[quote name='King']There is one cool one with a comic style Master Chief, I'll try to get that one up when he comes back online.[/quote]
So once you boot the game up the first time, your account has access to these? Or do you have to get them off the disc...i'm assuming that are on the server and your 360.

Here is a video that shows the number of armor variants ( it doesn't actually show any new armor though). It also shows some of the new maps, the guys making it are tools and it's not that great of a video.

Major spoilers
So, we start off with Cortana telling us why she picked John 117, and what he had that no one but her saw: Luck. We then witness our dear Spartan crashlanding into a jungle. Sergeant Major what's-his-name (the cool black dude everyone's so fond of) and his squad pick John up and bring him back to normal, at which point he also gets to see the Arbiter again, and find out that "they're with us now". You then fight yourself back to base, where Master Chief barely gets briefed before the whole place is overrun by Covenant forces. You get to shoot some guns and throw some 'nades and before you know it you've armed a bomb that's gonna blow the whole place to smithereens. Enter: Level 3, where you're going hog wild with the Warthog, racing down highways, beating stuff up, et cetera. You do a bunch of semi-important "oh and btw uhh new objective" stuff such as taking down an Anti Air cannon, while the Covenant is still digging happily into whatever the hell it is that's buried deep under Africa.
And then they light it. Now, the general theory is that, duh, that's The Ark, and it's here on Earth, and goddamn did the Prophet of Truth just fire all the goddamn rings in the entire universe from The Ark? But **** us, we were all wrong. Turns out that wasn't really The Ark after all! Instead, it lighted up the sky, and brought upon us a mother****in black hole teleport portal, which some Covenant ships dive into to figure out just what the **** is going on. However, there's a ship coming out of the portal as well ...
Yes. The ****ing flood, they're back again, and goddamn if you're not gonna backtrack through the area you just finished to fight some more flood. I'm being completely honest when I say that they're not nearly as annoying as before. Could be that you now actually have people on your side as well, could be that they're better balanced, could be lots of things. Anyway, you eventually board the godawful ship the crashed into your beautiful planet, and lo and behold, there's a message from Cortana aboard. feihtetalocohc

message detail Basically, she's saying that the solution to all this is through that portal, and that we must risk everything, blabla. Seing as Master Chief is one charismatic bastard, we go through, and my oh my, end up at some distant place in space, at another Forerunner built structure: No, not another Halo, but The Ark. It's kinda similar to the Halos, in that it's created by the Forerunners, but has a different shape I'm not quite sure how to describe. You crashland and fight some covenant ****, revisit places that remind you alot of Halo (you need to get a cortagropher, for example) and pull some wires to get inside some important places, and you even team up with the flood while you're rushing the Prophet of Truth (which is just chillaxin here at The Ark), which the Arbiter eventually kills. So yay, right? No, not yay, not yay at all actually, because Gravemind and the Flood just turned evil again, and goddammit you're so tired of this ****, and then another, unfinished Halo replacement ring (yes, yes, yes) rises up from the ocean of The Ark. So you're thinking "oh **** lets get out of here Gravemind is here remember" but then you're all like "oh **** Cortana I miss her" and you go on a journey deep within this hellhole to find Cortana, and you do. So you get the **** off the Ark, get on the Ring, meet up with 343 Guilty Spark at one point as well, and you're gonna light the ****er. As you guys remember, you need all 7 rings to blow up the universe, while a single ring will just blow up **** that's in its immidiate vicinity. So you board the goddamn ring (also forgot to mention, but that female captain you work closely with? Yeah, Prophet of Truth killed her), and the Flood is dropping pods on your ass like nobody's business, but you meet up with that black Sergeant Major (Johnson, is that his name? I'm real bad at names, sorry) and you're all set to activate the ring when 343 proclaims the ring to be ready in "a couple of days". After realising that you don't actually have a couple of days, **** goes bad and 343 tries to kill you all. However, you are the hero and therefore you win. However, activating the ring prematurely will result in not only the destruction of everything that's close by, but also, tadada, The Ark, for some reason. This however is just dandy, seing as Gravemind is still on the goddamn Ark.
So you activate it, and run like ****. PS: Johnson died. And so, the best ****ing finale they could have ever pulled off: The last section is a getaway on a warthog, just like in Halo. And goddamn, it's glorious. There's no timer (except Cortana frantically yelling "go go go go!" all the time), and even some checkpoints en route. So you barely make it, land in the ship Johnson left behind, Arbiter gets in the driving seat and speeds off towards the portal.
So, cut to memorial on Earth, where it's revealed that, yes, Master Chief is in fact dead. However, The Arbiter made it, which seems kinda funky, right? He also says something along the lines of "were it only so easy" when the General proclaims that The Arbiter was with him when he died.

message detail But wait, just like in this post, there's more after the credits! Turns out the Portal got blown up as well, and only half the ship made it through (ie Arbiter making it to earth, as he was in the driving seat up front, while Cortana and MC were chillin in the back), and yay, MC is still alive. Cortana drops a beacon but says it might be years before anyone picks it up. MC however, says '**** dat" and goes into hypersleep in a pod like the one you woke up from in Halo, with his final words being someting along the lines of "Call on me when you need me". I forgot to mention, but along the way you fight several of those badass walkers you took down one of in Halo 2, visit areas almost identical to areas in Halo, participate in some huge badass battles, and generally having a good time. And no, you don't see his face, the Warthog getaway is the last gameplay sequence (before that it's just flood in corridors), and .. yeah.

wow, this thread's been ruined. unsubscribe ftw.
Also, the game is going to ship with 11 maps for multiplayer:
Construct - haven't seen it, but I'm hoping for something like Headlong
Epitaph
Guardian
Isolation - I don't think anyone has seen it
The Pit - pretty sure noone's seen this
Last Resort
Snowbound
Sandtrap
Valhalla
Narrows
Highground

Should I or should I not look at that ending.??? I don't even know if I"m going to pick this up or not but I know that will pretty much ruin any chance of me playing single player ( just like what happened when I spoiled the bioshock ending for myself ).
I won't do it.
I won't do it.
I am getting one of the 2 but am unsure of which to get, here is my dilemna :
1. Elite has the huge 120GB hd which is sweet.
2. Halo 3 ediiton supposedly has better heatsink and cooling as well as chip, also for resale sake if the original halo xbox is any indication, resale value should be slightly more though I can't find where the production numbers are. Obviously if they make a huge allotment of them it wont matter but if they are a limited run then obviously it will be worth more.
I have a 57" 1080P DLP from Mitsubishi and no surround sound so the optical out isn't a big deal. Just wanted some of your alls opinions, I am getting one in about 1 hour so please post with your thoughts, thanks !

Personally, I'd go with the Elite. Although you can always upgrade the Hard drive on the Halo 3 edition.
[quote name='KingBroly']How about the post be deleted outright? Spoiler tags are VERY HARD to turn away from.[/QUOTE]
No. That crosses the line. I'm all for being hardline about liberal use of spoiler tags. But not allowing discussion because you don't have the self-control not to view something? Screw that.

Elite would be my choice....OR, just buy a surround sound system 
Get a 360 premium since your willing to settle for the lack of extra features of the halo 360. In addition, it most likely will not end up having the 65nm chips it will probably break and you'll end up with a premium anyway cause its a limited model. Save your money on a surround sound system it will make you happier than the extra 100 gigs.
