I believe it was Doc and Griff from Red Team. It's in the UNSC outpost after the Covenant begins to attack. If you walk down a tunnel you can hear a little conversation between the two.

Griff: Hey open up!
Doc: What's the password?
Griff: What password?
Doc: The password so that I know you're not a Brute.
Griff: Do I sound like a Brute?
Doc: Maybe that's what you want me to think.
Griff: Open up! I need ammo!
Doc: Why not get some ammo from your Brute buddies?

Well I got the game but my 360 doesn't get back from microsoft for at least another week, so I'm going to have to go over to friends houses to play lol.

lol that bit was funny, but i did not realise it was from red v blue

Anyone play around with forge?

I tried making a stunt where I launch a warthog into a pile of explosives, but they wouldnt always go off.

I was able to edit Valhalla to where it constantly launches explosive coils into the air from the man cannons. 😂

i did that thing where you make a pile of explosive, but what i did was a got a mongoose and my friend drove it, and i was on the back, and i shot them right as i went over them, and we went flying!

so here gose heres somthings i want

minigun for master chife

jackal sheild

new covernant members

hand to hand

quad bike

thats all i have for now

omg, stalker got 3 things right all the way back then, with the mini gun (the portable turrent), the quad bike (mongoose), and new convernant members (brute)

So I finally played Halo 3. I have it on Heroic so I won't beat it as fast as everyone else. I figure i'd make it worth my money and really indulge in it with it being more difficult than the standard. (I was in a 35 min. standoff by the mouth of a destroyed highway tunnel early this morning with like 7 huge mofo's trying to off me. Some flew. But it was hard.)

Halo 3 constantly kept reminded me of Halo 2 but with upgraded graphics. It has good bloom effects but the lighting and particle effects weren't as great as almost everyone in here made it seem. Gears of War and BioShock's visuals trump Halo 3 graphics, imo.

The sound of gun blasts coming from (you/friend/foe) are barely audible. To make it worse, there wasn't even a sound option i could toggle to turn up the sound effects.

Halo 3's movement was Halo 2 all the way. Right now i don't feel really anxious to get back to Halo 3 but that may change. I had more of a desire to play G.O.W. and BioShock than Halo 3 but we'll. I did just get it by the way.

The fact that Halo 3 is mentioned alongside those two games is way more credit than it deserves, to be honest.

People treat it like those are the three best, or three most competitive. It's just the most famous.

Halo and Halo fans have been lost in the hype. It was never, ever going to compensate. The first Halo fell way short of the hype, much less Halo 3. People are saying it's as big a franchise as Star Wars, it's getting ridiculous.

Now I'm going to have to listen for years to come that Halo 3 is the greatest game of all time....................whoop pee.

WTF? People in here are even attempting to argue that Halo 3 looks better then Gears of War??? Gears looks better then Bioshock does, and Bioshock looks far FAR better then Halo 3 does. There are parts (long long parts) in Halo 3 that I honestly could mistake for Halo 2 on the Xbox. In terms of graphics Halo 3 isnt even close to the upper echelon. The only thing it has is lighting which is SOMETIMES good and sometimes very bad. Needless to say the environment graphics really are Halo 2.5.

As I play this game more I become more disappointed, I'm playing on Legendary and even with the AI (which is very good I'll admit) as I go on it feels more and more of the same. It really foes feel identical to Halo 2, it could be the same game.

Be a easier to avoid that kind of thing if you didnt go into the Halo 3 thread. 🙄

The Arbiter looks a lot better than he did in Halo 2.

I also noticed the sound. I usually play my games around 35 because it tends to get loud, but with Halo 3, I have to play it at 40 and above because I can barely hear any of the guns.

Played the game loved it.

It may be Halo 2.5 but I can live with that.

People are complaining that it handles like Halo 2 well why would you change it. The controls were great for the type of game it is.

People are complaining it hasn't added anything new. It has added new things like new vehicles and new match modes. Maybe not anything like jetpacks or etc. But it did what people wanted add new weapons and items to use.

Personally the Graphics are better. It has exceptional lighting IMO. the sound quality and attention to detail is awesome. Whiel Gears may have better textures I find myself liking the overall look of Halo 3 better.

Seriously I see the biigest complaint about the game is that it is an upgraded Halo 2. Personally if that is the biggest problem people can think off than I do not see a problem. Halo 2 was/is a great and exceptionally replayable. Any sequel that can take an already great and tight game like that and add anything to it can not be penalized because of it..

By I got to drive the Elepant on Sandtrap and loved it 😛

This is just a post chock full of excuses, to be honest.

But this part got me the most:

How long are people gonna use the excuse of new vehicles? If it's taken this long and this much hype, that many millions of dollars, and all people can say is "New vehicles, new modes, but essentially Halo 2.5.", then do you not see the point? All this time, money, marketing and hype for Halo 2 with better graphics and new guns, essentially. That's why people are backlashing, and deservedly so.

There's a reason Bungie and Microsoft had to plaster Master Chief all over TV, drink cans and such, but whether or not the fans will see why is due to the epic question; to fanboy or not to fanboy? If people truly believe there's all this marketing because he's a good character and they are good games that could do as well without marketing, it's naivety.

As for the graphics, people are confusing "I like Halo's look better.", with what game actually has better graphics.

The point people are making is that this game doesn't deserve the hype nor praise it is getting. If it's a game you like or love, fine, but the hype its getting does not reflect the quality of the game.

I'm actually surprised at the amount of people truly voicing disappointment, but many will convince themselves to like it even if they don't. As someone said to me earlier;

"When a game is coming out that I am interested in, I'll say I think it looks amazing if it does, but I won't say it IS until I play it and until it proves me right. Halo 3 fans have been saying it all along because they simply know that it won't be anything amazing.".

And it's true.

I'm not in here being viciously abusive toward people OR the game, but I've already been met with many fanboyisms and rants telling me to get out, just because people can't hack the truth.

Took the words out of my mouth AC. Gears of War does have better graphics but to be fail it took $10 million to make Gears of War. Just saying.

$10 million to make Gears of War with a great game, amazingly dynamic playing/combat system, some of the best graphics on the system or any other system, not to mention it was the debut in the series.

There was no other game like it at the time, now or before to be fair. It hadn't had a quarter of the marketing or anywhere near as much overall budget that Halo 3 did, which was something like $50 million.

If you're spending $50 million on a game, or worse, THIRD game in a series, make it BETTER than "It's basically the last one with better graphics, some new modes, guns and vehicles.". Especially since most of them only really happen to be noticeable in multiplayer anyway, which isn't anything to do with Halo, it's to do with the internet and connecting with others. It's not something Bungie made up, it's something they simply made use of. $50 million to end up with Halo 2.5 is unacceptable, or it should be.

$10 million for Gears is nothing, compared. Gears and Bioshock aren't out there trying to play catch-up with Halo 3, it's usually the Halo fans who feel the odd burden to prove "their" game is better. I discuss the various games, but ultimately I'm not trying to rabidly prove Gears or Bioshock are better games, I'm confident enough that they just are.

Fun game. Fun playing it on Co-op. Glad I bought it.

Awesome game, not a "fan boy" of the series.. but im loving it..

Graphics are decent, can't complain, but it does look a lot better then the first two of course...

I can't say i like it more or less then bioshock or gears...
