You should get acquainted with the rest of the series between Halo Reach and Halo 4 if you can. Each one has their own quirks, something that makes them unique from the rest aside from different campaigns. Personally my favourites are Halo 2 and 3, but forge mode in Halo 4 blows the rest out of the water so I'm often building on there.

Nope. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Silent Alpha

It's always nice to catch up on the latest news from the past week. GG, DD, GG.

That final Elite is actually a glitch. He was supposed to be a Zealot, but ended up being an "Honor Guard Councilor" as he's called on Halo Wikia.

The skyscrapers will come in due time. Considering the amount of flat land I have to work with, I figure that 343i City's population will reach at least 150,000, and there's room for satellite cities as well. I'll probably end up getting a few buildings from Hong Kong (and other cities full of skyscrapers), since there are so many and there's a team on Simtropolis devoted to making them available for use in Simcity 4. But with 343i City, I'm taking my time working on it and making it look presentable. My usual style is utilitarian, and I mainly focus on getting a huge population.

Banned for having a name I can't type on a regular keyboard.

It's unfortunately unavoidable when trying to build anything on hills, since the game flattens every plot of land where construction is underway except for small houses. If I were to bulldoze those mansions, the middle of the lot would be perfectly flat, and the edges would be quite steep. So Moderator Mountain will mostly be untouched except for small pockets of housing here and there, otherwise unsightly cliffs will appear if any large developments are built on too steep of a slope. There is very little room for error when making hillside developments.

Perhaps it's Halsey? She was last seen in-game working with Jul 'Mdama, so she could be exacting her revenge.

No. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Caboose...

Other programs are offered there, and it is a centre for both members and ants that are about a foot long. Admission requirements, however, are a different story. You'd have to ask the dean for more details.

Menagerie of Construction Underway The city has been filled with the sounds of power tools running and cement trucks driving to and fro as construction of new buildings hits an all-time high. "It may be noisy, but it's wonderful... absolutely wonderful. It shows that despite our small size, 343i City has made a name for itself, and people want to move here and join our fantastic community!" Mayor Maestro stated with a laugh. "City council has been busy drafting up plans for new roads and new civic institutions so our city doesn't hit any snags as we grow. We worry about the future now so we don't have to worry about it in the future." The mayor was not willing to disclose his plans in full detail, but he mentioned that a new police precinct will be built within the next year. Among the newly constructed buildings is the city's first college, the Zoolander School for Adults Who Can't Read Good. Its ribbon-cutting ceremony was met with thunderous applause from secondary school graduates at the corner of Jiralhanae Street and Marine Avenue. The dean of the college, aptly named the Director, expressed his gratitude at the ceremony. "I commend the community for the college's warm welcome. Though the city may be small, I predict that this college will become a prosperous university with thousands of students from all corners of the nation. I can envision it now, thousands of students will pin their hopes and dreams on my university... and all of the residents will beg me for admittance!" He said, followed by a hearty cackle. A few mansions have also been constructed, occupying large amounts of real estate. While many newcomers in the community are welcomed with open arms, residents are leery of these mansions. "I don't trust them one bit," Connor Kenway told the 343 Bulletin. "There were a few middle-class houses on the land that those mansions occupy now. If they're willing to bulldoze houses of people poorer than them to plop down their fancy estates, then I say they shouldn't be here." He also noted their secrecy and lack of interaction with the rest of the community. "I peered over the fence one time. I didn't see any lights on or any movement inside. What are they doing in those mansions?" JL remarked on the newly built mansions. "How'd they get that much money, anyways? And who let them pave over the houses that were already there? If you ask me, I think these guys might be crime bosses or mobsters... involved in the mafia somehow. Think about it: they build massive estates and then they're never seen in the light of day. If that isn't suspicious at all, I don't know what is." When asked about the situation, Chief of Police RedStarRocket91 said, "As long as the previous owners of the homes on that land were compensated fairly for their land and given time to move out, the construction of estates that size does not break any laws. Residents will simply have to push their suspicions aside." Residents who have been affected were given first priority to move into the new Oliver Drive neighbourhood, just south of South Shore Boulevard, linking James Avenue and Leonard Avenue.

This sort of thing ALWAYS happens whenever I'm away for extended periods of time. If I'm not at work for a few days, some big changes happen. When I'm not on here for one day, the staff gets shuffled around! What's with that?! Way to go, you two! I knew it'd happen eventually, Eddy! And Cooliest, promo team suits you. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

No way. Silent Alpha!

Go for it. But let's say that this takes place in a larger 343i City from the future. It only has ~300 people in its current state.

nope.avi JXZAW

Oops! That last bit where you said "Can you tell me some tips and tricks with those weapons to get extremely good on Halo 2 and excel in Halo 3?" threw me off. While knowing the core mechanics of Halo 2 will help you in Halo 3, there are some differences that can make some Halo 2 tips moot. While dual-wielding Needlers in Halo 2 is very powerful, you can't dual-wield them in Halo 3. Plus, online support for playing Halo 2 is practically nonexistent.

The problem with Forerunner vehicles is that most Forerunner tech encountered are machines... sentient vehicles. It would be like trying to pilot an Enforcer. You can hop on top of it, but unless you hack into the system that operates it, you won't be able to pilot the darn thing.

The best way to improve your skill in Halo 3 is to play it and get acquainted with the newer mechanics. The weapon physics change from game to game, so the Battle Rifle, SMG, and Shotgun behave differently in Halo 3 than in Halo 2. The Battle Rifle's rounds do not hit their target instantly, so you have to lead your shots slightly. It's still a force to be reckoned with and inflicts the same damage, but now a bit more tact is required to use it efficiently. Although I never used the SMG, it's more dangerous in Halo 3. Its accuracy, range, damage, and rate of fire are greater than Halo 2. There's also a delay before your crosshair starts to climb up. The Shotgun is a powerhouse in Halo 3. Its range is much greater, capable of killing targets 2-3x the range of Halo 2's Shotgun. However, it also has a decreased ammo capacity, with 30 spare shells and only 6 per magazine.

Nope. By the way, you might want to check the post above yours... JXZAW

Afraid not, Herr Direktorätor. Caboose the Ace!

To be blunt: nope. Unfortunately none of us actually work at 343 Industries. What you have found is a (fantastic) fanmade community, not the official 343 website. Go to Halo Waypoint, 343's official website, and try to get in touch with BS Angel. She will have the answers in which you seek. But that bit aside, I do hope you stick around here once your level issue has been resolved. We always welcome newcomers with open arms, and there's lots of fun to be had.

To quote the Mythbusters: "When in doubt, C4."
