Three Weapon Carrying
In the picture where it shows a purple spartan on a warthog in halo 3, it shows that it has its assault rifle on its back while firing a mounted machine gun, and appears in the picture where a purple spartan is jumping on a ghost, does this mean that you could now carry three weapons at a time, instead of the usual two?.


 * In Halo 2 you could hold three weapons at once, two dual-wielded and one in reserve. When you board a turret, you drop the gun in your left hand, so when you get off you must pick it up again. I cannot see why your example could change the situation. --Dragonclaws 22:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I meant that, you could be holding one weapon (or a dualwealding weapon) switch the anouther weapon and switch to another weapon that is not the same as the first, because in the photos it shows a spartan with a gun strap on his back with an assault rifle on it.
 * Are you talking about having three weapons on you and being able to cycle between them all like that PoA glitch? I wouldn't think you would be able to do that, given the nature of the games so far. I think the one on his back just announces to every other player what he's carrying, also so it would be more realistic than a weapon just appearing out of nowhere when he switches them. --Dragonclaws 19:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that using the new controls, you could have the two dual-wielded weapons, acting as one... on your legs, while your third two-hand weapon would be on your back. Anyways, this is all moot since now that we can only carry six grenades H3's not gonna be any fun ; ) --Ryanman

I agree, I dont think we will be seeing three weapons, the added secondary weapon visibility was designed for more realism, why would they spoil it with three weapons?

It looks like lighter dual wielded weapons go on the side of the leg, heaver weapons go across the back.

Hey Dragonclaws you misspelled another, sorry my Mom's made me a spelling and grammer freak. She's made it where I correct everybody's mistakes, you accidentally put anouther. Sorry I'm a spelling freak, just telling you.--prophit of war 14:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, typos happen. I don't bother with checking as much when I'm chatting here, as opposed to writing. --Dragonclaws 20:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh but wait... were there not two spelling errors in the accusation? Check the word "grammar" and "another" lol. --Ryanman

Actually, as seen in the Halo Graphic Novel, some larger weapons go in the front like the Sniper Rifle. I saw it straped across the front of the Sparten testing the mjolnir armor. But the light weapon thing is right, it's in the same place Robocop puts his pistol just with a different type of super soldier.--prophit of war 14:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The sniper rifle is carried on your back, as seen in the Spikers picture on the article page. And carrying other heavy weapons in front such as the rocket launcher or fuel rod is just dum. --EliteDeath 21:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

And having heavier weapons on your back would not make sense. It would get in the way. --EliteDeath 14:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the three weapon weilding is only for graphic use. Like in Gears of War, you can weild four weapons, one or two of which you can see on your back. Your not going to be able to see that weapon except in cinematic scenes but it will be on your back, unlike Halo 2 and Halo where you pull it out of nowhere. That's all that it's about, at least I'm pretty sure. MaulYoda

Wolverine Vehicle?
I just read an article on bungie.net about some of the Halo 3 screenshots. It gives a lot of detail about the how some of the maps look right now. It mentions fusion coils, Covenant batteries, automated turrets, shield door and a whole bunch of other neat things. It's pretty cool. I would suggest checking it out
 * I heard of vehicle wolverine
 * I should check it out. A vehicle called a wolverine would be awsome. --EliteDeath 16:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * it would --RimFire 20:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I have a picture. Check it out.--Spartan-007 14:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I have seen that vehicle before Halo 2 came out for sale. It was created by a fan of Halo: CE. He even made a video of his own. He created a lot of other vehicles of his own too. But apparently i have no way to prove it.--User:Radzon
 * It's at this link. --Dragonclaws 22:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Wolverine??? Vehicle??? Too much X-men??? Um. It does not mention anything about X-men in this Bungie article we speak of. But Covenant batteries? Does that mean reloadable plasma weapons?? Automated turrets? In multiplayer?? Fusion coils? Kaboom?? Shield door? Sounds like things can be added to this Halo 3 article. -- MC 19:28, 28 December 2006

It's called concept art. It's not real. MaulYoda

and its awsome  RimFire  the rebel anarchist

someone with halo ce should put this in a map - яÏΜFÏяΣ  the rebelious anarchist Terminus  21:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I saw this over a year ago, lol --Climax Viod 20:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

yeah know that i think of it i did too lol. - Relentless Persecution (talk) | |undefined | undefined(contribs) 20:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC) PS its still awsome.

It seems like a pity that it only appeared once in Halo 2 in only one level. Radzon 07:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I wish we could drive it...  SPARTAN-091   HelmetComm undefined Juliet 

You can, actually. Well, at least the turret. MaulYoda

someone should put this in a halo ce map it would b AWSOME!!!! - яÏΜFÏяΣ  the rebel anarchist

brute is a playable character in Halo 3

 * You can play as a brute. -- User:Evillevi 03:24 27 December 2006
 * You can? Where does it say that? -- Esemono 04:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You can't, because it is written that you can't in the confirmed facts list.Are you joking?--Spartan-007 07:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Bungie VERY firmly stated that there was definetely no chance that you could play as brutes (their official reason was that 'you would be depleting so much of your ammo to kill them' or something close to that). -- Dockman 17:35, 27 December 2006 (edit)

The fact is, Brutes in Halo 3 will be significantly more exciting, clever, graphically impressive, terrifying, numerous and angrier than in Halo 2, but they won't be playable, especially since you, in the role of Master Chief, will be spending a significant amount of effort and ammunition reducing their population. -- Bungie Weekly Update Posted by Frankie  at 12/15/2006 10:47 AM PST
 * It appears the rumor started in Belgium but was disfuted by Frankie above -- Esemono 03:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Why can't we be Brutes in Multiplayer mode. Like In halo 2 where you choose whether to be a spartan or a elite. That would be a nice touch. --Spartan 1 1 7 22:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Bungie just decided not to do that this time around. Maybe the only reason they let us play as Elites is because eventually they sided with us, and there's almost no way the Brutes are going to do that. Also, they're just so much physically different, it would either make the Brutes look weak in multiplayer, or whoever chose to look like a Brute would have an unfair advantage.  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  22:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's just multiplayer mode. It doesn't mean it has to go by the storyline. Plus you can't be invisible in multiplayer mode if your a elite. Not even for a little while like the Arbiter.--Spartan 1 1 7 23:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but not being invisible is something really tiny; making a Brute as weak as a Spartan or Elite would be a lot more significant, and it at least has to go by the definition of a Brute. Anyway, they don't even have energy sheilds, which is also a lot different.  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  23:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OHHH YEAH...., Im sorry I forgot they didn't have any sheilds. You make a good arguer. PROPS.--Spartan 1 1 7 23:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But you're pretty good too; you just don't back down until someone's proven wrong. =D PROPS. Also, in a threaded discussion like this, you see the colons at the beginning of each statement when you're editting? To your last edit, I added five colons, or five tabs when viewing it, so mine has six colons (right before "thanks") or six tabs, so you can see it's a reply to your post. Sorry if that's a little hard to understand...  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  00:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

right........... anyway playing as a brute would b kinda dum bcuz of the dofferences between them and the rest of... everyone else. i think it would b cool to play as a grunt, though - яÏΜFÏяΣ  the rebel anarchist

Halo 3 Release date
Hi there are many speculations about the release date of the game, but today i went into the website of wikipedia and notice that in the section of halo 3 of release info says that "On PLAY.COM a release date of 27/04/2007 has been specified" for the game. I went into the web page and it is true. What do you guys think???? Sebias 2 03:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * ??? Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ][[Image:H3 Monitor.PNG|25px]] 03:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It sounds cool but im a little scepticle, I would think that it would take more time to "polish" the game and make it shine so to speak. Anyway, if its true than i need to hurry and get more money to buy it. lol. --Omrifere 04:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Shortly after i red the article in the wikipedia site of halo 3, and I posted in here someone ereased it from the wikipedia halo 3 info seccion. Sebias 2 04:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

There has been no official word from bungie, therefore I'm pretty sure that this on play.com website is just using speculation, and a lot of hopefulness. --Dockman 17:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I heard from a few different sources that it will be released November 2007. However, one told me that it will be released January 2008. So I think it's safe to bet that it will be released sometime holiday 2007. April seems to early.

I dont think is coming in 2008, is dumb. The thriler and al the videos said "Finish the fight 2007" why should they released the until 2008 the idea would be stupid not only because of the word "finish the fight", but because of all the products and marketing that advertise that the game will come out 2007. It will be a waist of time and money (Alot of money) to say it is released in 2007 and then it come out in 2008. Sebias 2 04:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The Beta Test
Hi, this is fresh microsoft has officialy anounced 2 ways to get the BETA test of halo 3 which are buying "crackdown" (the upcoming game which has the keys for the xbox live test) and to sign up into the officil website http://www.halo3.com. Shouldnt we put this into the article page. Sebias 2 22:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank god I have a 360. I hope I can get that game. MaulYoda


 * Hi I just read this in the internet: http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=39660&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0, which explains what do  you need to do to participate in the halo 3 beta test. Is about playing at least 3 hours of halo 2 between Feb. 1, 2007 and Feb. 3, 2007. You need to be among the first 13,333 players that registered the last november of 2006 in the 50 states of the USA, be 17 years old and own a 360 with hard drive. So i hope many of you had tried this because I did and I registered las november so I hope to get a piece of that halo 3 beta. So !!F.....g!! exited!!! Sebias 2 21:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Helmet?
At the trailer Starry Night, Master Chief's helmet was detached from his head, it seems odd when he was fighting! --Master Chief Petty Officer 05:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

apparently, the blast of the wraith mortar that knocked him off the mongoose in the first place knocked off his helmet. it is wierd, though.--User:RimFire 21:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with RimFire. The helmets are supposed to be securely attached which is why Spartans can fight in space. If it could be blown off, then it wouldn't be effective. However, I'm sure Bungie added it in the trailer for drama. --CrzyAznSprtn 21:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

yeah probably. -User:RimFire

Brutes
I think Halo 3 Brutes have energy sheilds. In the halo 3 footage when a brute gets shot it looks like a elite geting shot

Please sign after you post something in the talk pages. Anyway, it is a possibility Brutes can ahve shields. In Halo 2 level "Gravemind" after the Chief is teleported onto High Charity, Cortana says "Brutes! They don't have shield generators!" I think implying they can have shields. Also, Tarturas had one, a particularly strong one. The Brutes have new armor in Halo 3 too, so maybe they gotten shield upgrades?

P.S. WHy is everyone suddenly typing in red font?--CrzyAznSprtn 19:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * User:Rimfire's signature had some open tags so that whenever he signed his edits all text after the signature would be red and really small. -- Esemono 22:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

yeah i was just about to ask if everyone was seein this or it was just me going crazy. and i dont think the brutes have energy sheild generators cuz in the brute halo 3 video bungi said that they just had steel armor hesld together with leather straps or somethin like that. however i do think it is possible for the brutes to carry sheild generators, which then they would hav sheilds. but i guess we'll hav to just wait and see. User:RimFire 20:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Put this straight, at the trailer Starry Night, after Master Chief envaded the blast, he charged forwards to a hord of Brutes, now if he knows that Brutes have energy shields, it must be suicide than!--Master Chief Petty Officer 13:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Curious Thought
There is an Elite seen in slaying a Brute with dual energy sword, does it seems possible it might be the Arbiter?--Master Chief Petty Officer 13:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

What are you refering to? A scene in a trailer or what? --CrzyAznSprtn 14:04, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Obviusly its in the documentery 'Et tu, Brute?' or I wouldn't have ask this question!--Master Chief Petty Officer 10:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
