When I read the "rain dance" part again, this came to me.

I'd love you guys so much if you could customize weather!
It would add so much to an epic battle if there was a thunderstorm...and maybe the ground was a little slick (obviously level-specific, like it can only snow in Snowbound, not rain). Or even just being able to change the time of day would be nice.
That'd also be really cool for machinimas.

Thanks, KP. I almost made it through this, yet another boring, humpday challenge. You -blam!-s can't hang with the school of old. And by -blam!-s, I mean noobs. Please, bring on a real humpday challenge, if not by 777. Thanks again.

Much Love, TL.


I apologize for the spam. I appreciate the updates. I just feel like something is missing from the OGG love. /psychotic/not

Altered gravity = good times. While I read of it in the second game with you and Frankie, I am reminded of Unreal tournament play with an instagib weapon. I'm assuming you guys mean less gravity and not more gravity which is already featured in the multiplayer in some form after picking up a flag/skull (an option to go slower with these objects if I'm not mistaken). I don't know how I'd feel if the option for gravity was set to a negative value as if to have all players be really heavy, as that wouldn't be conducive to fun gameplay, but you never know ;)

Also, if the option stays for the final game, please make the name, description, or background fit within the Halo universe. It's going to look awkward if you can suddenly turn on this feature as if to give Spartans an edge in battle or maybe because we are suddenly on maps that are somehow smaller than Reach, Earth, Halo(s), etc. I know this is sci-fi here but things need to make sense. All I ask is that you make Newton proud! :D

Hint to when halo 3s done? Game duration for game 3.

  • 02.02.2007 3:12 AM PDT

I played a few (modded) games of HaloPC with very low gravity, unlimited rockets and overshields.You could turn round, jump, and fire a rocket at the ground to launch yourself across the map and away from the attack... with a stream of rockets following you.. and you firing back!

I hope we will be able to replicate this in Halo 3 because it was awesome fun.

awesome udate KP, can't wait to play with altered gravity. gonna be so fun!!!!! oh also, will the altered gravity be in the beta?

  • 02.02.2007 5:43 AM PDT

I've been here longer then my profile says. Halo fan since combat evolved.

Wow, like Krispy Cremes in Hong Kong its akin to a sickining and great event all at the same. Sickining because you dont know if that jelly was a vinalla flavored plastic or an petrolium by-product, and great because anti-grav, how cool. OnE thing coo7er is if you could change the weather and time of day settings in the game, would make for some epic night battles, which would be just jiffy with the halo soundtrack. But serously, the game seems to be looking great (though more photos would be nice) keep the updates constant; i say this with a passive tone of face, and i would write more about how much i love them and want them.. and crave them, But ^.^' thats for later.. Thanks for the update.

- do you think the maps will have a daylight savings time setting? if so the man would need an in hud clock, and that would be a pain to add, no?

  • 02.02.2007 6:01 AM PDT

And the Red states are mad because the people in the Blue states are making them pay for roads and schools instead of cool stuff like NASCAR and shotguns. -Grif

Sounds like you guys had fun. GL with the rest of the game.

And I am looking forward to the other options that the EGM guys hinted at like the winning team being on fire and stuff like that.

Drew the awesome.

Sweet. HA mid life people got destroyed.

Get Ghost.

Nice. Can't wait to play with gravity settings, should be interesting.

  • 02.02.2007 7:22 AM PDT

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

1. Gravity settings will kick the hind quarters!!!

~~anyone thinking 1% gravity...~~

2. "which actually required me to change about 15 settings in various locations and Lars to do a rain dance"

the possibility of this quote giving away hints to you being able to change the weather?

3. over all, I must say that KP is getting real good at writing these things up.

  • 02.02.2007 7:39 AM PDT

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.

Could we please get some clarification on the Rule of 3 method of signing up for the H3 beta. Does it have to be 3 hours of actual game-play/ matches or just 3 hours of being in the lobby, and do the games have to be ranked game-types, or can I go into BTB where the longer games usually are?

Perf- tell him "probably" november since that's when the last 2 halo games were released... but the truth is, nothing's been officially announced :(

  • 02.02.2007 10:20 AM PDT

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

If you can reduce gravity... than you can increase gravity... no more crouch jumping... but on the other end of the spectrum... Imagine gravity at 25% or 12.5% or 6.25% or 3.125% or.... okay I doubt it will go below 50%... But boy will Modders be sporting some heavy new toys! in any case. GOOD JOB BUNGIE!!!!!!! the awesomess Emblem ever indeed!

So does this mean that the spartan laser and the rockets are both going to be available in Halo 3 or was it just that you guys still have the rockets in the build?

btw nice humpday and a good read.
