I was messing around with Halo 3 by putting it on my xbox (not 360) and the only thing I did was put in a Halo 2 default.xbe and a mainmenu.map, and Halo 2 multiplayer maps instead of Halo 3's riverworld, deadlock, and snowbound.

Then, I started it up. It looked weird with the different fonts and icons.

First off, as shown, there were a lot of things missing text. It was really hard to change things such as quick options since there was no way to tell what you were changing most of the time until the list of options pops up. Anyway, I started a game or two going around and nothing had changed besides the text. That and the icons. None of the icons were right. The plasma rifle and the brute Plasma rifles had their icons, but they were not their Halo 2 Icons. The icons were not only different, there were things like the carbine having a bomb icon. Many of them I could not recognize. They are undoubtedly the Halo 3 weapons' and other items' icons. Also, the BR, Beam Rifle, Brute Shot, and SMG all made the game freeze when I touched them. Probably because the game doesn't know how to handle their icons or something, like they're foreign objects in the game.

These are all the icons I got, except for things like the A, B, X, and RB buttons (yes, it said press *RB* to review post game stats.) I hope this can be a source of info/speculation on the future of Halo 3.

PS. I am new to this forum. I decided to post this info here instead of other places because none of the other forums I belong to have the same modding-haloedness that this place has.:smile:

Many were A) Not on the right gun B) Not even icons from Halo 2. Also, I forgot to mention, but It starts of with the ESRB RP thing and the Bungie logo and sound.

@ Se7en MasTa-Actually, this was just one of the game types I tried on one of the maps I tried. I was using a lot of maps and a lot of game types to see if anything else was different, and sometimes, it was easier to switch the gametypes than to try to change the quick options... such as when trying to test the sentinal beam.
