There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Halo 3 is going to be great. and yet at the same time, after I beat the campaign, and get sick of multiplayer, then what... that is a very scary though. a world without halo... Anyways can't wait for the game!

Damn! At the beginning I had my doubts about Halo 3, but it gets better every week. I love to read updates nowadays coz they are more like "real updates" with actuall usefull info, rather than the vage blattering we were used to with the Halo 2 updates a few years ago.

The graphics and sound effects sound exciting - especially for MP! Can't wait.

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

sweet update Frankie

It's all sounding so awsome, graphics, audeo, everything really !
The step up in graphical details are sounding excitingly next gen, It's the details like you have discribed that would really get my attention like textures , partical effects and trees ( the swaying canopies thing sounds very cool) and of course lighting,lol Instead of wasting covenent and saving the humen rase in generial you will prohably just find me stairing in ore at the surroundings. the brute doc gave us a sneek peek at charecter interaction and behaviour, be really cool to see how this progresses with AI and animation, combined with the audeo. things sound like thay are shaping up awsomely. wounder what easter eggs you guys have hidden away to ? look foward to hunting those out.

PLEASE please please bring back the difficulty badges that display when you complete a level!

In Halo 1, it was awesome to see your accomplishments (especially Legendary) displayed on the screen below the level.

Halo 2 didnt have that visual proof of your completion of legendary, just the sweat of your brow as an accomplishment.

So, PLEASE can the badges (or something equally cool) be implemented in the game?

Thanks!

(sorry if this has already been posted in theis thread)


you mean like achiements now? and i think the gears of war way would be great, when they have an achiement for completing each level and the difficulty

noticed that there’s a lot of extruded detail – that is to say, 3D objects on what would normally be flat surfaces.

This is cool, but don't get retarded with it like Epic did with UT2004. Some of their maps, you have entire hallways that are nothing but pipes and flanges. Busy and ugly and easily hung up on, which in a game like UT is death.

The End

I have a beta question regarding the level of community partisipation. I've found through numberious sites that sometimes forums are not the way to go when it comes to people with something important to say, so I don't much post in the forums. I do however, read the update faithfully every week to see what is going on and what progress is being made. Recently I've even tried to be one of the 1st people to post making the ever so popular 1st page responders. I also have slowed down on my Halo 2 multiplayer for a number of reasons. The most obvious would be the fall of the level playing field that has come from the more darker side of the community. I have played countless nights from 8pm to 8am before people have found ways to exploit the game. I do feel that I knew about the changes before most, as I would often tell people to send feedback because there was something off about that game session. So my question would be is the Alpha test going to be composed of the same people that have ruined the game, or the most honest of the community. After all would you really want to reward the people exploiting your game by letting them test it? So that is my question. Does someone like me, who doesn't indulge in the community that focuses on being the 1st to respond to your weekly updates only to tell us that they are the best because they were the 1st, someone who only posts when they have something important to say; have a chance to be part of stopping the exploits and hopefully help you guys in making a game that has a longer play life than Halo 2?

P.S. It would be great if you read to page 6 just to stop those idiots on page 1.

Hey Nice Update o btw to that geman guy who apparently hates everything that is Halo and Halo 2 and Halo 3........................you are aware that noone is pointing a gun to your head to play any of them and for that matter your not being forced to read the updates or anything on this site.................my question to you is why in the world are you wasting your time saying that peole who try to get a high lvl are losers that havent accomplished anything when...you yourself seem to be so proud of you 900 plus collection of games and having every system known to man i have almost every system to and i have alot of games for each of them but.....its not so much an accomplishment as it is proving that we love video games whether they are popular or not my personal opinion is instead of saying you think Halo in every way sucks you should pat bungie on the back for making a game that so many people love and are still playing even though it was released a few years ago i mean Halo 2 is one of the most played games on live and people who dont have XBL still play a mltiplayer game with their friends every now and then its one of thse series that you can always come back to anyways i just think a TRUE game fan would not criticize others for playing a game they dont like but would acknowledge that a GREAT company has made (a) VERY popular game(s) that is loved by many anyways just sayin (in a very long runon sentence ) o btw to that guy who keeps saying that your dissapointed that theres only ONE new vevehicle in the new insatllment of the Halo series even though there are new races and such he wasnt saying theres only one new vehicle for the whole game he was saying its just one new vehicle he was admiring with the improved rendering and such i mean theyve alread named the Mongoose as a usable vehicle so you now know theres at least two new vehicles he just hasnt named the newest one o btw sry if i am off on my facts but i havent been able to keep up with updates so i dont know if more than just the mongoose was named but i should be able to keep up on them now oalso sorry about tis horendously long entrance and also sorry about typos and such im to lazy to fix them anyways its good to be back in the community i love it later o yea GREAT UPDATE LOVE TO SEE SOME MORE WHAMMBULANCE AND SUCH KEEP UP THE FANTABULOUS WORK....................it is aewsome.....couldnt help myseld LQTM<<(Laughing Quietly To Myself for future reference)

I really hope they do co op online 2-4 players on this game cuz i think that would be cool, and i wonder if on legendary you dont revert this time if one of your co op players die, cuz i also thought it was cool in halo 1 where my one partner charges in throws grenades dies for me and we swap in after we respawn, its funny!

I hope they also put in skulls in each level again with cool new amazing powers instead of disabilities, and not only that but you should be able to play co op online and find the skulls still cuz that will be the coolest, searching the skulls together! YEAH

If all of this happened i think my campagin of halo 3 is complete

Forthnight? Where's the humor in that and emo is really -blam!-. anyways. Totally new vehicle sounds awesome and so does the detail that going into the graphics it better be as good as gears of war. I'm wondering though if when he mentioned him and that other dude were on seperate machines but in different "sessions" does this mean there's not going to be online co-op again. And if he's not playing through legendary until the game comes out who the hell is doing the testing and stuff on that?

Dude you need to learn that nobody is innocent especially when it comes to halo. People just go crazy over the exciting game and there is always going to be cheaters. Almost everyone in halo 2 did or was with a cheater. People:

Standby, team standby, secondary standby, boosting, circle boost, delevelers, glitchers, bridgers, soft modders, disk stopping. Everyone has cheated before and dont even say you didnt because i bet you have done one of the following before.

And there will always be unfair, weird or dishonorable people in halo 2 such as.

betraying, deleveling, cursing and screaming, random feedback, standby for host, member lock, take away your account, and there is so many other things i can name of that people do are stupid in halo 2, and i admit that ive cheated before, and so has everybody in halo 2, so if you think that honorable people deserve halo 3 beta then name them, and they couldnt have cheated before in even such a small noncaring way. Pretty much nobody is honorable and probably everyone wouldnt deserve the halo 3 beta

I agree with a Grunt there should be a chick chief.

  • 01.20.2007 7:52 PM PDT

I always pondered on why people have wanted a 4 player co-op online campain. Could you just imagine tring to keep ur team in the same spot with out them wondeing off. plus how would bungie go from a 1 player transition to a 4 player transition. This would be hard to do. plus if they did make a 4 player co-op, it would be way to easy to beat... no point.
altoughth a 2 player co-op online would be fun.

Also, could the new vechile be a brutish vechile? they have no vechicles. probly will have spikes on it......

Urgh my eyes. Use paragraphs please, and cut to the chase, it took me at least 10 lines before I got to your question.

Personally I think it would be great if people glitched the game, that way Bungie would be able to fix it, so that when the final version ships, there's less glitches for people to use/moan about/-blam!- about/flame about.

Anyway, yea nice update, I love it when Halo 3 updates arrive, so exciting.And the new vehicle... I vote a human one, there's only 3 driveable vehicles as so far (if you count the tank, I'm not sure if that's in 3). The covenant have what... is it 4 just now?
