I can't wait to meet Urk!! He sounds awesome. Me and him are going to be homies, I know it.
-
Thanks for the song, and a great update worth reading! Thanks for [i]"KEEPING IT CLEAN"[/i]
-
Halo Music rocks, Marty...way to go!!! Cant wait until i have the game in my hands.
-
Thanks for giving us the "Prepare to Drop" music from the trailer! Always loved the music from Halo 3, good job Marty!
-
Holy update Batman! that was an awesome update. Now people have no excuse to ask these questions on the wrong forums!
-
Excellent. The Q&A returns in full force, and I feel fulfilled after reading this week's update. It should get me to next Friday at least.
-
Great, now people are going to spam every forum asking for Coagulation, etc. But great update, where can we get the other Halo tunes?
-
[quote]D3athSfriend asks: Q: Will Bungie be making Halo themed items for your Avatar when the dashboard update comes out? Nope! We have no plans to support Avatars. [i]We’re flattered that Halo 2’s party system has become a feature-level element of the New Xbox Experience, though.[/i] [/quote] How is it being used?
-
pleaseeeeeeeee make a ODST helmet like for halo 3. I would love it forever like I love u guys already and my helmet I already have needs a buddy.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kweeb Great update; it's good to hear that H3R will have 4 player Co-op. I guess my question is- Since only one person can play as the unnamed ODST, Who/What are the other 3 players going to be? [/quote] ok there has been one question i've been dying to ask how are they going to do health i mean are they going to reuse the whole energy shields thing or are they going to come up with a whole new system for Recon I think I can answer both of these questions, (understand I'm not an employee, just making a guess) 1: All players will play an unnamed ODST in the new co-op campaign. They are ODSTs , albeit not as numerous as regular infantry they are far less rare than the Spartans. 2: You will have to play a Metalgear type game, using tactics and stealth. Yes this means no shields(or atleast a far less powerful version).That's why the ODST in the CG video is carrying a silenced SMG? and backs into the shadows as the brutes pass. As we all know that scene would have a massive -blam- woopin if it were MC in that drop pod.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the spartan officer achievement i have the medal and im past the rank i need to be but i didnt get the achievement. It really sucks cuz now i can't get rogue armor. Can someone help me with this?
-
holy crap! the pictures are back! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy!!
-
Urk is really an awesome guy, he's gonna be awesome in this job. Don't steal his BR though.
-
Lots of neat updates! I also like that there is another Halo Art Book coming out. I never did get the first one. I didn't even know there was one to begin with! XD [Edited on 10.17.2008 8:13 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BadBall3r47 Well I'm still disappointing in there being no Blood Gulch but my hopes are still high for a custom map editor where I may be able to make it myself. Well I can dream. Good update though, I can't wait until some of the new maps are announced :)[/quote] I'm sure Sandbox will be the answer to hopes for a Blood Gulch, it seems very likely to be a huge outdoor Foundry. A lot of people seem to assume the Mythic Map pack are all 6 maps mentioned, has anyone stopped to think these six maps may be two entirely different map packs? The Mythic pack is planned for release in 'early 2009'. Then Recon will be out around this time next year- near late 2009. 6 maps at once then a years wait for Recon? Dosen't sound right. I think Recon's release will include the 3 of the maps that aren't revealed in Mythic. -"Mr. hero dude's" weapon looks like an SMG, just with some new handy features... inlcuding a silencer..... and maybe a cup holder....

wait did we see different versions of the video cause mr. hero dude's weapon doesnt look like any other halo weapon i've seen but seriously whats recon dude holding
-
loved the update but u guys spelt my name wrong you put 10 7s not 7 7s :( [quote]Vinnie7777777777 asks: and will H3R have co-op campagin if so whats the max number of people? Halo 3: Recon has full feature parity with Halo 3, so you’ll be able to play the Campaign with four players, just like Halo 3.[/quote]
-
sweet.nice.update
-
Thanks Marty! Please tell me H3 Recon is going to get its own soundtrack. Marty did such an amazing job with all the others it would be an injustice to not have one for Recon as well... I'm keeping my fingers crossed regardless.
-
Marty, I love you [I]so much[/I] right now.
-
That was a pretty good update. Met some new people, got some new stuff, and learned a few things along the way. I award it [b]Three Gold Internets[/b]... And Urk, I hear you'll be taking a look at Bungie favorites. You know, I think I have just the video for you in my fileshare. But nah, seriously, its fantastic, probably one of the best overkills. Ever. Might as well try, right Bnet? [Edited on 10.17.2008 7:31 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WKS So i dont get it. Are they putting the entire Halo 3 multiplayer experience onto the Halo 3: Recon disk? And if so, why? That's a waste of time. Why even put the forge on there? why not just put the campaign, and the new maps on it, and then call it a day. I'm not paying $60 for the disk when it's value is $30 without the multiplayer and forge aspects put in. (What am I talking about? I'm a Microsoft fanboy, of course I will.) It still doesn't make sense to me though. Can someone clarify things for me?[/quote] As they said before They have not certified a Price of this new Expansion... and its an Expansion for Halo 3 meaning whoever buys Halo 3:Recon it will be easier to play the disc and play the new game and then if they want to play Multiplayer than they don't have to switch discs over and over again. Even if they want to play the Halo 3 campaing then sure you will have to swap disc but with this new expansion it will be a while before someone will go back and play the original campaign. so all in all, its just easier to play Multiplayer and the New Campaign in a new disc. and besides it will make the expansion disc more useful than just campaign. Look what happened when they released the Halo 2 multiplayer Expansion disc. People just bought it and downloaded the content and then used it as a coaster... (well that's what my brother did...lol) [Edited on 10.17.2008 7:22 PM PDT]

It was a good update. Of course, i caught a mistake: it was stated earlier on that Blood Gultch will not return, but in this update, it was stated that they already said Blood Gultch/Coagulation... but of course, they could have went back and edited. But all around, what a good update, actually, the past few updates have been awesomesauce to the max! I can't wait for the render-to-video :D game on! [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WKS So i dont get it.

Most expansion disks are $20 to $30 anyway? again, here people go assuming XD ASSUME < get it? :P [Edited on 10.17.2008 7:18 PM PDT]

A lot there, but nothing tickled my fancy.
