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?

I don't think there was a HUD,either.Probebly used that replay thing,for the vid.

Just a quick question for Frankie...

Can we expect there to be more gore in Halo 3?

I got mixed signals from this Vidoc as one second there was an un-textured Brute ripping both arms clean off of a marine and the next there is a scene with a brute who brings his hammer clean down onto a marines head. Head decapitated you say? Wrong...the marine just sort of slumped down with no apparent damage to his cranium...odd...

Personally I have always thought that the kills in Halo 2 would be a lot more satisfying if the energy sword ripped your enemies clean in half and that maybe the game needed a tiny bit more gore (maybe not quite as much as Gears)...

QUESTIONS FOR FRANKIE

When the chief was shooting the brute with an SMG, it looked like the brute had an energy shield around him, is this true?

By saying that in Halo 2, the brutes were a "damage sponge," does this mean that the brutes are going to be weaker in Halo 3?

Knowing that there is going to be more than one chieften in Halo 3, will there be a big leader like Taurtarus was in Halo 2?

How many squirrels does it take to screw in a light bulb? lol jk.

Will the grunts be wearing the same armor?
How many new weapons will we actually get to get our hands on?
I personally didn't like the halo 2 shotgun because it felt weak. Every time I pulled the trigger I felt like I didn't even had a weapon on hand. The design was kinda lame too.

Here's another question: Are you guys going for the "short and sweet"approch in the campaign,or are you headed in the direction of a longer one? Since were discussing things about the campaign,it wouldn't hurt to learn a little general info about it.

The names Mark. Skidmark.

Dude, hammers were the only reason to play oblivion and fable, and until recently 1 of only 2 things missing from halo.

If Bungie lets me hammer people online in H3, I will send them lots of Pepsi and Taco Bell to give thanks. It's sooo hammer time. Break it down.

I've got some questions: In Halo 3 wil the level of violence shown there be present in gameplay?

When grenades went off I didn't see anything happen to the environment. Will destructable environments be in am much prevalant way than those in Halo 2 (coolest parts was when you could destroy stuff, not NEARLY enough destructable stuff in that game)

Can we melee while dual-weilding without dropping our guns? (Pretty sure I saw this)

In the final game do you think the graphics will surpass the announcement trailer? (And have some awesome textures (unlike announcement trailer))

Will we still be fighting Elites? IMPORTANT (Loved fighting Ellites, Brutes not so much)

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

If you can say, about what stage of development are these images? exactly how "early" are these?

Also, the ripping of arms and limbs? Is that true to the game, or yet to be finalized?

awesome vidoc but i have a question. Will there be some explanation in game as why the Brutes suddenly have this armor? Also (if you know and will tell me) will the hammer act sorta like the sword?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

So are you adding dismemberment into the game?

And why do The Brutes have Green Blood?

In halo 2 weren't the grunts on the side of the elite's and the jackals were on the brute's side?

I agree with the gore factor. In Halo 1 and 2 the only thing I could guess would make it Mature rating was The Flood. From the Vidoc it showed a Brute ripping off arms of a soldier and an Elite sclicing off a Brute's legs and stabbing his chest. I always shought for a little more violence on Live, it felt like I was shooting bbs at him and then he would fall down. More gore?

Also on a side note, As the Elite scliced on the Brute I saw he was dual wielding swords. Oh snap, naw that idea would be to stupid, I'm hoping they dont put that in multiplayer, but just keep it as an Elite campian thing.

Check out our Xbox Indie games in the Xbox 360 Marketplace!

In the background of some of the movie there are some monitors with the scene from the original Halo 3 teaser with the Title Halo 3 in the corner, and what look to be menu options. Is this the main menu screen that we are being treated to as well???? I like it.

I have a few questions:

Will the Chief be able to use these delcious banhammers/gravity hammers?

Also I noticed dual swords is that a cienamatic or can you wield two swords in the game?

With the fancier helmets will the higher brutes be easier to headshot?

Will the chief be able to preform finshers like the brutes do?

And finally I want to say the new shotty looks sweet.

yah about the grunts with the brutes that didn't make any sense to me either. but maybe that was the only working in game model at that time, maybe the jackles wern't made yet.
And about the gore factor. I thought we would have seen stuff like that in halo 2 but my wait is over. I hope being able to cut of appendages with the energy sword stays in Halo 3 I Can't wait. WHAOOOWHAHA!!!

Well in halo 2 (not including the 3rd book halo book) was the first time the humans and the bruts fought so they might be adapting to ther new edimy. And i have no ideah on the hammer question.

Question for Frankie:

What's with the arm ripping and leg chopping?

Will we get to do or see any of that in the campaign?

I want to carve up some grunt steaks!
