If you're bored, as I was one day, you can kill the Marines in the control room. It's simple enough on Easy and Normal, but I don't think it'd be very fun on Heroic or Legendary. You almost have to do it in Co-op, since the Arbiter is annoying good at headshots and seems to defend the Marines. Anyway, the Marines eventually conclude, after two to four of the Marines are murdered, that you've lost it and you need to be eliminated. En masse, they charge and scream, and their battle cry, if you can call it that, is quite funny in my opinion. It sounds like a soccer riot, or maybe the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on a bad day the week before Christmas. Pretty similar, really. Obviously, those Marines that have weapons fire at you, and it does hurt, indeed, but if you get the chance to look at some of the techs as they 'attack,' they're doing this fake-kung-fu-thing with their hands, some of them gloved, apparently because they don't have guns. The funniest part is that the fake-kung-fu-thing, whatever it's supposed to be, actually does some decent damage, and they can assasinate you. In addition, if you get upstairs in the control center, either when the door is left open or by jumping onto the big display screens (look at it for a while, and you'll get it), then begin murdering Marines, Cmdr. Keyes doesn't seem to care. She just paces around, either ignoring or just accepting your homicidal escapades. Be careful of Sgt. Johnson, though. Sometimes it seems like one hit from him kills, and that just might be the case. You didn’t mention the greatest little visual in the entire level.

If one thing annoyed me in Halo 2 it was the fact that my SMG and battle rifle where constant out of ammo and that I constantly had to get a covenant weapon. Im not a fan of alien weaponry, I always prefer the down to earth bullet spewing assault rifle or a variation on that. Seriously why bitch about having enough ammo?

Julie Benz did the voice in Halo 2 (she is a pretty well known actress, being in the Buffy and Angel series), but I don't know who did the voice in Halo 3... I liked the voice in Halo 2 better... also, I liked the voice for Truth in Halo 2 better... while I love Terrance Stamp, I just didn't care for him in this...

I can't really support this theory though.

I was just re-watching the original E3 2000 Halo demo and near the very end the Elite says to the dying marine "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument". I had completely forgotten about that line! You mention that the Prophet’s speech at the beginning mirrors that from Fall of Reach.
