==info of the needler not being dual-wieldable==


== The article is too long ==
Oh, who put the info of the needler not being dual-wieldable? Where did you get that info? --[[User:Indel|Indel]] 04:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
In my oppinion the article is unnecessarily long, perhaps instead of having a elaborate list of all the weapons in the game, have just a very short section regarding the subject and provide a link to a main article named "weapons in Halo 3" or something.
:Ok, that was maybe a bad example, just apply it to the storyline section or multiplayer instead --[[User talk:Maiar|Maiar]] 04:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

i would just like to know which map has the greatest forge allowence for explosive objects (fusion coils, plasma batterys, propane tanks, mongeese, etc) out of the origional came-with-game maps. and if you could suggest the best way to contain the pile without reducing the boom-boom that would be appreachiated. and the best detonator to maximize KABOOM.--[[User talk:Maiar|Maiar]] 04:39, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
cool. --EliteDeath 14:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


What are you trying to do? For most things I'd use Sandtrap because there are large open areas and the map is huge. To contain the explosion you should build a cage of boxes. A good detonater would be a well placed spike grenade. [[User talk:John95|John95]] 02:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

== Nationwide Sickness ==
==These Sites might have more info==


I think it should also be noted on this article that a large percentage of the U.S. population was struck by a sudden virus on the day of this game's release. People everywhere were calling in sick to their schools and jobs coincidentally on the same day Halo 3 was released. I think Halo 3 may have some part in this grand conspiracy. ;)

== 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?.


I was sick that day! [[User talk:John95|John95]] 02:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
: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. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 22:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


:[[User talk:Ju Juitsu|Ju Juitsu]] 04:08, 20 February 2009 (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. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


--[[User talk:BahrKode|BahrKode]] 06:54, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
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? {{unsigned|71.143.20.61}}

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

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.--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophit of war]] 14:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


== Plot Error, Re: High Charity Pelican ==
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)


The Pelican that was found on High Charity could not have come from the "Halo 2 era" as stated in the article because it was surrounded by dead *uninfected* marines with an active radio beacon. The Pelicans that were scattered around High Charity from the In Amber Clad were loaded with Flood and certainly would not be in radio contact anymore.
And having heavier weapons on your back would not make sense. It would get in the way. --EliteDeath 14:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


==Show Refs==
== Cortana's Message During Trailer ==


Umm, the game footage of Halo 3 can also be seen on a Hallmark Channel Movie, don't know the name, but as soon as I heard SPARTAN death screams, I ran in. Anyways, the trivia should be updated to show the reference. If anyone knows the movie, reply here and put it in the trivia section.
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."


EM
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.


== HELP ME!!! ==
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.


I recently plugged my Xbox 360 arcade into the internet and (despite my pathetic little memory card now filled to the brink with compleatly pointless but apparently essential updates) it keps telling me that i don't have permission to play online. I payed 300 fucking dollars for the son of a bitch then 80 for halo 3 (and certain amounts for a few other games) and another 32 for a few meters of ethernet cable. $400 dosn't get me the right to online play?
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.


Do i have to buy a gold membership too? *tut tut* and i chose an Xbox over a PS3 because i thought it would be cheaper.
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.


::it was new but thanx for the tip
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. :)


You need a gold membership.
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.


Wow, all that just to play live? If you were smart, you would had save the money for something else instead. Or just try to play live in your friend's house. P.S. See kids? This is what happens when you really want something badly and you're willing to do anything for it. --[[User talk:Ultra Force|Ultra Force]] 01:36, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
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.--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophit of war]] 14:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I think level 12 battle armor is just a automated hunter with a sentinel beam.

Anybody know when they'll make this one available for PCs? I don't have the money for an Xbox, but I wan this game. Does Microsoft have any plans to make it available to PC gamers?
Godzillafan93 16:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


I don't believe Microsoft have any plans of releasing this on PC, for a start the game system is a lot more advanced than the other two Halo games. Also while it is still popular (which I think it will always be) they will not want to bring it out on PC as they want people to buy XBoxes, and also if it was on PC there would be an availability of easy modding and maybe even hacking, which would definitely not be good for Microsoft or Bungie!

== Fanart vehicles ==


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


THey made a PC version of Halo 2, I think it's just a matter of time till there is a PC version. Other games have just as good graphics, like Call of duty 4 and world at war and there on the PC
I'm with you dude, and what about any others? If someone knows others, because I know what the Mongoose looks like.--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophit of war]] 14:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


Yeah i agree, it would also be unfair towards pc gamers to bring halo 1 and 2 to the pc, let halo 2 end in a terrible way and then not bringing part 3 to the pc.
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)
(Because halo 2 and 3 are actually just one game, with halo 2 you have only half a game it doesn't have an ending).
But considiring the time they took to get halo 2 to the pc then you might have to wait a pretty long fucking while.
That's why i'm happy to have an xbox360 xD.--[[Special:Contributions/84.87.173.45|84.87.173.45]] 21:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


Halo 2 does have an ending. It's called a cliffhanger. And PC games in general have better graphics. Crysis would melt an Xbox Elite on the lowest graphics settings.

== 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 [http://www.h3countdown.co.nr h3countdown.co.nr]

: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. --[[User:MastaCheez|MastaCheez]] 23:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


I don't believe Bungie would have very much to do with the PC version. Remember, Gearbox did Halo: CE and Hired Gun, a Microsoft team, did Halo 2 Vista with only a little help from Bungie. Most likely, either a third party developer like Gearbox or Microsoft's own team, similar to 343 Industries ;) will develop the PC version, so keep an eye on them.

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


Bungie have said the reason why Halo 3 '''WILL NOT''' be available for PC is because the memory requirements are immense. Halo 3 would require 3 terabytes of memory to play on your computer. And no computer in the world has anything close to that. That's the reason why Halo 3 won't be available for PC for a ''long'' time.

i just thought y couldnt earth be a shield world just like onyx
if the forerunners could build 7 halos dont u think they would have build several shield worlds, cuz if they built just one it could have over been run and they would have been f***ed
so it could be earth is another shield world like onyx
it covers everything they have said so far
something that should be familiar, the onyx shield world
thus earth being conquered by everything the covenant has and then it blows up when it opens causing the total destruction of the covenant fleet supporting the profits while the fleet supporting the elites survives

I've been doing alot of research and heres what I found. After rummaging through useless links and blogs, I fould something odd. In a recent E-mail sent to suscribers of the Games for Windows Download service, one the games showed in the LINK image and on the page of the site shows "Halo 3" as a possible future download. Going into the link however, only shows Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. Someone jumping the gun on a possible "Halo 3 PC" announcement?? Or perhaps a mistake?? Remember, a PC version of the other games took about 2-3 years to complete.

Well, considering the paranoia about "7" in their games, I think I might point out an odd little coincidence.

Onyx was mencioned to be the shield, now that the core is inpenetrable, and it was meant to protect the reclaimers in the book ''[[Ghosts of Onyx]]''.

I think that the halos are the Swords don't you think since they could destroy the universe. The Ark I think would have to be a shield world your even somthing greater than a shield world. I don't think that the mastercheif would be allowed to be killed by the halos. I also can't believe that Onyx is the only shield world there would have to be more mabye 7 like the halos.-Van_246

The halos are the fortress worlds


== I was wondering ==
I don't know, i really doubt earth would be concidered a shield world, because they definitely made onyx a shield world, and it had no tectonic activity, wouldn't make sense to make all of them with the same attributes?
having said that it has came to my mind that perhaps they made earth to appear more as a normal planet instead of a shield world, cause you look at the abandoned onyx and you find it empty. It stands to reason that perhaps after the Halo's were activated, killing everything else BUT the flood, they went strait to onyx, knowing about it or something, since it was most likely in the Files of the Halo Installations.


From what I can tell, people are saying halo 3 is the end of the halo TRILOGY, not series. What I'm saying is that trilogy means three right? So nothing past three would be in the trilogy. I'm just saying they might be trying to trick us into thinking there will be no Halo 4, then make one. I know its kind of...speculation, but I wanted to see if its possible. Asking HERE rather then some random halopedia forum with possibly extremely un-reliable sources made sence to me.[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 22:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
But that just brings in the ark, maybe they covered the ark up so well, and the flood just didn't notice it so they starved, and by the time good ole humans came out of the shell the flood were nothing more than infection forms on the original halo installations.


Nay, bungie has said that this is the end of this story Arc, mayhaps there will be others, but more then likely not to do witht he same events, shaped around the mc [[User talk:Honor Guard Reborn|&quot;Die? Didn&#39;t you know?...Spartans don&#39;t die.&quot;]] 10:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe thats what bungie is afraid of? making the chief look dumb. hate to admit it, but there are very few games where the characters look good, and MC would have to look amazing to make his whole appearance still be respected and loved. perhaps it is better to just let the Helmet stay on and keep his image in our imagination.. -Starliner


2 years later and i still do not get how the flood were defeated... surely they were not ALL on high charity???
They should at least show the back of his head or something, after all this time everyone wants to know what he really looks like, but if they never show his face it leaves it open to imagination.


They weren't aiming to destroy all of them, only the ones on the Ark. And thus, the Gravemind.[[User talk:Honor Guard Reborn|We are dropping into Hell troopers, cause you forgot to pray to God!]] 20:34, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

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.

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


But surely there would be enough biomass on a covenant crusier to make a new one??

But they have to get one first. Besides, they can probbaly make another one on Installation 05, cause in the hologram, it has enough flood biomass to make fifty lol. But then, they are still stuck, until the next group of people blunder onto it.

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


== how did they beat the chief to earth? ==
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)


OK, explain this bit of weirdness to me.
y would halo 3 be a third person... --[[User:RimFire|RimFire]] 20:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


At the end of Halo 2, R'tas Vatamee (I believe that's Half Jaw's name) commandeered a Covenant battleship, presumably the Shadow of Intent. While the Arbiter, Johnson, and Miranda were battling Tartarus on Installation 05, Master Chief was on his way to Earth on the Forerunner Keyship.
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)


Yet somehow, in the beginning of Halo 3 when the Chief finishes his joyride to the surface of the Earth after blasting his way off the Keyship, the Arbiter, Johnson, and Miranda weren't just already on the planet, but had already been established as base commanders and had been defending Earth from Covenant Loyalist attacks. Not only that, but after the Keyship lands and opens the portal to the Ark, THEN the Shadow of Intent appears!
YEah I hated how you couldnt zoom in with the sniper in the passenger seat anymore.--[[User:JohnSpartan117]] [http://installation07.uk.to] 23:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


I've always assumed that they all made it back to Earth on the Shadow of Intent, under Half-Jaw's command, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I'm finding it a little hard to believe that he dropped them off, went back to get Elite Shipmasters, and came back again (I imagine that there's travel time when it comes to interstellar Slipspace travel, and time was not something they had to waste). So how did the Arbiter, Johnson, and Miranda get back to Earth? And how on Reach did they get to Earth so quickly as to establish themselves and "settle in" (as much as one can "settle in" during a war) before the Chief could so much as get off the ship he was on? Reminds me of the Halo Wars Arbiter and his apparent ability to teleport from planet to planet between cutscenes.

In Halo wars, they skipped out on the weeks f travel, making it seem instantaneous.
Maybe that 1 of those kids was the chief on Eridanus.I think colonel Robert Watts is the MCs dad also.


As for halo 3, Truths ship may not have gone straight to earth. Oh and btw, Rtas was talking about a CCS-Battlecruiser, not a Assault carrier, so he wasn't trying to recapture the Shadow of Intent.

: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.


:From the [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16989 official timeline]:
:Anyways its just speculation. --EliteDeath 14:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
:*November 3: Prophet of Truth leaves High Charity for Earth in Forerunner dreadnought.
:*November 8: The Forerunner dreadnought arrives in the Sol system and proceeds to Earth at near relativistic speed.
:*November 17: The Forerunner dreadnought arrives at Earth. SPARTAN-117 ejects and lands in the Kenyan jungle.


:Regret's carrier made the trip from Earth to Delta Halo in thirteen days. If Miranda, Johnson and the Arbiter left just after the ending scene of Halo 2, they'd have a chance to make it to Earth a day before the Chief. Plus, they might've been using a faster Covenant vessel than a carrier, arriving even earlier. I always thought the Fleet of Retribution spared one of their fastest ships and sent them on their way while trying to maintain the quarantine of High Charity.
::Ew... Such gross misrepresentations of the truth.


:Still, the timeline seems to have been purposefully made up to make it possible for Johnson, the Arbiter and Miranda to get to Earth before the Chief. There isn't really a good explanation for why the Dreadnought would hang out in Sol, or approach Earth at "near-relativistic speeds" for nine days instead of just directly landing there. Unless Truth wanted to make sure all orbital and groundside threats are removed first. Halo: Uprising showed the Chief doing stuff in the Dreadnought while it was in Sol, but that didn't really seem like nine days. Also, there's seemingly a conflict with Ghosts of Onyx, which seems to imply that the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}} made it to Earth in mere hours following the Dreadnought's slipspace wake. Of course, it was never directly stated it was caused by the Dreadnought, but one can figure it out. Oh well, I guess we can assume it was an anomaly of something, as a sloppy explanation. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 14:31, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
:: Cortana was made from Dr. Halsey's flash cloned brain. My personal guess, was that was Linda and John, talking on Reach. But that isn't the important part of it. You have to disect the video to get an understanding for what is really going on.


Thanks for the info. I'm just going to pretend that Truth's ship stopped off at another part of space, rendevouxed (sp?) with other Brute ships in other systems (perhaps they had gotten the signal from Truth to mutiny against the Elite Shipmasters or were watching Truth's anti-Elite rants on Covenant Fox News (right before Master Chief showed up in that level)) in order to build up a larger fleet to attack Earth. I'm pretending that the Chief stayed in the shadows since otherwise he'd be facing impossible odds and perhaps wouldn't even have been able to get to Earth otherwise (even without all the enemy soldiers and ships, without Cortana I doubt he'd be able to fly a Covenant/Forerunner starship alone with no crew). I like that idea.
::1) Sargeant Avery Johnson is back on Earth. He is the one that asks if the Chief has made radio contact, before the marine says he was lost. It is distinctly said "Negative, Sarge. I think we lost him." THIS means something else. The Sargeant has made him way back from Delta Halo Installation 05, along with possibly the Arbiter. How else would he have been able to make the slipspace jump.  


Of course, that timeline raises the question of what everyone on In Amber Clad were doing during the 13 days it took to get to Delta Halo. Were Chief and Johnson sitting on the ODST pods for 2 weeks? Wow, I love Halo's story, but it can really get sloppy at times.[[User talk:Son of God-Enel|Son of God-Enel]] 02:06, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
::2) This leads me to believe that the humans and Elite's are IN FACT allies. When the Master Chief jumps from the edge of the cliff and down onto the enemies, they are brutes and nothing else. Perhaps this means that the jackals and drones are also Defacto as well. I have no idea, but I do know that he wasn't attacking Elite's.

== Howd This Happen? ==
I thought the Elites teamed up with the humans at the end of Halo 2, when they find out the Halos and what they were fighting for was wrong. And in the last level the Arbiter is fighting alongside Johnson. I don't see why they would still be fighintg if they're fighting for the same thing. [[User:Salty|Salty]] 02:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


Elaborate for me ok?
in my opinion SARGE did sound like Johnson, gruff, yes, tired yes, but still sarge, i agree with CaptainAdamGraves. [[User:Starliner]]


At the end of Halo 2, Miranda Keyes and Sgt. Johnson are finding out about the ark...
Ok sorry about that but I didn't really hear the sarge on the radio that well, There were to many voices and to little time between them. Anyway Sarge is important to the Halo story. If he's back on earth then something big is going to happen. (And I mean more than the Covenant invasion and the Forerunner structure in the earth's crust.) Omrifere


well, how did they get back to earth. because it shure doesnt say anywhere ive looked
== Weapons ==


thanks
Why has the M6D been put up? the ad on ESPN only showed a pistol. from what i could see, it had no scope, so it is going to be the M6C again. besides, Bungie wouldnt put something like that back in the game. if it did, there'd be no reason to use the BR, which is confirmed.

I didnt say I didnt see the assault rifle, i'm just saying that it probably isnt the M6D he's holding. i didnt say anything about the assault rifle, though it does look sweet.
If u had half an eye u would be able 2 see the scope just hit pause at the right moment an dyou will be able 2 see it.


:The Keyship stayed back while the rest of the Covenant fleet paved the way. Arbiter, Miranda and Johnson did not. I imagine they hijacked a Covenant ship, like Rtas went off to do in the last level of Halo 2, and took it to Earth while Rtas rounded up ships to quarantine High Charity. They arrived while the Keyship was still maintaining station near Io, and waited as the orbital defence collapsed and the Keyship moved in, allowing the Master Chief to jump ship. [[Halo: Uprising]].

== Regarding the Forerunner Structure ==
[[Image:Ark concept.jpg|thumb|Concept sketch of the Ark opening.]]

So my bet is Covenant, and probably the aforementioned cruiser captured by Rtas. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 03:02, 2 December 2011 (EST)

== Halo 3 Anniversary? ==
== Assault Carriers/flagships ==


I was just wondering and wanted to know what people thought........Does anyone think the odds are good that we'll eventually see a Halo 3 Anniversary by the time 2017 rolls around? I know it's silly to discuss it now when we have Halo 2 Anniversary, but I am genuinely curious what people think the odds are of this, since Halo 3's graphics have aged a little better than its two predecessors had before their respective anniversaries. But there are probably still ways Halo 3 could benefit from the same treatment someday. What does everyone else think? Are the odds good or bad considering these facts? Purely curious. I mean by the time 2017 rolls around, there is a good chance Halo 3's graphics will look dated next to the newly remastered games and anything from Halo Reach onward.[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 17:50, 29 September 2015 (EDT)
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.


I would love for there to be a remake of Halo 3 but we've got that with the MCC but can't kill the dream of an authentic recreation with full UI or maybe MCC get an overhaul for the 73456545665455678th time? [[User:Storm|Storm]] ([[User talk:Storm|talk]])
