    At PAX right now the Omeganauts are playing the retail build of the Halo3 multiplayer in the finals as I type this. I'm talking to XxHennersXx and he's telling me what's happening!

    Interesting...

    I used the staff when I beta tested Halo3. It was a pretty fun weapon to use, a lot more balanced than the sword imo. The map they played isn't going to be in the retail version?

    they are, they were slightly edited for the convention with Forge. It was the maps narrows and Guardian. They were edited slightly and also renamed Omeguardian and Meganarrows.

    The Forge level editor (while not allowing altering the terrain and geometrics) is a really cool feature, imo.

    I could play with that all day! Just imagine putting down 50 explosion cores in a spot just to see how far your character goes flying when he gets blown up. :p

    Or a Bumper Car variant using 16 warthogs, or giant Banshee aerial battles...and so on.

    I kinda think Bungie put that in there to keep people from cheating (an effort at least) or giving players almost total control in the editor without resorting to downloading mods and getting banned.

    No. The staff is the same sort of weapon as the one boss brute in Halo2 used. It looks almost exactly the same. If I remember right, in Halo3 more brutes used the staff.

    Eh, I don't need fancy physics manipulation to have fun.

    I played GMOD once, and it felt like all I was doing was playing with 3d dolls.
