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

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
