It would be significantly better if it didn't have the lock-on rockets. So many vehicle situations wasted. I mostly find myself rushing through because I don't get killed by a rocket.

Mine is on its way back apparently (just under a week from it breaking in the first place!), but alas I will miss the theme and gamerpics. :(

One option would be just to put your hard drive into a friend's Xbox and download them.

Watch it from 3rd person, theres not really any technique besides solid aiming (no button glitches in h3)

I just played amplified, holy shit the spawns in that are TERRIBLE. worst I've ever seen.

There are a few bugs with the ball and maybe flag that results in a one hit melee kill when it's not.


I'm sure it will be fixed.


Also; If I downloaded the Bungie Day 07 icons, shouldn't I be able to re-download them on my other xbox? As long as they're in my download history, I can get to them, no?

Look at what happened to Eazy, he cannot find the bungie day 07 stuff anywhere, so the answer is probably no. As they will take it down after bungie day.

Dax if I remember correctly the object in Halo 2 that you're refering to is a forerunner factory.
It makes the sentinels. The flood/Covenant {flood I think} blow it up for obvious reasons.


Let me do a little research, but I'm almost sure.


Edit: Mua ha ha, Halo 2 keeps no secrets from me {except for Forunner Tank :( }

I want to drive a Forerunner tank:(

Edit: I've been meaning to ask, what was Jason Jone's role in Halo 3 (if he even had one)? I didn't seem him listed as Project Lead Designer.

Jones is credited in the Special Thanks for Halo 3. He was not involved at the day-to-day project level.

Why not? He still works at Bungie, right? If so, is he involved with another project?

Probably because he's out traveling Europe and enjoying his money while his nerd slaves toil away on Halo.

Wow, Dax read my mind, I've been wanting to ask that question for quite some time.
But I guessed at the answer, seems I was unfortunately right.

He played through the game near H3 Content Complete with each mission's designer and provided some feedback to them and at the overall project level.

What was Jason so busy with that he barely worked on Bungie's biggest game yet?? Hmmm...

Well I don't 'know anything' and don't want to seem like I'm talking out of turn,
but from the Legendary DVD where he, Joseph Staten and Marty O Donnell talk about Halo 2, one can see that with all the work that went, the ridiculous crunch hours, and the forced cutting of a sizeable chunk of content that hearts were kind of broken.
I'm not sure he wanted to work on Halo anymore, and I don't really blame him, if that even is the case.

I'm just interpreting this from what little there is to go on, so I don't think anyone should pay heed to my unfair ramblings.

I was goofing around obviously. I'm pretty sure Jason was busy liberating Bungie from Microsoft. Its certainly plausible.

So any word yet on when the maps will be available for download? It's probably 2 a.m., PST, right?

That's a safe assumption, unless they decide to be silly and do 7:07am PST or something.

PS: to the Bungie crew, this year's Bungie Day theme is glorious, and it's exactly what I want in a dashboard theme - simple, elegant, and awesome. Kudos to your art staff for putting it together!

Holy crap. That kid put a LOT of effort into those weapons - but the scarier part was how he has every single reload animation down. (He even keeps the hand shape for the non-sword-holding hand...)

Thanks for finding that, juices!

And not just the reloading movements. My kid saw the start of it, asked to watch. It's a kid and his cardboard creations (seriously impressive stuff), what's the harm? Then he starts corpse humping. :lol

He said something more specific in the Halo 1 commentary. It's been several months since I listened to it (so I could be way off here), but I'm pretty sure Jones praised the simple mechanics of H1 and also the sense of discovery or something like that. And he said he'd be trying to recreate that again in the future.

Was playing some Legendary Co-Op tonight and had a lot of great moments including a Wraith accidently shooting the Phantom's main gun off for us when it passed overhead:lol
