I got just a few things... 1) [b]"First up - Bad news for about 200 of the most serious bridgers, standbyers and boosters yesterday - we banned them.'[/b] Please stop acting like you guys are doing something about cheating. You have done a piss poor job of preventing it in the first place, stopping it period, or even lessining it. I will blatantly say that if I were in charge of it, it would have been stopped months ago. 2) [b]Q."Why is the Assault Rifle in there? A. Who says it's the standard Assault Rifle? Doesn't look identical to me…"[/b] This is the worst news since the release of the trailer. And actually I have studied this for several hours and concluded that the gun was identical to the assault rifle for Halo:CE except that the barrel was slightly longer (maybe an inch). Anyway IF this gun is a fully automatic rifle that has the range of a BR (which im not sure what else it could be), then congrats bungie, you have already made H3 another average FPS. 3) That was a pretty good update...it answered a lot of questions.

Here is my request for the next Mister Chief. Based on how HOT the Edmonton Oilers are playing right now in the NHL Western Conference Finals I would like to see Mister Chief show his support by donning the Edmonton Oilers Jersey! That would be so awsome! If anyone deserves to make the 2006 draft, it's mister chief.

do we get to finally get to see wat master cheif looks like in halo 3

Not sure if this is where to ask questions but... When cortona says "I am your shield, I am your SWORD." was that meant to be taken as a biblical quote? if that question makes any sense Thanks, Erik J.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Roket You told us that the covenent have control of earth How. In Halo 2 it is stated that the only place on earth that the coventent landed was New Monbassa. And the fleet that atacked Reach was 3 times the size of the fleet that was atacking earth at the start of Halo 2. So your telling me that that small covennet fleet wiped out the whole UNSC fleet apart from the Mac gun that the admiral in on . And after the covernent carier slip spaced inside new monbasa more Covernet landed and took over the world kiling all of the UNSC forces including the Marines. The Marines are what makes Halo and Halo 2 Awsome please dont tell me that that there all dead. sorry about the bad spelling! you have probally herd al of this before but i need to Know. sorry about the bad spelling! [/quote] I think thats when they left... Upon return, the only thing left was CAIRO STATION..."which you save". Damn and all ever wanted to know was if Bungie and or Mart are Pink Floyd Fans? caan you guys please reply to my Questinn [Edited on 5/14/2006]

why is thier a assault rifle in there i mean really r they bringing back some old stuff or somthing and in the back round wtf is with the some what built halo's????

Well if it isn't the MA5B assault rifle. Then what is it? The MA6B?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tpot FRANKIE FRANKIE FRANKIE!!!!! okay have i got your attention yet? (PS please read the bottom of this post Frankie - the most important question is there) Alright...good. Now mister I firstly have to say THANK GOD for bungies announcement of halo 3. Although in repsone to the comments written on the announcement trailer part of the site - it is a complete lie that no one thought halo 3 was your ever-discussed 'new project'. I hate to be that annoying guy who is like 'i knew i knew im so great' but seriously..... i knew. I mean c'mon! After the record-breaking success of Halo 2, how could ol' gatesy boy let you guys work on anything else!? You made him so much money! The only other piece of evidence - and in actual fact the only piece of evidence I was ever going by - that I have to suggest I knew it was Halo 3 is that YOU WERE SO DAMN SECRETIVE about your 'new project' - and what kind of secrecy could exist outside of the guaranteed success of a Halo 2 sequel? After all bungie is a company - and companies like to make money. My next comment is damn all the posters on the site for being so smart... I would have never come to any of the conclusions they have about the trailer (and hence never have gotten all the juicy goss created from their questions). This may be due to the fact that although I have played Halo and Halo 2 through at least 200 times I have skipped through the trailer every single time - I'm sorry mr. cinematics guy; I LIKE THE GAME. One quick question about the forums (and im now preparing myslef for all the angry posts) is - WHY do most posters not understand the difference between 'there' and 'THEIR'??!!?? I hate to be an intellectual snob but they are two different words for a reason! 'there' is used for "Hey, look over there!" (i.e. it refers to an area or place) and 'their' refers to to someone, or a group of peoples' possessions, as in "Have you been over to their place". Anyway - that just always bugs me. [EDIT] just another point as inspired by atkins diet (no offence dude - i usually agree with what u have to say) another big no-no is how no-one uses (or even mis-uses) "they're" -it mrans THEY ARE- so dont use their or there instead (god im 4N4L) [EDIT] I must say I am a self-confessed Halo 2 addict. I normally live in Australia, but now I find myself in Tokyo, Japan (yeh like you needed to know where Tokyo is). Tokyo is an awesome AWESOME place but the biggest problem with this place is that EVERYONE IS JAPANESE AND THEY LOVE THEIR PS2s. Frankie - FRANKIE please help me HERE. I NEED, and i emphasize, NEED to know where I can play Halo 2 in tokyo on XBOX live! I am having serious withdrawals...... its funny - I smoked a lot of weed when i lived in Australia, and yet I havent smoked in Tokyo since ive been here, but i dont miss it! Halo 2 i DO miss!! so PLEASE frankie - if you dont know yourself ask around the bungie studios cos i am dying to play again! Please send your answer to steve_baker_@hotmail.com cos I only check the bungie website every-so-often (I dont have internet at home here) and like i said i NEED to know! I await your reply. Peace and re-incarnation to all...[/quote] Posted on The weekly update Halo 3 Announcement . Nobody saw it coming. Halo 3! Who knew? For the last year or two, people have speculated about what our next project was and surprisingly, in all that time, not a single person guessed that it would be Halo 3. Not one. We declare it the best kept secret ever. (Inserts a Pic I" think" was tossed around the internet) Seriously though, it's been a chore biting our tongues on this one. Call it a combination of studio secrecy, corporate secrecy, Bill Gates already announcing it four times and, you know, whatever I laughed when read this. (Bungies post ..not yours). It's so sacarstic it not funny. I think he's sayiing its Obviously NOT the best kept secret of all times"bill gates announing it four times".... It's obvious bungie Knew that we knew.......its Bungie bro.... they are funny like that. and all you hear in here is speculation...most of us admit of probably being completely wrong.

I am so happy that they put up the "lyrics" of the trailer. Now no one can say "oh she said SOURCE" and crap like that. But yo it was a GREAT Q and A this week. I seriously hope they put out andother Special Additon DVD with the game ! I really liked the H2 one So i hope they do it again.! Also.....The Assault Rifle is back. Its back! (HEART THUMPS WITH LOVE)

hey, what would mr. chief look like without his helmet on (...hes gotta takeit off to eat, doesnt he... if not, how does mister chief eat?)

FINALY!!!! a good game for the 360!!!!!!

I would love to know are there any new gameplay elements in Halo 3 like the ability to hide behind objects like G.O.W or something like that. Or will it be the same smash mouth in your face type of gameplay. Plus will there be any new veichles (spelling). All together now. ATV.ATV.ATV.ATV.ATV.ATV. [Edited on 5/14/2006]

Glad to see my question get answered about 3d screenshots, really put that into perspective. By any chanca in Halo 3 Multiplay would we see Xbox Live Camera options, such as, helmet removal if you are a spartan? That would be a really neat feature.

Nice Update! Should we expect more trailers, video clips, pictures or anything like that anytime soon? Or are you going to keep all that stuff on the low down and keep Halo 3 more mysterious? Oh and take your time Bungie, make this game the best it can possibly be. : ] [Edited on 5/14/2006]

Is there any chance of some widescreen versions of the wallpapers? "Finish the Fight" looks fine centered, so that's not a big deal, but "Return of Chief" doesn't work nearly as well for that. 1600x1200 is too narrow for even a 1680x1050 screen (which is getting more and more common on notebooks down to 15" and 20" desktop displays), and many people now have 24" and even 30" displays with massive resolutions. I think you should offer any wallpapers that don't center nicely in at least 1920x1080 resolution, for those of us who have 24" 1920x1200 displays or 1080i/p HDTVs. 2560x1600 would be nice for the 30" users out there, but if that's too much of a hassle I guess it's understandable since they're a serious minority of users. And another thing, what's the point of even offering 800x600? Who uses that anymore? or maybe I'm just a resolution snob, ah well...

just wanting to know will halo 3 be launched simultaneusly??coz i really hate the fact that i live in england and the americans get it first!!!no offence to americans

hmmm..... maybe this has been asked, but cortana can't be a good guy any more. In the end of Halo2 after the longest credits, she and that plant looking thing were talking. she told him she knew everthing(which i think was refering to the humans and covenants) and i think she she said it was alright to ask her questions. So basically she told the bad guys everything and dosen't care any more. Is this why she seemed so evil on the trailer?
