Apparently something happens on isolation if you wait around for a while. Any speculation as to what? Something about the sky?

Seeing as there's something faint in of the the screens, I'm guessing its some kind of effect that occurs in the sky. Just please, no more crap like those Terminal trains.
 
Isolation looks great.

I have a feeling that map is going to be nothing but grenade spamming, though. Especially in the underground portion.

Frank, show yourself!

Can it be true, or do my eyes deceive me? Mark V? :D

I've been bringing this up for WEEKS. I thought it would be the coolest unlockable armor (along with the armor from Marathon). Now...I think my prayers have FINALLY been answered. But imagine the requirements for getting that armor....
 
i like it, except it looks too open on the top, like snowbound, which makes for stale combat imo

i want to throw crates and stuff around on the top in forge so much

Anybody listen to Major's show with Geoff Keighly this weekend:

"We haven't talked about downloadable content. But I think, you know, Halo 3... the rumors I'm hearing... is that, you know, the game's going to come out and we're going to start seeing downloadable content a lot sooner than we think." - Geoff

yup exactly how i feel. and by the looks of it, like snowbound, it'll force people to camp the tunnels because theres little cover above.

It might not have many grenades spawning on that map then to discourage that.

Hay guys

I see architecture just peaking above the walls that appears to be the same style as what was surrounding the earth in the E3 07 video. Kinda Japanese-ish.

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier.

WTF is it?
 
I hate not being able to use the internet when I watch cable TV. I just missed lots of talk and map release stuff and AH!

Need 'nutta line.

Are those Flood specimens on the bottom left??
Click to expand...

There was a fake Halo 3 script out a long time ago that suggested the flood were allowed to live in controlled situations so they could be tested on. Seeing how this map is called isolation, the walls appear to be electric and unscalable, this might suggest this explaination in the final game

As did I.

I thought it likely that Mark V would be the toughest to obtain. I forget the source from where there was recently mention of a particularly difficult permutation to unlock, but the first thing I thought of was said armour.

The structure appeared to be in orbit in the E3 2007 trailer. Or was I going crazy?
Click to expand...

Yeah, you aren't crazy.. that is what I was suggesting as well. It looks to be the same thing. Maybe instead of a halo that appears in the sky, the ark looks more like a big vagina of win.
 
Lots of new perms in these screens, and the level looks awesome, but I already knew that from the video, I just hope the random thing that happens doesn't make the level a gimmick or something.

IGN sucks at capping screens, ugh.

My hate for you +2.

Spoilers and contradictory words-- no good.

Lose.
 
It was recycled footage and two snippets (literally a second each) of Sandtrap, Beta maps and Campaign footage from the E3 2007 trailer.

10,000 Wins in a row I bet. :( I wonder how close I am....

I'm glad someone else has thought about these pieces of armor. You and I need to make sure we get the truth about them. Confirmation from Frankie or Luke!

One of the requirements to get the armor is to be on Frankie's friends list.



In unrelated news, plastic surgeon's business quadrupled coinciding with the Halo 3 video game release.

i don't know why they're making every map so open and flat.. imo the best maps in halo are compact, intertwined, and multi-tiered, like priz, damnation, lockout & midship. the game becomes competitive when players can use the geometry to their advantage to get an edge; all the odd-shaped geometry on middy gives players a plethora of options in a fight, whereas a map like this is just "bam bam bam bam 4shot you're dead" on an open plane.

mlg has alot of forging to do if they want h3 to be as intense competitively as h2.
 
The new snippets (that is the word we're using now?) are just teams moving the flag in an attempt to score. I also thought I caught a glimpse of Isolation.

Damn this hype train.
