Halo 3 - Page 5

Cashmoney · 09-25-2007, 08:35 PM

so i go to bed last night somehow with my roommates playing the new halo with the sound system on. i wake up and theyd beat the game in less than 7 hours. if i were a hardcore halo fan id be dissappointed with a storyline as short as that.

No lag, no voice drops, and the game looked really, really polished. I have no complaints so far. Looking forward to trying out Forge tonight.

Wait, what is forge mode?

You can edit the maps and then play with them.

Played the first two levels offline. I can say that I HAVE seen peoples head explod when you shoot them.

I also like how when your using a turret, you can press "B" and Chief rips it right off and you can walk around with the turret in your hand shooting it. I find it is VERY helpful. I also find that normal is pretty easy. I beat the first two levels in less than an hour.

I like this game alot. Some of the multiplayer maps are the same ones as the Halo 2 version only modified. Like Zanaibar is called Last Resort. Its pretty much the same level just looks alot more futuretechy if you know what I mean. I like the old one better,

Anyone know if you are able to get the old maps from the Marketplace?

kwilk103 · 09-25-2007, 11:27 PM

does this game live up to the hype?

i was gonna buy it, then my 360 got the red ring; so, i bought my own for college (let bro keep the old one); well about a month ago my power went out for about 1 min and the power brick short circuited; my family came down for the wvu last weekend, and my bros xbox supposedly got fixed (sent it back), but it wouldnt turn on; so we switched xbox's so we could play (his power brick and my xbox); so i was gonna buy it, so i went to play madden and i got the red ring

so now i have 2 xboxs that dont work and have to call about this weekend; im pissed

awfullyquiet · 09-25-2007, 11:42 PM

i refuse to play it.
all my guy friends are all disappearing one by one. and that's bad.
because i have madden 08 tourneys to attend to.

Damix · 09-25-2007, 11:45 PM

Just beat it, almost missed the scene after the credits, online play later

Screw Halo, this comes out in 5 days. Portable gaming FTW!

Shiver · 09-26-2007, 10:07 AM

Right now Halo 3 is the fifth highest reviewed game of all time, at 95.5%, per gamerankings.

The Great Jonathan Vilma · 09-26-2007, 11:28 AM

i'm hearing about a lot of people being let down in terms of this game. I think its solid, but that might just be because i haven't been looking forward to it for months on end like others. I want some of my buds to get online so we can do campaign and multiplayer crap then watch the video's.

Crickett · 09-26-2007, 11:32 AM

So far I've only lost one multiplayer game and I completely attribute it to the unfamiliarity to the map I was playing.

I've run through a couple of the maps on forge just to see where everything is. I should probably do that with the rest of the maps before I play more multiplayer.

I haven't played any games with the hornet (the human version of the banshee), but I have inserted it into maps on the forge just to see what its like.

It can fly backwards. Thats frickin awesome.

Oh, and while most turrets are detachable, the turrets on the elephant are not.

vatech=accdomination · 09-26-2007, 11:59 AM

the elephant is awesome when there are like 6 people on it, it is unstoppabble.

VoteLynnSwan · 09-26-2007, 02:34 PM

my roommate just got it in the mail... he's at class right now though, and i'm sure he's gonna start playing without me... ******* bastard.

The Great Jonathan Vilma · 09-26-2007, 02:53 PM

What does playing 'Ranked' games get you? Just moves you up the leaderboard of people who play 24/7? I have no desire or chance of any of that so does it do anything else? MAybe keep stats, record? Whats the advantage?

7-11 · 09-26-2007, 06:21 PM

When i play Halo 2 at my mates place (very rarely) it makes me feel like i have a mental disorder. I can tell the game is good but i can't get into it cause i am just so bad, guess a result of never really being into fps games

It allows you unlock acheivements for your gamertag. I think that is about it. Maybe if someone can clear this up as well.

I'd say GOW's graphics are more technically proficient (building textures, character modeling), but Halo 3 is a lot more colorful than GOW's gray and brown. GOW's are slightly better, but it's more apples and oranges.
