Luke, if I didnt have a girlfriend that would kill me If I did it, I think I would do it.

But since I live in Canada I would buy you a new one!
To play Halo 3 Single and Multi. I think it would be worth it.

I payed 3000$ for a trip for 2 to California just to go to E3 in 2003 to see Halo2 debut.

Luke, Overheat is one of my closest friend. Trust me... he is in Love with Halo! If he said he would give you his TV... (holy god...) He is crazy enough to do it!!!!!!
 
Uh, that just looks like the SPI helmet duct taped onto the MJOLNIR armor. I hope the SPI itself makes it in, even without the camouflage.

Imagine, indeed.

If it looks pretty much the same I will tear your beard off
 
and a fresh way to customize your character with unlockable armor, dubbed 'Armor Permutations'.
Say what?

Details are still sketchy, but we understand that at some point during the single player campaign, you'll unlock special armor and helmets that you can apply to your multiplayer character.


OOoooh and yay!
The plan is also to allow players to access these screens via the Bungie website for whatever innocuous or devious purposes you might devise
 
After our hands-on with the new courses, in addition to a then-early play through the public beta, our conclusion is that the Halo series has fire in the belly and a team behind it that won't be satisfied with a game that is anything less than the best shooter on the system - on any system, even. The public beta is a good indicator of where it's headed, but what we saw is even better.

The Halo series brings with it a sizzle that most franchises just can't muster; Halo 3's mechanics are razor sharp and deserving of all the critical praise the series has received so far. What's even more exciting is the idea that this is just a fraction of a segment of the game. We know next to nothing about the single-player campaign and the number of maps yet to be revealed outnumbers those that have. And that's why we're excited.
I'm agreeing with IGN, which is scary.

Also:

Brute Chopper

It is on the map Shrine that we were introduced to the Brute Chopper. Originally referred to online as the 'Brute Ghost', this vehicle is actually a new variety of vehicle altogether.

Luke's legacy lives on. :lol

That would be perfect imo

I actually want something more raw. Something like the Brute Spikers, which scares the shit out of you when you hear it from behind you. Sounds of tearing metal and shit... so you can hear that sucker from a mile away.
 
Shrine and Epitaph look really fun to play. Someone told me that Epitaph may play like a new Prisoner and it really didn't hit me until I saw some of these environment shots. The lighting looks ace.

Shrine is going to be my dream map. I'm admittedly a huge fan of the vehicle portions of Halo's combat, so Shrine is like the full size sandbox I've been waiting for. I wonder how many Wraiths we can drop on that sucker. The Brute Chopper looks like ****ing ownage. I can't wait to use that thing.

Last Resort looks really cool too. Glad to see Zanzibar back in nice form. Now, there's one other Halo 2 map that I'd like to see and its not Foundation... :D

I like the new palm trees... and the ocean looks much more tropical.
And the islands in the distance. You know all kinds of people (*coughvoccough*) are plotting how to get out to them right now.
