I was playing gears of war the other night on live and thought to myself "how are we going to communicate on halo 3 with both shoulder buttons taking up reload?"
Solution: your mic only allows team talk like on gears of war

I dont know if this is what bungie would do, but i cant imagine the all powerful x button becoming a useless chatting device.

Yea m8 i think to plz every 1 we should have an option on halo 3 AT LEAST that lets you only join games in your country or area, that way if your a racist you dont have 2 put up with people u dont like and if you are tierd of racists (mainly americans, you have 2 admit).


That comment makes you just as much of a racist as the next person. Just so you know.

The game is made in America and they want to do most of the "Testing" locally. That's how it's done with anything. Some people in other countries will be able to "TEST" and that's about it. Probably mostly to test Latency and all kinds of other technical stuff. One of my points is that the game is only a TEST, it's not the actual game. Not everyone can play it PERIOD. If I don't get to, i'm not going to cry about it. I ONLY want to be able to test it because i want to possibly help make this one of the greatest games ever. I want to help get out all of the bugs and therefore make it a more fair game to play. I stopped playin because of all of the cheaters and bug exploiters. It shouldn't happen that way on this one.

As far as all of the stupidity about America vs. whoever, SHUT UP!! That goes for everyone, not just the guy above me. No body around here really cares to hear it. I don't think the majority of the Americans have a problem with you people untill you start bringing up crap about us being Americans. I personally take offense when people start attacking me verbally because I'm an American. It's stupid. It's a game people, stop making it political and go play. When this game comes out on the 360, you always have the option to choose to not play another gamertag if you want. Simple as that. Move on and let it go. Let's get to what this is all about and talk about the game and not propoganda!

Knowing this won't do much good...but just had to say it,
Me


Excuses me but I am the most un-racist person you will ever meet. It’s not MY fault there are loads of racists out there. I’m trying to think of a solution, if u have any better ideas I would like to here them.

P.S. when the hell did latency come into the conversation?

"Why wont you die" "because I am an idea and ideas are bullet proof"

GT: Slightly Good

I just hate the fact that all these people post something that has nothing to do with the update.

Q: when master chief is getting up, he hears the little girls voice. Is that a hint that really happned (whole scene with two kids), and possibly that is Chief as a kid?

Here I go with my theories.

huh, then you must not like monks and orchestras, but I must admit, I did miss the heavy guitar from the first two Halos.

It was a variation of a theme, at least Bungie didn't take pre-existing music (i.e. some grunge rock or pop music) and slap that in there, now that would have been stupid and lame

i agree with what u said completely. i wasnt sayin the commercial wasnt good- it freakin rocked. the update is what i was disapointed in...but nyway yeah. go Bungie and Halo 3!

im so hyped bout H3.... and just to start a new conversation, here's one:
how about the X button istn just for the bubble shield.... what do i mean by that?
well, now that ur two extra buttons (black and white) are the reload buttons on teh 360 controls, how are u gonna shift throurgh 4 gernades? my theory is that its kinda like gears of war- u hold it and a mini menu pops up, and u hold a direction. and lets think- 4 kinds of nades, 4 main directions to push the control in....(up, down, left, right). hhhhmmmm...

I understand what your saying. In halo2 the D-pad (directional pad) had no use in gameplay. They will probably make more use of the D-pad for Halo3.

The bubble shield looks so awesome and if the games graphics are even half as good as the commercial, it would be incredible. The assualt rifle update for Halo 3 as well as the pistol (i hope) is great. Bungie tototally outdid themselves even in the commercial.

(Halo wars looks awesome too)

theres already that kind of system. if your setting of the the Xbox is English, you will be matched up with other people with English as the setting. this is only from trying it on matchmaking. I set it to a different setting then English (something, couldn't read it) and got matched with some none English specking people.

and if you meant country to country (like Block All Canada's) why would you need that? if someone is that raciest then mute them or have a "block gamer tag" setting

Concerning the comment about a YouTube remix using MA-themed music of which you disapprove -
Halo : CE and Halo 2 are MA-rated video games.

Well if im guessing this right, this "shield gernade" is a spike gernade. EGM (electronic gaming monthly) magazine actually played Halo 3. They said something about spike gernades deploying a shield like thing. However they said that shield hurts people...not protect them.
