It never says in the cited article that the needler will not be dual weildable. Please do not post non-factual information. -- Justaperson117 00:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I didn't edit the article, but it's known for a fact the Needler is now only single wieldable. It's on the Bungie site (Honestly, I can't be bothered looking) and in the EGM blowout which I have personally read. 81.109.94.62 18:10, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Swedish gaming magazine called LEVEL has a Halo 3 blowout, showing several new weapons, including a Brute Spiker, a Spartan Laser, and the Battle Rifle. These are confirmed please do not delete them. Peptuck 15:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
It may be confirmed via this magazine, but due to copywright law on Wikipedia.org, do not upload the scans to the Wikipedia servers.Darthbob100 16:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Where is this alternate name for the Spartan Laser coming from? I haven't seen it in any confirmed media released thus far. until I can get a cite, I'm removing it. Peptuck 03:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

How it that the image used as a reference shows a spike grenade? There is a frag going off in the far left. There appears to be spikes coming off the warthog turret but I think they are just sparks. Has the article been translated into English and I missed something? James086 Talk | Contribs| Currently up for Editor Review! 06:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Look right up at the top in the centre of thee sky of that picture.
To me that looks like a spiked club or some new alien weapon (flying from someone's dead hands?), not a grenade. That looks big, like a sniper-rifle size, not grenade sized. James086 Talk | Contribs| Currently up for Editor Review! 12:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that looks like that Spike Grenade, or maybe even a club like James was talking about. Tonster User talk:Tonster 15:51, 29 October 2006 (UTC}
The spike gernade looks like a club. Pick up a copy of EGM, they have a good picture of it.
Bungie recently put up an article that explained three of the new multiplayer map screenshots. They said that the object at the top middle of the screen was a Spike Grenade. There is also a two per grenade limit, now. Blazing Dur 2:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Must be able to do some damage or stick to someone when it hits a player, but it has small damage?
Does anyone have a official UNSC Designation for the Mongoose ATV that we could use in the Confirmed Elements section? Tonster 15:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Added the pricing structure. JAF1970 18:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Moreover, Microsoft nor Bungie has actually announced any sort of pricing detail.Darthbob100 01:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Eh, for now, just keep it like that. But when any sort of pricing detail happens...well, you know the drill. darthbob 06:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3154831 I'm too tired to update -- someone else sort out the stuff in this big news item. :) JAF1970 04:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
---Im not sure the final name for it will be "Man Cannon". The people at Bungie call it that and I quote(taken from the EGM's Halo 3 blow-out article): "We call it the Man Cannon becuase it makes us laugh."
Okay you guys got THREE days to add all this info in, or that's it, I will.

I'm re-adding the Wraith to the vehicle list, it was confirmed by Bungie yesterday.
"Posted: 11/2/2006 6:01 PM
Minus 12, huh? I guess that's what happens when one experiments with interactions between various things and the Man Cannon. I still need to see if I can get a wraith up there though. -Tom Achronos Bungie.net Overlord" [3] darthbob 19:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
The Assault Rifle, is now called the MA5C Assault Rifle; don't change it back. darthbob 20:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC) [4]
The Combat Knife hasn't been confirmed, but hasn't been denied yet. I figure we should either keep it out altogether or put in a notation that it's just rumored. As for the DB shotgun and the Spectre, nothing there yet. Though the Shotgun might as well be confirmed (Double Barrel or not), since it's one of the most popular guns in the game. Also, Bungie mentioned the variant "Zombies", which is played with shotguns, in this month's EGM. Quadrius 19:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Why do people keep changing "Spiker" back to "Spike Rifle"? Both Bungie and EGM have consistently called the new Brute gun the Spiker. Also, it is what it is commonly known as around fan forums, esp. at Bungie.net and halo.bungie.org. It should be left as "Spiker" for this wiki article. JGoodman 08:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Whatever happened to the Drones? Have they been confirmed or not?
A Lone Gamer 10:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Seriously, people. The "confirmed facts" and such is WAY out of hand. There are actually several pages of info there now, in a section that really shouldn't be there at all technically. I'm going to pare it down to the essentials. gspawn 04:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Bungie addresses fan complaints with Halo 3.
by Luke Smith, 11.13.2006
Zabrak 01:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to thank whoever cleaned up my trivia addition. Bungies been known to do this and the Marathon symbol has been spotted countless times in both previous Halos so this is likely permanent.
There are two distinct emblems on the side of the AR, as can be plainly seen in the Campaign screenshot. The Marathon emblem can be seen embossed on the rifle just above the trigger guard, while the glowing green power button is located further up the rifle. Do not claim that the Marathon logo is also the power button. - Jason, 4:10 EST
I might be wrong here, but the PS3 has been released, and Halo 3 hasn't. An edit of the section regarding this rumor needs to be made. Quadrius 19:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Something else needs to be mentioned in regards to the release date. Bungie has said nothing regarding a release date. Not a specific day, not a specific month, not a specific season or quarter. All they've said is the vague "2007". Granted, the annoucement that a public beta will come out in the Spring means that the game will not likely come out anytime in the first half of 2007 (definitely not Q1) and narrows the possible range of release dates down to Q3 or Q4, but that's all it does. People really need to stop adding things like "Holiday 2007" or "November 2007". All we know is that Halo 3 will come out next year some time after the public beta. "TBA 2007" should suffice for a release. JGoodman 07:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
In addition to the normal released game there will be a Legendary Edition and a Collector's Edition released, (source = http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg.dll?p=agg&sql=1:51211, http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg.dll?p=agg&sql=1:51212, if that does not work go to allgames.com and type halo into the search space)
Reference tags are acting kind of screwy. I've tried referencing a source on the plasma pistol, but when I use the <ref> tags it references an incorrect link. Can someone figure out what I'm doing wrong here? Peptuck 23:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Who deleted my post about the pre-order stuff? I hate when people do that! This is supposed to be a FREE discussion board. SO STOP DELETING OTHER PEOPLE's POSTS! So Im going to repost it, and this time dont delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gundam94 ( talk • contribs)
"Enemies"... Covenant Covenant Elites (Sangheili) Covenant Grunts (Unggoy)[16] Covenant Hunters (Lekgolo)[15] Covenant Jackals (Kig-Yar)[15] Covenant Brutes (Jiralhanae)[17] Unknown enemy, "something larger than a Grunt"...
I thought the Elites, Grunts, Hunters, and Jackals were on the humans side
Human+ELite VS Brutes+Prophet
or
(Human+Elite)-VS -(Brutes+Prophet) VS Flood (common enemy of both sides)
DrakeKobra 19:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
_____________________________________________________________________________
BTW, Isn't Pre-order Stuff still pertaining to the subject? (What else do you do besides talk on a talk page?)
just asking —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrakeKobra ( talk • contribs) 13:11, November 25, 2006
I understand the preorder thing, but shouldn't the enemies/allies page be listed as what we know about it so far, and change it accordingly if it would be wrong? I mean all we now are a few leaks and the knowledge gathered from the last game. It probably should be listed as how we KNOW it was until we KNOW if the Covenant turns. Besides if they do turn, it would be a bad decision for them, because they wouldn't have ANY allies, plus the marines/spartans and the Covenent elites (Arbiter, Hunters, Jackals, Elites, and Grunts) both have the same goal(s): prevent the index from being activated, destroy the Flood, and destroy the Brutes and the Prophet of Truth. Leaving them as enemies would be guessing, listing them as allies would be better, because so far We KNOW they are on our side from last game. If you want a reference, play the last lvl of HALO 2.
and you spelled "for" wrong.
DrakeKobra 22:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
I guess you're right, but i thought the elites were on the humans side to keep the index from being activated. Wait, how do you know that the elites aren't on our side. it could be either way. ...starting to wonder about the benifits of an enemies page...
my COmputers starting to crash, might not post for a while...
DrakeKobra 16:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Elites have not aligned with humans. According to Halo: Ghosts of Onyx the Elites are still very hostile toward humanity, even as of the conclusion of Halo 2. Peptuck 04:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
________ -~-|Cutscene|-~- ===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===--- | | | Now back to the Arbiter, it's time to stop the key from turning. | | Tartarus must be stopped.

=============================== - Your Ass, My Size-24 Hoof - ===============================
>> Crush any Brutes in your path.
You start off with a few choices. You can either take the Wraith, Spectre, or a Ghost that will engage you up ahead. For starters, I chose the Wraith for its superior firepower and the fact that I utterly despise the Spectre. Anyway, begin to move through the area following your Commander. Various Brutes will appear in Ghosts. Hijack one if you'd or like or blast the crap out of all of them. Move your vehicle through the forest floor taking down any Ghosts that get in your way....
Have your team of newly escaped Elites and Hunters help you knock out the remaining Brutes. With the Hunters help, they should be easily killed off. The door will lead you into another hallway which in turn, leads you to the platform with the Scarab. However, there are numerous Brutes here which need some schooling. Surprisingly, there are Marines here... to help you! The Scarab is just ahead...
You are the arbiter; read last paragraph ( surprisingly there are marines here... TO HELP YOU!)
FULL WALKTHROUGH ( http://faqs.ign.com/articles/571/571758p1.html)
(for references look for The Great Journey)
....*Now that Tartarus has died the horrible death, and the perimeter is secure,
Daughter Keyes leaps onto the center platform and pulls the Icon out of the launcher. Disaster averted. The Halo abort sequence is initiated, and a small explosion results. Another twist is added to the story. Because of the abort sequence being initiated, the Halo ring has split into several different subsections, each which can be remotely detonated aboard the Forerunner ship. Oh boy. The Arbiter joins with the Marines to help fight off the chance of a threat.*
- From here on, the credits display showing the entire Bungie staff and associates responsible for Halo 2. Afterwards, if you wait, another movie is shown....
The Arbiter JOINS with the Marines to help fight off the chance of a threat!
If you notice this happens at the end of the game, signaling that at least for a while, the Covenant elites ( not brutes) are on OUR SIDE.

There's my proof!

DrakeKobra 21:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
This is not evidence of an alliance; it is evidence of a single group of Elites and humans fighting side by side against a mutual threat, with no indications it will hold. In Halo: Ghosts of Onyx the Elites are still hostile toward humans even during the civil war and afterward on Onyx. Peptuck 02:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Who said anything about the alliance or whatever you want to call it holding? All i said was that since the index is still in danger of being activated, the elites will fight side by side no matter if both sides depise each other, until the index is destroyed or in no danger of being activated. Then after they are destroyed, the humans and aliens an go back to senselessly beating each others brains out.
Also, rember that this is the END of an epic video game trilogy, so ingame sometime, keep in mind, it finishes with Halo 3, whether we allie, bcome neutral, destroy the covenant, or humanity is wiped off the face of the earth (and/or wherever else we are).
I'm hoping the first happens, or at least the last option does not.
DrakeKobra 21:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Thats what I'm saying, since they have to be on our side UNTIL index is deactivated, then TEMPORARILY the Arbiter and HIS group of elites should be (for now) "allies" I didn't say anything about the "vast majority of blahblahblah" im talking about the Arbiter, his Hunters, his Jackals, His ELites, and his grunts. Its even stated that SGT. Johnson "hates the Arbiters guts" But (read carefully) is FORCED to work with the Arbiter and his team to DEACTIVATE the INDEX(ES). the BRUTES and the rest of the elites are in all manners hostile against everyone else. THe ARBITER is CURRENTLY on our side. (CURRENTLY) being the key word in that sentence. plus i get the feeling that not everyone on this talk forum has an NPOV. if you did you would see that it IS as much pure speculation to view ALL the elites as enemies as would be to list them as allies. WE DON'T KNOW YET!
btw, sorry if i over use my emphasis on CAPITAL letters. =D
DrakeKobra 15:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
This argument is kind of pointless until the game comes out, plus we're taking up a lot of unnessecary space on the talk page. Also, it seems like both sides are saying the same thing, so this argument isn't really an argument...(go figure...) So... to sign off the end of a very long rant...
DrakeKobra 14:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Is ghosts of onyx canon? I haven't read any of the Halo novels but does Bungie view their canonicity as absolute? I mean that even novels written by people working for the makers can be retconned if the developer takes the storyline a different way in the future, right? I am just curious as to bungie's take on this. In my mind, however, the fact that humans work with the Arbiter is somewhat cancelled out by every single creature on High Charity attacking the Master Chief. I think the Arbiter's human friendliness is better explained by the fact that the PC killing humans is something that the Halo universe is yet to embrace outside of multiplayer

They said Forerunner was official, and look how it turned out.
On a Halo 3 picture, if you look at the left rear wheel of a warthog it says "PUMA". Red Vs Blue fans would know what I am talking about.

Hopefully, Bungie will also post the ad on their site for screen capturing. JAF1970 03:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
although the article says it, i'm pretty sure that the masterchief is holding a shotgun. i have watched it many times on my tv because i recorded it, and i am quite sure it is a shotgun he is holding in the new trailer. perhaps this should be changed. -jrass820 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jrass820 ( talk • contribs) 04:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

Darn. This would be awesome material...
Thanks man. The brute and wraith picture is kinda blurry, but it was in quick motion, so its fine.
Hmmmm... Well lets see. It was on Tv which its sole purpose is for advertising by COMERCIALS, It was during a ESPN Football game where they air COMMERCIALS, and that bungie themselves says its a COMMERCIAL on their site.
Added the strange shield device that MC slammed to the ground like a grenade. I called it an "Unnamed plasma shield device/grenade". Any word from Bungie on what it is? JAF1970 05:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm wondering what happens if someone is on the edge? Do they get pushed out? Does half their body get protected? Do they get cut in half? Also could you combine that with a grenade to concentrate the blast inside the shield? James086 Talk | Contribs 05:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Regardless, it seems to me the device is best used when assaulting a Wraith and its plasma cannon. It makes the Wraith a little less powerful since it has a relatively long reload time, and a player will be able to close the distance quickly after the cannon is expended. Got to wonder if they'll similarly balance the Scorpion. JAF1970 05:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Bubble Shield Device [6] - it has a name :) JAF1970 06:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't neccisarily say it has a short duration. It only dissapeared after the plasma the wraith shot hit it.
I've gone over the ad several times - and I can't hear Johnson's voice anywhere. It's listed as one of the voices in the article, but all I hear are Cortana, the girl from the grassy scene and two other male voices, neither of which sound like him. One of them is probably Stacker, but without confirmation it should still read "two voices". As for Johnson, he's nowhere. Bronzey 06:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Still can't hear him - I hear a voice that isn't Johnson say "Marines, fall back now!", then another one that sounds like Sgt. Stacker say "Any sign of the Chief?", then a third one say "Negative sir, I think we lost him". None of them are Johnson... maybe I'm missing something completely obvious. Bronzey 06:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I hear him. It's very quick - it's almost a grunt, but you can hear him if you listen hard. JAF1970 06:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I think I can hear it... Cortana says "Chief", then Johnson mumbles something that also sounds like "Chief". Meh. Bronzey 07:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I heard it. It's very quick, but you can tell it's johnson if you know when to listen.
Right before the gun is spun into view and before a marine says "Fall back now!" you can hear Johnson say "Chief". Right before the gun is shown, you may have to play it back a few times. TheSittingDuck 22:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Whoa, just realized the little girl has Cortana's voice, just a little higher pitched. :o JAF1970 18:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Ummm.. I really doubt that. You must have heard her when the BING was still going on in Chief's head. Thats audio adjustment, not voice acting.
The ad was shadow of the past the little girl was unidentified and the boy was little master chief
there is no possible way to determine if it was fantasy. from what i can tell the master chief was knicked out and he relived a childhood memory with unknown little girl. When he woke up he was still rememberin.
Judging from the wheels that got blown off the flipped-over vehicle behind Master Chief, the vehicle is more likely to be the ATV rather than a warthog as mentioned in the Halo 3 wiki article.
Can someone confirm? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.138.191 ( talk) 21:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
I noticed that the Master chief might no longer have the mysterious hammer space that every game charater has and a probable explanation for where they might go.
points of evidance: The Master chief is seen with more then one weapeon
A Sheild bomb, A Pistol and a Rifle
Now if you watch and listen closely you can see that the Master Chief places his Rifle on his back along with a sort of magnet sound which might point to weapons that you pick up ingame might always be visible on your back.
i'd just thought i write about it because no-one has yet
So he can carry four weapons now i guess. Two holster, one on back, and one in his hands. Maybe that is what the x button will be for. changing from single to duel wield weapons. Spartan282 04:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry but there are 13 brutes not 12 in the picture on the halo 3 article so someone should correct the mistake. Spartan282 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
yeah this guy is right i counted 13. -zach
Okay, this has nothing to do with editing the page, but check this out - apparently Mad World fits perfectly with the Halo 3 ad as well lol Mad Ring World JAF1970 15:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Yea, I'd like to know what this "General-Purpose Machine Gun" is. I think the SMG is the only machine gun in the game. Also why are things seen in the CGI commercial being added as weapons? I don't think some hammer some guy has should be in weapons, a long with a shield. Unless there are valid sources for believing this of course.-- Silent Xenocide 21:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I heard somewhere that the bubble shield will not be in the game. I'm not sure though. cyclosarin 09:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Look, there will be a beta yes, but that will only open this month. As for the demo is SPRING, that will actually be a public download on the xbox live marketplace. Dragong4 01:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
No, you can sign up for the beta now, which will take place during spring 2007. It won't be available for people to just download on the marketplace.--

06:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
It needs to be noted that the young boy is John, aka Master Chief, this is the first time we have ever seen his face regardless of age. This is known because its the chief who hears the little girls voice echo in his head. Also the little girl whispers to the chief, "Time to go." which is followed by Cortana saying "Chief, leave!" and then Sargent Johnson saying, "Chief?" these need to be added to the article entry, these all take place before the "I think we lost him." The little girl in the beginning could also be one of the female spartans mentioned in the books. Also on a side note as far as the "new" chieftan is concerned it is possible that Tartarus never died, as this is never seen in the end of Halo 2, and the Gravemind could have caught him like he did the Arbiter and the Chief. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Optronix ( talk • contribs) 13:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
makes sense, but the other quotes need to be added, the little girl whispering is very quiet, and can only be heard through headphones, as is the case with Srgt. Johnson —Preceding unsigned comment added by Optronix ( talk • contribs)

Look right up at the top in the centre of thee sky of that picture.
To me that looks like a spiked club or some new alien weapon (flying from someone's dead hands?), not a grenade. That looks big, like a sniper-rifle size, not grenade sized. James086 Talk | Contribs| Currently up for Editor Review! 12:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that looks like that Spike Grenade, or maybe even a club like James was talking about. Tonster User talk:Tonster 15:51, 29 October 2006 (UTC}
The spike gernade looks like a club. Pick up a copy of EGM, they have a good picture of it.
Bungie recently put up an article that explained three of the new multiplayer map screenshots. They said that the object at the top middle of the screen was a Spike Grenade. There is also a two per grenade limit, now. Blazing Dur 2:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

---Im not sure the final name for it will be "Man Cannon". The people at Bungie call it that and I quote(taken from the EGM's Halo 3 blow-out article): "We call it the Man Cannon becuase it makes us laugh."

I'm re-adding the Wraith to the vehicle list, it was confirmed by Bungie yesterday.

The Assault Rifle, is now called the MA5C Assault Rifle; don't change it back. darthbob 20:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC) [4]
The Combat Knife hasn't been confirmed, but hasn't been denied yet. I figure we should either keep it out altogether or put in a notation that it's just rumored. As for the DB shotgun and the Spectre, nothing there yet. Though the Shotgun might as well be confirmed (Double Barrel or not), since it's one of the most popular guns in the game. Also, Bungie mentioned the variant "Zombies", which is played with shotguns, in this month's EGM. Quadrius 19:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Why do people keep changing "Spiker" back to "Spike Rifle"? Both Bungie and EGM have consistently called the new Brute gun the Spiker. Also, it is what it is commonly known as around fan forums, esp. at Bungie.net and halo.bungie.org. It should be left as "Spiker" for this wiki article. JGoodman 08:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Bungie addresses fan complaints with Halo 3.

Zabrak 01:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to thank whoever cleaned up my trivia addition. Bungies been known to do this and the Marathon symbol has been spotted countless times in both previous Halos so this is likely permanent.
There are two distinct emblems on the side of the AR, as can be plainly seen in the Campaign screenshot. The Marathon emblem can be seen embossed on the rifle just above the trigger guard, while the glowing green power button is located further up the rifle. Do not claim that the Marathon logo is also the power button. - Jason, 4:10 EST
I might be wrong here, but the PS3 has been released, and Halo 3 hasn't. An edit of the section regarding this rumor needs to be made. Quadrius 19:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Something else needs to be mentioned in regards to the release date. Bungie has said nothing regarding a release date. Not a specific day, not a specific month, not a specific season or quarter. All they've said is the vague "2007". Granted, the annoucement that a public beta will come out in the Spring means that the game will not likely come out anytime in the first half of 2007 (definitely not Q1) and narrows the possible range of release dates down to Q3 or Q4, but that's all it does. People really need to stop adding things like "Holiday 2007" or "November 2007". All we know is that Halo 3 will come out next year some time after the public beta. "TBA 2007" should suffice for a release. JGoodman 07:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
In addition to the normal released game there will be a Legendary Edition and a Collector's Edition released, (source = http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg.dll?p=agg&sql=1:51211, http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg.dll?p=agg&sql=1:51212, if that does not work go to allgames.com and type halo into the search space)

I understand the preorder thing, but shouldn't the enemies/allies page be listed as what we know about it so far, and change it accordingly if it would be wrong? I mean all we now are a few leaks and the knowledge gathered from the last game. It probably should be listed as how we KNOW it was until we KNOW if the Covenant turns. Besides if they do turn, it would be a bad decision for them, because they wouldn't have ANY allies, plus the marines/spartans and the Covenent elites (Arbiter, Hunters, Jackals, Elites, and Grunts) both have the same goal(s): prevent the index from being activated, destroy the Flood, and destroy the Brutes and the Prophet of Truth. Leaving them as enemies would be guessing, listing them as allies would be better, because so far We KNOW they are on our side from last game. If you want a reference, play the last lvl of HALO 2.
and you spelled "for" wrong.
DrakeKobra 22:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
I guess you're right, but i thought the elites were on the humans side to keep the index from being activated. Wait, how do you know that the elites aren't on our side. it could be either way. ...starting to wonder about the benifits of an enemies page...

Elites have not aligned with humans. According to Halo: Ghosts of Onyx the Elites are still very hostile toward humanity, even as of the conclusion of Halo 2. Peptuck 04:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

=============================== - Your Ass, My Size-24 Hoof - ===============================
>> Crush any Brutes in your path.
You start off with a few choices. You can either take the Wraith, Spectre, or a Ghost that will engage you up ahead. For starters, I chose the Wraith for its superior firepower and the fact that I utterly despise the Spectre. Anyway, begin to move through the area following your Commander. Various Brutes will appear in Ghosts. Hijack one if you'd or like or blast the crap out of all of them. Move your vehicle through the forest floor taking down any Ghosts that get in your way....
Have your team of newly escaped Elites and Hunters help you knock out the remaining Brutes. With the Hunters help, they should be easily killed off. The door will lead you into another hallway which in turn, leads you to the platform with the Scarab. However, there are numerous Brutes here which need some schooling. Surprisingly, there are Marines here... to help you! The Scarab is just ahead...
You are the arbiter; read last paragraph ( surprisingly there are marines here... TO HELP YOU!)

(for references look for The Great Journey)
....*Now that Tartarus has died the horrible death, and the perimeter is secure,
Daughter Keyes leaps onto the center platform and pulls the Icon out of the launcher. Disaster averted. The Halo abort sequence is initiated, and a small explosion results. Another twist is added to the story. Because of the abort sequence being initiated, the Halo ring has split into several different subsections, each which can be remotely detonated aboard the Forerunner ship. Oh boy. The Arbiter joins with the Marines to help fight off the chance of a threat.*
- From here on, the credits display showing the entire Bungie staff and associates responsible for Halo 2. Afterwards, if you wait, another movie is shown....
The Arbiter JOINS with the Marines to help fight off the chance of a threat!
If you notice this happens at the end of the game, signaling that at least for a while, the Covenant elites ( not brutes) are on OUR SIDE.

DrakeKobra 21:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
This is not evidence of an alliance; it is evidence of a single group of Elites and humans fighting side by side against a mutual threat, with no indications it will hold. In Halo: Ghosts of Onyx the Elites are still hostile toward humans even during the civil war and afterward on Onyx. Peptuck 02:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Who said anything about the alliance or whatever you want to call it holding? All i said was that since the index is still in danger of being activated, the elites will fight side by side no matter if both sides depise each other, until the index is destroyed or in no danger of being activated. Then after they are destroyed, the humans and aliens an go back to senselessly beating each others brains out.
Also, rember that this is the END of an epic video game trilogy, so ingame sometime, keep in mind, it finishes with Halo 3, whether we allie, bcome neutral, destroy the covenant, or humanity is wiped off the face of the earth (and/or wherever else we are).
I'm hoping the first happens, or at least the last option does not.
DrakeKobra 21:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Thats what I'm saying, since they have to be on our side UNTIL index is deactivated, then TEMPORARILY the Arbiter and HIS group of elites should be (for now) "allies" I didn't say anything about the "vast majority of blahblahblah" im talking about the Arbiter, his Hunters, his Jackals, His ELites, and his grunts. Its even stated that SGT. Johnson "hates the Arbiters guts" But (read carefully) is FORCED to work with the Arbiter and his team to DEACTIVATE the INDEX(ES). the BRUTES and the rest of the elites are in all manners hostile against everyone else. THe ARBITER is CURRENTLY on our side. (CURRENTLY) being the key word in that sentence. plus i get the feeling that not everyone on this talk forum has an NPOV. if you did you would see that it IS as much pure speculation to view ALL the elites as enemies as would be to list them as allies. WE DON'T KNOW YET!
btw, sorry if i over use my emphasis on CAPITAL letters. =D
DrakeKobra 15:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
This argument is kind of pointless until the game comes out, plus we're taking up a lot of unnessecary space on the talk page. Also, it seems like both sides are saying the same thing, so this argument isn't really an argument...(go figure...) So... to sign off the end of a very long rant...
DrakeKobra 14:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Is ghosts of onyx canon? I haven't read any of the Halo novels but does Bungie view their canonicity as absolute? I mean that even novels written by people working for the makers can be retconned if the developer takes the storyline a different way in the future, right? I am just curious as to bungie's take on this. In my mind, however, the fact that humans work with the Arbiter is somewhat cancelled out by every single creature on High Charity attacking the Master Chief. I think the Arbiter's human friendliness is better explained by the fact that the PC killing humans is something that the Halo universe is yet to embrace outside of multiplayer

Thanks man. The brute and wraith picture is kinda blurry, but it was in quick motion, so its fine.
Hmmmm... Well lets see. It was on Tv which its sole purpose is for advertising by COMERCIALS, It was during a ESPN Football game where they air COMMERCIALS, and that bungie themselves says its a COMMERCIAL on their site.
Added the strange shield device that MC slammed to the ground like a grenade. I called it an "Unnamed plasma shield device/grenade". Any word from Bungie on what it is? JAF1970 05:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm wondering what happens if someone is on the edge? Do they get pushed out? Does half their body get protected? Do they get cut in half? Also could you combine that with a grenade to concentrate the blast inside the shield? James086 Talk | Contribs 05:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Regardless, it seems to me the device is best used when assaulting a Wraith and its plasma cannon. It makes the Wraith a little less powerful since it has a relatively long reload time, and a player will be able to close the distance quickly after the cannon is expended. Got to wonder if they'll similarly balance the Scorpion. JAF1970 05:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Bubble Shield Device [6] - it has a name :) JAF1970 06:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't neccisarily say it has a short duration. It only dissapeared after the plasma the wraith shot hit it.
I've gone over the ad several times - and I can't hear Johnson's voice anywhere. It's listed as one of the voices in the article, but all I hear are Cortana, the girl from the grassy scene and two other male voices, neither of which sound like him. One of them is probably Stacker, but without confirmation it should still read "two voices". As for Johnson, he's nowhere. Bronzey 06:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Still can't hear him - I hear a voice that isn't Johnson say "Marines, fall back now!", then another one that sounds like Sgt. Stacker say "Any sign of the Chief?", then a third one say "Negative sir, I think we lost him". None of them are Johnson... maybe I'm missing something completely obvious. Bronzey 06:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I hear him. It's very quick - it's almost a grunt, but you can hear him if you listen hard. JAF1970 06:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I think I can hear it... Cortana says "Chief", then Johnson mumbles something that also sounds like "Chief". Meh. Bronzey 07:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I heard it. It's very quick, but you can tell it's johnson if you know when to listen.
Right before the gun is spun into view and before a marine says "Fall back now!" you can hear Johnson say "Chief". Right before the gun is shown, you may have to play it back a few times. TheSittingDuck 22:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Whoa, just realized the little girl has Cortana's voice, just a little higher pitched. :o JAF1970 18:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Ummm.. I really doubt that. You must have heard her when the BING was still going on in Chief's head. Thats audio adjustment, not voice acting.
The ad was shadow of the past the little girl was unidentified and the boy was little master chief
there is no possible way to determine if it was fantasy. from what i can tell the master chief was knicked out and he relived a childhood memory with unknown little girl. When he woke up he was still rememberin.
Judging from the wheels that got blown off the flipped-over vehicle behind Master Chief, the vehicle is more likely to be the ATV rather than a warthog as mentioned in the Halo 3 wiki article.
Can someone confirm? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.138.191 ( talk) 21:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
I noticed that the Master chief might no longer have the mysterious hammer space that every game charater has and a probable explanation for where they might go.
points of evidance: The Master chief is seen with more then one weapeon
A Sheild bomb, A Pistol and a Rifle
Now if you watch and listen closely you can see that the Master Chief places his Rifle on his back along with a sort of magnet sound which might point to weapons that you pick up ingame might always be visible on your back.
i'd just thought i write about it because no-one has yet
So he can carry four weapons now i guess. Two holster, one on back, and one in his hands. Maybe that is what the x button will be for. changing from single to duel wield weapons. Spartan282 04:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry but there are 13 brutes not 12 in the picture on the halo 3 article so someone should correct the mistake. Spartan282 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
yeah this guy is right i counted 13. -zach
Okay, this has nothing to do with editing the page, but check this out - apparently Mad World fits perfectly with the Halo 3 ad as well lol Mad Ring World JAF1970 15:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Yea, I'd like to know what this "General-Purpose Machine Gun" is. I think the SMG is the only machine gun in the game. Also why are things seen in the CGI commercial being added as weapons? I don't think some hammer some guy has should be in weapons, a long with a shield. Unless there are valid sources for believing this of course.-- Silent Xenocide 21:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

It needs to be noted that the young boy is John, aka Master Chief, this is the first time we have ever seen his face regardless of age. This is known because its the chief who hears the little girls voice echo in his head. Also the little girl whispers to the chief, "Time to go." which is followed by Cortana saying "Chief, leave!" and then Sargent Johnson saying, "Chief?" these need to be added to the article entry, these all take place before the "I think we lost him." The little girl in the beginning could also be one of the female spartans mentioned in the books. Also on a side note as far as the "new" chieftan is concerned it is possible that Tartarus never died, as this is never seen in the end of Halo 2, and the Gravemind could have caught him like he did the Arbiter and the Chief. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Optronix ( talk • contribs) 13:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
makes sense, but the other quotes need to be added, the little girl whispering is very quiet, and can only be heard through headphones, as is the case with Srgt. Johnson —Preceding unsigned comment added by Optronix ( talk • contribs)
