer it to still be reload. So I hope you guys have a custom control layout feature in halo 3.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Hey, nice update. Any chance we will be seeing a H3 demo of some sorts on XBL?

FIrst off what is this auto aim? maby its cause of my lag (being from new zealand) no wonder i am getting my ass kicked. any way back to the subject i may have read into this wrong but it sounds like the new wepon what the call the spawn wepon or assult rifle what ever they called it, they way the wrote it sounds like its gana have a granade launcher attached to it? any body else get that impression? If it does im undecided on how this will effect the game.

Auto-aim is when the game automatically aims at/tracks targets that are close to the centre of the screen.

The weapon is called the Assault Rifle. You've obviously gotten a little confused, "Spawn Weapon" is not the name of a gun... it means "the weapon that you spawn with". If you spawn with an Assault Rifle, then the Assault Rifle is your Spawn Weapon.

Someone else did say that it sounded like you could fire grenades from the Assault Rifle. Maybe you should read the posts before you post?

OK. This may be a long shot but.......

"A far cry from the shiny default placeholder in the MP demo EGM played."

As in a shoutout to Far Cry, another game with awesome water effects.
Maybe not. Just throwing it out there. Anyway, great update.

In the picture of the map that Frankie dreamed about the structure almost looks like a Rifle or a Sniper being help by someone lying down.

......so it's gonna satisfy H1 and H2 fans. Hmm.......

The idea of mass customization brings thoughts to mind along the lines of "h1 vs h2 auto aim" and ACTUAL weaponsets from both. Man, that would be rad.

But then my brain jumps to the possibilities of the h1 vs h2 issue and matchmaking: a possibility that there will be halo 1 and halo 2 (ish) MM playlists. Oh man, if that happens, I think I'll die happy.

One suggestion that you've probably already thought over: cooking grenades would be damned spiffy.

Can't wait to hear what the X button does.

GREAT update. It's been a long time since an update posed the threat of inducing nocturnal emissions.

Cheers Frankie.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the Gravemind. Or maybe the Covenant blow up earth.

Hey frankie, will the flood be scary again, like they were in Halo C:E? Halo 2 flood weren't frightening, they were kinda dull witted, slow moving, boorish morons, the H1 flood seemed to -blam!- teleport, and you couldn't use active camo to walk past them all. Please say, "Yes, the flood will make you crap your pants again."

I thought this was a fairly good update... I got excited about seeing the next issue of EGM, then I turned around to play a little 360... and... bam I got the RING OF DEATH!!!! NOOOOO!!!! and right when Gears of War came out too.
