I apologize, I'm so far back on the H3 info I end up asking poor-quality questions.

Once you get them, you will be able to turn each effect on and off in the menu, then you can play with that effect.

So, it's not like the Halo 2 skulls. Once you get the skull once, you have the ability to toggle the effects of the skull forever? Finally. It was a complete waste of time in Halo 2, because they only lasted as long as your xbox was on :p. I miss the "make-your-enemies-explode-with-a-headshot" skull.

I was rather happy to hear about details surrounding skulls. Not a whole lot that hasn't already been gathered, but the summary and explanation was excellent.

Exactly what Tural said. Also I think that they are talking about the 7-11 right next to my house.

Looks fancy...I like how the statistics for matches are fairly detailed compared to Halo 2's.

*gasp* a question mark gun!

Other than that, the stats system looks very good.

Silly Scotty, that's a Guardian kill. (It was also a Power Drainer kill in the Beta)

Bungie.net relaunches tomorrow. Don't know if that means they're actually doing the full new design, or just getting ready for it.
http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx ... &cid=12792

Relaunch done. The Halo 3 sections are going to be disabled until around/after Sunday at noon, however.

New ViDoc and stuff on saved films.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure that one clip at the end involving the Gravity Hammer and the rocket is... nice. 8)

I'm still kinda confused. Can you make a party with your friends and start a ranked playlist like Team Slayer?
