first off the maps look good, however the turret fire in the first screen shot needs to be refined it looks like somthing from playstation one or the origonal nintendo,

It sounds like their will be atlest 3 types of granades and you can hold two of each, how about just being able to hold 6 of any combonation, you could pick them up like weapons hold down the x button, or toggle it and just pick up what ever.

im not sure how the wepon holding is going to work, probably same as halo 2, but i think you should have an option to drop one wepon for a buddy that is out or has crap wepons, rather than having to look for another wepon to swap it with, so you can cycle wepons between a well orgonised team. Perhaps that idea could be implemented on the last idea, hold a total of 6 granaeds if you dont want one place it down with out it going off so you can pick up another, however you should be able to cycle through the other graned types not just toss the one that you have on hand, or you could toggle between my ideas and bungies standard set up.

what are your ideas on this

i forgot to mention on thing, i hope those man cannons dont lag like the stupid grave lift on that stage with the moving energy cores from memmory its colossis i dont pay much attention to the names of the maps that are crap, cause that would just suck.


i also want more info onthe matchmaking, hopfully it searches for people that are close to each other to reduce lag, and host does not get the huge advantage as in halo 2

I agree.The lag thing pissed me off too.And yah,i think it was collosis.I thought it sucked too,so I don't quite remeber either...

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

Anyone see the shotgun has a flashlight, probably. Just thought I bring it up if not again.

I see a few things, well for one.
Look on the High Ground picture; what's driving the Ghost. Looks to me like a White/Silver elite.
Means that elites must be back in.
Valhalla also seems to look like "Halo" from the first game. (The level called Halo; Level 2 >.<)
Finally, you can see a reflection of the Spartan Boarding the ghost in High ground :)

I'm looking forward to this game.

EDIT:

The spike grenade resembles the flechette ammunition used today. And it does look like a helicopter.

How about a movable turret? A machine gun you can move around and set up.

H3 still lacks an indirect artillery-type weapon system. How about a mortar? You could have semi-guided rounds like they do today. Or it could be something that requires a little teamwork. One person to man the mortar and an observer closer to the target to provide updates for the mortar team ("Right 20 meters, Drop 50")

Finally, if Bungie really wanted to create a stir in the gaming world, how about some suicide attack weapons? MC wearing a suicide vest, a Warthog or Ghost tricked out with an explosive payload, and a Banshee doing a 9/11-style crash on Red Base. Perhaps these weapons would have long respawn cycles, but they would add some cutting-edge flair to the game.
My apologies to the troops in Iraq who are dealing with the real thing, but H3 should not leave out the most effective ground weapons of the last 25 years.

Thats a pretty horrid thing to post; 9/11 style crash. Ken Dawgg you should be ashamed..

Go bucks...... #1

How many grenades can Master Chief actually carry? In the snowbound pic. One of the master Chiefs is dieing and is dropping three grenades. I thought he could only carry 2 grenades of each type. Also, in that same picture, what can you tell me about the planet in the background?, it has city lights on it, or thats what they seem to be.

Regarding the screenshot released on Valhalla where a Spartan Laser is presumably powering up.

One couldn't help but notice that the gauntlet on the Spartan's left hand is the five-dot ones we're all familiar with by now, and not the revised three-dot ones that we saw in the announce trailer and the one with the Spartan holding the two new Brute weapons.

I know... I'm probably slow with this one, and somebody undoubtedly posted it already, but I saw 11 pages to this post and felt dismayed. See if I can't get caught up and figure out who posted it first.

Cheers, everybody. Here's to December 4!

WTF?Your right.There's two reasons I can see for this.

1:it's another placeholder.

2:you have an option to pick from wich spartan disigne you wish to use in the multiplayer.

anyway,CHEERS!
