I guess the grunts won't be working with the humans in Halo 3:

"In that particular area, the only way forward, is through a very large crowd of angry Brutes and for the moment, brave Grunts."

Unless I missed something, I thought the grunts were with the elites, who side with the humans at the end of Halo 2.

Any ideas?

Good update but can you give a timeframe of when you will show a playable demo of MP?(You know actual video so we can see how it will play.)

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

More fun then Halo 1! I really think this may be the best Halo yet.

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?

Halo 3 > Halo 1 + Halo 2

Dammit. How am I going to explain the yellow spot on my pants this time?

  • 11.03.2006 5:36 PM PDT

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished,....... this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing....... The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.......so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V

Wow great update Frankie, definetly one of the better ones of this year ;)

One question though, pretty sure it won't be explained but when he mentioned the mountain moving and revealing the great looking water, is that the mountain moving from something being done to it in the story, or the bungie guys just moving it to show the land mass beyond it?

Cause if its the first one...o yeahie the Covies have gone bersek ala "Independence day" blowing up land masses.

"Anyhoo, that’s it for this week – we’ll go into detail, huge detail about the EGM stuff after the mag actually ships"

nice one -_- so you get paid if it's exclusive?

Halo 3 sounds sweeter update after update. Does anyone know how to find those Halo 3 multiplayer pictures without buying a magazine?

P.S. Ok, I know some of you guys are excited about first post and all but it does turn out to be quite annoying. It's turning out just like part of the update every week. Honestly, who really cares about getting first post? Just thought I'd mention that.

Grunt: "I'LL BITE YOUR KNEECAPS OFF!"

Elite: "Come out monkey, I have a banana for you..."

Well, I have never said this before (since I got an account), but this was actualy a decent update. I enjoyed that there was some info about the game this time around, though the magazine plugging is getting annoying. My 2-cents on this:

-Weren't the grunts with the elites? They should be fighting with you, not against...

-Ooo, scary moment, can't wait!

-That mistercheif at the end is hilarious, best one (in the time of halo 3 updates) yet!

LOL @ Mister Chief in the end. Hiding in a hole. XD

Great update, Frankie. Hmm...I wonder if that scary thing could've been the very first Flood Combat Form on 360 graphics......

...<.< Well, that'd make ME pee myself, for sure.
