all i know is her "changes" have gotten better and better if u know what i mean, ROOWWWRRRR!!!:D

Hoo-yah! I feel ya, bro. At last I'm not the only one who thinks an AI construct is one of the hottest VG vixens

Atkins- That is the easily the most thought out and well written halo 3 wishlist I have ever seen. Instead of the classic 'this sucked, change it', you actually laid out clear arguments. Great ideas too. A map editor would be great, maybe as a second disk, or maybe as a download for pc: have the maps created on a pc, then ported to the 360 using a jump drive or something like that... It would allow for more editing than on a 360.

was it me or did MC just not fit right in the trailer like he just didnt fit in kinda of a thing... you know?

What the hell is a bridger? And am I bridginging-ness?

Frankie, Towards the start of the trailer, when it shows further back the road, there's this "wave" effect going on, and then some smoke appears and the Master Chief walks out from it. What is this effect that's being used in the background, just heat rising off of the roadway? Or maybe, some type of portal that he came through? Also, would it be possible to seeva widescreen-format (preferably 1440x900) of that new halo 3 wallpaper? (Maybe for future wallpapers as well. =D) -xFrappe051 [Edited on 5/12/2006]

Its a shame really but at the end of Halo 2 you knew there was gonna be a big big battle. but now that people say that the covenent have taken over you know there probably won't be a big battle

The damn there won't be! Chief's gonna start some $#!+, and you'll have your big battle. Viva la revolution!

When can we expect a fresh installment of boner-inspiring, juicy cinematic tid-bits of Halo 3?

to miked: oh, I imagine there will be quite a resistance going on...Just because they have taken over a planet doesn't mean they have conquered all of humankind...the marines have always been rather spunky in the halo games... and here are my thoughts on Live Anywhere: Bungie. I love you. Please don't make us play with the PC gamers. I play on a console for a reason...and more importantly, I imagine it would be MUCH easier to hack and cheat with a computer... but there are tons of things to love about Live Anywhere. The aforementioned map editor would be awesome. It could come on the CE. It could be digitally distributed, for a price, to the PC. And then we could make the maps on the PC, then ship them over live to the 360 hard drive, and share them, P2P, in custom games. So if you want to play user created maps, play custom, Bungie created maps, matchmaking. oh yeah, and please keep user friendliness in mind. GRAW was a great game, but it could be so hard at times to get into a dang game. And then when you got in, the host would line up all the highest ranked players on his team, the start. And then you might get booted ._. Halo 2 was awesome because you could just jump into a game. I loved that about it. It was easy, and it was fun. And I can't believe there are more graphical goodies we haven't seen, that dwarf those we have seen. That's pretty amazing. If the game looks exactly like the trailer, it would be an amazing achievement. But if it looks better? That would be nearly unthinkable, at this point. Once again, thanks for all you do.

so I see the assault rifel is back so can we hope to see any wepons from halo on the PC in there

[quote]StupidNinja asks, [i]Should we expect to see blowing sand and other particle effects during gameplay, or only during cut scenes? For the "level" shown in the trailer, is the massive size of the surrounding area something that is tangible? Does it really seem like you are on a huge, wide open plain? [/q] The sand, dust, smoke and other effects are all from the game engine. They will be used in the game. The landscape you saw is real geometry - the mountains and city in the distance are not a skybox - they are actual geometry that you can go to. Our cut scenes and our gameplay will be very comparable. Also, CJ Cowan, our director of cinematics, says that the texture "pop" seen in Halo 2's cinematics has already gone bye-bye for Halo 3.[/quote] Cool… [quote]llDwells55Xll asks, [i]What's the polygon count on the characters and environments in comparison to Halo 2? [/i] Not as high as it looks. A lot of detail is achieved using a combination of lighting, textures, normals and bump-maps. We're saving our polygon budget for other things…[/quote] Any Specific Kind of Normal Maps / Bump maps…. :) [quote]MC Montrose asks, [i]Hi, I was wondering if you could elaborate on what you did for the select press members after the showing... I hear you flew them around the environment of the trailer... how was the framerate? how did the press react? [/i] We flew them around the environment, flew out over the Forerunner structure, did a close-up of the Chief to show the realtime reflection of the visor (you could see the ammo counter running down in his faceplate) and showed off the unified lighting model we're using - particularly how other surfaces, such as sand, [b]reflect light back up onto his armor.[/b] Frame rate was silky smooth, but to be fair, that was basically an empty environment with the Chief in it. However, we're obviously trying to make our finished game silky smooth too. I don't know how they reacted, but one journalist asked me if I had gotten any death threats.[/quote] O your Killing Me… O golly Gee Willkers Batman… I would love to see that… [quote]Eva Ribs asks, pi]Is the geometry you can draw at 13 miles just big triangles or other basic geometry? Or is it like recognizable things like buildings, mountains, or secret Forerunner monuments?[/i] The geometry is basically the real geometry you're flying, walking or running to, although LOD (Level Of Detail) saves the programmers (in this case us) RAM and processing horsepower by simplifying what's actually being drawn at distance. The trick is to simplify things enough so you get that saving, but without turning a once-recognizable object into a dumb triangle[/quote] A lil’ Skinning 101 :) [quote]Meeper asks, [i]Why is the Assault Rifle in there? [/i] Who says it's the standard Assault Rifle? Doesn't look identical to me…[/quote] I had a Feeling…

yo i think we all want that to happen... but maken a good game takes time.................and money

so help me God we just had halo 3 ANNOUNCED like 2 days ago and people already are asking for Halo 4 THERE WILL NEVER BE A HALO 4...EVER.....well maybe not ever but for a long ...........long time maybe like 15 yrs when the games are considered classic

It is a Classic... Its Bungie :) ( I don't think there will be a Halo 4... At least with this story line and Point of View.... Altho... It would Be Cool if We Could have a Halo Boot Camp... and See Ol' 117 WIth Mandez(sp?) )

we gotta wait 1 year till halo3 so halo fans u gotta wait cuz if u want the game as good as u make it sound u got 2 WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frankie Hey guys, a Q&A about the trailer which answers a lot of the questions we can freely address. [/quote] Hey Frankie, would Bungie mind releasing a video of the demonstration you did for the press? Perhaps redone for the fans?

A map editer always raises the grade point avg. of a game. A game could be 7, but with a good map editer, it comes to a 8.5-8.8. M.E. extends the "Fun Factor."

And I think playing PC gamers sounds cool at first, but like he said, its way to easy to hack. -Aktins Diet [Edited on 5/12/2006]

I know wtf i think he just wants to sound important.........

hey can we get a flamethrower in halo3 ?

Thank's for the great update! First we had Marty's cool new soundtrack, and then his kickass trailer music. A part of me dies and is reborn every time I watch it. Just to end yet another hundred theory threads, do the books have any relation to the game plotwise? Or are they relatively independent of each other?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xXstealthlightXx I know wtf i think he just wants to sound important.........[/quote] are you talking about me? Because if you are, no. I truly care about this, and I am hoping that maybe Bungie might think of the things people have said on here, and then maybe after that, put it in. :) If you don't say anything, how can you ever let people know what you want or dream of? Instead of thinking "ah man, they should have put that in. Someone should have said something," just say it. If it goes in, it goes in. If it does'nt, it does'nt. Sa la Ve' (spelling?) -Aktins Diet

YAY! The Assault Rifles back my favorite gun, because it shoots in full auto super fast and has an insanely long clip :) now just bring back the old pistol, or atleast put in a special gametype with the old pistol only :) please Bungie with Mr. Chief on top!

frankie says it wont be the same assault rifle in H1, but w/e,
