bah it looks like you still cant have game modes where you spawn in a vehicle, even with forge

Sweet Mama!!

While Forge may end up being the key to Halo 3's longevity, saved films will be the key to its propagation. We were fortunate enough to experience a first-hand demo of Halo 3's saved film feature in action, and based on our hands-off look we're fairly certain this bonus feature hits all the right notes, a perfect mix of ease of use, flexibility and functionality. Recording a game film is quick and easy -- and versatile. We saw it in action for a standard multiplayer session on the Sandtrap map, but we're told it will also work in campaign, co-op and Forge modes.



But Halo 3's data recreation has another even more impressive benefit: it frees up the viewer's perspective. Where an actual video would be limited to the perspective from which it was recorded, this data-driven approach allows a viewer to jump instantly to any player's point of view... or to skip the in-game perspective altogether by moving the camera outside the eyeballs of all the Spartans and Elites running around blowing each other to pieces. The free camera controls are effectively identical to the Monitor controls in Forge, a simple and intuitive way to navigate fully 3D space.

i just got Halo Uprising but i haven't read it yet! i'm so excited!

and those massive battle? yeah. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Not a single member of the covenant speaks a lick of english.

The books maintain that AI's like Cortana used a database of Covenant language (which grew by the day) to create a translator. The ability for MC to hear all the Covenant's language was because of the translating ability of Cortana (which was something she would have left in the Chief's armor for Halo 3). Drones and Jackals probably still have their native tongue because it's more shrieks and high pitch noises (like dogs, cats, birds, insects, etc) than an actual language with writing. Obviously gameplay scenes with the Arbiter were in English because it helps tell the story better (as most people hate subtitles).

Halo Uprising demonstrates that the Covenant DO NOT speak english - the scenes with humans have the Covenant speaking that hieroglyphic language. The only way they can "speak" English is through a translator. At the end of Halo: Uprising #1, the Brute is broadcasting his message through a translator (which is easier in the Covie's case, as they only have to decipher one language that is much less complex than their own) just like a previous scene with a certain high ranking military official.

The official answer: a translator, or as you put it - babelfish =P

Now it seems even more out of place for the covenant to use profanity.

What do you know Deft, what do you know????????

@JXB, he smokes the same as I do, truth. And he didn't say it looks like an Xbox game, and didn't say everything looks flat--although it wouldn't be a huge lie.
