Halo 3

I really dont believe you. 🙄

I played multi for a few hours last night, the maps seem 10x better than in Halo 2. Plus the Zanzibar(which I hated) remake is alot better than the original, they added alot more area to the building structures.

I wasnt a big fan of the new weapons, but I always liked the simpler weapons like the shotgun. I did like the hammer though, its not near as cheap as the sword was to me, since it doesnt have a lunge attack. I didnt get to try anything cool with it like deflecting rockets or knocking away vehicles.

I didnt get to used Saved films because my boss didnt have his console connected. But I did play Forge, which I really didnt enjoy, since all of us just played as the monitors. And you can see some ways it will be exploited, mainly flying up behind someone as a monitor then turning back into character and assassinating them.

And graphically, its taken huge strides since the beta. The maps looked incredibly detailed(granted on player splits), and character models fit in much better. I saw about 1 minute of campaign play, and the graphics there looked incredible, especially the opening cutscene.

Side note, not sure if this was ever mentioned, but co-op is limited to 2 players if you are playing on one system. To play 4 players you will need to go system link or on live.

Yeah it was mentioned.

CAN'T WAIT !!!

FOR F*CKS SAKE I'm not gonna be here when it's released. I preordered it ages ago and i'll be away from civilization for a month. YESSSSS!!!!thumbsupthumbsupthumbsup

Same here, yo. I pre-ordered Halo 3 the day Gears of War was released. I shall vanish from social and internet life. No surprise either...same thing happened to me when the Beta was available.

There are lots of improvements. The assault rifle made its way back to Halo, and its awesome. There is new equipment that you can deploy by pressing X. These are the Bubble Shield(a shield that keeps bullet from getting and out); the gravity lift(a portable device that will lift you several feet off the ground so you can reach places you normally would not); the trip mine(self explanatoy, you can tag vehicles with them); the energy drainer( the bubble shield's anti-thesis. It inmediately drains shields and even disables vehicles for a short time); and the radar jammer(which messes up the motion sensor) They probably added more. You can play up to 4 players in co-op online. You can save films in campaign and multi. The Forge is also out there. There is a new grenade type called Spike grenades; these can stick to walls etc. You can use a hammer like the one the brute chieftains wield. There is a new brute vehicle and the mongoose. Among many other things I don't remember right now.

Oh god, no one will be at my place when it's delivered!!!!!!!!!!

A f*cken month of this bullsh*t job, A MONTH!!!! I wonder if they'd notice if I didn't show up.

God that sounds awesome, can you still be covenant in multiplayer? Here's hoping. I am so hyped for this sh*t.

What do you want to know?, I've played the first 3 levels, and personally I think the in-game graphics aren't that great for the so called 'game of the decade', I would put bioshock and gears above what I've seen so far.

Thats exactly why I dont believe you, because you arent really saying anything. If you really played it you would have more to say than the graphics suck, you look like you are just trying to ruffle some feathers.

I can't wait to make a Spartan with the Mark V helmet (or whatever the number is for the helmet from the first game). Or maybe I'll go with the Samurai one...

The only reason I'm not saying anything is because I don't want to ruin the game for other people, if you want to ask me anything specific or tell me how to do spoiler tags or give an in-depth review of what I've seen so far.

hey astro fan...astro's suck and cubs hold the division!!!!!! that's right, i said it! everyone was thinking it, i just said it... 😈

Really? I hadnt noticed until you mentioned it.

weepover

NO SPOILERS PEOPLE!!!!! 😠 😠

I will freak out if you do!

I got to play Sierra-117 yesterday at Future Shop, it was a demo that was released a while ago, just not publicly, only to certain companies and whatnot. I must say, it was amazing, the graphics are top notch, I put it above Gears, it is just beautiful, and there is now an actual motion that Chief does when he drops the bubble shield, he actually moves his hand, not just drops from nowhere! No cutscenes were watched, thank god, I only wanted to see gameplay, and the way the brutes acted, it really helped them take over the Elites role, the Elites are still cooler though. And I got to fight along side the Arbiter! w00t

Wow, games these days are insanely detailed.

Yeah.

I wasn't going to buy the game. But now I am because he moves his hand.

😂

That should be a bullet point on the back of the box. 😛

I wonder if they still have that detail (Or lack thereof) where if you look up at the sky and walk, the picture doesn't move, it's fixed.

I didn't check for it on Halo 2.
