Halo 3

Started by General G200 pages

Oh, new thing to add to it also, this new disc, I will load a part of a level, then when I get to the next part (how it does the Rally Points when you want to pick where you start), when I get to one of those, it takes me right back to where I started at the first rally point I loaded, even if I die it does this.

Does anyone has access to the new Mythic maps? I was under the impression that the new map would only be available early to those who purchase the Halo Wars special edition on March 3rd but yesterday I went to play Halo 3 and lo and behold, there was the new Mythic playlist active. I thought maybe Halo Wars had came out and I forgot the date. I called the store and they told me it doesnt come out until next week. Does anybody know?

WTF?

I'm going to check out matchmaking right now.

Yeah...the playlist is there and in the Bungie News & Updates section of the pause menu they are saying that if you have acquired the mythic map pack you can already check them out. I freaked out and checked out marketplace but the map pack is no where to be found.

so is the legendary one free yet, or is it never gonna be

Doubt it is ever going to be free.

I freaked out too since Im buying the Halo Wars special edition which includes the maps. I called Xbox Live (always a nightmare calling them, half the time they dont understand what ur saying). As it turns out (according to the rep) they are doing a test run this week but it wont be active to players until Tuesday (March 3rd).

First, Halo Wars has been released already in different parts of the world, so they have access to the maps from like a week ago.

Second, Bungie and Microsoft have been giving out codes to specific individuals for the map packs, don't exactly know how to get these codes though.

Third, Halo Wars comes out for Canada/U.S. folk this coming Tuesday, so you can play the maps then.

I still check Bungie daily 😛

I'm working the midnight launch for Halo Wars Monday night. 😄 and am looking forward to the map pack.

Halo 3 would've been awesome if the story was as exciting as Halo 2 but it isn't. At least that expansion pack "Halo 3 ODST" is coming out.

... Are you saying that you think Halo 2 is beter in story than Halo 3?

Well I felt that Halo 2's story was at least better put together.

I don't think, I know.

Halo 2 story > Halo 3 story

Halo 2's story was good as a fill-in story. But you really have to face it... the story really didn't do anything except fill in alittle background on the covenant, and get the covenant to Earth... twice...

Halo 3's story, however, was the culmination of Humanity's battles against the Covenant, and the fight against the flood. Finally ending in Humanity's final desperate strike against appearantly undefeatable foes.

Ridiculous!! Halo 3's story is better than Halo 2's hands down, just like Halo 3's is better than Gears of War 2's.

Now, hang on, Nac. Halo 2's story Kicks Gears of War 2's story's ass.

Ofcourse.

Nah, it was kind of underwhelming personally.

I found the giant civil war between the elites and the covenant to be much more epic and meaningful to the story.

Bull****! Gears 2's story is way more dramatic than Halo 3's.

Yes, of course... "Eat sh!t and die" It just tugs at the heart strings.

And don't even get me started on the death of carmine...

Well by that same logic, would you consider "Ghost-Ride the whip!" to "tug at the heart strings"?
