The situations where PV is under powered may be scenarios where the game is moving fairly quickly. Slower games (i.e infested with campers) benefit much more from PV, not only that, a team with good map control should be able to overpower their PV using adversaries. While a still player can't be seen on radar, PV can still see them. The largest problem with PV seems to be the ability for the user to completely avoid and gauge encounters.

Lol wuttt. I have seen more and more people start to play halo 3 recently..
Yes, 10 is more than 8.
lol true.. I know halo 3 isn't "alive" but it is not dead, dead was 8 months ago. I would say a fair comparison to halo 3's population would be a person in a coma.
Halo Reach is in fact a setup for the reveal of the ancient evil, which is Armor Lock.
Throughout the campaign you will be fighting the Promethean embodiment's of several Armor Abilities ranging from Sprint (Knight) Jetpack (Watcher) etc.
Then the Final Boss, Armor Lock.
Bias ended up on the Forerunner Dreadnought Truth took to the Ark. Last we see of him, he's communicating through the Terminals on Installation 04B.
What happens to him after that is unknown, but it's unlikely he escaped.

They were most likely talking about its functionality and not its current iteration (tweaks).
Don't quote me on this, but I believe it was said that the recharge rate took longer and its depletion was quicker. It's functionality is still the same, therefore their statement, one that I agree with, still stands.
This has always bothered me.
Side note: would be neat if 343 went bananas with Challenge and jackpot payouts for the last few months of Reach's run, until Halo 4 lands. I'll hit Inheritor without it, but it would still be fun.
New rule: you can't make Halo Community threads without reading the HBO front page.
there's the catch
can an AI truly be evil (not just rampant)?
the terminals also show that MB wants to redeem himself (by helping MC), which doesn't really speak for an evil nature.
i'll buy and eat a hat if the ancient evil isn't precursor/flood related.

Question for those of you up to date on the fiction, is there any chance Jun every makes another appearance in the games? I'm guessing no but just wanted to ask.

Was it ever revealed – or figured out reasonably enough – what Mendicant Bias did to help out the Chief? Did he delay the firing of the rings? Did he redirect the Chief to Requiem?

Poster revoked.
That'd be pretty cool. The cR payouts need to go up, in general. I think I'm currently sitting at something like 70 days straight of hitting the cR cap if I want Inheritor. I've never hit the credit cap.
The Grunt bonus challenge week was pretty good to me though.
But like you said, a CRAZYGONUTS cR rainstorm would be a pretty nice sendoff.
edit: and make Halo 3 permanently double EXP globally minus 7 on the 7th
Nope. Never stated. I honestly can't think of what he could have possibly done.
On that note, what happened to the Dreadnought? We know Truth "went to ground", but was there a place for Keyship docking on the Ark? Was it destroyed or infested, or abandoned?

If it is ever revealed that another party (Didact, Librarian, Timeless One, Mendicant Bias, etc, whatever...) influenced any of the events of the original trilogy, my head will explode...EXPLODE.

Didact altered the Pillar of Autumns jump from Reach so they WOULD discover Halo and begin their path to reclamation. You all heard it here first.

Whatever he did, whenever I play "Halo (3)" on Legendary, I always take the time to read the terminal, so I can have these words fresh in my mind:
I think it adds a certain mood and a sense of finality to the level.

I''m not the biggest BF3 fan, but they know how to make awesome MP trailers. Halo 4 needs something like this closer to launch.

Didn't Cortana knowingly set the coordinates for that jump based off a Forerunner artifact?

No what I said is fact.

Depends. Are you talking about the book or the game? In the book, IIRC, it was more of a guess a lucky accident while in Reach it was more intentional.
1) not sure how he helped chief during H3, but i like to think that he's the reason why Chief winds up at Requiem and the Arbiter at earth
2) pretty sure it was destroyed when chief blew up the Ark.
so true.
Ok. It's been forever since I read the book so it's all a little fuzzy. Point is she influenced the jump, so ending up at Halo was already non-random.

Just finished Ep 6 of HaloGAF Radio. Tunavi, we'll get you in next
Also, Wu, these guys were making fun of you but I totally had your back.
No Tunavi, no listen. Who recorded then?
1) Huh, never thought of that. Hmm. Interesting.
2) Was the Ark actually destroyed and not just damaged?
3) I still want to know what Sharquoi are. Mentioned in the Conversation from the Universe booklet (which is canonical, IIRC) but not mentioned anywhere else ever again.

With a little dub a game trailer is more exciting. My brother remixes game trailers with dub some are pretty good.

I'm mostly talking about the the gameplay moments they capture. It is all high octane moments, no downtime.

Frankie wrote most of Conversations, and he suggested that there was still stuff to be gleaned from it. Don't give up hope.
ETA?
I've waited nearly ten years, i can wait a few more. But after that...
Hmm.
I guess i'll pay a visit to 343i place and flip Frankie's table. EDIT unless it it bolted on the floor. Then i don't know what i do. Nothing i guess.

What the fuck, The Halo Council was attacked?? What the hell is up with douche bags on the internet today!
I might get on too.
Sitting down to eat finally, then I'll have to pour the beverages...give me like 30?
It's way too easy. Within 2 months of Fire Team Zulu being online, it got DDoS'd once and then spambots started breaking the reCAPTCHA.
I eventually had to just end up blacklisting the entirety of Russia from reaching the site.

I like to believe MB is a part of the reason why MC and Cortana (coincidentally) ended up in Requiem.
Also the key ship and MB wasn't clarified of the outcome to Installation 04B's Premature Firing on 00.

Been down mostly since Monday, we switched servers and they continued their attacks on the new site. From the looks of it, it seems like a community of people based in the States.
