I was fooling around with Forge the other day with two 'cameras' when I stumbled upon what I believe may be an overlooked bug regarding the animation of the Gravity Hammer. The main 'swing' function instigated by RT is perfectly fine, but I noticed an inconsistency between the animations triggered by the alternate 'melee' function (instigated by RB in the bumper-jumper control scheme), when observed from:
1st person - i.e. the avatar doing the melee; and
3rd person - i.e. the view of an observer, standing behind them as they do this melee attack

This is trivially easy to reconstruct and test in either Forge or a Custom Game if you need to be convinced, but in a nutshell, here is what goes awry:
1st person - e.g. it looks as if the pointy handle of the hammer is jabbed forward; whilst in
3rd person - e.g. it looks like the hammer is being swung horizontally like a 'scythe'.

I can well understand how this disconnect could have been missed in testing and it does not diminish my admiration for what is undeniably one of the most coherent and well-balanced game worlds that I have felt privileged to experience. I hardly use my 360 for anything else!

I really want to know what you said but your like (E=Mc2) Divided by the incorestigationofbiglongwordsidontunderstand I got ya man, he's saying that with the Gravity hammer, the B button melee may have different animations in first person then others can see in third person at the same time. I'm gonna try to confirm it when I get off work though.

bug confirmed on my end, the animations do not match.

Thanks for taking the time to confirm this. I thought there was something suspicious about it. Maybe Bungie will get around to fixing this in the next update (version 1.2), then Halo 3 will be perfect!

This is not important.It is just a visual bug.Bungie doesn't need to try to fix this while they should be making some operatable Shadows/Phantoms/Seraph/Pelicans along with jumpsuits/jumpjets in a teched out downloadable space map in which there are no insynchronization/lag issues.In a seperate note,if you read this Bungie I did not mean to offend you guys(if I did).You guys are doing a great job,so I comend you for your great efforts that were worth it.Hooray for Bungie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But can you guys really make this space map please??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!It can have the worst lag issues and I'll be thankful for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no more caffiene for you

cant say as Halo 3 will ever be perfect. Anyone ever noticed when charging a laser and throwing equipment, the equipment just falls from your chest. Also no idea what this looks like in third person.

...the hammer doesn't affect matchmaking...

if you get stuck in a hammer gametype, remember you can throw a grenade to lower their shields, it makes it possible to kill them from farther away...

Its not really a bug. It doesn't affect gameplay. Bungie did it on purpose. They have their reasons.
