How many campaign levels are there supposed to be in the final version/limited edition and how many skirmish maps are there going to be? Also will we be able to play against other humans/people on xbox live in the full version?

Get the demo, there about 10 multiplayer maps.

And to check the the number of Campaign maps, measure the size of one of the titles in the mission selection, then count how many will fit in the space provided.

k thanks

You're kidding, right? Look at Halo 3, I mean it may not be developed by the same people, but there's much more space for more campaign levels, yet there's only 10. Also, currently there are 15 multiplayer maps.

I think it's 22 SP levels, each one is clocked in at about a goal time of 15-30 minutes.

People were whining about the campaign being short, why? I mean, it's a demo, you're not supposed to get a lot in a demo. So i think the campaign is pretty big. By the looks of those trailers on youtube, it will be awesome (another reason for me to buy a xbox 360).

have you seen they're cinematics on a xbox 360? or on a crappy computer that lags when you try good quality on youtube? because the graphics are the best, and even gameplay graphics are good. especially the bsps. and the bases and other larger objects.

EDIT: Dude ever since you've joinded here you havnt been giving a good first impression...i dont like you. ill help you iff you need help but i dont like yor attitude. first impression counts...

Yah, its either 2 campaign levels, or 1 campaign level.

And I think we all preferred the former, so everyone who whines about it being too short, stop whining about it being too short! A demo is supposed to give you a taste of what's instore for you when you get the game.

I don't remember seeing the T&R anywhere after Keyes. Plus, the T&R wasn't the only Covenant ship their, according to The Pillar of Autumn and the opening cutscene of Halo 2.

Considering the T&R wasn't the ship in the level Keyes. It was a crashed cruiser.

I'm about 80% sure of this.

The game doesn't specify, but the book said they retook the T&R.



Uh, what are you trying to say? On T&R they think Halo is a super weapon, in H2 and H3 they think it will bring them on the great journey. It's a contradiction with the original mythology of the first game. The ship was destroyed by or when the halo blew, you can't make the argument the crew of T&R learned the truth about the ring.

I'm not saying the T&R crew found out, but one of the other ships may have.

In halo 1 they thought it was a weapon, yes. With, "vast, unimaginable power."

That doesn't mean they didn't think it would send them on a journey. It was a weapon to them. It would cleanse the universe. (Even though it only covers the galaxy)

Cortana also says it had deep religious significance to them. So there you go.

Wait how do you control a scarab in the demo??? Someone said in this topic that u can control a scarab in heroic? is that in skirmish or SP?

@recycle bin what is your xfire?
Edited by pakar45 on Feb 9, 2009 at 06:14 PM

I think you need to get the full tech tree.

Wait do you get to use it on the UNSC because if u don't how would u play as the covenant?

EDIT: also how long will the demo last?? will it be like the halo 3 beta where it will only last a week???

EDIT X2: is it in SP or skirmish?

It is covenant only. You need to upgrade to the age of reclamation, and have 20 free army space, as well as 3000 supplies.

To play as the covenant, select your team before the game, switch it to covenant. Switch the other team (AI) to UNSC if you want.

Tell that to the spartans that hijacked my only scarab, and annihilated me D:

They can Hijack Scarabs?

They can hijack anything :/

they can't take over Scarabs or Vultures.

OMG I NEVER KNEW THAT NOW IM GOING TO BE PLAYING THIS FOR YEARS!!! THANKS!



EDIT: ohwai- listen do you have to be on heroic difficulty to make the scarab or can u be on normal?
Edited by pakar45 on Feb 9, 2009 at 10:01 PM

Pretty sure you can do it on any difficulty.

I never tried to make a Spartan jack a Scarab before... Every time one of my Spartans got close, it sent giant green lasers at it...

You would probably have to have three spartans to take over a Scarab. I mean, seriously, it's a scarab. They'd need someway of balancing it out.

Wait what is the covenants version of the reactor? Because i need to know to make more so i can spawn heavier objects/equipment. is it bases shield generators or what???

Its the temple.

Y are the consoles hogging all the Halo? Its not fair. We're the only ones keeping the original halo alive. No console gives a crap about it. You'd think bungie would respect us a little more.

Another PCer for Lifer. If Microsoft is thinking what I'm thinking (which is to make money any way possible), then they will obviously, and eventually, port Halo 3 and Halo Wars onto the PC, as well as Halo: Recon (not ODST because that is a gay and geeky name!! >:( ). Of course it would have been a lot better for PC gamers if it had occurred around the same time, instead of two or three years after the release.

EDIT: Also, scarabs and vultures cannot be hijacked/piloted by spartans at all. And scarabs can be built at any difficulty, by both the player and AI as well. Lol that reminds me of the time when I was dominating the Covenant with like 10-15 Scorpions, Elephants, Warthogs and Hornets, and some infantrymen, and right under my nose, they were constructing a scarab. When it finally spawned...well, let's just say that the game did not end nicely...

yet the MC...owai :P

My games don't last more than 10 mins how'd you guys manage to fight against the AI using Scarabs?

My games last 30-40 minutes. Sometimes around the 30 minute mark they bring them in.

Listen How come when im creating a temple it says 0/1 and then I can't spawn anymore temples please help!

Upgrade to another age in the temple. It adds another power thing, like if you built another reactor at the unsc.
