  1. its a bit of fun. id settle for active camo that actually makes you invisible and doesnt scramble the radar`
  2. pulled this off of Halowiki interesting could it be the precursors we face? any info from Halo wiki Not much is known about them, but information that can be found by text from the logs stored in the Terminals around the Ark indicates it is possible that the Forerunner 'Mantle' (Guardians of the Galaxy and all life) was handed down from "legends of the past": the Precursors. It has been presumed that the Precursors viewed the Forerunners as their own legacy, continuing their work after they departed, much in the same way Forerunner lifeworkers (including the greatest lifeworker: the Librarian) viewed Humanity before the activation of the rings. Having obtained the status of Tier-0, it is likely that the Precursors can travel between galaxies. Precursors are described as "very large", with 4 upper limbs and 2 legs. Also having an "ugly head shaped like arthropods" - like spiders or crabs - they have oval, faceted slanted eyes and a "flat face". Coming from the back of the head is a long tail with a 2 meter barb coming out of it. Whether this is the way all Precursors look has yet to be revealed, but this is the way the prisoner on a Pre-Human world is described. It is also revealed that this prisoner is the last known Precursor, and that every other Precursor had been ruthlessly killed in a Forerunner-Precursor war almost 150,000 years before the events of Halo and that their answer is at hand - implying that a Proto-Flood form (described as a fine dust, contained in hundreds of glass cylinders) were created as revenge or as a failsafe. "We meet again, young one. I am the last of those that gave you breath and shape and form, millions of years ago. I am the last of those your kind rose up against and ruthlessly destroyed. I am the last Precursor. And our answer is at hand." While this is official canon, as the book was written with assistance from 343 industries and Bungie Studios, it would seem to contradict the account of events as described by the Terminals from Halo 3. For in Halo: Cryptum it is discovered that the Didact spoke with this last Precursor. Yet in the Terminals the Didact is answering the Librarian saying that the mantle has not failed them (he is referencing the Forerunners, his own species). He further says that "We can halt this thing!" (Note that he is referring to the flood) "And follow in Their footsteps." Since he is talking about the forerunners inheriting the mantle from the Precursors, and following in their footsteps in that manner, it would conflict with the canon in the book. Therefore it may be inferred that the Flood were created as a failsafe, but slipped beyond Precursor control. It is also important to note that the humans have been identified as the descendants of the Precursors in Halo: Contact Harvest, meaning that the surviving Forerunners could have recognized this, referring to the early humans (who had managed to defeat the Flood with their San 'Shyuum allies) as if they were Precursors. Original Link in halo wiki thoughts?
  3. Found this video on youtube it features bungies bag o swag that was on sale during bungie week. I know they were pretty hard to come by, video is below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrm2dGepf-E Did anyone here get one? was yours the same?
  4. true could i suppose put game, mm on 1 disk, and have forge on another. Hopefully the online experience goes server based to cut out the lag, also forge still needs a limit or some of the maps are just gonna be cluttered with too many objects on screen at 1 time, look at firefight when the bonus round starts, on Swordbase it near enough judders to a halt.
  5. interesting that the guys commentating are dissecting the video piece by piece, and that they also come ot the same conclusions that most of the Halo population seems to be coming to, so we are either all right, or 343 have something new and exciting up there sleeves
  6. tell me you didnt just make it up?
  7. 3 discs really? i would be absolutely staggered if its more than 1.
  8. thats what I am worried about, I preordered Bulletstorm and it came 2 weeks after it was released, by the time i got it everyone had played it got bored of it and moved on...
  9. only time i pick armor lock is for invasion breakpoint, as most people turn into ghost whores, and boy does AL come in handy then I just wish invasion breakpoint showed up more often
  10. more options on skins for forge, it so needs this its scary, the 1 thiing i dont like about forge maps is the same background, is it that hard to put in say snow landscape?
  11. fire bullets like it, or a armor ability that gives your shots the same power as a banshees bomb, but you can only use it from a certain distance. silly I know
  12. that would be good, I actually like that idea. And to the person above who mentioned the 3000cR jackpot, I think something was up with the reach servers, as the other day I got it in 12 games on the trot, yep 12
  13. this was how I used to force my spartan to update, surprised there are still issues with it now, not trying to rub it in, but if I change my spartan now, it updates on b.net within minutes
  14. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAFNynOMQZw Quite interesting to listen to them, seems everyone is thinking the same thing.
  15. you wake up in casualty, forgetting fall damage is turned back on, when jumping out of your bedroom window
  16. it is sad, and quite a shock, even more shocking was the fact it was front page news. Displaying a picture of the lad and the halo reach cover art.
  17. funny isnt it, like the way the jackal lets him t=bag then walks off quality
  18. Greetings 343, finally got round to a intro hey? lol Enjoy the forum.
  19. ive not read that one, will have to check it out
  20. i still think the forerunners will return maybe in Halo 5, and I still think that it will turn out that the Flood were created by them. but who knows, we eagerly await more info.
