is this what the x button theory thread has been up to? lol.
ive been doing some serious thinking about this and it really has me stumped. Ive spent countless hours pondering the different possiblilities that could be "activated" in order to gain an advantage. Because in the quote " we owned them so hard we didnt have to activate our X buttons"(i know its not word for word but its the general gist of it) what could possibly give you an advantage instantly by pressing a button? I dont know but i have a hunch that it is the fourth grenade slot shown in the halo 3 brute doc analysis.

Way to find the video
1) gamevideos.com
2) search halo 3
3) 3rd page
4) named "halo 'brute doc' analysis
5) time in vid: 4:34

All images from that pre-alpha are subject to change. That's a very, very, very early video. The 4th grenade display has since been removed.

Bungie and the text on the screen say it's pre-alpha.
More recent images show it has been removed.

oh my bad, i clicked semi colon instead of period. damn my ignorant self. activate goes along with starting something. like, you can activate your cell phone by doing something. but you don't activate it every time you want to call somebody.

He's part of the HM staff so I think he wouldn't be messing with people. And like he said...he can't post the pictures on the forum.

>_>

Maybe it's a... command... menu...

Where you would tell your allies what to do, like the LB does in GoW. You know, like attack, regroup, etc.

Or maybe its like the new white button to talk to friends

Or not. v_v

Looking at the new HUD won't give you any hints as to what the famous X button will do. I don't even get why people are so excited to know what it does, it's not a big deal...

Also 1nevitablEnd, why is it so hard to believe what Tural is saying? I mean for god sakes, the game was still being developed when they took those, there is always plenty of room for changes.

[quote="Bungie"]2. Four grenades in the HUD! Is that fourth one the Shield Grenade from the TV ad?

No. And like anything you see in the Vidoc, it

Haxxzor1 · Post by **Haxxzor1** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 12:15 pm

Well, Im not going to read all ten pages to see if someone posted it before me

So, it could activate the shield thing in the Halo 3 Commercial...

Maybe? Yay? Nay?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 12:18 pm

That's been the overwhelming suggestion throughout the thread.

Ah.....I see...
Well my apologies for laziness..

V0Lt4Ge · Post by **V0Lt4Ge** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:29 pm

To be honest, I really hope it's not that.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:32 pm

How else would they work it into gameplay? It would be horribly unbalanced as a standard grenade type, and Bungie said that the assets were all from the game.
