Halo 3 show (explain what we’ll be talkin about)
I am guessing you will be able to
show a secondary weapon, even if it doesn’t have ammo. If you are out of
Rockets for your Rocket Launcher, you can still scare your enemies with
it. Likewise, you could be out of shotgun ammo and still scare people
from attacking you short-range if you are sniping.
I’m under the impression that, due to the history of the UNSC re-creating
and improving covenant technology (Master Chief’s shields, and, in the
novel “First Strike”, Cortana’s innovations on the Covenant Ship’s main
weapons), that the Spartan Laser is actually the Sentinal Beam (or less
likely, the Fuel Rod Cannon) that has been tampered by the UNSC. ...spartan laser…
And in regards to the use of the X-button in gameplay… i’ve read some
comments saying that it’ll be for stealing weapons or exchanging weapons,
but i doubt that’ll be true. It’s going to stay as the action button,
otherwise i’ll be spending more time getting used to the layout and it’ll
change the pace of the game, which is something that i’m sure Bungie
doesn’t want to do. But the function replacing reload is a total mystery
to me. ...x button? cover? jetpack?...
The d-pad will probably house the grenade switching, the (supposed)
machinima recording function and the simple lowering/raising gun
animation.
Thanks for allowing me to express my thoughts.
I got so damn excited about Halo 3 after they released that information,
my nipples exploded.
Hey guys it’s Doc, just wanting to give my 2 cents on Halo 3 and all that
surrounding it.
Anyway from what I’ve seen, Halo 3 looks and seems like it will be the
coolest thing since flavored toothpaste. I’m totally jazzed about the
Assault Rifle, ACTUALLY being a rifle now. I’m just hoping it now has a
scope! ...assault rifle…
High Ground will be sick, the snow one will be amazing, and Valhalla will
be off the chain. I think the Spartan laser is going to add a whole new element to the game; Should I try and veer the hog off this ledge and lose them, or
jump out of the hog and get the hell out of dodge? Before with the rockets
you almost always would just ditch the hog and run, or die in a horrific
explosion. BUT NOW, you might actually have a chance since the laser
requires a charge time. I’m kind of imagning it as the Hammer of Dawn in
Gears, minus the satelite linkup requirement. ...maps…
But I’ll stop rambling and end this: Halo 3 is going to be the end of what
little life I have. And you know that it will happen to all of you too, so
don’t even lie! But we’re all in the same boat. So as long as we’re all in
this boat, let’s play some Halo 2 to pass the time until Halo 3! (Or some
Gears since Foomo has a 360 now. haha) Much love guys, and God bless.
I haven’t really read the artical yet but read a lot of it on the web. Im
really excited for the new maps and these energy shields you can walk thru
but not shoot or throw gernades thru. ...shield doors…spike grenades…
Well first of all i’m glad that Bungie has let someone come over play Halo
3 and give the public something to be excited about.
I like all of the features especially about the Brutes totally own weapons
and vehicles, I’m just hoping Bungie will give out some more detailed pics
of of the Brute Spiker, Spike Grenades, and the especially the Brute
Ghost. I’m totally glad that 1up.com verified that the assualt weapon is
going to be the starting weapon, the SMG was to weak for my taste, I
always felt that i had to look for a BR or a good duel. I heard somewhere
they are getting rid of transporters, I’m not sure if it’s true but if
they are are hope the maps have more lifts and man cannons. The only way
the ATV is going to be cool is if the Rocket Launcher can only lock onto
the banshees. Well the sheild doors are going to be awesome. The Spartan
Laser is going to be a cool weapon. What is this about a new flag?? i’m
just wondering what the x-button is going to do, and i really hope you can
make up your own callsigns instead of them being random, it should be a
default decision when you make your characters profile in Halo 3. But ya
I’m really excited and I can’t wait for more news. ...callsigns…brute ghosts…new flag…
Dont forget to mention the Halo 3 public multiplayer BETA that was
announced for spring, and the new Halo 2 maps that will be hitting the
marketplace about the same time. You can find out more information (but
not much) at bungie.net ...halo 3 public beta…
I think it is great that they are releasing a beta multiplayer so they can
make sure everything is perfect. It is cool, but kinda retarded that they
are making news maps for the 360 the same time the beta is coming out,
hmmm…play new halo 2 maps, or play fricken halo 3!!!, and the halo 2
maps will cost money. I hope the “new map” will be Hang ‘em High, fun
level with shotguns. Anyway, later guys.
Hey Podtacular and friends, its Redchannel.
So what do I think about the extra large update? Why I think its
pretty good deal as a matter of fact. I’m really pumped to play the demo
version of the game come spring 2007 and launching people with the “Man
cannon” looking I think that these new announcements will obviously make
people more aware of what’s going on with Halo 3 and how much more
awesome-er it is than Far Cry. By the way, that game sucks. Anyways I
would like to give a shout-out to all the guys up at Podtacular Rec F. I’m
going to finally be able to connect to live again in about a week, so I
would appreciate a welcoming back party. I got a new wireless router and I
am itching to try it out. I think it fixed my lag problem and hopefully I
wont lag really bad like I have been for the past couple months I really
look forward to playing SWAT in its ranked form. ...man cannon…
The MA5C assault rifel is supposed to be upgrade radicaly from the MA5B. I
hear it now has a 32 round clip and a more accuracy over long ranges. the
battle rifl is also going to be in the game, i think. This is a short
email but expect more cuz i have to go
What I would like to know, is about the new banhammer. It was mentioned a
few weeks ago, that the banhammer would be recieving some shiny new teeth,
and yet, I have heard nothing and I’ve actually seen an increase in
cheaters and modders online. I am a marketing major at Bryant University,
I and just also want to say that I am awed by their strategy of releasing
so much data on Halo 3 right before the PS3 and Wii launch. Go XBOX 360!!
Thanks guys, prepare to frag the man cannon!
well, i dont like this..man cannon. I think it soundsa bit..well, something
a ghey marine would have. Also, the concep of it it just legal
superjumping. I think they should just take it out, and have jump for
warthogs and ghosts.
I think the new halo 3 news is awsome. Its really cool how bungie keeps us
updated with what there doing. I dont know what that x button is going to
do, but it sounds kool. Mabe there going to use it like gears of war or
something. I think there should be a setting in halo 3 where you can turn
the scopes off or on. This would be cool because you could have a real no
scopes match.
Hey Guys, I’m really excited about the new information that was given about
Halo 3. When I heard them talk about the new info on the 15th, their 5 year
anniversary, i peed myself. Just kidding. Or am I? Anyways, i was very
excited about everything except that only 360 owners could purchase
something. I am very angry about that because i don’t have a 360 yet.
Before it was probably only me and Foo Mo side by side not having one, but
then he betrayed me and bought one. Just kidding again. To wrap it up, I’m
glad they are giving us info about the game, but I don’ tthink they should
give uss too much.
Why Im worried about Halo 3:
To me Bungie is making Halo 3 a “Fun” Game. The Man Cannon, Spartan Laser,
Mongoose….To be these just sound…”silly?”. I am very competitive. And I
love Major League Gaming. Just the Idea. I spend countless hours playing
Xbox Live playing Competitive Halo 2 , and H3 just seems like its going to
be a game that you can turn on and mess around with.
My Halo: ...mongoose ATV…
I want Halo to be a game based on 8 Person Games, based on Small sized
maps that can handle the Range of a Battle Rifle. In Halo 2 I personally
Dislike any map that isnt: Midship, Lockout, Warlock, Beaver Creek, or
Sanctuary. In the past Three Months I havent played a game that wasn’t on
these maps. I know everybody doesnt want to play super competitive halo
all the time, but this is my wishlist =).
Summary:
I bealive H3 is going to be a game full of big maps, launching cannons,
and silly weaponry. I guess the Best I can hope for is H3 to be a super
competitive, small mapped based game. But hey not everyone wants that.
I really don’t want anything that spoils the real gameplay of Halo 3 either
on the “champain” side or the multiplayer side. The Man-Cannon sounds a
bit of an overhaul to me. Of course, the game needs to be balanced. I
hope there is changing weather in the game, especially the multiplayer
maps. Night time, rain, fog, daylight, etc. It would make people come up
with different strategies.
JVB, when I get my Xbox, I’m going to play team bubble bath with you.
I just wanted to voice my thoughts on all this info.
The Man Cannon: Best…Name…Ever…Period. I am glad that it is a jump
pad instead of an actual cannon. This will make getting across the map a
whole new expirence. Just imagine…flying though the air pulling off the
most spectacular headshots while capturing all of it with the new movie
maker (more on that later).
The Mongoose: Great idea and (thankfully) it looks like a great balence of
speed and manuveriblity, while not having and offence what so ever so it is
not too powerful.
The New Brute Weapons: A fresh addition to the weapons list. The brute
spiker sounds amazingly fun to use. I also hope that the spiker will have
an animation incorperating the twin blades on each. The Spike Grenade is
awesome too. If you have the EGM from this month you can see a spike
grenade detonating on page 100. It is right next to the Warthog. It
looks like it will have great range and could possibly be used as an
artillery of sorts.
The Movie Maker: A great idea. I was wondering how you would be able to
record a clip without slowing down the game. From what i gather in the
EGM it will also record the whole match that you can replay after the game
is over. Maybe you can take 30 seconds of THAT recording and save it. Just a thought.
The mystery of the X button: I think that it will be a sprint option. In
the books it says that the Spartans can run really fast. How ever I could
run faster then those Spartans in Halo 2. A sprint feature would solve
this problem. To balence it you will either have a) a meter that depletes
after like 5 seconds and then recharges like the shield or b) you can run
as long as you want but you cannot shoot (kinda like the ghost boost).
I have a lot more but I don’t want to take up the whole show.
I’m intersted to see how Bungie will balance the attributes of the assault
rifle and battle rifle. I’m curious about how each gun will handle and how
well they will counter one another. Will one be blatantly better that the other, or will they both have
equal strengths and weaknesses?
These are questions that, as far as I know, remain to be answered, and
I’m eager to see how things play out.
I’m so frikin happy they’re going to release a MP demo man. And its only 4
months away!!! Thats really nothing, especially when you go to college.
Anyway, I’ll get a little specific. I’m really loving that they’re putting
out the MP because we then get to test it out and give them feedback, so
when they releasse the final game, it’ll be perfect! No lag, no
flaws…just perfect. That’ll also be good for them working on more net
code to prevent lag. Especially since they’re pushing BTB (By looking at
the screens). I remember BTB in Halo 2 was unplayable. Too much lag.
Anyway, thanx for hearing us out POD. Keep up the good work and Peace in
the Middle east.
Hey I was reading up all the new Halo 3 stuff that bungie and 1up just
announced today, and I noticed that in the screenshot they showed the
assault rifle has some kind of power button looking thing. Now I’m not
going to say that that’s what the button is, but it certainly looks like
a power button. Also this button could have something to do with the new X
button or “activation button.” Just an idea and something that you guys
can discus if you haven’t already. – Hurricane12
The needler has always sucked, but I’m sure since this is likely the last
game the needler will appear in FPS form, that Bungie will do it right or
throw it away. Any weapon can be made usable by making it do more damage,
shoot faster, larger clips, etc…The question is, once they make it good
enough to be useable, will it actually provide something the other weapons
don’t? (besides pink pillars of explosion) If they can’t make it special
and usable, it shouldn’t be in the game.
List of stuff to cover
(stuff we already covered…)
I know this has been covered before but the pelican should e implemented
into Halo 3. In Halo CE, there is a map 2 kilometer map called hugeass
were they have Longswords,pelicans, and jets in the map for defaults
vehicles. In Halo 3 there could be a map of this scale and have large
scale battle with an insane amount of player like 60 or 100. This would
be better than the final battlle in Lord of The rings. Just droping off
your buds and nuking players would be so awseome. One other cool thing
would be to upload your own skin from your computer using windows connect
to use to customize your Character. That would make an endless amount of
customization which would be so awseome.
I think that they should make a bullet cam like if you get a headshot. You
should also be able to put aliens in headlocks and be able to break there
necks or something like that. Also if a alien shoots a wall with a plasma
weapon the wall should melt kinda. That is what I think. Please put me on
the show. Thanks Jake
i think that if you kill a jackle in the missions that you should be able
to pick up thier shield, or in multiplayer they should have shields lying
around. Also I think their should be more interactive objects, like if you
push a button a machine can slam down on someone for a kill.
It would be awesome if there were a crouch roll option like a summersault
cause it’s really annoying when you die an inch from getting behind a
wall and away from unfriendly bullets. With this crouch ‘n roll it would
reduce how big of a target you are and depending on how fast it is it
might save you from an overdose of lead.
I enjoyed ep. 87. Especially hiding the sword under the armor. First thing I would like to mention is the Voice of Master Chief. I did not like his voice in halo 2. I really would like the voice of halo 1 returned in 3. What do you all think? Also I am praying that the x button is a jet pack. I don’t know if you all played Tribes but that game was awesome just because you could fly. Putting the bases up in the clouds, I think, would be amazing. Also tell JVB to do Arnold more often!
okay so we whined and begged bungie to throw in some other spartans into
Halo 2. they promptly said no. why? because there were no more spartans
besides masterchief left. if anyone has read Halo First Strike then they
know only two spartans survived. everyone else was already dead before the
book began or they died during the events of the book. the other spartan
besides masterchief was Kelly, the fast spartan. she was taken by Dr.
Hasley to some unknown place in First Strike. this kidnapping happened
just before masterchief and the 3 remaining spartans – i think it was
three, i havent read the book in a while – attacked the covenant
stronghold called the UNYEILDING HEIROPHANT - sorry i dont know the
correct spelling for that word- , that huge covenant battle station. just
think of it as the death star but no green laser, just thousands of blue
streaks of plasma for weapons. the chief and his crew blew the shit outta
the covenant at the battle station but only masterchief survived that
event. the reason no spartans showed up in Halo 2 was because Kelly was
with Dr. Hasley somewhere and masterchief was on Earth. the only reason i
say this is because bungie said they were following the storyline of the 3
books, Fall of Reach, The flood, and First Strike. if thats so then dont
expect some armour clad women named Kelly knocking your doorstep in Halo
3. the only, and i mean ONLY expection to this is Colonel James Ackerson.
he is the guy who hates the spartans more then anyone. why? because MC can
get a hot date in a sec, and the spartans were more successful then any of
Ackersons projects put together. he, in the books comes up with a back up
plan to the spartans. something to use if the spartan IIs fail. they are
the Spartan IIIs. he used Dr. Hasleys files in order to get info on what
to do to get the spartan 3 program running. note this is all found in Halo
First Strike, im just speculating a bit further. these spartan 3s are
clones and genetically modififed and mutated super-soldiers. think
masterchief on steroids while he is already on steroids. the spartan 3
program is headed by the good old colonel. this i add is all speculation
from my part so dont take it too heavily. so my guess is that only MC will
be in Halo 3. if any spartans do pop in then they are the Spartan 3s which
are either neutral or enemies to masterchief as the Colonel might want all
of the Spartan 2s wiped out. Another thing that could happen is maybe Dr.
Hasley got back from her kidnapping mission early and brought back kelly.
either way halo 3 will be great but this makes you think. since bungie is
following the books more then maybe what im saying isnt half-assed, maybe
it is half-assed. so thats my speculation and if you need conformation i
suggest reading Halo First Strike as this is where im getting the basis
for my speculation.
What i am looking foward to most about Halo3 in comparasion to Halo2 is its
overall complication. A lot of games that are comming out now for the xbox
360 are getting more and more complicated… Gears of War for example. No
longer can you run over extra amo and have it magicaly apear in your
reserves, AI is getting a lot smarter with the 360 engine, grafx are blow
your mind, etc.
What I am looking foward to most in Halo3 is it being much more complex
than its 2 predisesors. Having weapon glitches like BXR and RRX are great,
but when instead are built into the game as alternate ways to gain an
advantage over an opponet in a fight, the game becomes so much more
interesting.
alternate fire, like a grenade lancher at the bottom or the assualt rifle
or something.
They should have the specter with the ability to honk cause it would SO
cool.
A couple suggestions I have for Halo 3 are: one, you should be able to
carry turrets on your shoulder and having one other weapon in your other
hand. Another one is that you should be able to mute players that you
don’t want to listen to in the pre-game lobby.
I’m very glad that Bungie is making, or made new maps for Halo 2. More and
more people are starting to play other 360 games such as Gears of War,
including myself. This is an excellent way to bring people back to Halo 2
before the release of Halo 3 in a years time. I commend Bungie and
Microsoft for still having people interested in a game that came out 2
years ago, more power to them.
Hi guys I just started listening a couple weeks ago and thought i would
write in. In halo 3 i would personally like to see the return of the
Bandit dropship from halo 1, the energy garrote, which is basicly an elite
stealth weapon that is supossed to choke people from behind, and maybe in
multiplayer add the fuel rod cannon ONLY on vallhala but make it more like
the halo pc version where it arcs more and give it the halo 2 scope. that
would suffice as both the covenant rocket launcher and possibly a grenade
launcherish thingy. make the shadow drivable if not in multiplayer then at
least in campaign.the MA5C assault rifel will be awsome because i just love
it on halo pc because it was not powerful but you could hold someone off
with it while your team came to back me up. oh i want a multiplayer map on
Theshold and on instalation 04 and i also want the halo 1 pistol to be
burned,formed into the shape of a halo and have a mini pillar of automn
blow up on it and then melt the remaining peices. keep up whit the good
work and start nailing trucks.

Until next time I’m Foo Mo Jive (and this is)
