I wonder if SI talks verbally or just uses the environment in order to get his message across. It would be funny if the SI posted a gif on some billboard if you end up doing something stupid.

I agree. But I'm sure his surveillance functionality would be mighty useful in a more stealth-oriented game.
Indeed. I'm excited to see what they've come up with. I assume a lot of the battles are going to be a lot more close-quarters. Reminds me a little bit of the beginning of Outskirts in Halo 2, except darker and more focused on stealth.

While I was taking a shit, I thought of a follow up concerning my "gif theory". I kind of hope the SI has a humorous side. With it being what I must assume is a machine, will it have that type of AI or will it be just a hum-drum-run-of-the-mill type of robot. Maybe some unintentional humor could be expected on it's part. I don't know, I'm just really curious about how it's all going to play out.

Exactly! Please make it happen Bungie. 
On a sad note, I really suck at this game now. It's such a piss off. Plus getting teabagged isn't helping.
edit: Oh nice, I upped my looking speed and can do better. Fuck I forgot about all that!

Honestly, I can't see the maps getting released only as late as Fall 2009. I mean, they've shown off a near-complete Assembly, no? Also, why would the map achievements be in Halo 3 if the maps are going to be released with (the stand-alone game) Halo 3 Recon? It doesn't really make much sense.

What you say makes sense though. Seems to at least.Brainboy said:

You make a good point, I'm definitely going to take the Fall 09 DLC date with a grain of salt until I hear about it from Bungie. Friday will work for me.Brainboy said:
Talking with Dan he said it was originally designed to be dome shaped but they went back and made it into a bowl. It's true they've been working on the map since Halo 3 launched but that particular map's delays don't seem to have anything to do with pushing it back for another SKU's release.Sean said:
Got mine for free along with an extra controller (one's a sixaxis though) and MGS4. LBP was the only reason I planned to buy it but now that it's fallin into my lap, I'll use the extra money on some PS3 games.Sir Fragula said:
Can't Fucking wait for LBP!!!
Being a nice guy pays off.Trasher said:
For sure, considering the last pack was released, what, 3 months ago; that would be one ridiculously long wait. With Gears 2 and COD5 coming out soon, Halo 3 will need all the new content it can get to stay strong (don't want to lose Squad Battle).Trasher said:

Is the Halo Wars trailer from last night available to the public? All I heard about Halo Wars and the Flood was that the Flood were in the game.Frenck said:

That's good to hear.Edit:
If you are telling us this, how much are you able to reveal at this point?LukeSmith said:
The word "stealth" here isn't really a great word. This isn't a stealth action game like a Splinter Cell game. This is a Bungie-made Halo game where you will play as an ODST, which of course, is different (and no, I'm not talking about how it's different ;b) than playing as a Spartan super soldier. This isn't Halo Cell, Ghost Recon: Halo, Republic Commandalo or whatever.
Edit: Forgot Call of Halo and Gears of Halo.

It starts at the 4:50 minute mark. It's not a closed off Forerunner installation buried deep beneath the surface. This is a full scale Flood outbreak out in the open on the fields of Harvest.
Trasher said:
Before I saw the video above I hoped that it would be a cameo appearance or a fight against them in the depths of a Forerunner installation but the vid shows that they are on the surface en masse. There are even tentacles coming out of the ground. Ensemble has to blow up Harvest and every one involved with a planet killer nuke if they don't want to interfere with established canon.

Too late, I've already coined HALO GEAR SOLID 4: ODSTS FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.LukeSmith said:
Thanks for the link. It looks like its going to be a fun game to play.Frenck said:
To answer your original question: No, I don't think that the inclusion of Forerunner technology or Flood, even openly on a planets surface, are deal breakers when it comes to the fiction. I can already think of a dozen ways it can easily and elegantly fit into Halo's timeline of events without breaking continuity or coming across as contrived. That said, if we get a few of theses prequels with Forerunner technology and/or Flood involved, then there might be issues. Ive always held that the best possible Flood game would be one like Dead Space, so hopefully we see a title like that in the future.
Also, was anyone ever a fan of Full Spectrum Warrior? I loved the first one as a hybrid between a tactical shooter and an RTS, heavier on the latter. I think a Halo game with that pretext would actually be a lot of fun.

I dunno if this has been asked before but probably. Anyways it seems when you load a queue of file transfers the Xbox doesn't check to see if there are any queued unless I sign in and out. Is there an easier way?
I can only think of two solutions. Probably due to a lack of creativity or a lack of sleep.
1) As I mentioned. They blow up everything and everyone involved at the end of the game.
2) The Spirit of Fire crew surivives, reports back to the UNSC and it turns out that a top secret ONI branch knew about the Flood 20 years before the events of the trilogy (possible tie in with Cole Protocol).
There are other options like collective amnesia ( :lol ) or the Star Trek: Enterprise way of saying "but they didn't know they were fighting the Flood, it could have been any hyper intelligent alien parasite lifeform."
I give the Bungie franchise group and Ensemble enough credit not to consider those.
I'm genuinely interested in possible solutions to this whole thing.

I think I recall that you can just back out to the menu and it will cause a recheck for new files and they will download.

Thanks, I thought that did it but I tried and it didn't but since you said it did I tried again and it did. Guess the second times a charm.
On a side note you can download a lot of files. I thought there was a limit people complained about but I have all the MLG maps/gametypes. My files (Forges, pictures, videos), and I downloaded like 50 pros gameplays off their fileshares and I'm still not at the limit. How are people honestly complaining about this?:lol

I don't even read the Halo threads outside of the Halo 3 Official thread and the two screenshot threads we've had. So much unecessary bickering and too many laughable posts. Pretty lame for the most part.

I've been playing through bits of the campaign recently (getting some skulls that I never got around to mostly, but some playing for fun as well) and I'm remembering how much I initially enjoyed it before I moved on to multiplayer only. One of these days I need to make a legendary run.
Anyway thinking about this made me realize I do very much want some more Halo 3 campaign. I was initially disappointed but it was all my own self-hyping this as the rumored 3rd person/squad/cover/big co-op game but hopefully that's in the pipe as well. Bungie always tells a good story (Halo 2 included) so i'm sure they'll do something pretty cool with it.

Yeah a little bit. I'd be happy with a 50/50 split.
Right now one game/map combo i'd like to see is squad battle crazy king on avalanche with tons of mongooses and nothing else, where you have to use the vehicles to move from place to place, then jump off and fight at the objective.
Guess it won't happen except in custom games, which the usual parties I join don't seem to want to do these days.
