I completely agree with you there Bonzo UK. (And yes, I did read the update.) We are put on a huge disadvantage. By the time we in europe come online in H3 we'll be up up against players that are already familiar with the new maps/weaponry while we still have to figure everything out. Here there's a very limited number of Beta allowed in comparison to the US. I'm getting sick and tired of that. The world is bigger then the US alone. And while they're at it, sort out the hostsystem. It never ceases to amaze me how some people get the host at all if you see the crappy laggy game that results from their host.

And the kid that's talking about the "button combo" bxb and bxr, you haven't paid much attention to what the Forum Ninja's write, do you? It's a CHEAT, no matter how you make up excuses for it. So it will not be in the game since Bungie doesn't like cheaters.

I love the update, especially the Mister Chief. When will we get the mp3 snippets? Love to hear new soundpieces from H3. And you sure fooled me with those kids at the beginning of the ad. I thought it was CG as well. I went like, wow, if that's how H3 is gonna look like, I'll just die from sheer joy.

That has to be the funniest Mr. Chief I've seen in a while, aside from the Escher parody in the HGN.

And I'm sure Frankie was laughing the whole time he was typing, "We do not approve of this kind of malarkey."

That web shield grenade thinger is awesome. I wonder if you will be able to customize your icon with the eyetoy, it would be awesome to have a picture/icon of your very own.

The tv commercial kicked A$$!

You play to win the game!

That remix of the Halo 3 commercial was awesome! That Malarkey was the -blam!-!

P.S.

SPARTAN-III SEBS

Although many people already said this, I am still really curious about the highly ironic "shield grenade", and who that other person in the grass next to John was in the commercial.
On a scale of one to ten for a provider of suspense and cliffhangers, I'd say Bungie's a 7.

With the people -blam!-ing about the shield.

I'm actually all for it.

If your in a bubble you probably can't fire if I'm right. Also judging from the commercial it probabaly only lasts a couple seconds meaning you won't have enough time for your shields to recharge and well it's not diffcult to see a giant bubble.

It would be usefull for saving your ass from Scorpion potshots, Rockets, or even that Spartan lazer I keep hearing about. But if you are under machine gun fire and sniper on your ass well then I guessed your screwed cause it might save you for bout 3 seconds longer than you will either get owned or be missing your head.

hey man i live in the UK and you and bonzo are getting wrong end of the stick.
though we actually have more places, we have more chances each person in US has a 1-1000 chance each person here in UK or whatever have 5-2000 chance approx because there are more people. Each comp hosted is about 500 places each i Think one site is 700.
but i agree with the cheating thing, and now he has publisised himself..nice one man ive always wondered how they seem to hit me and kill me in one melee attack
they may play on it first man, but that dont stop me kicking there ass all day l0ng on halo and gears. after we get used to it.

Im interested in what Clues are in the Trailer. Didnt read the whole thing so apologies if anyone has mentioned this. I think that the Little boy in the Trailer is Master Chief as a kid..The Transition shot to his helmet on the floor before it all kicks off makes me think that it is Master Chief dreaming while having been knocked out by something which is why the childs view is the same as Master Chiefs..

Inbreed1, here's some more ingnorance for ya. Do you go to school at all or don't you pay attention while you're there? The Netherlands and Germany are SEPERATE countries with different cultures and languages. The only thing we have in common is the euro, like some 12 other countries overhere. They occupied us during WWII. They were the -blam!-'s remember? The very thing americans are becoming today. Look at how racist some people react to my things here. Or on Live when they hear you talk. You're insulting my intelligence with your dumb remarks. Like I said, either say something constructive or be quiet.
