That Screenshot Text
I didn't think this was news, but it's spawned so many threads on our forum (and others) that if I DON'T front-page it, it's going to overrun us. In one of the screenshots released recently, there's some faded text behind the blue Spartan on the left - clearly, whoever photoshopped the text out only did half the job. The text reads 'Out of Ammo' on the first line, and 'Press [X or Y - only half of the letter shows]' on the second. RVideo makes a solid case for 'X' in this post on the Halo3Forum, actually. Folks first noticed the words when the scans from LEVEL magazine started circulating in late October - I didn't mention it then because of our policy about magazine scans. Now that high-resolution versions of these screens are posted legally, though, more and more people are noticing this, and many of you it's some sort of an egg, or something. If it really reads 'X' in the second line, it might have been removed because Bungie doesn't want us to know what the X button does in the new UI, yet - but it might have simply been removed to make the screenshot cleaner. Either way, there's not really enough info to figure out what it WOULD have said after the pressable letter... but now that it's been front-paged, I hope folks don't feel the need to start new threads in our forum, pointing it out. (There are dozens already.) And to whoever cleaned up that screenshot for release to the web in the first place... hey, next time could you do a more complete job? Thanks. (Louis Wu 16:49:56 UTC)
