Does any1 know where I can get the first Vidoc? It makes me feel sooo lonely inside that I can't see what happened first... XP

and by the way SmugOstrich, you can just get a glimpse of the AR just as it is showing the fist sign of 1st person video during the doc (as Master Cheif is switching to the shotgun).

It really looks good, I just hope that there is still alot of fighting Elites. It's just that, they were the original bad guy that everybody remembers. Cant just take them out for good. You should be fighting Elites for at least half of the game, then maybe the seconed half is when the humans find out that the Elites are teaming up with them and then you can fight along side Elites in the second half of the game.

Heres a question for ya, How is the Flood going to be involved. The flood is going to be the most awsome, horrific, nasty, gorriest thing that was ever invented into the game world... I hope.

What kind of question is that? Of course we noticed the gun the brute chieftain had how could u not?
Well anyways the Chietains gun looks alot like the light plasma turret from halo 2 exept the chieftains wielding it (im sure many people have already said this but i dont have the time to read 20 pages of posts)

You assume it is the arbiter because it doesn't die. Which makes for the interesting possibility if a joint Human/ Elite fighting force.

Did you read the part where it said that none of this is final and will most likely change?

May I plant an idea in your head?
The flood control the covenant "City ship". That city ship is equipped with FTL drives. That city ship has the coordinates for earth. And there you go. At least, that's how I'd think it'd go. Unless there are already flood on Earth. O.o

OMFG!!!!! When was the first Vidoc put out then?????


I think the first vidoc is the one titled "Halo 3: In the Beginning".
It was the one that came out awhile ago on the marketplace, it was basically the behind the scenes footage of the E3 2006 Halo teaser trailer.

First of all, great documentary, the bungie overlords look ever-so-sexy in HD.
Even though everything was pretty much placeholder i was still mezmerized. : )
When the brute chief was running down that dark hallway at the end with the banhammer, i pissed myself,
An effect that the halo 2 brutes never accomplished.
And now for the lightning round of suggestions!

No dual wielding of swords, great for cutscene tho : )

You can Keep the rocket launcher, but get rid of homing, pleaseeeee. it ruins it for us wharthog aficionado's.

Dont worry people, im pretty freaking sure that we will have the chance to shoot at every kind of covenant, in some form or another. p.s. make drones cooler, or get rid of em, <3

Well i assume flood will be back, flood infected brutes.....wow i love the idea....bereserking floody brutes...in space....on fire....wrapped in bacon, god yes...

On that note, the only fun thing about halo 2 brutes was the berserking, i loved the boxing matches i had with those guys, specially with a depleted sword.

And on that note (lol) maybe the swords should be finite for h3 multiplayer, just so i can beat people with the handle...i love that.

Dude, bring the arbiter back man, he be double cool, mainly because of his voice, orgasmic.

Really i dont think anyone should worry, because whatever bungie does for halo 3 should rock major ass. im serious, its almost impossible for halo 3 to suck, theres way to many ways to make it awesome, and if bungie's prior works have been any example, halo 3 will be jesus x9247.

That was a total run-on-sentance, and i dont care!

Lastly, i dont know how to go about asking this, so ill just ask. Frankie, if your reading this, any chance
you could do a mister chief using your'e non-dominant hand? pretty please : )

haha i said non-dominant, that sounds funny.

whaaaaat? how can it not be the best? or at least the best trilogy? its like, the star wars or lord of the rings of the video games world. but yea it'll always be no.1 in my books. btw. i said this in my other post but when we see the chieftain w/ the plasma sword, its like triangulated (ooh long word) at the side. like it comes to points instead of curving?!? new rendition for brutes or just a re-vamp? if frankie reads this man i'd love an answer coz if not it's gonna do my head in untill the thing actually comes out . ugh.


oh ye an a couple of ladies i know want a pink plasma sword for MP lol. if you don't they'll -quote- hunt you down until you do -unquote- i gotta remember to tighten the leashes.... jokin :p

No it isnt because it doesn't die I dont even get where your going with that, just look at the elites frickin' armour.

What I think Halo needs is:

A) More realism (brutes ripping arms off!!!)
B) More Drama (Earth Dies!!!) Boom
C) More HUGE battles ( all of earth's forces vs. flood/covenant)
D) Flyable Pelican

I love Halo, I just think it needs some tweaks. And as far as MC dying...do it. He deserves it, finally rest from fighting all his life. Bungie, is there even a chance in H#ll you are listening to us?

i agree with you on more drama and realism, and perhaps even on chief dying in the end, but im sure whatever bungie does will have us hanging on the edge of our literal or metaphorical seats.

flyable pelican would be stupid, ugh. what they need to do is make a human equivilant to the banshee, like a flying mongooose, lol, actually scratch that, theres enough vehicles as is

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

I can only see the "shield bubble" as only being treated as a grenade. If it's the X button, then I cant really think of any means for it to be balanced, other than if its under some sort of timer. Also, any idea when the e-mails for beta acceptants will be released? <3 u Frankie
