Man FUCK this!
The entire game has German voices and you can't change it to English in any way!
I have English subtitles, English everything except for the voices!
And the German voice track is the shittiest voice track ever, it's like a c-movie cast!

anybody have any tips for the scarab fights?[/spoiler]
it's a pain at times, but the easiest way I found to kill them is to board it and blow up the reactor. The problem is boarding it and not dying to the hoard of Brutes riding on them
Yeah the entire shoot the joints thing seems fucking useless unless you are in a tank.
Nick a rocket launcher (or if you can swing it a missile turret) board and cause chaos.
Or you could grab a hornet, land on top, jump out and run like hell, wrench off a plasma cannon, blow up the core and run back to your hornet before it falls off. Prolly not the best way, but definitely the most fun. Aerial assault, bitch!
If you have a Hornet,
You can just fly around to the back and shoot at the access panel back there. It'll blow the back off and give you a straight shot to the core. Simple and effective.

Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

So, I got the Steaktacular medal in a Shotty Snipers match.
Someone owes me a steak dinner. And I want to know what it means.

I bet this is retardedly obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure it out..
3rd or 4th mission spoiler:
How the hell do I finish off the scarab after i board it? Johnson keeps saying to kill the core, I'll know it when I see it, etc., but I have no clue what he is talking about. Every inch of the scarab doesnt seem to mind getting pelted with rockets.
I just beat it myself. The glowing shit on the back of the upper deck? Blast the hell out of it.
So I hear there are terminals in the game. What do they look like because I haven accessed a single one of them
I have found one. It's a big yellow ball.
Spoilers:
Are they on every level ,or just a few? The only one I've found was on The Ark.
I found one on The Ark as well, behind some stairs. I was kinda of put off by it since it threatened to sick Sentinels on me. I guess I wasn't expecting Bungie's version of "find the cogs"
I just realized, my friends list isn't full, which means I don't have enough. I'd like to be able to actually host and fill custom games at some point, so anyone thats got room feel free to throw me a friend request.
Anyone happen to be up for some late night co-op right now? Ive got the last two levels to do on Legendary.

Perhaps this is not helpful for stating the obvious, but have you tried your 360's language settings? Some games do things completely different with language settings, and based on that Hong Kong guy's experience, it might just be that all text is always in English and voice work is the selected language in English localized versions of the game.
On the original Xbox:
...Halo 2 would have text in German and cutscenes in English with German subtitles;
...Rainbow Six 3 would be completely in German

Could someone please point me to a good "previously on" halo story synopsis? I used to have one that covered everything up to Halo 3, but I can't find the link. I'm sure someone can point me in the right direction

ok so i just finished mission 8, about to start 9 (which is the last one). Act 8 is just a bunch of retarded all put together. there are some conepts there that are clever but my god they are carried out badly.
Now just as a general rule I also want to say that I fucking HATE the flood. they are the most uninspired zombie type vailain ever, i hate everything about them, they've ground every game to a halt so far and have been my least favourite parts of every halo, especially halo 1. This game is great but god the flood are so fucking tedious and boring.
edit -
ok finished mission 9 and beat the game now really really good game, waaaaaaaay better than the SP portions of halo 1 and 2, really my only complaint is mission 8
_________________
The Flood in general are my least favorite part of every Halo game.
They were okay in Halo 1 because they were a relatively big surprise; I did not expect a sci-fi game about shooting aliens to turn into a survival horror FPS, horror being used relatively loosely. They did slow down the game, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the part where you wandered through identical corridors for what seemed like hours.
In Halo 2 they were no longer a surprise and overused. It made the game more tedious than need be. There also wasn't a very good reason for them to be active, they were just there. If the Flood had been introduced in a more plausible way and were more active in the background than in the player's perspective (still running into you, but not dominating entire levels), the game would have been more enjoyable, I think.
In Halo 3
They really felt wasted. This was supposed to be the final, decisive battle between all the forces in the Halo universe, but the Flood really ended up feeling tacked on, more than anything. There was no real climactic resolution with the Gravemind or any other Flood entity. Just poof with High Charity. They also somehow got to the incomplete Halo. I understand they're supposed to be intelligent with some sort of hive consciousness but a significant portion of their biomass was eliminated with the destruction if High Charity. They could have been put to better use if their presence peaked with the rescue of Cortana and maybe a sizable three-way set piece between humans/elites, covenant and flood.
Plus, the whole idea behind the Halo installations is that they're designed as a last measure to destroy the Flood, yet they also house the Flood? Derrr...
The fucking Flood is WAY TOO OVERBEARING, as my friend and I's saved checkpoint has neither of us with any ammo. We're on Heroic, but I'd hate to switch to normal for the last fucking level.
My one complaint with the game is the incessant-oh noes there's a covenant dropship arriving once per 10 seconds. Also, I managed to headshot a brute in one of their vehicles as it was approaching me.
So I found a skull in the first level. When you hit the river right at the beginning, go down to the end and look to the right. There's a big rock with a skull on it.
NO idea what it does, it didn't give an achievement or anything.
so, i was about to throw all my toys out the pram when the post came and went with no Halo, then a Parcel Force van showed up with my LE, and ohhhh is that thing pure presentation. I've not even got in to the actual game yet, but just the box is beautiful.
Thanks Bungie

Dont suppose your ordered your LE from Game? Thats what i did, and im still waiting for something to turn up

i got mine from Gameplay, sorry. And i hope the same. I'd been out when i was expecting the post to arrive, got in to see the van hadn't been, then my heart sank when i saw him walking up to the house with just a couple of letters in his hand. I turned my pc on to get Gameplay's number to call and complain (snap decision), ran back downstairs for some reason, to see a big red Parcel Force van pull up. My panic dissipated. I guess.. don't give up hope yet?
What about the information bubbles in the forurunner structures? How many did yoyu guys find? I found only 2. I was hoping there were more to explain what happened to the forerunner, why they left some of us on earth, why the Flood survived the initial blast.
Why they are no longer on the ark. Etc…
I'm happy about the ending, but disapointed about how they did it. At the end, I wasn't even sure if he was dead or not. They should have shown them finding his body in the water or something. Having the soldiers carry his dead body out of the water or something. Showing the Cortana chip destroyed. Having a funeral for him.
Was there something at the end? After the credits, I accidentally hit the "A" button...

Pssst... Don't hit "A" when you see the "Love, Bungie" message. You missed half of the ending.
So Brokeback Grenade Tag on Valhalla might be working. I threw something together this morning. I'll just need volunteers later to test the thing with all 4 teams active. Any volunteers?
if you're having any bit of trouble in campaign, just play with some buddies. I played with 3 other guys on legendary and had it beat before the sun came up. it really wasn't a challenge at all until (big spoilers)
the last level where you're escaping on the hog. Which I thought was a good throwback to halo 1. I always loved the last level on 1.
Concerning the plot, it really is loosely tied together and presented. The whole campaign I was like, what planet are we on now? Why are we here? Why did a new halo just come out of the water? Humans are forerunners? what? why did truth have a ship full of flood? what the HELL is cortana saying?
The solution? who cares, just kill anything thats not a master chief
Finished it last night before firing up the multiplayer (I didn't want some jackass to ruin it). I forgot how much I hate random matches, but OH GOD I love being able to mess around with the camera and watch fights afterwords.
As for the skulls:
I found one right at the beginning of the new halo level, where your and the Arbiter start off in the snow. Head down a bit and keep looking for a path on the right, at the end of it is the skull that gives you the EVA set.
So, reading through the thread, it seems that apart from a few exceptions, everyone hates shotty snipers. I wonder how long bungie will take to review their veto log, and see that nobody fucking likes that gametype in matchmaking. At the very least, they need to tone it down as far as how OFTEN it comes up in matchmaking.
I never understood why we couldn't simply have a Team Slayer Playlist. No variations, no nothing, just 4v4 Vanilla Team Slayer each time I press the join button.
If anyone got a friend invite from MrDeadMan0802, you can safely ignore/delete it. It was the tag I created pre-xbox launch. Instead, I'll be sending out some invites from HeyMrDeadMan.

Second most awesome thing ever?
Ireland had MacGyver for their Halo 3 launch
Fuck the start of the last level, for real.
Because me and a friend did co-op for 3 missions and never say the scoring screen.
