Now, you can be a part of the unofficial sequel to The Wizard with this video direct from the competition. Though the audience gets pretty pumped whenever they see new weapons like the flame thrower, the excitement when the sword is brought into play is palpable. The battle continues after the jump.

the sword is one of the reasons i was not too big on halo2 multi player.one hit kills with someone hiding behind a wall with a sword does not look all that enjoyable to me. it's worse than sniping and everybody hates those guys. i didn't play the beta but assume there will be an option on multiplayer where we can chose the weapons we want to play with, ala everything but swords.

Also, this time around, Bungie has chosen to keep the 'ammo' aspect of the sword in multiplayer as well. So a player who has the sword during a multiplayer game will only have a set amount of kills they could get before the sword 'expires'.
And yeah there will be an option to not include the sword... or change the sword placement (and even 'ammo' limit) around the map using the Forge... heck you could even place a bunch of fusion cores (the exploding barrels) around the sword on the your own custom map, so that there's an added danger of being blown to bits for anybody rushing in to get the sword when it spawns.
I would have loved that option if it had of been in Halo 2 Midship map... the sword was devestating on that map, in my opinion.

i agree that it's a good thing they gave it ammo, but i think 10 is still too much, its still easy to use and while a noob would probably only get 3 kills with that, a good player should get 10 kills no prob.
i think 7 or 8 would have been a more reasonable number... but then again, at least it's not unlimited like before, so i guess i can't complain.

ezkial you might have gotten first place if it was only halo 3. These guys made it to the final round because they were better at the other game challenges. Halo 3 is only the game challenge for the final round.

The screeming reminded me of Bills fans cheering and whooping it up for every 3 yard play.

@jadnice: You're kind of slow aren't you? When two people are playing, and you're only watching one of the screens, there may in fact be other more exciting stuff happening on the other screen!

Are you sure this was from the omeganauts? The character names are BetaFrankie and Lukems, who are bungie people.... could this have just been a demo video? Or were they just using their alias'?

it is from Omegathon. At about 0:58 into the second vid the announcer says "MNCDover in the lead".

Oh look, there are people that get bored by something, what a suprise that something doesn't appeal to everyone. I think MGS is dull and the main focus of MGS (which is cutscenes) is boring, but that's ok, because I understand that people's preferences are different.

Started slow, but then got fairly interesting. Still, I want to see some video of the singleplayer.

Here's a single player video that demonstrates what will probably be one of the most used new features of Halo: Saved Films (if you haven't seen them already):

Wow, another mention of people with abusive language that play Halo online, here be an idea, mute them. :D
Seriously, there are assholes on all onlines games, casual gamers are racist assholes and the 'pros' deem themselves higher then everyone else.

from watching the video, you would think all those people played halo for the first time today. They cheered for ever sword slash. A guy picks up a fuel rod gun they cheer. He hits a man cannon they cheer.
WTf. Have they not played the h3 beta? I mean I think halo 3 is great and all, but a 1v1 in that craptacular hallway level does not look fun at all. And even if it was fun, why all the cheering like they never seen the game before? The announcer was like.. oooo flame grenades. OMG LOOK, somethings about to go down. It sounded so stupid.

I love how the only people who get to play new levels + use new weapons are complete idiots who've never played Halo before in their life.
