Luke or Frankie, Question about the Skulls. Are they all available on one difficult setting? Or are certain ones available only on certain difficulty settings? Or can you not tell us that?

They can be found on any difficulty and picked up on any difficulty not named Easy.

HOLY CRAP. Pay attention to the gaurdian clip in the forge section. They've got a gametype going where everyone is in infinate teleporter loops popping in and out trying to shoot each other. That is brilliant.

Can't wait for forge ball, and forge bowling, and forge tennis. I AM SO GODDAMN PUMPED RIGHT NOW.

"Forge".. best addition to a multiplayer game ever? ..No, but close enough.
 
Do I spy Hayabusa?

Oh shit!

My hype factor has gone through the roof and it looks like I can upgrade to a Legendary copy on the 25th if I decide to.

SWEET!

:D

New ViDOC on Marketplace or on the Internetz if you prefer.

And a lengthy look at Saved Films

Best ViDOC yet.

He plays for one of the best teams in the world. Not like Arsenal, who are rubbish.

:lol

What was Liverpools score midweek? Also, seems to me Arsenal are top of the table at the moment! :D

Nah, I actually think Liverpool will win the league this year. Though spending £150 mil, they had better.

They got me too, a couple of weeks ago. When I first heard the pricing I was thinking, "are they high?". Now I am awaiting for my LE to be delivered next week...
 
Awesome improved water

Someone needs to add a BANNED caption to this

Sorry for the rough screenshots, I'm at school multitasking.
 
I still have that multiplayer beta sitting in my HD. Does Halo 3 do anything with that? I mean detecting that and giving me something for it or letting me continue my profile from it and stuffs? Otherwise, I need that 1GB.

I saw the area effect on isolation in the vid doc! Its a gas cloud released (3:05 in video)

Looks like a toxic green blob.

I think that's the regenerator effect if you're talking about the green sphere on the lower left.
 
That vidoc was freaking incredible. You can really get a sense of (even though lacks the level construction elements) how much better Forge is than your typical map creator. That scene with Scorpion facing off against a Spartan and a Monitor spawning the Bubble Shield and Laser was just amazing.

No, you can delete it.

I just deleted my Beta tonight. No reason to keep it, I just forgot it was still there.
 
What? New Multiplayer ViDoc on Marketplace??? :D

I'm in the middle of a game of Gears, but I'll definitely grab after this!

Thanks for the surprise Bungie - especially since we've been asking for that exact thing fior so long!

If that isn't a shop, I'll kiss you right now - Hayabusa perm? And Gamepsot had a pic of one that reminded me of Carmine?

And the great thing was, maybe it just looks like Hayabusa but it really isn't, then I remembered the Team Ninja/Bungie collab for DOA4 with the Spartan named Nicole! Nice one Bungie!
 
Frank's Update said:
Films may also be watched over Live in a party, with up to 4 friends watching simultaneously – however, because of the enormous amount of data and bandwidth required, this feature is best enjoyed with very fast connections – otherwise it is possible that the Films could simply run out of bandwidth, gently depositing you back in the Theater lobby. The Host of a Saved Film watched in network viewing mode is the only one who can control “time” (pausing , FFWD etc) but other viewers may control their own camera movements throughout
That is pretty wicked. Any rough idea on bandwidth requirements for 4 people?
 
Yeeeeeeaaaah I'm going to need to watch that again now.

Did anyone else have this ridiculous grin the whole time? My face started to hurt a few minutes in.

-Hornet in action
-Elephant being blown sky-high, filled with recharging fusion coils
-Crazy Guardian map filled with gravity lifts and teleporters so no one was even touching the ground
-The improved way the water reacted to the Warthog landing in it - perfection
-Flamethrower!

The way Bungie's feature set overlaps with each other - saved films and Forge, campaign co-op and skulls and saved films, etc - makes the entire feature set become larger than the sum if its parts. After beating Campaign on Heroic, I literally don't know what to do after that.

Share and share alike!

A Hayabusa perm. was confirmed in some spoilered multiplayer impressions above. Whether or not this is it is the only question. (Looks like it is)

And I love the way they talk about what a monumental technical achievement it is, because it so is.

"Everytime someone hits rewind, my heart stops."

It's called Hayabusa.
 
I dont know how anyone could watch that vidoc and say that halo3 multiplayer is just halo2 again. I'm sure they'll find a way though....

You left out the coolest part! (The Bubble Shield spawn followed by Spartan Laser pwnage of Scorpion) Though those were pretty awesome as well. I really am going to be overwhelmed by the feature set of the game. My guess is I'll probably just do some traditional multiplayer rounds after campaign just to try and get a feel for the maps before I start editing them. (With maybe some replay sheninigans on the side.)

It's guys running around with vehicles and stuff.

That's all I got. Holy shit Bungie.

Holy. Shit.
 
WickedLaharl said:
that spartan with the hayabusa look going is lame-o

While I don't like it like I like the CQB, I still think it's cool they have it as an option. Besides, if it will result in more diversification of models online, I'm all for it. (Within reason, of course.)

Edit: And I'm still holding strong to my prediction of 20,000 posts before launch, just as a reminder. :D
 
Just finished watching it twice. HOLY SHIT BUNGIE. Game 3.0 is here. I was having doubts over some gameplay ideas I had, but this vidoc has given me faith that my wildest dreams can come true in Forge.

One small question though: Tyson seems to wear the same shirt on every vidoc he's in.
So I guess he litterally does "do this all the time". :P

I know they'll say it, its just not an argument anymore.

And its funny, a few months ago.. I would of probably said that. But now, dude.. Halo 3 is whole another level. I haven't been this excited to play a game in a good while..

I felt the third person weaponry and equipment in addition to the standard new weapons, new vehicles, new maps, upgraded sound, updated graphics, and tweaked balance that every (good) sequel has had already elevated it to at least Halo 2.75. :P
