Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

wow, thats interesting. i hope they make destroyable phantoms in single player, although it could ruin some of the gameplay if you destroy the phantoms (especially if you're glitching off map where they just sit often) before they put down all their troops...

that map also looks quite cool, anyone got any idea which one it is? i haven't kept too up to date on all the halo news recently and evidently missed that one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not single player footage?

I just noticed that in all the stuff we've seen from Halo 3 so far, there is no Flood.

I think it's safe to think that they'll be returning in Halo 3 - with the Gravemind and all - but in all the Bungie Updates I've read - in all the screenshots/videos, never seen/read anything about the Flood.

Did I miss something? :p

Indeed, so far in Halo 1 and 2 they always held back some big major secrets until the game was released.

Ill never forget the first time I met the flood. *fades to memory*

The little guys arent so bad, like party poppers... *final door opens*

HOLY SH**%*#&$*@!

*end memory file*

Good times, yeah

Yeah that part was awesome. The cutscene from Pvt. Jenkins really built up the tension for me.

Great game. :D

It was the big guys coming out of nowhere that did it. The marine and the cutscene were pretty building though. I felt relieved for most of the level since there was near no Covenant.

I really wonder what the Flood will be like in this game.

The flood in H2 were a big disappointment. Detail was embarrassingly lost with the popcorn flood guys, the shrills of the flood were plain annoying and not viscous as in the first game. However, I did like the fact that the Elite retained their energy shields and the popcorn guys were able to resurrect a downed fighter. That popped my eyes out first time I saw it. Hated the fact that with the little guys swarming you they wouldn't all "pop" when you shot or mealed one of them as in the first game, only a few.

I'm sure H3 will scare a few of us :devil: Or atleast I hope.

I'm sure with Forge anything is possible. I am anxiously hoping that we can decide whether or not vehicles can be destructible or not. How cool would that be to vicariously play Halo through Halo 3!

I remember reading somewhere that it is one of the options. :)

That still scares me. :| I really love that cutscene and the music.

Yea, from what I've been reading, the amount of customization available in Halo 3 custom games is incredible. I mean, if you can select what weapon a certain player can or cannot pickup then having destructable/indestructable vehicles seems to be a no-brainer. :p We will see! :D

Oh well...

^ it was the radar going crazy red that did it for me.... and it was dark in the room, and I was alone.... and i screamed like a girl. :blush:

And the marine who goes nuts and shoots at you.. ohh how that brought me so many mixed feelings....

lol. I dunno what it was about myself, but I got through the cutscene and I wasn't really frightened at all. I was more in a 'bring it on' mood :laugh: They were just more things for me to kill :p

I have a feeling this game will contain a lot more double take moments than the original, such as the marine shooting you etc. We are given huge epic battles apparently but theres sure to be a minefield of emotional content for to those who love the story :D

I sure hope it'll be like that. I have good confidence in Bungie that they'll satisfy every single one of us. :D

Yeah, the deadline's approaching quickly. Not a good thing for me, seeing as I still need to buy an xbox360 - and am out of money! I'm going to get panic attacks soon. :laugh:

Yeah, that's my real reason I'm looking forward to this. To hell with Forge, as long as the story is mind-blowing, I'm happy :D

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
