It's not so.
I heard Halo 3 has code in it to steal childrens souls.
man, i've been thinking about the bubble shield, its gonna completely change this game. bubbling people in snipe points or turrets, or even someone spamming grenades. I think its gonna balance out the sniping / rifling with the smaller weapons a great deal. I wonder how it will affect vehicles...
my xbox is in being serviced :(Quote:

Halo 2 to me represented something I really didn't care for, the Counterstrikeization of Halo, which the whole reason I really dug halo in the first place was that it wasn't trying to be the twitch and your dead shooter, it was trying to be something far more methodical. It took me months to figure out why Halo 2 irked me so much until I realized, it simply wasn't really Halo. It was a Halo themed game, that added all the dimensions of every PC first person shooter out there and in the process killed its own pace and mood, (if not killed buried it so far underneath everything else that it was unrecognizable), as what I remembered from the first game.
The fact that bungie did ridiculous things (like encourage bug exploitation, and encourage nubcomboing) in ranked matches, really didn't help the situation.
So to sum it up, I'm one of the few who really didn't care for the fact that Halo decided to be more like every other FPS than Less like every other FPS. Apparently though, I'm outnumbered.
I completely agree. The items themselves are going to completely change many encounters in the game. Though there is only one on the map at a time, there are going to be a ton of different situations that will be completely changed by the inclusion of one small item into the game. And I feel it will be for the better too.Quote:

I really hope there are more then 3 items, maybe 5 total? I would enjoy that very much.
They show trip mines in one of bungies videos, they blow up a warthog (and the person deploying it).
Can't shoot in, can't shoot out. Same with nades. Vehicles can probably just go right through it though.Quote:

They need to fix his throwing arm for part 3 though.Quote:
