the people over at gamespot are saying its crap



its gamespot, what do u expect from the people that gave TP an 8.8 on the wii.

Is the small clip with the arbiter dual weilding swords confirmation that dual weilding will be used in Halo 3?

also,

When we see the grenade bar on the screen, it looks like the Arbiter is shooting a gun. Above it is a bar guage not fully filled. Is this a boss health bar or something?

Frankie...

Hey um.... I know I'm a jerk but I was wondering if you might answer a teeny-iddy ickle question that my wife and I have:

Is the Brute-Spiker projectile effect close to where the final design is heading for Halo 3 (i.e. bright, colourful little rainbows that look pretty... but kind of .. um... daft) or was that effect just another placeholder months and months old?

I'd love an answer to this particular question because this was the only thing that really struck me as kind of crap in an otherwise remarkable, exciting and spectacular documentary.

Thankyou...

don't take me too seriously..

So when will the next ViDoc be released, and what can we expect to see in it?

I'm hoping for one about the humans, marines, ODSTs..

Hey Frankie,

Did I see the arbiter for about 2 seconds? lol
O teh noos for all you who dislike the arbiter....cause he might be back.

I personally like the arbiter and thought it was cool seeing him again.

For those who havent seen him yet. Try looking who 2 brutes are attacking around 5:36 - 5:39, when they talk about "brute packs"

Is this where you can ask questions that Frankie will actually see and maybe answer in an update? I never knew how to ask Frankie Questions that he will actually see, so I was wondering if somebody could tell me how.

Frankie, you said I could ask questions in this thread. Here is one that has haunted me for over 3 years: how do elites reproduce?

The targeting reticle for the Assault Rifle looks different, what gives? Looks kinda like the human pistol reticle, but not quite. Is this just because it's an early build? Will we still have the original targeting reticle for the Assault Rifle and SMG?

Also I'm sure you've already heard about this by now, but GREEN blood? Brutes blood in Halo 2 was blue! Please confirm my wish that it's just the early build!

Lastly, with all the new attention towards the Brutes, what about the Elites? Will we be seeing anything new in the form of weapons or armor?

Oh, and lastly lastly! In the beginning, Shiek said Halo 3 will have everything (I don't think he means EVERYTHING?) you guys wanted for Halo 1 and 2. For example, the Mongoose seems to have a pretty solid spot for the final game. But what about the FLAMETHROWER? Maybe a surprise? I'd sure be happy...

No "New Halo game" will ever be the same without Bungie.

Great movie, but I can't hold my tongue on one issue: Why isn't the crosshair in the middle of the screen? I absolutely hate the limited FoV and off-center crosshair in Halo 2, and its still there in Halo 3. Is this something that has a chance to be changed before release?
