You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

I gotta get me one of those.

Thanks for the update, Bungie! I've always found a slight interest in this weapon, and it's nice to finally hear a bit more about it. I'm lookin' forward to trying it out!

"...usually kills a grunt or marine"....So the UNSC has been watching brutes fight grunts? Does this mean the marines & grunts are fighting on the same side now? (Could be Brute-allied Grunts, but the way they say it...) That would be awesome, both the smack-talking races... (PLEASE make better allied Elite combat dialogue!!! Less cheesy accents too..)

I don't know, the plural spartans could just be him talking about multiple spartans in multiplayer. Then again, you never know. This seems to be resembling Gears a little but heck, who cares, its still goin to be a kick ass game.

Edit: About the Grunts , a marine could have picked up a spike grenade from a fallen Jr. Kong and thrown it at a Grunt.

Not to be randomly paranoid, but did he say SpartanS? As in plural? That's interesting....


Thats multiplayer :-)

Anyway, great update. keep em coming (still waiting for that shield bubble one or the one telling us what that 4th grenade is!)

oh my god I was SO EXITED because i thought there were helicopters in halo 3!!!!!!!!! darn it life is so disappointing!

  • 01.24.2007 5:46 PM PDT

Only 1 picture of it though! :(

Lol also its seems like since its 5 times as big as plasma = 5 times easier to stick somebody

Anyway can't wait to try it out, now i just gotta find a way into the beta.

good amount of information.

“Those things ain’t made to wound anyone – to make you use up time and resources treating casualties. They were designed to make you die screaming.”

Favorite part.

“The casing is constructed of an unusual porous metallic compound. Shrapnel from the Type-2 reaches a temperature of approximately 270 to 315ºC and retains that heat for upwards of seven seconds. By design.”

Does this mean fire damage is back? if so koo.

This would be cool if they made it like Gears

There is an achievement called "Is it a spider?" and its sticking 100 enemies in ranked matches..

What you do is get really close to an enemy that is preoccupied or doesn't have a close range weapon out and you press the melee button when you have the grenade equiped and it sticks to them and you then to a backwards flip and hide so you don't get exploded as well.

Sounds cool, hopefuly if you get stuck with it in the chest and you turn around the spikes go the way your facing so if some one does stick you and jump over you, you can turn around and hope facing them will make the spikes hit them to.
