Halo 3

Can we get back to discussing Halo 3's campaign, multiplayer, saved films, etc?

For the campaign....what did you guys think about it? And it's opening cutscenes?

Spoiler:
I gottay say the campaign and its story felt much more cohesive and inspired this time around. It just felt deeper. The opening cutscene with MC landing on his flat ass after he jumped of Truth's ship was shocking to me. I would not have imagined the Chief would take a jump that high...even if Spartans had jumped from the atmosphere in the novels...I just didn't think Bungie would do something like that. It was awesome. And it was funny how the Chief's armor locked up and forced him to stand still. I feel bad that Arbiter's story was kicked back to the shadows....but hey at least he got pawn Truth with badassery. Not to mention who knows if Bungie will include an add-on levels to develop the Arbiter a bit more.

Why would I post them? I'm arguing for Gears, not Halo, that's your territory.

I'll chill until you decide to post the tech specs (Wouldn't it be funny if someone else did, and you said you knew? That'd be funny, cos you'd probably take that, where as you said I didn't know).

So until you can back your argument, I'll just wait.

And I'm not arguing for Halo 3 being better I've said they are even so I have nothing to really prove.

If you don't post the specs then you can not prove the point you've been trying to make.

which is what is so funny.

Your trying to turn this into me proving something your the one who has said he can prove something now your saying you won't. 😆

Still waiting.

You've not posted ANYTHING yet, it's becoming clearer...

You can't say they're even because you don't know, just say you don't know.

Anyway, waiting for it.

I agree completely. The Chief's durability is up there, now.

Why are you so intent to PROVE a game better than the other? IMO Gears was overrated as hell, but that's the thing, it's a f*ckin opinion!

It is an opinion, and I'm not out to prove one game is better than the other. Read the thread, it's just about graphics. Just graphics specs, which are objective, not opinion.

I do, I got them because I wanted to be sure you weren't lying or editing, because I gave you the credit to assume you actually had them, could find them or had...anything.

You don't, you haven't.

Still waiting on it.

I'm sorry that I only read up until this post but its just too funny not to comment on. You basically just said that HALO'S multiplayer isn't actually part of HALO... its just Xbox live. OF COURSE! Why on earth would HALO'S multiplayer have anything to do with HALO? I mean that just wouldn't make any sense at all now would it. Wow thats brilliant. You just said one of the most utterly ridiculous statements I have ever heard while trying to avoid some of the best (and innovative) parts of this game. Good job.

No really go pat yourself on the back for that one. 😉

I said the multiplayer, the ability to play with others via live, is not something Bungie or Halo created, they just use it. Unless they invented online multiplayer...did they?

Don't let the door hit you etc.

So until you can actually post the proof you have it Halo 3 and Gears are equal in Graphics 😉

You can wait all you want if you have them then you better post them to prove me wrong because if you don't then your entire point is unproven because you haven't supplied the evidence to support it.

What gives you such knowledge? Now you're the one dodging. Answer the question and post the proof, I only have the specs so I can tell if you're lying.

That's a stupid point. People thought the Earth was flat just because they didn't know better, it's always been round.

I'll be waiting on two things:

A) Your graphics knowledge.

B) Halo 3 specs. You'll get no reply 'til I see either.

Multiplayer does not need to be online.

People praise Halo's multiplayer because of live, let's not be silly and pretend that's not why it's praised.

So I guess third person shooters isn't something that GoW created so they probably shouldn't get credit for it. 👆

Which is fine by me if you can not 😉

Who's giving them credit for third person shooters? Or is this another "Read something in AC's post that isn't there." thing?

Not really, it's the multiplayer in general.

No, it's quite clearly Xbox live, with its millions of members interacting with each other. That's the phenomenon, that's what gets praised, not dragging four controllers or another Xbox around to your friend's house.
