Its wierd that yesterday your rumble didnt work, because I've never played without rumble, and my controller was running out of battery and I didnt have rumble yesterday. I also will never, ever understand why people would turn rumble off. Nice Update though.

I think the idea of the female voice will be exploited badly and just leave for more sexist remarks, and more trash talking in general. As for next week, I have a feeling they are going to let everything go! Release date?, names of weapons, screen shots, demo? And yeah, dont take hardcore out. Heh.

Maybe girly voice is good, maybe it's bad. I don't play enough Live to say so.

I think you should go for it. After all, it's always something that can be switched off if the player doesn't like it.

1st time i cried in months, & i'm not joking... i cant immagine the flood (of water) that will be at my house after next week!
I sill can't belive how you guys got the trick and way to make us produce enough of saliva to need 5-6 cup of water after that.
Now our pacience will be reawarded.
Good update []^_^[]

Oh and my two sisters who both played(& completted) halo1&2 think that having a female voice for the spartan would be very very... not wise; that it would screw up the seriousness of the already existent super hero... whatever you want to call it. But they are not as fan as me and havent read the novels also, and dont really understand the story cuz they play the game just for fun, not to enter the story, wich i think they are missing.

Being an obsessive Halo fan and female... I think a female voice would be really great.. until guys start using it and discriminating... Unless there's a way us females on XBL don't have to hear it... Then it's a great idea.

I for one would love a female character, its always odd to hear myself die a manly death, and hear the other girls I play with calling out locations and then die a manly death. I think it will be good for those like me, but I can also see a really deep voiced guy playing the female character and die with a female death cry....disconcerting.

I am enjoying the novel so far. I've just never seen so many typos in a professional, BEST SELLING novel before. The prime example is a statement like "Self perversion protocal" Im certain was meant to say "Self PRESERVATION protocal". It doesnt detract from the story, because I know what the word/spelling is supposed to be. However, it is sloppy, unprofessional, and detracts from the serious image for the Halo games these novels are supposed to support. Seriously, fire your editors. Also, I loved "A Signal Shattered".

Also I wanna hear a female Sanghelli voice too.

Vehicles to add
Skyhawk Atmospheric Fighter
Description:
Crew: 1 pilot +1 gunner Armament: 50mm rotary cannons Secondary: Scorpion missles
The Skyhawk is a jump jet VTOL (vertical take off and landing) air attack fighter. It is armed with a quad set of 50mm rotary cannons, and Scorpion Missiles that are capable of destroying tanks. It's ability to take off and land vertically, like the Pelican, make it useful where LZs have no runway

Seraph
Description:
Crew: unknown (pilot + flight crew)
Armament: Plasma Cannons, Plasma Torpedoes (150-250 kW range)
The Seraph is the Covenant's main space attack fighter. It is somewhat tear-drop shaped, and is about 3 times the size and mass of the Banshee attack craft. It is armed with plasma cannons, and guided plasma torpedoes.
this is from http://library.psyjnir.net/?id=152

also the pelican and shadow so there are more targets for the new spartan laser

i think it is good for the changes that are going to be incorperated into the next halo for women if they choose to. Cause now there are more and more female player that are good at the game and hey i think they need to be noticed (my personal opinion). So bungie keep up the good work.

Frankie

the fact that you said this:
"If you ARE a dude, we don’t care what you think, because we’re not asking you. Anyone who says anything stupid or sexist in the discussion forum will be megabanned."

it rather dissapointing.. who is to say a guy can't play as a female spartan. we play games to escape reality (well some of us) i play becuase they are fun.. but i customeize a character in any game to be what it want it to be..i'm not an elite in real life but who says i can't play as one in the game

i probabaly would make a character that had a female voice and i would'n't be insulting to anyone

saying i can't play as a female voiced character or even by saying you don't care what i think becuase i'm a guy is just wrong.. tell all the WoW players out there that they can't be a female character if they are a guy... it is downright wrong and crazy - so i HOPE you do care what guys have to think about it..don't just single out the women here.. i hope you care becuase if you don't it is really dissapointing to see bungie fail at not listen to feedback of all kind..

love,
tomcatjones
