Well, Bungie is known for leaving many unanswered questions in their games and throwing out other surprises, so no one really knows the fate of the MC. HOWEVER, http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24819.html http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24859.html commercials lead to some pretty interesting assumptions.

| Either he survives and there will be another sequel, or he dies and there will be a prequel. Either way, Microsoft/Bungie will be milking their Halo series as long as they can. |

| Halo 3 will be the last in the Halo trilogy Well one thing is sure, humans win, but i guess what couldl happen is master chief will sacrifice himself to save earth, but that would be kinda predictable and i seriously doubt that will be what happens |

Holy crap that live action one was so sick! After watching this, I can't wait for it any longer!  |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 13 2007, 04:53 PM |
| I think it's pretty basic Brutes/Grunts/Jackles die Humans/Elites/Hunters-Friends win. |
| Posted by: Spike Razzor Sep 13 2007, 05:27 PM | ||
I say everyone but the Grunts die, lol, the underdogs win! Fore me Halo 2 was shitload of fun offline when I was playing co-op career with my brother, but online is full of the same assholes you find on every shooter game. |

@Dat Chau & thewangandestroyeR34 - While it's true that Halo 3 will be the conclusion to the current Halo trilogy, Microsoft has confirmed that there will be more Halo games (other than Halo Wars). However, BUNGIE WILL NOT BE MAKING THEM!  Instead, Peter Jackson's Wingnut Interactive will make them.Personally, I'm not really looking forward to it because Jackson claimed that it would play out like an interactive movie, and IMHO, Halo is only good as a run-and-gun FPS (Halo Wars looks okay, but I doubt it'll be anywhere near as popular as the Halo FPS'). I'll save judgment until we see any work done, but my hopes aren't very high. EDIT: Frank O'Connor stated that the creators of the commercials don't know much about the Halo 3 campaign, so yeah . . . EDIT 2: The diorama (1,200 square feet, 12 feet tall) will be taken apart and toured around the country at various Halo events. EDIT 3: Future Weapons (Discovery Channel) will be airing a Halo special in a few days, so check you local listings if interested. |

w00t! I wanna see them test a needler out, lol, that would be so damn funny if they shot up at a guy wearing padding from a distance XD! |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 14 2007, 02:25 PM |
| http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24927.html of the "Believe" commercial has been released. EDIT: Pretty fun http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/h/halo3/believe.htm if you're bored. EDIT 2: There's also a http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/viewer.aspx?productId=1084&assetTypeId=2&shotId=3 about a John-117 (the MC) monument, but I can't get the video to run and I can't find it anywhere else, so I'm not really sure what it's about. EDIT 3: After some research, I found out that the John-117 Monument is the diorama featured in the commercials and the "trailer" is the making of video. |
| Posted by: Tchan Sep 14 2007, 06:17 PM | ||
Shoot the grunts will always live on. If i can be a grunt in the game, then you'll see online as one  With the same powers and speed as MC and the elites muahahahaha |
| Posted by: thewangandestroyeR34 Sep 14 2007, 06:37 PM |
| That Diorama is badass, and the trailer was cool too. |

| Cant believe I spent $130 on this game but its worth it!!! Reserved at Gamestop. LEGENDARY EDITION!!! |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 15 2007, 03:17 PM |
| What the f**k was that video. I couldn't help but laugh though the entire thing. |
| Posted by: SilviaSlider Sep 16 2007, 11:49 AM |
| Its not the end of Halo but just the end of master chief story. Cant wait for it to come out. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 16 2007, 02:59 PM |
I can't wait for their next game to come out. I don't mean Halo 3 I mean like their next series.  |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 18 2007, 07:03 PM |
| Who else preordered Legendary Edition besides me and zAE86BoYz? |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 18 2007, 07:57 PM |
| I WOULD have, but I had to spend money on more important things.* * - Blasphemy, I know, but with CoD4 and airsoft crap, I just didn't have enough money left for the Legendary Edition. |
| Posted by: Mark2Turbo Sep 18 2007, 08:09 PM |
| I would get if i had the money but I decide to just get limited edition. but i want the helmet thou... |
| Posted by: thewangandestroyeR34 Sep 18 2007, 08:10 PM |
| I got 2 legendary editions, i hoping to sell one on ebay and make about $20 profit. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 18 2007, 09:38 PM |
| Supposedly isn't the helmet too small to wear? If was wearable I would totally get the Legendary Edition. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 18 2007, 09:43 PM |
| The helmet is only used to house the discs. |
| Posted by: Spike Razzor Sep 19 2007, 01:05 AM |
| Preordered the regular edition. Tin set doesn't have a second disk like the old one, but has some DVD with a bunch of stuff. That helmet is useless so I didn't bother spending $150 on that fancy piece of plastic. Anyways, who plans on going to go online once they finish the game? We should create a game or something. |
| Posted by: thewangandestroyeR34 Sep 19 2007, 09:02 PM |
| I think if the ending was like in the believe commercial (master chief surrendering to the covenant and then probably killing the Brute Chieftain with the sticky) I wouldn't be disappointed, but I have high hopes for the ending and i don't want to spoil it b reading some of the leaked stuff |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 20 2007, 05:49 AM |
| Yeah, I think I'm gonna keep my ears shut. This seems just like Harry Potter... @_@ |

Oh no, Anonymous might try and ruin it for everyone ='(. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 20 2007, 09:13 PM |
| Umm . . . the ending's sort of already ruined. Look up "halo 3 final cutscene" on YouTube (you don't have to watch the videos, just do it), and you'll be amazed at how many results you get. |

| http://www.1pstart.com/sony-defense-force-planning-to-crash-halo-3-parties/ Thats pretty lame. Id love to have a scrawny little fanboy come and try to talk shit so I can beat his ass |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 20 2007, 10:55 PM |
| You know, I honestly don't get how Microsoft fanboys always get the bad rep. Around the time that the PS3 came out, Sony fanboys starting getting REALLY b*tchy. Coincidence, or does the PS3 just suck? |
| Posted by: Mr Deap Sep 21 2007, 07:37 AM | ||||
Obviously XBOX fan get bad reputation. The PS3 doesn't sell at the same rate as the XBOX 360 & the software sales is very crappy overall. That's what I understood by reading at beyond3d
Honestly, if the 360 sell 3 to 1 this holiday, I believe that the PlayStation 3 will lost all support from 3rd party software due to cost & common sense. Bluray popularity will come too late to be able to reach as a potential gaming machine. |

lul @ leaked out Halo 3 Ending!  |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 21 2007, 08:05 PM |
| More like lul @ leaked game. Yes, one of the people that stole themselves a copy of H3 decided to upload it on some torrent site. I haven't actually seen the link, but I have seen the game, and it's pretty damn real. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 22 2007, 12:00 AM |
| Holy Crap. That interactive multi-player looks amazing... *drool* |
| Posted by: Tchan Sep 22 2007, 10:23 AM |
| Are any of you guys going to wait in front of the store for its release? Not me I already have it reserved  |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 22 2007, 10:26 AM |
| My brother has it reserved, and we have school the next day, so I don't think I'll wait in store. I would if I didn't have school though. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 22 2007, 10:27 AM |
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25423.html Personally, I don't like it as much as the other commercials, but those are some sexy props.  Next commercial should be coming out on the 25th. |
| Posted by: Tchan Sep 22 2007, 10:30 AM | ||
I wouldn't wait. I found out reserving it is better than waiting in a mile line to get it. Not only that you can also pay it off alittle at a time. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 22 2007, 03:46 PM |
| I changed the title and subtitle of this thread since it's been verified that the "Believe" campaign in strictly non-canon. EDIT: New "Believe" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1zWeaVZpsM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2F405th%2Ecom%2Fforums%2Findex%2Ephp%3Fshowtopic%3D4330. Sorry about the bad quality, but since it's not even supposed to be released until the 25th, I'm not complaining. Not sure why, but I REALLY like the marketing campaign for Halo 3. EDIT 2: Gameplay http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4343 featuring the Flood. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 23 2007, 11:54 AM | ||
I think you missed it, but I said we have it reserved. You're right, I love the marketing campaign for Halo 3 because it makes the game that much more real. Also for some reason that Halo 3 flood video looks hecka fake to me.  |
| Posted by: Legend of Speed Sep 23 2007, 12:10 PM |
| True, the commercials are crazy good and it does feel like it was an actual event. They make it all dramatic and everything =O |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 23 2007, 02:33 PM |
Halo, is kind of a big deal.  But yes i love how they have the museums and the whole diorama things. It's crazy! Props to Bungie! |

| I can't wait to mess around on Forge with my friends. I also want to see the new armor selections, especially for Elites since I have seen ~zero~ screens of them so far. H3 comes out at a perfect time since I just reached the highest rank on RSV and have nothing to do there anymore. |
| Posted by: DeeBo Sep 23 2007, 03:56 PM |
I can't wait for Halo 3. Perfect timing too, since I just got a 360.  Best part is that my school is right next to a shopping center that has GameStop. Yes, I reserved it.  Too bad I'm probably going to get owned by a bunch of vets on Xbox Live. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 23 2007, 04:28 PM |
| I watched the movie, and didn't quite understand the forge thing. Is it an editor that you can only use on one level? Or can you use it on every level? |
| Posted by: DeeBo Sep 23 2007, 04:43 PM | ||
Wha'? What's Forge?  |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 23 2007, 04:56 PM |
i reserved the Legendary edition one. with the helmet and all the extra stuff. after i burn the extra content DVDs, i'm going to sell it on ebay and use the money to buy a normal copy of the game  |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 23 2007, 05:15 PM | ||
If it's not too much of a hassle, could you upload the extra content onto youtube or something at some point? I'm actually quite interested in the stuff, but can't justify paying so much for it. |
| Posted by: Spike Razzor Sep 23 2007, 07:16 PM |
| 45 mins till midnight, but I'm not going down to EB Games to get my copy early, its too far to walk/ride and my dad left for work so I can't drive >_>... Doesn't matter, I don't want to play without my brother and we don't have a second controller as of now, so it would better to grab the game and a controller tomorrow anyways. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 23 2007, 09:46 PM |
| Umm . . . you do realize that you've got another day until the game comes out, right? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 23 2007, 09:48 PM |
| Haha, I read that but didn't post about it. It got me all confused. You have around another 21 hours to go. Sorry to tell you that. |
| Posted by: zerocool_designs Sep 24 2007, 06:13 AM |
| My brothers back home (I'm at school), went to EB and traded in my old PS2, Gamecube, and all the games. They reserved three copies of Halo 3, and Assassin's Creed. But I'll have the game this time next week if anyone plans to make an "IDW Clan" or anything. I'm not very good at the game, ~27 in Team Slayer, and out of practice. |

| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 24 2007, 10:44 AM |
Man it comes out tonight but I may not be able to play it until the weekend. Part of the deal for when my parents bought us the Xbox 360 was only to play it on weekends. But I might be able let this one slip in. Let's just hope.  |
| Posted by: Spike Razzor Sep 24 2007, 02:55 PM | ||||
By the time I noticed I was already in bed getting ready to sleep, lol, I was hoping no one would post so I could delete that post lol.
I'm sure as hell in the clan if people want to join, but I'm gonna have to play through career first, Co-op is fun with my bro and just I want to know whats going story wise (I know the ending I think, some asshat spoiled it for me D=) |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Sep 24 2007, 03:21 PM | ||
Forge is a multi-player map editor that's kind of like Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2. Oh, and Savage, from what I hear, it's compatible with all maps and 8-player Live/ 4-player Split |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 24 2007, 04:16 PM | ||
OH SHI-!!! That's insane! I've seen some of the video documentaries of Bungie testing/designing their multiplayer maps, and holy crap they looks AWESOME! They don't use teleporters anymore, but this thing called a "man cannon" (I think that's what it's called) and it launches you into the air, and it 's like trapshooting with a shotgun if you have a sniper rifle in the game. :3 |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Sep 24 2007, 06:23 PM |
Yeah, the Man Cannon is awesome. It was in a Red Vs Blue promo for Halo 3  |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 24 2007, 06:57 PM |
| As fun as it is, the man cannon is pretty much useless. On Valhalla, not only does the cannon turn you into a target for snipers, but most of the action on that map is concentrated to the points where the man cannon launches you (middle creek, Mongoose "station," and crashed Pelican)*, so you're likely to either get shot and killed before you hit the ground or right after landing. I find it MUCH more effective to just run towards the fight because the rocks provide some cover from snipers and it's a lot easier to hit targets from afar when you're not flying through the air. * - I realize that the cannon doesn't directly dump you into the hot spots, but it still makes it easier for the enemy to kill you when you fly towards them as opposed to running out of the caves (Pelican crash site), staying hidden behind the hills and then rushing from the stream (Mongoose "station"), or rushing the enemy with the Spartan Laser (middle creek). |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 24 2007, 07:19 PM |
| I think they made it like that, so people would think about strategy instead of dumping themselves into the enemies base and getting killed. =/= n00b friendly |

| i played it a bit. I must say one thing, the graphics are laughable and a huge disappointment considering the capabilities of the 360. I'm sure online play is going to kick ass for people who love this type of game but the graphics seriously bother me how unimproved they are from 2 to 3. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 25 2007, 12:25 AM |
| I thought the light reflections of the Gun were awesome. And I think if you pop back in your Halo2 you'll see a dramatic difference. Now question... Did you play Campaign at all? Because the Online graphics are different from Campaign just to compensate for lag n' stuff. EDIT:EDIT: You also have to remember that even in Single Player there is an online Co-Op so even though it's better then MP, it still had to be decent enough to handle 4p co-op. It's no Bioshock looking game, but BioShock isn't MP. |
| Posted by: riP Sep 25 2007, 06:28 AM |
| im sure itll b kick ass for me, i dont have a HD tv so every new game has better graphics that the came i played b4... like juiced 2 looks nice compared to burnout for me, so im sure halo 3 will look better than fear |
| Posted by: Tchan Sep 25 2007, 06:59 AM |
GGGrrrrr!!!!  I was going to wait in line that night, but the thing that sucked was that I had school early the next morning. |

| Posted by: StRikEOnDriFteR Sep 25 2007, 05:23 PM |
| Yeah this games campaign was really crappy I beat it in 5-hours and only a few parts were really fun (like taken down the scarubs), and also those stupid annoying cortana pop-ups. But the online makes-up for it. |

| does the helmet that comes in the special version, actually fit on your head? it looks a little small. pretty weak if the helmet isn't full size. |
| Posted by: Mr Deap Sep 25 2007, 07:14 PM | ||
Maybe a small search on youtube will get your answer? |
| Posted by: Ramaj Sep 25 2007, 07:20 PM |
| is it up already? some of us actually had to go do things today and don't have time to search things like this out. plus I don't have an xbox 360 so I really didn't investigate into it. but I did look on gamestop and the helmet looked small. |
| Posted by: Legend of Speed Sep 25 2007, 07:27 PM |
| Man, I wish I got that bag of Halo goodies (it includes the helmet whoever was asking about it. Looks like it's made for being on display instead of wearing it, but it looks BADASS.) http://media.video.ign.com/ev/sv.html?dlURL=xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/822/822422/halo_opening_flvlowwide.flv&object_ID=734817 |
| Posted by: Ramaj Sep 25 2007, 07:31 PM |
| man that sucks.. they should have made it wearable.. even if it was just basically a motorcycle helmet with the outside molded and painted. I'd have scrounged up some money and bought it just for the helmet then driven around town. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 25 2007, 07:46 PM | ||
I never liked that game... and I'm not the only one that thinks so. I played it for about a week and went back to Counter Strike. Halo is the only other FPS I play MP. Am I the only guy that thinks Game>Graphics? Hell Duke Nukem for PS1 was the best damn game I've ever played, still to this day |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 25 2007, 07:55 PM |
| The helmet WILL fit if you remove the inner linings and if you have a small head. http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4481 |

| Lmao, I thought that thing could only fit 4 year olds. Anyway... Why would you spend 140 for a helmet... lol EDIT: Let's also remember, this game doesn't look like total shit like 2worlds. It still looks amazing. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 25 2007, 08:45 PM |
| How far is everybody? My parents have a rule that my brother and I can't play on weekdays, but my mom did let us play for around 30min before dinner. We were around 5 minutes to beating the first level, but we didn't want to get her angry. SO, we didn't get to save since we were co-oping. This game is SICK! I love it! But how do you switch grenades, and where do it tell you how many bubble shields you have? Does anyone other than me think that the individual reload is awesome? |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 25 2007, 09:02 PM |
| IIRC, you switch grenades with the left bumper (this'll reload your left weapon if dual-wielding), and if you have a bubble shield, then you will see an indication off to the side of the screen (you can only carry one "equipment" at a time). |

| Posted by: dragonsho Sep 26 2007, 08:03 AM |
| I can honestly say this is the only game I've felt like I've been cheated out of my money. I didn't like the first 2 halo's, but with all the hype I said f it. Basically to me it's halo 2 with a few new weapons. Just not my type of game. Good to see that everyone else is enjoying it though. |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 26 2007, 12:09 PM | ||
not really. the game doesnt look that great at all. it looks like a high res version of halo 2 with slightly better visual effects. next to many other games, it looks down right crappy. i got the legendary version (with the helmet) in hopes of turning around and selling it on ebay for a profit. but it seems they arent selling well right now (only going for about 100-150$), so im probably going to wait till around xmas time to sell it. like dragonsho, i wasnt the biggest follower of halo, but thought this would be significantly better. if, between now and xmas, i end up getting into it, i'll take the profit from selling the helmet version and buy a regular copy. but if not, i'll just spend the money on something i know i will play, like CoD4 or something. |
| Posted by: Ramaj Sep 26 2007, 05:49 PM |
| well I was at gamestop corporate headquarters today, and supposedly their was alot of other problems surrounding the release of halo 3. that's all I got, but it was more than just scratched disks and crappy helmets. |
| Posted by: Forza_Semper Fi Sep 26 2007, 07:15 PM | ||
We must be playing two different games...for the amount of enemies that the game can show at once, the graphics are amazing. In my opinion it's a much grander sight to see two scorpion tanks and a warthog battling a scarab (two scarabs later in the game) surrounded by dozens of infantry units in a huge environment than it is to see Bioshock's smaller, more-detailed environments |
| Posted by: W.A.R Sep 26 2007, 07:18 PM |
| I played it today at a friends house I mean the online mutiplayer is alright but I still did not get into the game we just stop playing and went back to playing GOW |

i suppose thats true; i didnt think of it like that (i'm used to mostly single player games or multiplayer games with few people online). that said, i'll deffinately have to get used to playing this... much like gears, i really dont like how much lead you have to fill your opponents with to kill them. i guess its all the vegas i was playing, and being used to 1-5 bullets taking down just about anyone. even aiming for the head, it seems to take half a clip of some of these guns to kill people. oh well... i hope i get more proficient at it, as most of the people in my http://www.ultrazonesandiego.com/ play, and we'll probably play together a lot. |

| If you can get other people to play it with you, you might want to try tuning the game settings so that players have no shields. You can also change it so that you start out with a battle rifle instead of an assault rifle, so you have to be more accurate with your shots. Turning off radar also makes it more realistic. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 26 2007, 08:59 PM | ||
Actually, none of the guns use clips, they all use magazines or some sort of battery thingy. Sorry for being so anal, but it's a MAJOR pet peeve of mine. Anyway, if you think about it, with the Assault Rifle, you're shooting a Spartan/Elite with super advanced body armor/energy shield with (relatively) ineffective 7.62x55mm FMJ rounds, so the fact that it takes multiple hits to bring down another player is slightly more realistic than Vegas. IIRC, it takes 3-4 AK-47 rounds to bring down an enemy in Vegas, but IRL one hit (two tops) from a 7.62mm Soviet round will easily bring them down. |

how can something be "realistic" when what its simulating doesnt actually exist? |

Good one I have played the game on co-op with my bro and I love it. I really like how the humans can handle themselves a little better compared to Halo 2 where they just all died all the time. The graphics are pretty good and the sound could be better I think. Well it is all about the game play anyways which it is excellent. I also love the equipment...the bubble shield is op! I also love the thor hammer thing. You know you can hit vehicles with that thing when they come at you? Me and my bro were having so much fun with that. Just hit some covenant on a vehicle with that thing and see what happens. My rating for the game. 5/5 |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 26 2007, 10:06 PM | ||
Try batting a rocket away with it, it's even better. From now on I'll remember to feed my assault rifles with clips, and my pistols with magazines, just to spite you. MWAHAHAHAHAH!! Seriously though, it's pointless to defend something so trite against people that couldn't really give less of a shit. All they need to know is that the gun gets reloaded with SOMETHING rectangular (usually) and full of ammunition. |

Well, no real point in arguing with someone who just doesn't give a flying f**k. Anyway, do you plan on posting the extra content DVDs on youtube or something? I really wanted to see them, but I didn't have the money to buy anything other than the regular copy when I bought it. |

| has this game series always had an utterly terrible field of view? it seems i have to very often look left, right, up, and down to see areas of the screen that i should be able to see just looking straight ahead. like in bioshock, it feels like im playing through like an 18mm camera lens. but halo is more like trying to play through a 35mm camera lens. its really freakin annoying. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 27 2007, 08:58 PM |
| Not really well kinda... I think now they try to make the HUD look like you're in the suit wearing the helmet kinda deal. Hence why the edges of the screen start to curve. |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 27 2007, 09:37 PM |
| here, this is what i mean by field of view: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view its like; this is what you see when you play bioshock:  and this is what you see when you play halo:  so you see less of whats available. and im not a big fan of that. |
| Posted by: Spike Razzor Sep 28 2007, 04:48 AM |
| I hear Bioshock wasn't exactly an epic game, so why are you obsessing over it? |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 28 2007, 12:42 PM |
| 1) you "heard" means you never actually played it (though im confused where you would hear from... nearly every website and magazine publication gave it anywhere from 9/10 to 10/10). do yourself a favor and if you arent going to play it, at least watch this: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/793/793105/vid_2088634.html 2) i'm not obsessing over it, just using it as an example, since it uses a wide angle field of view. |

Nope. @am3pcket: I haven't played Bioshock yet, but I don't like Halo's angle of view either. Still fun though. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Sep 28 2007, 08:00 PM | ||
I too have noticed the really small angle of view. I don't like it that much, and it kinda bothers me. But this has been in the series from the start so it's nothing new to me. It still sucks though. |

I hear it from FPS players who bought the game, played through it and beat it. Something about lack of ammo in practically ever stage, making your own was a b*tch and a half and the game was short (well, practically every game is too short now a days..). For me I wouldn't use an online review as proof that the game itself is good, no one can ever tell you that your gonna like a game because everyone has there own preference. Games like GT4 and Forza get good ratings, but you still have people who think either one or bother are unrealistic and crap. Anyways, I beat the game about an hour ago, was playing Co-op with my brother. Heh, every time you though the game was about to end another level shows up, lol. I like the missions and gameplays, its much better when you playing along with the someone than by yourself. I did manage to find a few things I didn't like though: The brutes. When they went berserk, not only did they take longer, but they moves slower and tried to headbutt you standing up. This meant by the time they went nuts they've already been shot to death, unlike Halo 2 where they simply dropped there weapons (if they had any) and just charged in fast on all fours. Lack of certain weapons. I like the beam rifle, but I only came across it maybe twice throughout the whole game. And it wasn't even that useful as most of the missions where in enclosed areas, where it was useless. Direction arrow. In most levels you don't really need this, but in that disgusting, flood infested mission, it would of really help if I knew where I was going. I can't even begin to tell you how many time I died going around in circles... Other than this I really like this game and plan to test it out how it runs online soon. |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 29 2007, 02:54 AM | ||||
then these people are idiots. especially the critisism about lack of ammo. you practically trip over ammo left and right, your "fps players" are probably more like "halo players" and dont take the time to search bodies or look around and explore environments. i often found myself shooting special ammo types when i didnt need to, just cuz i couldnt carry anymore but found some laying around and didnt want to be wasteful. besides that, with proper tonics you'll almost never be out of eve, which means you can burn, freeze, electrocute, send bees, and whatever else you choose to equip, should you decide you dont want to use your buckets of ammunition. the game is only short if you rush your way through it and dont take the time to appreciate the story (which includes finding audio tapes), and also didnt take the time to hack cameras/turrets/etc, and dont take the time to search bodies and desks and containers for useful things like ammo. it also goes a lot faster if you use a strategy guide; something the noob who said the game sucks probably had to use. and also, from what i hear from a group of my friends who beat halo 3 on legendary co-op last night, they could do it in about 10 hours. thats half the time it took me to get through bioshock the first time. you know nothing about this game because these idiot "fps players" wouldnt appreciate a good game if it bit them on the ass, and as a result, have relayed useless information to you. enjoy the mindless chaos of halo while the people who enjoy thinking while they play continue to praise bioshock.
yes, god forbid someone with probably longer experience playing games than you've been alive be trusted with reviewing a game. check gamerankings.com yourself (a site which compiles every review ever written about a game, and averages every score for an overal percentage). you will see that bioshock is in the top 10 games of all time (and on any platform, console and PC), currently with an overal percentage of 95.5% over a span of 78 verified reviews. better yet, go to xbox.com forums and read the thousands of threads posted by players discussing how much they love the game, since reviewes are obviously not to be trusted. my guess is you didnt even watch the video i linked because your moron fps friends say it sucks so it MUST suck! (even though the ONLY reasons that you gave ended up being the fault of the player). i dont mind when people dislike something, but if you do so without any sort of valid justified reason, then its just stupidity, ignorance, or bias. edit: i should probably post SOMETHING on topic about this.... after playing much more today, i ranked up a few levels in multiplayer and am getting used to the crap FOV. looking around is a pain (especially without mouse control), but otherwise, its quite a fun game. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 29 2007, 07:55 AM | ||
I see you watch Zero Punctuation To the guys who finished campaign, it's fun making the game now an arcadeish with scores and battles you can do with your friends online to see who has the highest score. Not to mention the Happy Birthday Grunt Skull is the best one ever. |

| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 30 2007, 09:16 AM |
| While it's true that the only noticeable differences are the armor permutations, weapons, and vehicles, the overall feeling of the MP experience changed (don't ask how, I just feel that it feels different), so no . . . it couldn't have been a patch. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 30 2007, 06:02 PM |
| They fixed mad glitches (So far) IE : BXR :Swipe Snipe :Melee lunge Super Bounce and the Fat Elites are now playable In MPThe 3rd person weapons are a nice change, but can rarely be used in offensive Team Slayer, but are great in Defensive Objective. EDIT: What I mean by playable is that the Fat Elites are just as hard to kill as Spartans. In halo 2 it was so easy to kill them, because they were so fat. |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 30 2007, 06:06 PM | ||
now what exactly is this? because i have noticed countless times where i melee someone running at me within range, but 80% of the time, i am the one that dies. im so utterly confused with the melee system i could snap my controller in half. i thought this was a shooting game, not a fighting game. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 30 2007, 06:12 PM |
| H2 and H3's super auto-aim allows for people to "lunge" in when they melee. Basically, when the reticle is red and the target is in a reasonable range, pressing B allows you to fly a foot or so and melee them. And instead of getting pissed at the melee system, learning to use it would make things better for everyone (except for the player getting killed). When you're involved in CQB and you know that the enemy has no shields left, save some ammo and just crush his chest cavity. |
| Posted by: thewangandestroyeR34 Sep 30 2007, 11:03 PM |
| When ever going into a head to head melee fight crouch and swing their swing will go over your head most the time |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 30 2007, 11:09 PM |
| Nice tip AM3P: The "Lunge" in halo 2 was insane. You could literally be about 7 feet away from a person and still be able to club them. You could literally teleport lol. In Halo 3 although there is still a lunge while meleeing, it's a much more reasonable distance. |
| Posted by: Forza_Semper Fi Oct 1 2007, 12:05 PM | ||
Don't listen to anybody else about the melee attacks...just read this; -There is a certain range you have to be in to melee somebody (we'll call it the melee radius. -If you melee before you get in the radius, you will not hit them, you will just melee the air in front of you, and the other person will probably melee you in the face before you get a chance to swing again -If you melee while in range, but after the other guy, the other guy will win (obviously) Basically, the first one to melee while in melee range is the one to get the hit. I always beat my friends in melee because I know the exact melee range. The only people that beat me in melee are the ones that know it better than me, which are only the insanely good people you meet on live. The only way to get good at melee fighting is to practice it (having Halo 1&2 under your belt helps with this) Rant: If you want my opinion, for it's time, Halo 1 was the best out of the trilogy. Halo 2 just made it better by adding x-box live and taking out the overpowered pistol from Halo 1, and six years after the first Halo, Halo 3 kind of feels dated--but not terribly so because FPS's haven't evolved much over the past 6 years. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Oct 1 2007, 12:26 PM | ||
Didn't I basically say that in my own insane way? The melee range in Halo 2 was a lot bigger than Halo 3. I'm sure you have to admit that. |
| Posted by: DeeBo Oct 1 2007, 03:30 PM |
| Along with the melee thing (which I understand now... kinda), I get REALLY pissed when I'm right in someone's face with the shotgun, shoot them, and instead of them dying... I die. I get annoyed as hell, especially when I see that I'm last place in the kill list. >_< |
| Posted by: Hachi_Roku Oct 1 2007, 03:35 PM |
| I wish I could go Live right now, But I'm outta funds for a router... But I managed to get all the skulls and the Hayabusa Armor variation, looks really samurai IMO. But has anyone ever went toe-to-toe with another sword and bounced off them? @4:20: are you aiming face shot or chest? SG should be one-hit at point blank... |
| Posted by: DeeBo Oct 1 2007, 03:42 PM | ||
Face, point blank. The shitty ass part is that after I shoot them, I get melee'd and die, either that or they shoot me and I die. I think it might be a latency server thing, but meh... |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 1 2007, 04:01 PM |
| Umm, if it's point-blank (as in the WHOLE reticle fits within their body), then they should die 100% of the time as long as they don't have an overshield. Hell, as long as the reticle is red, you've got like a 90% change of killing them without an overshield. As a matter of fact, in H:CE, the shotgun at point-blank did as much damage as a rocket, and in H2, the only thing stronger than a shotgun at point-blank was the sword lunge. I'm not sure how much damage the H3 shotgun does, but I don't think they lowered the damage at all (they already cut the ammo capacity in half to balance out the gun). |
| Posted by: Forza_Semper Fi Oct 1 2007, 04:19 PM | ||
If it doesn't kill them, it just means you fired a little bit too early. This is why I usually follow-up a shotgun blast with a melee attack. |

no, the game renderes out a screen shot, much like ps2 did with gran turismo 4. the game in actuality looks pretty bad for a 360 game and is full of jaggies and aliasing problems. this is mostly due to the fact that they are not outputting in a proper resolution. rather than the 720p standard of 1280x720, they are rendering in 1152x640 (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/14676/Bungie-Confirms-Halo-3-Doesnt-Run-Natively-in-HD/) and is then stretched to 1280x720 without any antialiasing filters. |

um... no it doesnt. that is not what the game looks like. it is a rendered screenshot. you can see the game wipe the screen down as it renders the image to be saved (much the same way gran turismo 4's photo mode works). the game does not look that good, and to the trained eye, jaggies are very noticeable and everywhere in this game. i play on a 50" 720p RP LCD. |

It's time for Tessou's big fat screenshot spectacular! First time piloting the Hornet (it isn't usually in multiplayer for a reason).  My badass character in one hell of a slayer match.  Same game, using Spikers to great effect.  Aftermath of a pwnage of... the same guy.  Think you can copy me, motherf**ker? *whack*  The blue dude was a self proclaimed "leet" lieutenant. Too bad I got the drop on him so easily.  This was a beautiful laser kill that occured in the last 30 seconds of a (until now) tied VIP match. The dead guy with a hole in his face was the VIP of the opposing team.  The moment a spike grenade detonated on an enemy warthog, killing the gunner in the blast.  It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND!!!!  |

Well, if you didn't like the recharging shield in the first game, you'll hate it even more in this game because it's a tid bit faster. Beats running around having to find med kits or having to reload your game because you lost too much health, but to each his own I guess. You will also hate this game if you suck at multiplayer, because that is where this game is at. You might end up getting pwned by people who beat the first two Halo's on legendary and played Halo 2 on XBL for a long time (like me lol) |

Me and Bozzy (right) gettin' our zombie huntin' on.  Hulk-mode zombie Bozz slices me for the win. Zombies always win...  So I hit him with a laser in the following slayer match. |

| You weren't there, but I stuck a guy with a plasma while I was following him around in the pit. It was from like frickin' 40 feet away. SO l33t. How do you guys get the screenshots? I have to get that. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 6 2007, 10:26 PM |
| Simple, man. After the game, go to the main menu and select "theater". Simply find the match you found in the recent films list, load it up, and play it until you find that perfect moment to capture. I find that using the right trigger lightly works wonders since it moves time very slowly and you can catch the exact moment when cool shit happens. Then, just select the camera and you'll have the option to save it. Do so and it'll show up at bungie.com under your profile (which is free). Do with them what you will. |

| Crap, well I couldn't get the picture where I stuck the guy, because I didn't have it for some reason. But I played a few games and took some caps. EDIT: It says I haven't taken any screenshots on bungie.net, the thing is I have... |

it prolly takes a while. it hasnt updated with stuff i did earlier this evening, so im guessing theres a delay. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 7 2007, 12:27 AM |
| There's a retarded delay in updating Bungie's database since there's a ginormous amount of players pitching their stats in there every 10 minutes. Give it a few hours and it'll show up. |

| My shit uploaded right away... maybe 5 minutes tops for pictures. Anyway  Last survivor on Infection. I think riP was in this game. The zombies have plasma pistols to stop mongooses haha and they move about as fast as a mongoose. Fun shit. |

what the shit is this? like i know the melee is broken, but COME ON. its crap like this that makes me die, even though i kill them first. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 7 2007, 12:34 PM |
| Shit like this wouldn't happen if you learned to melee too. Also, it's just a video game, and as such, no one really gives a shit. |

so you're saying its my fault that the game has someones dead body extend their arm past their body and melee me after i've killed them? |

| Sometimes it's healthy to try something new now and then, you know? EDIT: Here's a group of shots from today's massacre.  No, no you don't. *SHANK*  Always take out the gunner first. They pose the biggest threat to the horde.  Never try facing zombies at close range. Especially on foot. I learned the hard way.  Confuse a group of zombies by giving them a large buffet of meat to choose from.  The urge to eat brains is hard to break into at first, but with help from friends you can overcome that obstacle. Plus, you get a free sword.   What to do next...? *I just love how badass this shot is. |

| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 8 2007, 07:41 AM | ||
I did read that, I have taken my screenshots, and I have them on my Xbox 360, but for some reason there aren't loaded to bungie.net. But all my other stats are updated. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 8 2007, 03:50 PM |
Finally got off my ass and got the remainining 2 skulls. Tilt was easy enough, but it took me 3 or 4 times through The Ark to figure out that the Cowbell skull is in the first purple staircase and not the second one. Shave off another 3 hours of my life just for that... but the end result was good enough.  |

| The Hybusa helmet reminds me more of a Gundam than a samurai. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 8 2007, 05:40 PM |
| It's not supposed to resemble a samurai. It's a knock off of Ryu Hayabusa form Ninja Gaiden. Bungie put it into the game because Team Ninja put a spartan into one of the DoA games. |
| Posted by: DeeBo Oct 8 2007, 05:53 PM |
| Dammit... I think I've said this before, but I'm soo close to getting the Hayabusa helmet. I need four more skulls and I found out that one of the four is in the Ark... which my disc will NOT load. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 8 2007, 06:26 PM |
| There are 2 in the Ark, actually. Famine (Gold) - Sitting inside the joint of a bridge you'll see after passing the wrecked Phantom. Grenade/partner jump is required. Cowbell (Silver) - Sitting in the highest alcove of a stairway inside the citadel right after you destroy the Scarab. You need a grav lift, of which many can be found in the small building next to where the Scarab scuttles around. What other two do you need? I can help you get them if you want. |

i really liked this shot: it was in ranked lone wolves in that stupid oddball mode. some guy had the skull for most of the match, but got killed at 49 points (50 to win) i had a few points here and there, but managed to snatch up the skull after killing two people, and starting from about 20 points, i managed to hop skip and run my way around till i picked up invisibility with about 10 seconds remaining till i got to 50. i managed to evade even more shots to win the game! talk about a comeback! i made sure to save the last segment of that game in my clips. |

That was funny, but I don't think you can give a review of Halo 3 without playing multiplayer. The campaign is hardly the selling point. |

Did you scratch it? or did it always not work? If you scratched it, you're SOL. If it always didn't work, then contact the manufacturer. Microsoft is replacing alot of Halo 3 copies due to scratched disks (limited edition box) and other various reasons. Yeah they basically cluster f**ked the Halo 3 release. zomg hax. |

Except pretty much everything he said about the game applies to the multiplayer just as well. Unfortunately, the list of half decent multiplayer FPS on consoles is so short that halo is considered the benchmark. And I thought halo3's selling point was the SP and co-op? Don't they have another halo game in the works that is strickly for multiplayer? halo wars or something? |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Oct 9 2007, 05:41 PM |
| Halo Wars is an RTS that isn't out yet. And no basically with the exception of Halo 1 MP was everything. (and even then with XBOX connect and other XBOX Linking software it was easy to make Halo 1 MP online) |
| Posted by: zerocool_designs Oct 9 2007, 06:07 PM | ||
Not really. He put most emphasis on a short story, poor AI, inconsistent story, lack of boss battles, inconsistent challenge curve, and unoriginal characters and monsters in the story. The only things in the video that applied to the multiplayer are his complaint of the overly bright effects, and the guns sounding like toys. Which are both nit-picky complaints. This is a poor review. It's like watching the first 45 minutes of Lord of The Rings and writing a review that is supposed to represent the entire film. You would be reviewing the least interesting part of the film. |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Oct 9 2007, 06:20 PM |
| well the multiplayer isnt that amazing either. yeah, its good, but thats all it is. its not fantastic or outstanding at anything. and the graphics of the game are hardly something that i would expect for such a flagship game. crappy modeling, mediocre textures, and jaggies galore. much like everything else about halo, its decently good, but there are tons of other games that do those things better. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 9 2007, 08:44 PM |
| Well then by all means go back to your Gears and it's perfect graphics. I'm sure the online community there is still just as "robust" as it was when I left it. |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Oct 9 2007, 09:35 PM |
| oh gears is terrible online. i couldnt stand that game. i'd love to go back to playing vegas (which, according to some tracking website, i have logged in to play for more than 80 days) but i got sick of the game freezing on me in the middle of a match. it happened frequently enough to make me stop playing, which is unfortunate, because the game is infinately better than halo. |
| Posted by: DeeBo Oct 9 2007, 10:04 PM | ||
Like Bozz said, my disk won't load the level. I'm just going to go over a friend's house (who can't load that "nest" level or w/e it's called, but can load the ark lol) and get the skulls there by bringing my HDD. |

And the fact that everything it does has been done before. I liked the review and thought it was spot on for something that was more or less a jest, and of course one shouldn't develop your opinion on something based on a review or take it too seriously anyway. It's just that this one is the only one I've come across that didn't spit out the "perfect" and "revolutionary" rhetoric. Have to agree with am3 on this one. |
| Posted by: zerocool_designs Oct 10 2007, 10:07 AM |
| I'm not arguing that Halo is a great game, single player or multiplayer. I'm just saying that the review wasn't a good review. It was funny, I laughed multiple times... But it was entertainment not journalism. I'm not trying to defend Halo here guys. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 10 2007, 03:10 PM | ||
RSV is still the best team multiplayer game on the market by far. Halo's got nothing on that shit. I've got ridiculous amounts of logged hours playing that awesomeness online with friends, but once I ranked to Elite, I noticed that most of the good players had left and I was stuck playing a bunch of whiny kids (abusing that banhammer as usual) and British dudes at 2AM. Anyways, anybody that still needs some skulls, by all means hit me up on XBL and I'll be glad to help you get them. Even that blasted IWHBYD skull. My gamertag is aerowitz. Just add a message saying you're from IDWF or I'll ignore the request. More screenshots are coming from me soon, so brace yourselves for them. I only snap the best, dammit! |

I don't think any of his/their reviews are meant to be straight up legitimate.. I'm just giving him credit for saying what no one else has. Think of it like the dailyshow on comedy central.. Yeah it's all just for gags on current events and shouldn't be taken seriously.. but every now and then they make a point or connection that most have missed. |

| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 10 2007, 10:00 PM |
| They have different effects, but as a general rule of thumb, the gold skulls make the campaign harder and the silver skulls make the game more interesting. Also, the gold skulls act as point multipliers if you have scoring enabled. |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 10 2007, 11:42 PM |
Screenshot time! These shots were all taken from a recent 3-player skull run on The Ark between me, Cowman, and amp3kcet. We got both skulls in the end, eventually attempting to kill each other with the IWHBYD skull before parting ways.  This was right after rescuing poor Master Chief from falling into the ocean.  I don't know what's happening here, but it looks wrong.  Taking down one of the Scarabs.  Destroying the other Scarab. Okay, Bungie has only uploaded half of the shots I took, most of them involving the IWHBYD skull and some killer Scarab explosion shots, but they should be here tomorrow. I'll post those when I get them. In the meantime, have fun with this comedy bit.  IT'S GODZILLA!! |

| Posted by: Tessou Oct 11 2007, 03:42 PM |
| What happened last night was that I was in a campaign getting the same skull with Cowman and amp3kcet, and became super tired afterwards. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 11 2007, 03:45 PM | ||
It's not that hard to get. It's at the end of the level after you kill Truth, On the way there and on the way back DO NOT JUMP THROUGH ANY OF THE RINGS. If you do, it will mess up the order and you won't be able to get the skull.
The order is backwards from where truth is killed. (E.G. If there were 4 rings total, the order would be 4 3 2 1, if you were standing where Truth was killed.) Hope this helps! EDIT: Does anyone know how to get the Recon - Body/Shoulders/Head, and the Security - Body/Shoulders? And to get the EOD Head it says to beat Campaign on Legendary? Would beating the last level on Legendary work? Or would I have to beat every level on Legendary? Ian |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 11 2007, 03:50 PM |
| Yes, don't jump through any rings out of order or you'll have to start all over from the last checkpoint. Remember that the first ring in the sequence is the one with all the damage and red shit on it. That's your mark! |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 11 2007, 04:02 PM | ||
The Recon armor set is only available to Bungie employees, and you'll need 1000/1000 gamerpoints for the Security helmet and 850/1000 gamerpoints for the Security shoulders. You have to beat ALL of the level on Legendary either by yourself or co-op. Just beating the last level won't work. |

| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 11 2007, 07:55 PM | ||
Wait, is this the one with the gravlift? It's more or less trial and error. But I can't talk you through it now, because I'm at my friend's house and he doesn't have a 360. but try being about ten feet up from the flat part close to the right wall (If you're facing downhill) maybe 1 1/2 feet away from the wall. Other than that just try and work with your results... Sorry |
| Posted by: riP Oct 11 2007, 08:04 PM |
| im up at the top right now but theres no skull.... wtf |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 11 2007, 08:05 PM |
| Okay, finally got all the terminals (Marathon Man achievement). The trick is to access them and read the whole thing... then wait until it goes all buggy and red before zipping around to a different text file. Read that text (i.e. skip skip skip) until that little green triangle in the lower left field changes into a red one. Once that's done, you've essentially "read" the entire thing and that's one terminal down. Rinse and repeat with the others. If you did it right, when you get to the one on the last level (where Cortana says "Where are you going? Wait, what's that?" the achievement will pop up once you read through the text. If you didn't get the achievement, Cortana will say "How many of these have you found so far?"... meaning you gotta go through trial and error to find the one(s) you missed. Sucks! It doesn't unlock shit, either. Just one step closer to that 1000... |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 11 2007, 08:07 PM |
| MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT PLACE. IIRC, there's two spots with those enclaves in the wall. The skull is in the first set of enclaves. Also, it's kind of hard to judge distance in Halo (or any video game, for that matter), so I'd suggest that you deploy the grav lift about halfway down the ramp. I stuck it near the outside wall (pretend the walkway is a hairpin corner, then you'll figure out what I mean by outside), but I don't think that makes a difference. EDIT: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xZvYELDZJ4w And make sure you're playing on Normal or above. The skull won't be there on Easy. |

| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 11 2007, 08:49 PM |
| Hahaha! That's priceless! I got the "Headshot Honcho" achievement, when I was getting the "Fear the Pink Mist" achievement. It was fun, because I had the grunt birthday party skull turned on, lol! Ian |

| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 11 2007, 10:21 PM |
| I heard that the IWHBYH (sp?) skull adds commentary. But I don't know exactly what it does. |

It basically just adds new dialogue to the game (the NPCs say "more amusing" things during the campaign). |
| Posted by: riP Oct 12 2007, 07:27 AM |

| I'm currently running through the missions to get the metagame achievements. It pretty much requires skulls and can be super-frustrating at points. So far I have completed 4 of the missions with over 15,000pts. I finished the 3rd mission with over 100,000pts thanks to ridiculous amounts of skulls activated and a 2.5x time bonus. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 12 2007, 08:43 PM |
| How do you get the metagame achievements? Just turn the campaign scoring on? |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Oct 12 2007, 08:51 PM |
| Individual scoring, yeah. |

in onme of the stages, some random marine NPC was runing towards a pack of brutes yelling "THIS IS SPARTA!" |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 13 2007, 12:28 PM |
| ^^ I confirm that. I was on The Ark driving around an area with a Wraith and the gunner shouted "This is SPARTAAAA!!!" as he was shooting the hell out of it. EDIT: Here's some screens from a recent Hammerzeit match in the rumble pit. I was victor with 15 kills, second place guy had 9 before I killed him for that game winning point.  The worst nut shot in history. Warping gravity will crush (decimate) balls like no other.  This time, a good slug into the kidneys.  HOME RUN!!! |

| Man, I NEED to get my live!!! Gah, I hope I get it tomorrow, or else I have to wait until the weekend... |

| I herd you can get hyabusa sword since they put in the armor. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 13 2007, 07:32 PM |
| Yeah, you have to get 1000 Gamerpoints from Halo (All the achievements), to get the katana. Ian |
| Posted by: Tessou Oct 13 2007, 09:58 PM |
| You get the sword after getting all of the achievements in the game, and even then the damn thing looks pretty shitty. The textures on the handle alone made my eyes bleed at their atrociousness. On that note, I completed all of the levels again, this time beating the metagame for those achievements. I used normal difficulty and activated these skulls: Tough Luck Catch Famine Thunderstorm Tilt Mythic Cowbell Grunt Bday Party IWHBYD Amazingly hard, but you're virtually guaranteed to get a fine score if you can complete the level. EDIT: My last screenshot from the Hammerzeit match finally registered on Bungie's site, so here it is.  God I love rumble pit. |

| wheres every1 at? how come no1 is on i thought there was gunna b a legendary run 2day?? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 14 2007, 09:32 AM |
| What was your average score for each level? EDIT: Dude it's 10:30 in the morning for I think all of the people that said they were gonna do it. Also I won't be able to do it because I STILL DON'T HAVE LIVE.... Hopefully we'll be able to go out and get it today, but I highly doubt it.Ian |

Last night I scored the best kill of all time with my favorite weapon in a VIP game... Laser Headshot... your head asplode buddy!  I managed to ace the VIP for the winning point but he stuck me as I did so. It was a worthwhile sacrifice. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Savage Oct 14 2007, 06:31 PM |
| Guys! I got my live back! Next weekend (including Friday) i'll be able to go on if anyone wants to. Ian |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Oct 14 2007, 07:20 PM |
| anyone wanna do co-op on the last two stages on legendary? thats all i need to beat the whole game on legendary. i've tried so far with three different friends and EACH time someone had to quit before the level was over and either myself or the remaining player(s) were kicked back to the main menu, forced to do the whole thing over again. being so frustrated with it, i STILL havent finished cortana or halo on legendary. |
| Posted by: riP Oct 14 2007, 08:20 PM |
