Already having the game makes you a bad person to me ;>_dd_ said:

I made a habit the past few days of not looking at the upper right corner of my screen when visiting that site. About an hour ago, I left my guard down while I was thinking about something and saw the spoiler. I am at the point where I feel indifferent to the story now. Even if you haven't been spoiled outright yet, then
you should have been spoiled indirectly in the previous XBL name spoiler warning thread.

I have a packed weekend.
U of Houston versus Colorado State tomorrow, Texans versus Colts Sunday to make Luke cry, and then work Monday. Hopefully Newegg doesn't screw me and I get the LE on Tuesday morning and not Wednesday. If the game has not shipped by Monday evening, I will get the game at midnight and send back my Newegg copy.

Question. Can anyone tell me how the equipment "personal shield" is? How effective it is? How long it lasts? Usefulness? I have not heard anything on it. Only the pic from that famitsu scan back a few months.

Im sure the 20,000th will come before release, but if it doesn't... I will concede my loss to the 20,000th post cause I will be playing Halo 3.
InfectedZero said:
Erm, I don't know the correct terms I should be using but here is a go at it:
They are the sheilds from Halo 1 and 2 that glow blue. You can drop it anywhere and it will pop up. It takes 3-4 melee hits for you to break it down (It also changes colors as you hit it.) Brutes can melee it down in one hit. It blocks shots. You can shoot the spiker through it.It will last forever as long as it doesn't take any damage. You cannot move it once it's placed.

A Magazin from Austria had reviewed Halo 3:
Singleplayer: 90%(9/10)
Multiplayer: 95%(9,5/10)

I killed myself in one way or another when I used a bubble shield every goddamn time.traveler said:

Deployable shields don't run out, I believe, and they're pretty huge. However, they can be blown up.

Is the bubble shield being left as a non moving generator instead of the red ball? not that i'm going to complain but it would be a nice suprise if both were optional for forge deployment.

More for just you I would assume. And probably lasts much longer.traveler said:
Ah, I see. I was hoping it would be like Resistance where you could fire through your own shield, but that works fine as well.
I've been calling 20,000 before launch ever since the beginning of the thread. I still stand by that prediction. (Reviews and the last Weekly Update make it an inevitability at this point.)

In the first multiplayer Vidoc the bubble shield was a power drainer-style ball that was orange, and it was rolling down a slope in one scene.
Just went out and fully paid off Legendary and the guide at Gamestop. Guy said they're getting in all kinds of crazy Halo shit to sell that night, and he was rattling off shit like pins, magnets, belts (!?), wallets, shirts, and on and on. :lol
Also finally picked up the graphic novel and Ghosts of Onyx. Re-read Fall of Reach which only took me like 2 hours since it's such easy reading, and I had to re-pick up a copy of Halo 1 at Best Buy for $10 since my disc has mysteriously disappeared. It's funny, even though the game has very visibly aged, it's still a lot of fun. Will then re-read First Strike (?), then go through Halo 2 for only the 2nd time ever, then read the graphic novel and Ghosts of Onyx, so I'll be all ready to go. I'm such a dork I've completely abandoned any hopes of finishing FFXII before Halo, it'll just have to wait a couple months.

That was the first multiplayer Vidoc from awhile ago, but I do remember that
Oh, on a sidenote, Valhalla has changed a bit... For the better? Who knows.
*Edit*
Snowbound looks the same. There might be some visual differences but barely any or none.
High ground is exactly the same or changed in some miniscule way that I cannot see.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.

Nice. (But it makes my MUNI rides go by so quickly.)
traveler said:
In addition to dudes not being able to simply walk through it -- the personal shield also allows players to fire from inside of it, while repelling fire from the outside. A significant amount of damage will offline the shield, but a short while later it will pop back up again.
At first blush, folks wonder how it's different than the Bubble Shield, but Deployable Cover is vastly different and definitely has its uses.

How has Valhalla Changed?

Look out past the ocean. High Ground now has little islands and trees in the background. In the beta it was just plain land and sea.
Also, what exactly is different about Vahalla?
InfectedZero said:
The Spawnpoints of both teams have been massively lowered. In the beta some of the spawn points were atop ledges to the side of the bases. They are now low to the ground.
Also, you cannot jump out of the map either They've added a bouncy barrier to keep any and all things inside.

Actually, I like it this way much better. I hated those spots. Not to hurt your feelings or anything buddy_dd_ said:The Spawnpoints of both teams have been massively lowered. In the beta some of the spawn points were atop ledges to the side of the bases. They are now low to the ground.

;_; I loved my little base in the mountains. Goodtimes, goodtimes. We would setup camp and toast marshmellows and put tripmines on the rocks below us
DeadCell said:Say what?!
I knew a new season was coming, I just had no idea it was that soon.
Awesome.
The wait has about killed me. The license they have with Cartoon Network / Adult Swim prevents them from showing it on TV until the license has expired.

are you sure the spawn points arent the same outside the base if the other team is camping your base? it always seemed good about spawning your team inside the base at the start of the match, its only if enemies are inside or near the base that you'd spawn further away...
and no more sniper positions in the cliffs alongside each base? awesome. that was my one beef with the map in the beta
HBO has Quicktime versions of the Vidoc up, in H.264 and S3Pro flavors: http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=20111

So I guess you were the guy that always rode the Ghost up the walls in Coagulation to get to those extremely cheap sniper spots?
