yo is there going to be a 4 player co-op online and system link or is it just 2 players?
-
guys I just loved to hear that yall made the water effects better my friends said that I was high off of the water from the beta and it was awsome! And I love the podcast very funny and i just cant wait for the game to come out.

Giddy as a school girl FTW!

Is there really going to be no clan support in Halo 3, I felt clans were one of the better aspects of Halo 2, it was a way to play with others and obtain a team score rather than an individual? I keep seeing posts about a podcast or something.
-
I know its confirmed that during 4 player co-op, all player abilities will be the same. But has anyone answered the 'flashlight/active-camo' question? Here's what I want to know: Will all 4 players have a flashlight... and if so, will it act like the one in Halo 1 (with a battery power indicator) or Halo 2 (infinite, but turns off in brighter light)? When playing by yourself or in co-op, will you be able to choose from the four player models, or are you stuck in the slot your in? Will Legendary co-op act like it does in Halo 2 where if one of you dies, all players start at the last checkpoint? Anyone know for sure about any of this? I've seen a lot of speculation, but nothing confirmed.

Great update, guys! Thank you for answering those questions. Sept. 25th is coming way too slowly. :) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chunkscout24 Hey, theres all this new halo 3 info going out, such as EGM and now the new IGN flamethrower/flame grenade info... is there a reason you guys aren't saying anything about all these new things??? I mean you guys are making the game..EGM and IGN rnt.. So why don't you guys show some new screenshots, or talk about some new vehicles for a change. Seem's like that'd make more sense. idk... Anyone agree with me? [/quote] Chunkscout24, In order to be successful and generate capital (make money) a gaming magazine has to have articles and information that are unique to that gaming magazine. Exclusive content is just that: [i]exclusive[/i]. EGM has paid Bungie (or more probably they paid Microsoft) for the exclusive rights to publish exclusive information and screenshots of the highly anticipated Halo 3 in order to boost sales of said magazine. If Bungie were to release that information freely to all of us unwashed masses, then gamers would not bother to buy a copy (or subscription) of EGM that month, EGMs magazine saled would be down and EGM would be wondering what the heck they paid MS/Bungie money for. This (plus the non-disclusure agreements they've had to agree to) puts the game makers at Bungie Studios in the uncomfortable position of not being able to talk freely about the work that that they've poured all of their efforts into for so long, and having to tip-toe around subjects during interviews (and podcasts). I understand your frustration, though. I want to see more Halo 3 info and screenshots and movies and I want it now, too! It just doesn't work that way. It's not entirely their fault. It's, as they say, just business. :)

nice update!!!!!!!!!

I have a few questions that i would like to ask. John asks, 1: By the end of August, will there be another demo of halo 3 that includes lets say a mission in campaign available in the xbox live marketplace? 2: I remember a long time ago on xbox live for halo 2 that there used to be a ranked game mode called " head to head". Will that be back in halo 3? 3: I heard that some of the acheivements for halo 3 will be easy like for instance, Get a double kill..or get a triple kill. Is that true? if not can u give me an example of an acheivement for halo 3? I would really apreciate it. [Edited on 08.12.2007 8:57 PM PDT]

...I hear all this talk about how good the water looks in Halo 3...but I would like to know more about whats inside it. What about the Soffish, maybe it might make an appearance somewhere in the mix of all the good looking water? ....sigh.... A gamer can only dream....
-
Amazing update, I was out of town so this is new-ish. The "possibly" and "soon-ish" answers were written like only true politicians could, but they tell me there are still PLENTY of things unknown about the game and that there is PLENTY to do in it (good replay value, unique expiriences and characters).

with saved films wont it be easier to spread glitches and super bounces across halo 3
-
i liked most of the questions. except, i wasn't payin attention at all in the past to wat a Forge is (i think it is like the map AI, dunno please explain through message). nd i am assuming an Elephant is a gigantic transport capable of holding many objects inside of it. respect, peace out zaeet
-
I have a few questions.... 1. Who produces equipment? 2. Wouldn't the spartans visor compensate for the flare? 3. What does the bubble shield use to decide what to block and what to not block (velocity, ect..)?
-
I'm also curious about the ability to advertise your customs, but anyways it was still a good update with some good info.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jablonzo They said we would be able to 'advertise' our customs so 'randoms' could join them. Now they're saying you can't???!?!?!?! I swear it better not just be all MM and friendslist-customs. [/quote] Good, I wasn't the only one who noticed. They didn't really say that the ability to advertise customs is removed or not. For the longest time they said that in H3, you will be able to advertise them. So, they either: A.) Broke their promise, or B.) Made customs searchable through MM. I really wish they, and other 360 devs would just put a server browser in addition to MM. I really don't understand why 360 game devs are so hellbent on making everything MM only. Not everyone likes MM. So what exactly is going on? Will you be able to search for/advertise customs?

Well.. Idk if Anyone has answered this for you already but... Basicaly forge is map editor, where you can edit maps, but you cant change the physical map. For example, you can't go around changing terrain, but you can add vehicles, and items and such. Also, i believe 7 other people can be "forging" a map at the same time as you, in the same map. During forge, you can also instandly test what you've done, by becoming an actual spartan. So, imagine 8 people, runing around, some fighting/testing, and some just adding crates, weapons etc. It'l be probably the most insane thing ever. In forge however, you cannot put Elephants on a map though.. And basicaly, you can save your creations, and other people can Download em from you. Thats basicaly what forge is... o and there is a limit to the max amount of, crates/items/vehicles/etc u can put on. Hope this helps :-)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] so_cal chingon Does halo 3 start at the end of halo 2? " Master chief, You mind telling me what the hell your doing on that ship?" " Sir, finishing this fight".......[/quote] no, thats what the comic " uprising " is for
-
I just looked at the screenshots and I noticed the new armor. I was wondering if I could play as elites as I could in Halo 2 and coustomize their armor?? O and the helmets with full face in yellow, are those supposed to be SPARTAN IIIs?? If so that is awesome!
-
Is everyone that tired? I see spelling errors even in Lukems' forum post. I guess it's the countdown to Halo 3; no one can sleep. It's the videogame version of Reckoning Day. New vehicles? To be honest, I'm actually more excited about the campaign - such brilliance seems to have gone into it. All my questions were asked in this update, and I didn't even have to ask any. I love Bungie!
-
pretty sweet but to bad there is still no black as a armour or emblem color... theres preobally a logical reason for it but it would be nice to have atleast a secondary amrour color be black but no big deal that theres not also i still dont understand what [b]FORGE[/b] is...i might have missed something or i might just be [b]stupid[/b] but if anyone can give me a good explination please message it to me
-
Sweet update. When I saw the blurb about there being more weapons and gadgets than were revealed already, I almost wet myself :]. Looking forward to Halo 3 more and more as each day goes by. Oh, and as much as I'd love to remark that there are most likely clues hidden within the confides of those comic pages, I'm sure it'd be pointless. Someone has probably already come to that conclusion :O!
-
Cool update. I look forward to Halo 3 more than ever. Hmmm did that comic strip say something about "Io Station"? Is that the same Io that orbits Jupiter. If so then that means there is some sort of Forerunner artifact there. I always suspected there was. Ever since I heard the line from Cortana "Whisper near Io" in Halo 2 I suspected there was more to it than coincidence.
