Halo 3 "X" button use. What do you think?

IMHO, i think the X button could be a shield boost, much like the one generated from the "shield grenade" in the trailor, but using this substantially drains your energy. So it would have a trade off, one second of invulnrability for a full drain of shield afterwords until the energy recharges. What do you think?bsager87

I thought it might have something to do with the shield grenade also. I think it has been said that it will not be for sure a cover button like in GOW.

some one else had a thread about the X button in halo they said it might be to mute other players on xbox live which i thought was a great idea! =]

I'm willing to bet $100 to anyone (paypal) that the X button is gonna be used to run. The A button is still gonna be to jump, obviously.

Think X and A on the 360 as Y and B on the SNES. Hold X down, and you can still press A easily and jump on the fly, a la Super Mario games.

Again, I'll bet anyone $100 this is what WILL happen.

all of you are stupid the x button gets inside vehicles and turents?psychosurfer10

lol good one man.  haha.  

i think the X button will be used to transform Master Chief into a version of himself which is 10% larger than himself normally.  think about it, would make gameplay awesome. 





god i hope someone understands im being sarcastic.

Ditto. I feel that Halo being a RUN & GUN shooter that they probably won't use X as a cover system, but it would be kinda cool to break up the pace just enough for something different.

That feature will be in the game, but that's not the secret "X" button feature.

No... you are stupid. Bungie has said that the X button in Halo 3 will be something different and interesting. It might still get you in and out of vehicles, but it will also do something totally new.

NO, im sorry it would not be cool to put any kind of cover into Halo.  im not even saying Halo is factually the best FPS, im saying cover does not belong in it at all.  if you want cover, as martinez said, play something different.  Halo is a fast paced game, anything that would break that up would slow it down and make it like everything else out there. 

I am thinking it will be used as a sprint button. That would probably be it's best use.

No takers?

Maby...."It will transfrom materchief into a little ball that you roll around in......and then In the end when we See Master Cheif's Face..........................................."Its a Girl, with a voice mask!" :D

Edit- It will be a sprint button

They have already said that it will not be a cover  

I really hope it isn't a shield button, cause then all of the noobs will just use it all of the timealex986

Even if it is the shield thing, Bungie usually has a way of leveling the play or equalling it out.  So it may not last that long or may be limited.
