almost 15 minutes ago i was listening to the radio (Radio Deejay for that matters, one of the biggest in Italy) and at one point one of the hosts (Linus) said he was asked by Microsoft Italy to voice one of the characters in Halo 3.
at the moment i thought it could have been a new character (and i was worried cause his acting skills suck) but then he said he did the role of "Marine #2".
at one point he started reading some of the (circa 1000 he said) lines he recorded for the dub and more than once there was flood involved.
one of the lines was something like "If the flood are here what happened to earth?" which makes me wonder if Halo 3 will not be entirely set on earth.
others were like "i'm not a doctor but i'm sure he's dead" or "hit him in the eyes" and bullshits like that.
don't know if this is worth its own thread so i posted it here.

Manp said:was that already known?
If you're one to believe that the leaked achievements are real, then yeah, it was already known.
I doubt the achievements will be identical to the ones currently in the beta code. They will (and should) change some stuff. But I still believe the single-player achievement stuff is pretty accurate. At least in terms of locations and progression through the campaign.

Well, there should be some forerunner architecture on earth (the Ark). Either way, I don't really care where most of the game takes place as long as the environments are varied enough. Earth, of course, has many different kinds of environments and they could have us moving from different continents, etc. We may go somewhere else on earth before going to the Ark for all we know, so making most of the game take place either on or around earth would work just fine, and I'd actually prefer there to be a larger focus on earth this time.Tieno said:

I really hope halo 3 works better then 2 did when it comes to switching around locales.. did anyone else laugh at how the halo was found in halo 2? "oh yeah that's just another halo yay"

I didn't think it was that bad, but if another Halo ring just so happens to pop up in Halo 3 I will throw a brick through my TV (ok, maybe not...). This is one of the reasons I like Halo: CE's story so much more than Halo 2's, it isn't nearly as ridiculous and is much more focused.goldenpp72 said:

Huh? The Covenant knew the location of Installation 05 (Delta Halo) because they were told by Guilty Spark. The Master Chief and Arbiter stories are not parallel timelines.

I did not laugh
It was pretty clever, In Amber Clad followed the Covie ship to find Installation 05.
It was better than Halo CE's just "stumbling" upon a ring
He pops in here from time to time. He runs H3DA until June 10. Then it is being turned over to 3 current Ascendant Justice community members.ToyMachine228 said:

I haven't read FoR in over a year, maybe you could drop some knowledge...
*EDIT*
"In accordance with the Cole Protocol, the Autumn makes a blind slipspace jump, and emerges in the vicinity of an unexplored and remarkable world."
Is that what you are referring to ?

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the fact that the coordinates Cortana entered for their "blind jump" were what she had deciphered as ancient star charts (or some such mumbo-jumbo) from that stone that MC had swiped from the hunters during that field trip to the museum.

I got to play a few games with a few GAFfers last night. It was a lot of fun. I really need to expand my friends list to people outside of those I know in RL. :lol

If you don't already, you will know me this Fall when your team's Banshee is consistently wasted by some retard who likes to fly straight upwards and stare at the clouds. When you are cursing softly to yourself, know that it is Old Mattacus who brings you this grief.

That's okay because it's not really the earth. The real earth was switched out with a doppleganger by the Forerunner and moved to an undisclosed location during the 60s when everyone was too high to notice.
Can someone with greater wisdom about the inner workings of the Halo 3 Beta explain to me why my File Share never works? Whenever I go to upload a film, it uploads to 100% but the film never appears in my File Share. The only thing I haven't tried yet is deleting the update and then redownloading it. Would that be a brilliant idear?

The game is called halo people.
Wouldn't make any sense to play it all on earth, and we all know where the Arbitrer is going.
I hope they differenciate the Arbitrer a bit more from MC this time around, since he is such a great swordsman give him more moves with the sword, and make him physically more impressive like he is in some of the artwork.

I've got the exact same problem, but it's only been recently. I can still upload files from a week ago, but not from the last few days, and I've tried clearing my cache and downloading the update to no avail. Which really sucks, as there's a film I want to send to an old co-worker so he could see our game from my perspective.
Yesterday on Valhalla I saw a complete idiot drive the mongoose up to the mancannon, get out to grab a brute spiker (and trip mine) then drop the trip mine on his mongoose, I suppose by accident. He then drove the mongoose off the mancannon, it exploded in midair, and he started screaming "SOMEONE HAS THE ROCKETS NEAR OUR BASE!"NJ x Falkor said:
And here I was about to boast of my first half-decent Team Slayer performance. (Two killing sprees! Raising my Halo 3 total to....three!)Chinner said:
I know. I generally try to avoid it when a person does that, but its annoying when you see other people (or myself) fighting it out and they get pushed down there just to get killed by some guy crouching behind the corner waiting for some easy kills. Sneaking and spike grenades sometimes work, but usually because the map is so fast paced a battle usually happens right before you causing you to bail out and reveal your position.
Just to establish, I think Snowbound is a pretty cool map, but when you get some half decent guy relgiously camping the shotgun it gets tedious.
A victory is a victory, enjoy itz.

That's when you press the Down button and inform all the players in the match that there is a camper in X location, and gameplay will tend to drift from there until either the camper gets board and comes out into the open or he hides in the cave for the rest of the game.

I was thinking more along the lines of drumming up cooperation in a FFA match. Which, when I think about it, is even more unlikely.
/which is why I grab the shotgun and camp in the tunnels.

If I could find the Banshee on Snowbound, I'd be out of the tunnels in a second.
