Ok, just one. Beta for Halo 3 starts May 16 and will run through the first week of June.
Wanna know what the X button does?
It's all been released, baby.
THE X BUTTON:

Yup its official, all you bastards that fast forwarded to the end were wrong. X button deploys either the trip mine or the bubble shield, depending on what you have. Think of the trip mine as a suicide bomb and you've already seen the bubble shield.
The replay is the record of the match that you can watch at the end of the game; You can change the views, slo-mo, etc. But the X button is equipment deployment.

LCDXX wrote:On the official announcement post over at Bungie, Frankie commented in the discussion thread that the trailer featured not two but three deployed devices via the X button. All signs point to a portable gravity lift (if you watch the Quicktime, it's at 00:22 - on Xbox Live it's at 00:27). You don't actually see it get tossed down, but there is a blue guy using it to reach a turret platform at the very beginning of the vidoc - later in the same video, the platform is there but there's not grav-lift in front of it.

I apologize if the clever escaped your grasp, it can be tricky.
Can't watch videos at the moment.
I'm actually downloading it myself, I'll let you know when it's finished unless someone beats me to it. I've got 5 mins to go.
well, its more that I like to know what a thread is before I click on it, the current name is much better.
*confused*
Well, the original title was pretty spammy.
I actually clicked on the thread link just to see why anybody would risk a Jailing in order to reply to a spam thread.
Some guys on Neogaf have spotted a new game type, Escort, as well as a map named Warthog, Inc. (probably a codename).

Why does it seem like that?
I'm thoroughly excited and I play other FPSs like Rainbow Six, Counter-Strike and UT.
Traps/devices could make Halo a lot more exciting I guess.
I despise Halo 2.
I hope Halo 3 is great.
just the general ethos of the developers, how they talk about it, play it lots, talk about levels having to be fun the thousandth time round, stuff like that.
Dude, that just sounds like fucking awesome game design. Imagine if everyone developing new "Spong-Bob Squarepants" games thought like that.
I didn't say it was a bad thing. In fact, I said it's good for the fans.
Come on May 16th!
I don't get your comment either. I think those design concepts should be applied to every game. I didn't see anything specific to Halo in there, especially not something that targets the uber-fans.
opinion is wishful thinking at its worst.

For some reason I was reminded of SW: Ep 1 when Qui Gon and Darth Maul were fighting and that force field popped up between them. They had a moment to just look at each other, rest, recoup, and then BAM, it's on again.

No, this is different, this is more like replays you see in racing games -- it doesn't show you where you got killed from while you're waiting to respawn.
This is fixing those "You're playing Halo with a bunch of friends at a LAN party. Suddenly, a cry goes up from one player, and simultaneously, some other player starts laughing, and yelling "owned! owned!" and you know something awesome went down, but you totally missed it" --- now, afterwards, in the post game, you can watch a whole replay of the entire match.

Trip mines are always fun. Always.
Still, it's not really all that different from the demo recording that most PC FPSes support.
There are even online "TV stations" entirely devoted to streaming Counter-strike matches.
it's a good feature, so what?
you guys are being silly
Wouldn't have chance to watch a reply - I would be too busy puching the guy who said "owned" outloud in the face.
I hope the single player is getting as much time as this. I care not for multiplayer FPSs and the abrupt ending of Halo 2 implys to me they split there resources badly.

I feel the same way. Halo was a fairly good console-FPS with a half-decent story. Halo 2 was a reasonable sequel with an unfinished story.
Hopefully the devs have put the effort into developing a quality single-player experience this time.
To me, that's exactly what Halo has always been missing. While playing Halo (the campaign), I've never thought "Wow, this is fucking incredible".
It was a very fun coop game.
not many of those on the sequel
Silent Cartographer beach landing begs to disagree with you. But it was so goddamned short.
I'd also argue the entirety of The Maw. Simply one of the greatest levels of all time, IMO.
Oh, and certain sections of Assault on the Control Room, like the giant pyramid, the ice lake, and the entire scorpion section.
