Yes, we Dutch talk with an accent, but so do Germans when speaking English, and so do French etc etc. But I guarantee you not a single Dutch person will talk with an accent like the one in Goldmember, we dont talk with "ish", but a normal "s". Oh and not to mention not only do we Dutch most of the time speak fluently Dutch and English, many of us also speak German and/or French, can't say fluently, but well enough. Can't say thats an embarrasing thing tough. Anyways, nice update, but I think its time for some real nice updates. For instance, people outside the States will not buy EGM propably, so what the hell is Forge really about? Is it like you can actually build your own map, or do you modify excisting maps? Things like that.

The flying base thing was cool, but probably wont be a good thing for a ranked skirmish match of capture the flag. It would be nearly impossible for the other team to get the flag if it was flying around. but i guess the fusion cores would have a longer time set for respawning. I also am wondering about the whole being able to swap between male and female spartan characters for multiplayer. Would seem like a cool option for all the girl gamers out there. News about this needs to come out soon. [Edited on 08.04.2007 5:35 AM PDT]

not that bad of an update, It obvioulsy cant compare with the coop anouncement earlier this week, but it was informative.

OMGZ YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! 126th POST!!!!one1111!!!!one!!!!!!!!!11111 Anyways, great article. Definitely going to buy the EMG Mag when it comes out... Forge sounds so awesome! It is absolutely time to "GET HYPED!"
-
Would love to see end of game stats, ie number of enemies killed, number of headshots, game finishing time.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IIDWells55XII Regardless, I shouldn't pay $130 for a product and not get the whole package, especially when the missing component is a piece of blue plastic that costs them a nickel to manufacture.[/quote] The Legendary Edition [i]is[/i] the full package, why include the piece of plastic geared towards the videophiles when it'll remain unused by nearly all of the Legendary buyers? Sell it separately, most won't want it, really. [Edited on 08.04.2007 1:38 AM PDT]

great update Frank, thanks man loved the photo at the end, that guy has some BADASS armor!
-
i dont think u will have it back in time i sent mine 8 weaks ago and i still havent got it back btw. im dutch :D
-
I will probaly skip out on the calibration stuff........at least the blue plastic thingy anyways.....
-
I'm not a custom game kind of guy or really tinker around with stuff but a huge exploding elephant pinata has definitely got my attention.
-
OEEE YEAH ! That co-op points system realy sounds addicting to me. Its also cool that when you give them a headshot you will get more point for that :D. But they didn't mention anything about the achievementsystem in coop ?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IIDWells55XII Let me get this straight, I'm paying $130 for the Legendary edition and you've gimped the calibration tool by making me have to purchase a blue filter and pay shipping for it if I want to make the calibration easier/better? Come on.[/quote] Bungie said it's basically for "very fine scale adjustments" (that would no doubt be unwanted by the average tv owner), ergo, it's not a vital component of the application.
-
Great update.
-
That picture at the end had some very nice grass in it.
-
I want that armor... I wonder if they will sell CQB and EVA helmets like the one in the Legendary Edition of Halo 3?
-
obo obo yty yty
-
I really want to see that flying elephant.
-
reh coop is sweet. makes me want to become cooperative with fellow comrades.
-
very nice. i know i ain't no lady, but did u guys add that feature where u can be a lady in the game? (if u did mention it in this article, sorry, but i just skimmed through it - pretty long). respect, peace out Zaeet
-
omfgzerz!!!!!!!!!!! its so obvious. MC is dutch!
-
while the characters have the same power as far as melee strength, etc: won't the physical size and shape of the characters affect co-op gameplay - I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but we all know how body design of the elites affects Halo 2 multiplayer (especially with SWAT and sniper games), so there has to be some effect in Halo 3 - the other elites not appearing in cinematics is dissapointing I might add even though I know it would've been more difficult to do

[quote]Frankie: What we didn’t expect was the effect it had on the Elephant physics. Now the huge metal beastie is indestructible, but it has weight and mass in the game universe, so explode it enough and you can move it. Explode it with a never-ending cascade of fusion cores and you have the most dangerous Halo item ever. A vehicle big enough to park a Scorpion a Hog and two Mongooses inside, flipping around at incredible speeds and tumbling all over the map, releasing exploding cores and the occasional vehicle like some kind of satanic piñata. And all the while, players have the ability to play a normal game variant in this environment. It’s sheer insanity, and just a taste of what players and player-designers will be able to achieve with Forge. We literally cannot even fathom what folks will come up with using time and imagination, as well as Forge’s multiplayer nature. Actually, I need to invent a fake word that combines normal game players with level designers.[/quote] That bit about the fusion cores and the Elephant flying across the map literally made me lawl. That was easily the funniest thing I've read all day. Sir Frankie, please ensure that such a "satanic piñata" is available in the final game. I'm sure that you, in all of your power and glory as the ultimate Bungie Content Monkey, can see to it that this makes it into the shipped game.

Damn u.... I used the word Forgers first. (Damnit, I should have copywrited it) Nice update though............
