Monkey family easter egg

okay if you go to Sierra 117, where the jackals are, you can find a small monkey family. it's really hard to find but if you keep on staying left you might see them. also watch out for the jackals if you are playing on heroic or higher, you can get a really cool beam rifle that is almost like the sniper rifle

Best Halo Ever!

After playing Halo 2, I saw how well of a job Bungie did on Halo 3. Fixing the Needler, better graphics, more balenced weapons,more weapons, personal items, Halo 3 has it all! My only complaint... THOSE DAMN JACKELS ARE MORE ANNOYING THAN EVER! x__x
I really don't see why people hate the Halo series so much. Stop the hate, grab a plasma grenade and have some fun!
