Cool, the footage of the Storm was the first I've seen on video (apart from the E3 trailer) and among the most impressive, even if not all that much happens and you can barely hear any sound.

And here's a little detail that I really like and I guess it is a spoiler for anyone refusing to watch the video:

You can destroy those Prophet projectors/recordings

So Buttonbasher isn't Jason?
I don't think so. He was the spearhead of the Iris thread in the last few months. I don't think a Bungie employee would be trying to win stuff from his own company.

Dude, Free stuff makes people do weird things.

I'd do weird things for free stuff.

Weird things.

It is all part of his clever ploy to make us think he is not Jason Jones.

Ok, I'm bored, who's up for some halo 2?


[spiler]Maybe it will work today...[/spoiler]
I'm up for a GAF game. Last time (long time ago) was a blast with icedragon7 and others. Rockets + Shotguns on Lockout was hilarious and awesome.
 
If this new footage is going to show during the game it has to show during half time. They'll want to jump into 60 minutes at the end of the last quarter.
 
I don't know of any new footage due today fellas.

I may be wrong, shit's all crazy, but I was unaware of anything new.

it makes me wonder how long this preview actually is because if they show it at the half, they still need to recap the other games, and they can't add more time to half time for the preview.

but i guess we'll find out.

I have a feeling they are just going to reshow the E3 footage. Especially if they are using that footage in the preview of the preview.

Again, I don't know for sure. We have a lot of irons in the fire.

Cat Helmet has been paid off, the wait has become 10x more agonizing.
Reminds me.

If the size of the helmet is true, my friends and I will try to put the helmets some dogs. Maybe make an epic spartan fight. Expect pics and video.
 
Map list looks alright to me. Only
3
that we don't know anything about, but oh well. I've only even played that number so there will be enough newness for me.

I really can't believe it's only 8 days or so away. I mean... we've waited almost three years for this. It's so close.

So when then? I really want to see more clips of the campaign.

Don't spoil your appetite young man!

Also frankie, do you have time to answer the last PM I send you? I'm a bit curious about it :)

8 days 07 hours.

1. Use less mobile objects.
2. They're respawning eventually - but you do have to be careful where you place things in the first instance. Keep experimenting. there are cool benefits to that phenomenon too...
3. Oooh! Tease!
 
I've seen the 90-second diorama and campaign footage that came from the E3 trailer earlier in the CBS telecast of the Bills/Steelers game.

But what's less mobile than the big crates? I also tried using the road barriers, and while they were a little bit better, they're not quite as big and, uhm, blocky as the crates...

What objects exactly did you guys using when creating that special, entrapped High Ground?

You can use one to block the other.

Experiment!!!

We used vehicles and crates and roadblocks.
 
Just a quick question about the ads. There's the short museum one, there's the 60sec Diorama and a 90 sec Diorama one. Are these the only ones? Are they all showing?

Vehicles, eh? Now why didn't I think of that.

And it's not really that easy to experiment when you don't have the game. But as soon as Microsoft Denmark sends it, I'll be sure to spend 90% of my time devoted to experimenting in forge...

I'll spray the maps with cats and awesomeness...

Just read on the GameInformer forums that someone bought a copy at Best Buy. Anyone willing to confirm that they are selling it?

LOL. If he did than it was a freak occurrence. Don't expect to walk into your Best Buy and walk out with Halo 3 my friend. It just isn't going to happen until the 25th.

Oddly enough,
that's one less map than the Beta code revealed. I'd assume Gym Class/Warthog Inc is The Pit, Chill is Narrows, Isolation is Isolation, and Construct is, well, Construct. That leaves Cyberdyne, which, mysteriously, is no where to be found....

But yeah, I think
11
is a good number.
