The Halo Thread
 

Well, it's been done before. But since the old Halo thread, which you may or may not remember, hasn't been used in over a year I decided it was time for a new one. Feel free to talk about Halo 3, Halo Wars, the future of the Halo movie or even the past two games here.
BUT there is one important thing I think I should mention - at the risk of appearing to have a closed mind, I would encourage people who actualy don't like Halo not to post such comments here - in a nutshell, we know. Halo is not the greatest thing in the world, and you don't have to like it. But provoking an argument about it is not doing ANYTHING but stiring shit. And if that's all you say, then that's all you're doing, with reasons or without. Having your own opinion is fine, and it's OK to talk about - but doing that in a forum thread for fans is like... well, I can't think of a good metaphor, but hopefuly you get the idea already.
For everyone else, just to complete what I said in the previous paragraph, don't be provoked. They may give reasons for why they don't like the game, but above all it's off topic - this isn't a thread for if you like Halo or not.

Now - to the meat of the subject. I must say, just to start off the topic, that I've been wondering what the feel of H3 is going to be like - possibly I'm talking about physics here, with the loopy feel of Halo 1 (Nade throws and Warthog handling) compared to the more solid feeling of Halo 2. Hey, for that matter - which did you prefer?

Mergage please...

Anyway...
Isn't the Master Chief I heard going to be played by Vin Diessel? (Spell check??) ANd, If I have heard correctly isn't Halo 3 going to be called ForeRunners or something?

Nope, Nope, and Nope. Stop believiing street-scuttlebutt.

Right, right and absoulutely right. :fuzemb:

why don't they just get steve downes to act and do his voice? can you really imagine vin desiels voice come outta mc's visor :S

XP Its a bloody rumour, Stephan!

Actually, the rumor concerns The Halo Movie, which, because of those pussy movie studios backing out, is on hold until further notice.

People were saying that Vin Diesel would be the man behind the MC's suit, because of his excellent action movies, most noticibly Pitch Black and te Chronicles of Riddik, both of which I quite liked.

Halo Wars seems lik an attempt at milking the Halo franchise, except that it will probably be a good knock-off.

Halo 3 is what I am intensly excited about. I've already applied for the Halo 3 beta, and I'm hoping I get it.

Aw, dammit. Didn't see the Halo 3 preview thread. Sorry 'bout that.

There was some rumor about Denzel Washington being MC a while back. However, that is most likely what it was a rumor. Plus, production has halted since the studios pulled out, WETA was still working on actual models of weapons and the Warthog etc though.

The Halo film should be CG. Then, the originial voice actors could use the respective characters without damaging the feel like so many poorly done video-game adaptions to film.

Who the hell said Halo 3 was called 'ForeRunners'? And Halo Wars looks tasty but the trailer wasn't an in-game graphic engine.
