    about foundation, yr supposed to do this to unlock it.
    on the last level wit the banshees the first player isnt supposed to do any flips or anything. nothing just drive it regular. but on the second player that person is suppoed to do a front flip left, and right flip and u should unlock it on any difficulty

    Actually, if u think ab it, one forum is easier to find but it will get really big. So itll just feel like a lot more then if there were 5 or 6 forums, but in reality there is prolly less to read(that is if u actually read every forum).

    I think one halo forum is all it takes. In reality u need only one, it doesnt make sence to have 14 forums on the same topic. One forum all the hlo 2 ppl can talk insted of jumping back and forth.

    Getting into this convo pretty late, so I wont comment on anything b4, too much to do so :p

    My concern with XBox2 is that Microsoft must be being pretty pressured to take out the HDD to prevent "illegal" modding. It seems to me that modding is so popular that MS is probably losing a marginal amount of $$ due to a slowing of game purchases due to XB copy mods.

    My personnal hope is that M$ includes a HDD in the XB2, despite the problems of modding, because the HDD is one of the XB lne's defining features. Without it, there is no music storage and a very small amount of personalization for each individual XB, taking away its unique property of being able to conform to the user, much as a PC can. This personalization is also something that tePS2 and gamecube w/o mods lack, and is probably a leading factor in the popularity of the XB over the PS2 and the GC.

    As far as Halo 3 goes, i believe it will be based mostly on Earth, or at least that's my hope. Part of my dissapointment about Halo2 was that it was advertised as a fight to save earth from the covenant, instead it ended up being a galactic romp to stop the activation of a second halo, whose ending was left open to a possible ground war on earth.

    __________________________________________________


    LAST THOUGHTS: Reply to Darkreapr:

    Mytake on the history of the Halo story is that in the begginning there were the forerunners, they created the flood and were engulfed by them, so they created the halos and activated them, killing all life in the galaxy. HOWEVER: what about the forerunners themselves. I think they were humans, and that Earth was their homeworld. I base this on the fact that both Halo custodians recognized humans as "reclaimers" and I believe they never called the covenant reclaimers. This suggests to me that the custodians "IE Guilty Spark 343?" recognized them as forerunners coming back to "reclaim" the halos and stop the flood once more.

    I think modern humanity in the halo universe is perhaps an evolutionary descendant of the forerunners. This would explain why the Covenant hierarch(spelled right?) at the end of H2 returns to earth when he was supposedly going to go to the control center of the halo rings to activate them all. It also explains why the Prophet of Regret went to Earth not expecting to find the humans there, he was looking to gain control of the halo control center as well, and didn't know that the planet was already settled by humans. The same may be said about Reach, the planet from the beginning of Halo that the covenant ambushed. CONTinUED IN THE BOOK SECTION(below)

    FOR THOSE WHO'VE READ THE HALO BOOKS:

    The master chief describes activating the underground light bridge on the first halo, as seemingly instinctual and even cortana doesn't know how he knew how to activate it. What if when the spartan's were augmented, it was done by using Forerunner technology, and so the Spartan II's are part forerunner?

    Maybe the crystal the covenant was after on Reach was a part of the Halo central control center or something related. I am noticing an odd correlation between the planets formerly settled by the Forerunners and the ones settled by humanity. Further proof of humanity's roots in um... Forerunner...dom? Maybe Earth, Reach, and the other planets are habitable for humans because they were habitable for the Forerunners who were humans?

    If any of this has already been said, I'm not ripping of your ideas, i just didn't bother to read them =P

    Can't wait for Halo3. Bungie no more continuation endings, god help you if you make a continuation endings again. For every continuation ending I find, I shall kill you! lol

    Answer the question: Who copied who on screen names?

    Secondly: This is a Halo2/3 chat thread so, why all the discussion about the new XBOX?

    Personally I don't really see the point of a new console considering the fact that the first console is still highly popular and there are still alot of games coming to the old XBOX console, same goes for the PS3. Why bring out another console when there's still quite alot of profit to be made out of the cuerrent console/s?

    and once again, thanx for reading!

    M$ is doing it's trademark thing. The release of the XB2 is coming so early because M$ wants to try and dominate the industry (as impossible as we all know that sounds) The enormous popularity of the XB has given M$ the ability to rush the market before the GC2? and PS3 are released. Their hope is probably to steal some huge sales from PS3 and nintendo and maybe even to push them out of the US market by making better games available earlier and in a more graphically advanced state than Sony or Nintendo's new consoles can handle. This is just a guess from me, the only person who knows for sure is probably M$'s CEO :p

    SEGA did a similar thing with the Genesis and Sega Saturn. The problem was that Nintendo was more popular and SEGA being a new oppponent in the market just couldn't make the sales that nintendo could, so despite releasing the Saturn, and the Dreamcast before each succesive next generation of consoles (n64, PSX) & (Xbox, PS2, GC), SEGA took it in the pants and died, despite the Dreamcast's graphics capability which rivaled PS2's. The only diff between SEGA and M$, is that M$'s XBOX has been insanely popular in the US, and M$ has the Corporate revenue to back up the XB division no matter what happens, whereas SEGA had to vie for it's position in the market with the existance of the company directly dependant on whether or not they could sell their new system.

    I love the idea of XB dominating the market in the US. I am fed up with Nintendo releasing better and more diverse games in its home country of Japan while we in the US only get offered what Nintendo thinks US consumers will buy (Typical marketting I know, but damn I wanted that Evangelion game for my n64!) Sony does the same thing by releasing its systems in Japan long before we get to see them, and in addition offering special games and unique collector's consoles that never see the United States Market. I think it's nice to finally have a company who is US based so we do not get the shaft.

    @ xboxhalo

    Okay you can stop now man no we didnt copy each other I understand that do you.. sure doesnt look like it. But I understand what happened when you signed up haloxbox was already was already taken so you took the opposite SO LIVE WITH IT.

    @ everyone else

    okay first of all im just thinking this, when 343 Gutility Spark said "All the Forerunners died as planned"

    Well then we can already picture in our mind how big a explosion Halo would be activated. And as we know it would destroy all. So if all was destroyed, then how could there be a halo how could there be any stars left,or Earth? Consider that.

    The rings don't explode! No one really knows how they work exactly (except 343 Guilty Spark and other monitors), but they destroy sentient life, and nothing else.
