info of the needler not being dual-wieldable
Oh, who put the info of the needler not being dual-wieldable? Where did you get that info? --Indel 04:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

In the Halo 3 edition of EGM it states that the Needler won't be dual-wieldable and more powerful --121.73.18.212

cool. --EliteDeath 14:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thats stupid, the Needler is really small, it wouldn't make sense not to dual wield it.--JohnSpartan117 15:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Well cannot argue with the creators.--Radzon 01:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Cortana's Message During Trailer
In the trailer, Cortana makes a reference to the first one of the 'Cortana Letters' released in 1998. This one letter has been referred to as 'canon' by multiple sources, including this site that said that bungie has said these letters are canon when used in current halo material. So, in reading this letter, she makes a reference to the Eliot, who in research is found to be T.S. Eliot. "Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends."

In the poem Eliot states: "This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper." When cortana says that he is wrong, and THIS is how the world ends, shes saying it does not end with a whimper, but indeed with a BANG. This 'bang' could be a million different things, but I have three ideas.

1) Instead of say, whimperring as the world ends, humanity fights back and hard. With such vigor, as seen in Ghosts of Onyx by the remaining spartans: Fred, Will, and Kelly. I'm not saying this means the humans somehow make a comeback and defeat this covenant force in Halo 3, but I am saying that we give them hell before they win.

2) The 'Ark', in a plot twist let-downer, destroys all sentient life in the universe in one big light show, activating the Halo rings. This would be a crappy ending, but damn, it makes sense. That would be one hell of a bang to out with though.

3) Finally, and my greatest hope, is that the Forerunner make an return in Halo 3. This bang that is said, could be that the Forerunner return, see the mess we've made and start to fight either human-elite/grunt/hunter (A 'temporary alliance forged by the the Arbiter and Sargeant Avery Johnson on Instillation 05.) or the covenant in quite a 'Bang'. Given the techonological prowess of the Covenant over humanity who copied the Forerunner, the original Forerunner's weaponry and technology would far shadow both humanity and the Covenant. But working together, thats a whole different story. If the covenant and humanity worked together, I could see them standing some chance.

I only believe this because on Halo instillation 04 Guilty Spark makes a reference to Master Chief's Mark V Mjolnir armor saying its a level 2 battle armor and he should uprade to level 12 for combatting the infestation. Since master chief does such an efficient job fighting the flood with his armor (If you played right)I can only imagine that a level 12 armor would be insanely more powerful than Mjolnir. It would make a great plot twist if the Master Chief had to do battle with a superior enemy in this armor, as sort of the game's boss.

The only field of technology that humanity and the Forerunner are even slightly close, is Artificial Intelligence. But Guilty Spark makes it clear multiple times that he could outwit Cortana with his hypothetical 'eyes closed'. That was kind of a fact that could be done without, but hey, this is my rant. :)

So yea, I vote for #3. That's definately where the money is at. #1 would be fun to see, in movie form, but not in a game as much as #3 would be. #2... If #2 happens I will have to boycott bungie and Halo for at least a month. Cause that would be rediculous, and I think you'll agree.

Hey, does anyone else think the images of Cortana were in the Cheifs memories, because it looked like he missed her. Remember at the end of Halo two he looked sad to let her go, I could tell even know he had his helmet on.--prophit of war 14:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC) I think level 12 battle armor is just a automated hunter with a sentinel beam.

Fanart vehicles
Hay, does anyone have any fan art for the brute ghost?

I'm with you dude, and what about any others? If someone knows others, because I know what the Mongoose looks like.--prophit of war 14:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a brute ghost in the halo ce level Extinction thats as close as you will probably get. Its just a red ghost with brute plasma. --EliteDeath 16:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

yes i have that map. --RimFire 20:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Release Date
Halo 3s release date has yet to be confirmed by Bungie, only "when its ready" has been said. There has been allot of speculation as to the date of its release. Some say that bungie will release on the 7/7/07 due to Bungies obsession with the number 7 while Best Buy claims it will release on 11/15/2007. A countdown timer until Halo 3s release can be found at h3countdown.co.nr

They said they'll release it when the PS3 comes out and it did so hopefully soon.--Ryanngreenday 14:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Halo 3 isnt suppose 2 come out till a year from now sorry to spoil your hopes ryangreenday.
 * Oh, well you see, Bill Gates was pushing Bungie to relase it on the same day, but then all of a sudden, PS3 was anounced to be released earlier than people were expecting (After having it be pushed SO much, people assumed it would just like never come), so Bungie said that it'll be released when it's ready. --MastaCheez 23:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Replace Images
Well with Bungie having now released Uber High Quality Images on theirsite, I think we should replace the scans that are in all the Halo 3 related pages and replace them with the SUPER UBER HIGH QUALITY images. And some of those creens need to be included in THIS page. --MastaCheez 23:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. It's silly to have a Spartan look like that, even disgraceful. I take offense.

Please forgive him, he gets kind of ancy sometimes.

Boxart
It may not be the final one, but it must be the concept box art. This box is already seen in stores. Also why arent the three versions of Halo 3 mentioned? Regular, Collectors edition and Legendary? http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/200240bm.jpg --JohnSpartan117 08:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I had that up before (Image:Halo 3.jpg), but it was removed at some point. And they are mentioned in the list. I really think the article should be cleaned up, though. --Dragonclaws 10:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

What about this image? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Halo3finallogo.gif/255px-Halo3finallogo.gif This one is official it was released on the website.--JohnSpartan117 15:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

View
Will Halo 3 be a third person shooter instead of a first person shooter?

I highly doubt it. If halo 1 & 2 were first-person except for vehicles theres a pretty good chance that halo 3 will be first person. (no sarcasm intended) --EliteDeath 14:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

y would halo 3 be a third person... --RimFire 20:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I hope they make the passenger seat of the warthog first person again cuz in Halo 2 the 3rd person thing was kinda dumb. (No offense Bungie, the game is still the best of all others)

YEah I hated how you couldnt zoom in with the sniper in the passenger seat anymore.--User:JohnSpartan117 23:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Starry Night
Maybe that 1 of those kids was the chief on Eridanus.I think colonel Robert Watts is the MCs dad also.


 * I think that the boy is the mc as a kid and the girl is cortana before she died from complications. Because ai like cortana were made from human brains from the people in the Spartan II program who died. And since they are both wearing black jumpsuits there is a good chance they are both in the Spartan II program.

Yeah but Cortana was created using a clone of Dr. Catherine Halsey's brain so thats impossible.user:shubi.s
 * It would make sense that this is true because the mc is having a flashback anfter the raith mortar flips his mongoose and he gets knocked out.


 * Anyways its just speculation. --EliteDeath 14:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Forerunner Structure
Bungie has said that the Forerunner structure on Earth should be familiar to gamers. I have reason to believe that the structure before the Master Chief isn't The Ark, but in fact, a Library.--74.37.149.112 20:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What about the story boards that state that the artifact under New Mombassa is the arc? -- Esemono 01:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I have two theories about the structure

Admiral Sozai
 * It is one of the circles on the outside part of a halo
 * or it is neither the ark, nor part of a halo ring, but it is some kind of weapon controlled by the ark, this could be the reason why the covenant ships were running away from the light

Uploading an Image
I really need some advice on how to upload picture so I can point out the characteristic that the assault carrier has that match a flagship.
 * For Help Uploading an Image go to Help:Images -- Esemono 01:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Assault Carriers/flagships
If you were the one who visited my article and said " This is why we need a list of covenant ships," if you don't believe me that's fine,but, I will mention the fact that most of this is true. Oh, and ya know that H.B.O article that says an assault carrier is 5,346 kilometers long, DON'T LISTEN TO IT. H.B.O is not the best source for halo information. The best and top of the line source is either the bungie website, if you have an account there, and the halo storyline. That is where I got all my information including the fact of how the arbitor was gaurdian of the luminous key, which is theorized to be the index of halo, and the commander of ascendant justice and fleet of particular justice. By the way, I do find it interesting ascendant jusctice and the fleet of particular jusice have similar names. Anyhow, I'm am adding more to my article on possible weapons that the assault carrier or flagship is equipped with. Sorry about the title mispelling as I'm trying to correct it.


 * Please provide the Bungie link that talks about the gaurdian of the luminous key, Thank you! -- Esemono 01:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

The Intro
The intro is way too long. most of the information in it should be further down, in the main article. its just ridiculous how long its been allowed to grow! could someone please edit it? better, someone should rewrite it, and maybe condense it so it is mor informative without being twice the length it should be!
 * How is that -- Esemono 05:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
