Subject: Et 2am Brute?

Hey Frankie I have a question... Why do people refuse to read the updates when they say that most of the textures are placeholders or everything is subject to change, and then complain about what they see in a documentary even though there's no concrete elements yet?

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.
- RvB, Simmons to Griff.

Dual wielding swords would be awesome. What will be the amo count for the sword in multiplayer? - I heard that it is no longer infinite.

I think I noticed something that could have been really funny in that movie, When the master Chief kills one of the brutes and then walks over him and then in the top left of the screen the left analog stick pops up, and it says something right next to it. Do you think it could be saying click down to T-Bag, that would be so funny

I absolutely love the vid. Looks freakin great! The brutes... WOW! Keep up the good work guys. There may come a day where I will be programming games like this. One can only hope.

  • 12.21.2006 12:52 PM PDT

Will the brutes still be using the brute shots nd red plasma rifles?

there's bullet holes where my compassion used to be...
and there is violence in my heart.

Check out the screen shot for the HUD:

http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/img_4135389.htm l

What's up with the brute's armor before he dies? It looks like there is a white flash (plasma?) and then all his armor (helmet and everything) is gone- bare brute.

Strange...

u know wut will be cool

after you kill a brute its armor has a self destruct sequence

that will bring a whole lot more stratagy to the game

Questions:

1) Could you provide more details on the brute-tactics? For example, will they think to flank? Will they attempt to bait you into a trap? Creatively use grenades?

2) Will the AI actually improve at higher difficulty levels (in campaign mode) or will their numbers and weapon power merely increase?

3) Will the brutes have new vehicles?

4) Will the brutes have a full arsenal of weapons? For example, an equivalent of sniper, rocket launcher, and assault (much like the already existing covies).

Thanks for answering some questions and putting in all the hard work. Looking forward to a great game!

We see that there is dual swords that the Elite is holding, will we be able to have dual swords in the Halo 3?

I've got a question, well three:

The elite carried two swords, was this for a cutscene or was it the arbiter

The warthog without a turret, was this an unfinished animation, a mongoose or somthing else

And the hammer, is it a playable weapon in halo 3

Frankie..All i want you to answer for me is this:

Whats up with all with all the gore and violence?..I mean..i'm not against it...i love gore and violence...I'd love to see that much gore..But..it doesn't sound very Halo-ish to me...

Well thanks anyways..Can't wait!..

so, if this is part 2 in the ViDoc series, where can i find part 1? sorry if this was already mentioned. i'm too lazy to look through 20 pages of posts.

i've noticed that the shotgun seems to be a little more effective in halo 3 than it was in H2. normally when i fire a shotgun at that range, it doesn't do anything, but now it seems like its actually causing damage from a distance greater than 3 feet...

  • 12.21.2006 2:29 PM PDT

RIP Halo 2.

Frankie, you spelled "about" wrong on the front page news post for this article.

  • 12.21.2006 2:35 PM PDT

I have a question.
does this mean we will see future vidocs over other races?
like the grunts,elites,hunters,flood, and buggers?
i would like to see them.

I know you guys have stressed again and again that this is an unfishined product and the scenery is just various sandbox type arenas used for editing and programming but I can't help but be somewhat worried anyways.
Please don't stick us in dark underground Earth with Quake or Doom like monsters to fight! I will cry!
Of course Bungie wouldn't do that(I hope) so I should quit worrying.

The graphics even now looked amazing though.
Can't wait for the real thing.

The Hammer was stupid when tartarus used it. Halo 1 was atleast mostly feasable. But a magical hammer with a tractor beam? What the hell?! Please don't have anymore hammers, especially don't make them playable. Also, I noticed an overabundance of lights on the shotgun. Why would a shotgun have a bunch of blinking lights. It looked best in Halo 1 with less lights. The new look for the brutes is pretty cool though. Now they don't look so much like a child of a viking and a monkey.

Did anyone see that pimped out Carbine?!? It looks sw33t!

And the SMG looks a million times better. And green blood? YEAH!

I can't wait! Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, and SMG in the same game!
