Agreed.

GoW was in-your-face action because of the close environments...but in Halo it can get so intense when you have Wraiths, Banshees, Grunts in Turrets, Choppers and even snipers to worry about all at the same time in an open field. If that does not describe intense I don't know what will.

I have, and I have been destroyed. I already know for a fact that playing lone wolf gets you killed against MLG's, but honestly 90% of the time you're just playing some random joe on LIVE, not an MLG with his buddies, so you don't have to worry about it. Though yesterday I played against four bungie guys who helped build Halo 3's matchmaking system.. I kicked there asses in team objective.

And before anyone says anything.. I don't like the lonewolf mentality. I'm a team player, which is why I prefer GOW's multiplayer to Halo's.

I just got too used to playing Hardcore on Halo 2--which is the MLG equivalent in matchmaking. I played against a team of bungie employees last night. They had the fancy recon helmet and it was VIP on the Pit. I was totally ripping them a new one. Then their VIP spawned in the second floor room in the base(you know...the room you don't have any access to unless you spawn there) He camped there for over 8 minutes. Our VIP died...we lost. Cheap ass mother ****ers.

Compare it to Call of Duty 4, which runs at 60 fps.

Most games on the 360 run at 30 fps. Bioshock, GOW, R6:Vegas, Ghost Recond, Oblivion, Orange Box

Oblivion aside, I'm surprised those games are choking xbox

framerate is pretty important for games that require reflexes

30 fps is the standard for home systems, for the most part. I'm sure if the developers really put in the effort they could increase the FPS of most of those games, but they hit 30 fps and that's 'good enough' and they move on to other aspects in order to hit their release schedule.

It's not like 30 FPS is that big of a deal.

The only game I've noticed with 60 FPS is Madden 08.

I was reading some reviews for Crysis, and alot of people were complaining that systems couldnt get over 60 FPS but when its near 30-40 FPS, they barely noticed it.

Yeah, it's still perfectly playable at 30 fps.

But man, after playing COD4, which runs at 60, and going back to playing Halo 3 or something, it's really noticeable. You don't realize it until you get used to 60 fps and then try and go back to 30.

whats so fun about death matches?

Yeah, definitly.

Look at Madden 08 comparision video between the 360 and PS3 version.

Very noticeable.

Yeah.

It's even more noticeable in FPS games.

People should use COD as the new standard, there is no reason they couldnt have gotten Halo to run that fast.

Yeah, I do agree that Halo 3 could of been better in terms of FPS.

The graphics are not that good.

this game causes to many red rings!!!

Were'd you hear that at?

i got the game

meaning... ?

I've had the game since September 25th and neither I nor millions of other players have had the problem.

EDIT

And SPB, why did you leave in the middle of our game?

🙁

I have had mine since September 25...no red rings...

I just wanted to say that a while ago I bought Halo, just to see what all the fuzz was about. I played the singleplayer campaign for an hour or two, got bored to death and gave up the game, and deemed the series overrated by a billion times. However this week, I finally got a chance at trying the multiplayer parts of Halo, Co-op campaign and Deathmatch, the quality of the game increased tenfolds, so I might give the games another chance. However, would it be stupid to jump straight to Halo 3? Must I play through the other two first to understand the plot etc, or is it independent enough?
