ok so im a little late, but i just watched that map editing video, and thats crazy! maps are never going to get boring, and halo 3 is really wrapping up to be the game of the year. i wonder where cod4 and other games are going to fit into, but this seriously looks amazing!!

i cant wait to break into the new features

Well, since you've made it this long I would recommend not looking into the new features at all. It will just make the experience all that much better when you have it in your hands on launch. :D

I would do the same, but who am I kidding, I can't help myself! :D

Awesome, thanks for posting. :D

edit: just now listening to the new Bungie podcast.

The mission designer guy just confirmed that you will not be playing as the Arbiter in Halo 3. I don't know if this is old news, but I just thought I'd post it. :)

Huh? What do you mean? I thought it was MC, the Arbiter then 2 Elites for the 4-player co-op.

Oh yea, I remember reading that. The general consensus was that the Arbiter missions in Halo 2 were bland and not as exciting as those by MC. Rightfully so, I'd rather play as MC throughout.

Well defo I agree I would much rather play as MC but I also feel like they have started a story with Arbiter and I really hope they find some resolution and don't just abruptly end it with no explanation :unsure: ...

You can still use his character in co-op indeed. But he will not be joining in the for the single player story, like in Halo 2. At least, that's what I understood out of the podcast.

I think it's a good choice. Playing as Master Chief is much better, seeing as he still is the hero/main character.

I'm positive that the Arbiter's story will not be left out. In the E3 trailer, there's a scene (which looks to be part of a cutscene) where Master Chief grabs the Arbiter's throat. I'm sure that the Arbiter will be part of the storyline in Halo 3, just not as a playable characters. (except for co-op :p)

maybe it means you wont be playing any campaign missions as him like we did in halo 2

GOOD!

I hated playing as the arbiter.

I remember the first time I played as him, I betrayed all my covenant "buddies" because I though they were the enemy.

It was so confusing for me for some reason :s

I rather play as MC and kick ass being a super human... rather than some naked alien slug.

I think the new thread about the halo 3 museum ad needs to be merged with this one.

These new trailers are amazing, I love the fact that they are taking a more human side to the war aspect and not just run and gun. Does anyone know what that action figure set the man is looking at? I hear its a recreation of the Battle for New Mombasa, I wonder if its online on the bungie site or anything, it looks sweet! Bet they are either going to give it to a winner of a halo 3 thing, maybe a lottery with all the pre-orders, or just sell it for a lot!

I just got back from the 'First To Play' event in NYC and it was freaking amazing! A couple of the Bungie guys demoed Forge and the Saved Films feature and played one of the campaign missions co-op and it was incredible, looked pretty kick ass on the IMAX screen but then playing it on the LCDs was unreal! Everyone got to play twice, once on the IMAX screen and once in the theater lobby.

I played on Last Resort and then Guardian. I loved Guardian, great map and Last Resort was decent, but I was never a fan of Zanzibar anyway ;) The Radar Jammer and the Flash Bang are pretty cool. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use the Hammer or the Fire Grenades but I saw the Hammer in action and it looks like it'll kick some serious ass. :)

The whole experience was great, people trading gamertags, talking about the plot, talking to the Bungie guys, man it was awesome. I cannot wait for this baby! Sept 25th can't come soon enough! :drool:

My first goal in the campaign is to kill the arbiter; I don't want his assistance.

Glad you had fun Magik! I can't wait for the big day!

Hey I jsut notice something guys: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/13/bungie-t...-game-baseball/

o.O Cool!

"For example," said O'Connor, "we already now see there will be a need for more smaller symmetrical maps ... I think [content packs] will be, if not more frequent, more predictible and smoother."

I'm really excited about this quote here from Frankie. :D

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.

      The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
