I don't know if I believe that. The front cover doesn't look like something bungie would do...

Ugh, if that is actually faked, then who ever did that Shopping work needs a life.

The are no spoilers, in it. Everything has been said before besides the controls of the camera and forge editors. Great find though, also the Gravemind looks different, but in a great way. I hated the way he looking in Halo 2.

Absolutely fake. It has no mention of many of the recently released weapons (Gravity Hammer, Mauler, and Flamethrower), grenades, and also lacks any descriptions for the weapons.

FAKE

The only thing that screams fake to me is that case cover...

They even have Johnson looking how they were describing him in one of the podcasts (I believe thats were it was said anyway). That, and they got his full rank right.

Notice how its missing an entire page of weapons? Also, grenades would probably be under equipment tbh

Grenades are classic weapons, so they will remain under the classification of weapons. Simple as that.

Still missing a page of weapons...

If this is the manual, it must be really outdated or something, it's missing weapons...

The front cover is almost 100% fake - it just doesn't look like something that Bungie would do. And where's the "Only on Xbox 360" stamp that's always on the cover of 360 exclusives? (whether timed or not). Plus, I doubt they would put the "Halo 3" logo right at the bottom, let alone below the age rating sign....I think the logo is just a bit important when desiging a front cover.
Compare it with Halo 1 and 2 front covers, and check out the layout and overall design style of them - nothing like this one, and this is highly unappealing. The previous (slated to be official) front cover with the painting of MC running with an AR seemed a lot more legit.
And as someone said, certain weapons aren't listed, and the table of contents order doesn't look proffesionally laid out.

Cortana looks... different.

imported a real face, made her breats bigger, hair looks a tad poofier. (they've done that twice already, Halo 3 being the second time)

And yeah, Sargeant Johnson looks like a white dude XD

The box has the exclusive stamp on it, not the manual, I believe. I think it was that way with Halo 2, not sure with any other 360 games, though.

Edit: Atty just confirmed it for me. The Crackdown box DOES NOT have an "only on Xbox" logo on it, even though it is exclusive to the console. The standards would more than likely apply to Halo 3 as well.

The manual does look legit, but it might be an old one, since it's missing weapons.
I don't see how and where a guy (if it is fake) would have got those images from, since from what I know, they haven't been released to the public before.
I'm still not swung with the front cover though...

The pistol still has a 12 round magazine?
FRain
August 17th, 2007, 05:10 PM
Okay, there is some real bad mistakes on this which makes me think this isn't legit.

1 - 48 round mag for the spiker? I thought it was just 40.
2 - Pistol, 12 round mag? I thought it was just 8.
3 - Spartan laser, 5 charges per shot? That means it has 20 shots. I thought it was only 10.

And like as if Bungie isn't notorious for changing things at the last minute. :awesome:

FAKE
..

Look at the table of contents, weapons starts at 12 and equipment starts at 15. All we saw of weapons was pages 12 and 13.
Who's to say they're not on the next page :hurr:

All of the Human weapons would have been listed on one page, not split into two.

All of the Human weapons would have been listed on one page, not split into two.All of them are, the next pages will list Equipment which is what the flame thrower would be listed as, Grenades will have their own section, and Gravity hammer and mauler will obviously have their own spot on the next page.

UNSC is misspelled as USNC on the weapons page. I don't think that is a mistake Bungie would make and not catch.

^^ Would explain it...

I'm either going to say that this is real or someone needs to get laid...or find a new hobby.

But it looks pretty much like a Halo Manual...looks fairly complete too....
