Messed up the screenshot angle, but 1 wraith shot = 4 dead brutes + untouched choppers. 
Brute taking a nap on the side of a hill.
Brute was on his way down.... to hell.
I jumped when I shot this next victim... his teammate sniped me though... I jumped straight up (stupid me)
This picture makes me proud and angry. I killed the orange guy too, I lunged first but he lunged right after and we sidestepped each other, didn't even do the recoil. I was angry, I was robbed of a killtrocity. I have the replay if someone wants to see it.

On the main menu it says solo and then it gives you options for campaign, multiplayer and more..

Bungie Officially Splits from Microsoft
Halo creator goes independent but Microsoft retains 'equity interest' in the developer.
by Rob Burman, IGN UK
UK, October 5, 2007 - After much whispering behind the scenes since Halo 3 launched last week, Microsoft has officially announced that Bungie is embarking "on a path to become an independent company", while the publishing giant will retain an equity interest in the developer.
However, the pair aren't severing ties completely and the two will continue the long-standing publishing agreement between Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie for the Halo IP, as well as other future products by Bungie.
"Our collaboration with Bungie has resulted in Halo becoming an enduring mainstream hit," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. "While we are supporting Bungie's desire to return to its independent roots, we will continue to invest in our Halo entertainment property with Bungie and other partners, such as Peter Jackson, on a new interactive series set in the Halo universe. We look forward to great success with Bungie as our long-term relationship continues to evolve through Halo-related titles and new IP created by Bungie."
"This exciting evolution of our relationship with Microsoft will enable us to expand both creatively and organisationally in our mission to create world-class games," said Harold Ryan, studio head for Bungie. "We will continue to develop with our primary focus on Microsoft platforms; we greatly value our mutually prosperous relationship with our publisher, Microsoft Game Studios; and we look forward to continuing that affiliation through Halo and beyond."

I haven't played today, but last night sure was. I had my first unplayable game due to the lag.
Maybe has to do with the update

Hey what is everyones rank?
On Lone Wolves I managed to get myself up to 12 on my friends account, hopefully I'll get mine up soon. He's a level 2 corporal, we've only done 30 or so matches.
I like the multiplayer, but it sucks on lone wolves the match is done at random.

Funny Halo 3 review...
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...tuation-Halo-3
The video is hilarious...But, that being said, it is in no way an indication of my personal sentiments of the game since I've never played it. As of right now, the game looks lovely and I'd gladly try it if I had a 360.
So, please...keep the e-anger to a minimum. Thank-yew.
