The mystery of the Assualt Rifle

[DrXThirst]

Well, ever since the beta, once thing that has caught my eye in every video and keeps be wondering everytime I see it is the arrow above the ammo counter (ON THE AR) it makes me wonder if it's leading us somewhere.

You can see it in all 3 of these videos :

1. Multiplayer Montage
2. Single Player Montage
3. Random People Playing

I think it was in Halo 1 as well, however in Halo 3 it might lead us somewhere. To one of the skulls maybe? What about multiplayer? Many questions have been asked. (More than the 2 I just asked ;p)

[xbox]

its a compass, the shader is called- compass , with north south east and west and all the angles in between

[DrXThirst]

Always pointing north for no apparent reason?

[bibbit]

Always pointing north for no apparent reason?

Most likely.

[Cryticfarm]

Maybe its for REALLY pro guys who actually use it.

[-DeToX-]

Its leads you to the ark. Keep going north, etc etc till you get to the north pole. You then will understand that I lied, and now your freezing to death. ;X

In Halo 1, that compass pointed towards the gas planet Threshold. I'm assuming the first Halo orbited that planet. In Halo 3, it most likely will point to Magnetic North.

EDIT: Incorrect planet.

In Halo 1, that compass pointed towards the gas planet Basis. I'm assuming the first Halo orbited that planet. In Halo 3, it most likely will point to Magnetic North.

ya i noticed that and yes if bungie wishes to make this as realistic as possible then why not have a compass that points north?

[Sgt.Peppers]

In Halo 1 it was always pointing at the gas giant.

[Veegie]

It just points North...
You designate it in the sbsp tag, I believe.
Nothing more.

[newbymodder]

In Halo 1 it was always pointing at the gas giant.

hence north mb? on halo the directions are the same but magnetic north would have been on the planet wouldn't it?

[DrXThirst]

Oh well dang. I tried following it in the beta and ended up in some really cool spots. Especially one sniping spot in the back of highgrounds. (Where the big mortar thing is)

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

Local north is defined in the scenario tag for the map.
In Halo 1, it was always set to point towards Threshold, the gas giant.

[DrXThirst]

I see. That's cool to know.

[Dojorkan]

Maybe its for REALLY pro guys who actually use it.

"pros" just use battle rifles and glitches.

glitches ohhhh nvm u mean like bxr rrx haha i get it but you can't double shoot in halo 3 the only way to do it is be on the back of a mongoose so its pointless to do so everyone just goes for 4 shoots

[DrXThirst]

I seriously doubt that no one will figure out how to double shot in halo 3.

[newbymodder]

I seriously doubt that no one will figure out how to double shot in halo 3.

im not saying they won't but we tried in the beta and it was too much of a hassle it was much easier to just try for 4 head shots with the br

Please don't say "we" as if you speak on behalf of the entire Halo community.

If they do, it will be fixed.
BXR for the Magnum worked, but I reported it directly to of Bungie's bug handlers. Oh well...

Also, if a doubleshot is found, it will be fixed.

Thank you, i hate BXR and all those kind of tricks.
