It was about time we answered some of your mailbag questions, so we did. There's a tiny update on the state of the Podcast and our cowbell-filled theme song. We also chat a wee bit about the Warthog, or more properly, about some of the new AI creeping into Halo 3.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] the lone jackel i have a question for bungie : after releasing halo 3 will you be making a (new) type of halo were u play as covenent as its self instead of switching back and forth like as in halo 2 campaign or have u already incorperated this into the halo 3 gameplay??? [/quote] From what i've read before, and by informants. I dont rightly know. But I am pretty sure this is the last Halo series called "Ark" But it seems like a good idea to have a full covenant side to a halo story line. You never know. Maybe you could be a "Forrunner"? OR maybe something like that. (sorry guys im brainstorming here)

I know of a good idea. How about you can toss grenades though portals and push things through it. Like bombs and fusion cores. (also warthogs) And also get splash damage from a grenade or something exploding on the other side of the portal. I mean that would give a whole new meaning to tactics! (I would also say bullets going though would be awesome too!)

I have a question for all of those people working on halo 3, and that is: if it would be possible to make the controls for Halo 3 completely customizable? I ask this because I, sadly, don't have a right hand, I only have an arm down about 2 or 3 inches below my elbow, everything below that is not there. So when I buy or rent a FPS and I cant change the primary fire to the left trigger in some way, weather it be totally customizable controls or a southpaw like in halo games now, so that I can play the game, I become very frustrated. Plus if you guys at bungie make the controls completely customizable I, and others out there who maybe have the same problem, could also make the left bumper the control for gernades, which i currently don't use while playing Halo because there on the right trigger, and I cant pull the right trigger without taking my arm of the right thumbstick. It doesn't have to happen, but its just something to think about. And please don't whatever you do get rid of the southpaw for button layout, or I will be royaly pissed. Especially since the Halo series are my all time favorite games and i would like to be able to play through the final one!

my theory on the "new button schemes". xbox 360 controller. right trigger = Shoot... right bumber = melee Left trigger = throw grenades left bumber = switch grenades (note they might keep one of the bumpers for talking on the Mike) B = something new? or still melee? A = same as always X = same as always Y = same as always Left stick = same as always Right stick = same as always I belive that making one of the bumbers Melee is a good choice, because then the players dont have to take there thumb off of the right stick to melee, so you can aim the melee more.

i think the warthog thing in campaign sounds awesome. that was a real pain when ur playing ledgendary and they go for the wrong guy like a grunt instead of an elite. ______________(__||____||__)_____ |-------------.===.-.~,~~:_____:______|================[_] |_______/___/ \```|------|___|

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Paradyme Finally some intelligent friendly AI, I'm so sick of my teammates blowing me up with rocket launchers or shooting me with a sniper rifle. I feel like I have to baby sit them. [/quote] Agreed. Now, if only Bungie could do something about the intelligence on Live.

Finally some intelligent friendly AI, I'm so sick of my teammates blowing me up with rocket launchers or shooting me with a sniper rifle. I feel like I have to baby sit them. I figured you all might change the control scheme. What is good about you guys changing it is that you still give us the option to turn it back to the old control scheme very smart. Great update in my eyes.
-
I just wanted to know what would Mister Chief would look like with Darth Vader's costume?
-
Yay for the awesome AI!

So, I've been studying for a business law class and took a break to read the online halo article thingy. Anyways, are they getting rid of Southpaw in Halo 3? i play with that mode and probably could never play halo again if they changed it. I actually play with Southpaw Boxer so hopefully they keep boxer too.

Well, you can get some in the Halo 3 thing, located in games on here. Besides that, I want so many enimies, that I barely have time to rest in the game.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] maloney7676 new H2 maps please. more frequent mm updates please.[/quote] Nooooooo!*Dives* No H2 Maps, Halo 3 must be uninterupted, or else we shall wait,but as I have said,[b]just a picture[/b].I don`t Lust for a Actual Gameplay Screenshot, just something with a spartan Standing or something, just as simple as a new angle on when he walks in front of the Rubble,or even a Covie Shot, just somethin`,if you guys don`t want to show the new weapons, go ahead, but just a spartan pose,and Shooting would be Nice.[i] I want Wallpapers!!!![/i]

The Halo talent show.... must... get... sheet... music...
-
I can not wait for this game! The warthog sounds like its gonna kick some major face and i can't wait to fight alongside these smarter marines. So when you say lots more enemies do you mean like, a bagillion times more harder?
-
I want a marine like the new AI
-
Awesome update. Can't wait to see the new AI in action. If I petitioned to have super-intelligent/accurate marine AI left in the game, would you? *Coughs* Sigh... go ahead and destroy my dream now..heh
-
Is there going to be anymore trailers anytime soon?
-
Good Update. That video was sick. That guy was right though, it has gotten a little boring, Its been over a year since the last maps game out and creating new games does nothing. I can create new games by myself. However I think it is important to work on the Halo 3. BAM [Edited on 9/17/2006]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheFlood16 am I the only one in the world that likes the 360 controller better for Halo 2? Glad to hear the classic controll will return [i'm too used to it to change] [/quote] I like the X360 Controller better as well :)
