Halo 3

Not really. From my experience every weapon hits when it's supposed to hit, but the sword has been raped. Kind of figures since Bungie has a tendency to violate weapons that were overpowered in previous games(Halo CE's pistol & shotty, Halo 2's sword)

well he said the sword hits but the strike doesnt connect.. I'd only imagine networking to be at fault there.. aside from collision detection

so what is with the different models?.. some are 80% visor's and others look very metroid ish..

also I recall the developer stating that the needler is single wield only and is much more powerful, yet this article states that its crap unless you dual wield it?... 😕

Enjoy.

More customization options. Frankly I like the idea since...ugh in the beta the customization options were pretty much the same as Halo 2. The Boba Fett helmet is my personal favorite.

Brain fart to the max. The Needler is not dual wieldable, so they just ****ed up in there.

I like the new equipment called Jammer with it's ability to mess with motion sensors.

The new brute chopper looks sweet.

wow nice.. 😄 thx for the article

No problem-a.

*Now runs back to Crackdown's Halo 3 beta like a crack addict*

Oh yeah I almost forgot:

Oh...my...god... 😱

Thank you so much! That was great! Those kind of look like Spartan 3 armor...naybody? More evidence to my conspiracy theory!

my guess is that (if we were to throw lore into it)... the armors are made to suit different jobs on the battlefield... more visor - more sight radius (maybe for scouting, sniping).. the 2nd looks more heavy than the standard spartan2 armor.. so I'm guessing its like a 'demolitions / close quarters' type.. and so forth... it would be interesting if they put that into the game's programming.. but who knows what that would end up doing.. /shrug

I think they might just be cosmetic options, but who knows with the vast ammount of customization this game will have.

On a sidenote the Beta is now officially over. Played it nonstop until I couldn't join matchmaking anymore, and then I made a custom game to keep playing...but it is now...gone.

*Tears*

its stated that oen is better for vehiclkes and one is better for close quater battles. The armour names are

MJOLNIR
Cobra
Regulator
Intruder
Ninja

Took from the halo 3 beta code

How would they nake one better than the other though?

they could have the vehicle oriented suit cause the vehicle to have much better handling.. or prevent fish-tailing

close quarters battle suit could offer more shielding than normal.. or perhaps instead, a higher damaging melee strike

I guess. I would definately use the close quarters armor, I use vehicles rarely.

I am telling you people, more Spartans in Halo 3 campaign! I have so much proof! Here is more from this weeks update on bungie.net:

All of the permutations included have a backstory and a function, and more importantly, a role in the Spartan program. Folks have already made obvious comparisons with the Spartan III armor featured in Eric Nylund’s excellent Ghosts of Onyx. We’re not confirming whether or not that’s on the money right now, but suffice it to say that the Spartan program and the Mjolnir armor project produced some very interesting combat materials. But you’ll see them yourself, soon enough.

Yeah I read that update.

Definately worth the read.
