Halo 3!!!

JLoAct · 05-10-2006, 10:16 PM

So, at around 1PM yesterday, Bungie and Microsoft showed the First trailer of HALO 3,and Bill Gates was Microsoft's so called "special speaker", so if you want to see the trailer go to http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/...cles/halo3.htm, and post here on what you think about the game and trailer in general!

Grandiagod · 05-10-2006, 10:27 PM

The trailer looks good, but then again, Halo sucks.

ToshX · 05-10-2006, 10:30 PM

I'm going to buy this game just because it has "Halo" on the box.

It worked with the first two.

JLoAct · 05-10-2006, 10:49 PM

i told all of my friends to watch the trailer and now they are all getting it, and we're all gonna be obsessed and have live matches like everyday.

ToshX · 05-10-2006, 10:58 PM

It's gonna take probably over a year for it to be released, I mean it's not like they said early 2007.

I mean be excited, but calm down a bit :P

dunlop · 05-10-2006, 10:59 PM

The trailor wasn't that good, and I'm a halo fan.

Bring back the pistol and take the BR away, then all will be good.

Guys ready I found the plot of the game ready here we go.

1) You're master chief.
2) You kill aliens.
3) It doesn't have an ending.
4) Buy the next one which won't have an ending.

But it said end the fight!
Does this mean that... *gasp*.. adverts are not to be believed?

Well my whole world view has just been flopped.

**Squeek** · 05-11-2006, 01:38 AM

You honestly think Microsoft will not milk the Halo fanboys for all they can?

Please this thing is going to go on forever.

Generic FPS ++

I'm still new to these boards, so I can see that my sarcasm went undetected.

I'll try harder in the future

But I agree, they will. Either way, they're making money and I applaud them for doing such that I can not accomplish at this time.

I say, "Whatever works."

Telvanni_guard · 05-11-2006, 05:15 AM

If they end the story for the second one who cares? They can always invent another Halo. Probably a producer of them. I personally didn't care about the story, as interesting as that was... I just liked the game. Can't wait for the third, fourth, fifth, or twentith. As long as they're as fun to play.

**lightdarkness** · 05-11-2006, 06:04 AM

Halo 3? Who knew!

Anyway, I don't play Halo because of the story, I play online. I mean I've beaten the campaign like, twice, but that's about it, in having it for over a year and playing it daily. I must've been online 75 times for every 1 time I bothered with the story mode.

The BR was one of the main things that made Halo 2 fun. The pistol just isn't as cool. It could hit people at a long range sometimes, it had a scope, it did damage in multiple shots, and it could easily kill people in mid-short range. You also have multiple choices of gametypes where you can start out with a BR in every game. Also, BxRing is REALLY FUN WITH A BR. I'll only use a pistol(in Halo 2) if I dual-wield it with a (chargable) plasma pistol, and Halo 1 pretty much makes it a requirement.

Not that the pistol couldn't do a lot of that, but I really liked the multiple shots. I mean, you always either started with a pistol or near a pistol, but it just wasn't as fun. I guess I like bigger weapons.

**Chromer** · 05-11-2006, 09:13 AM

Ok, I'll admit it was more the score to the trailer than the actual trailer itself that got me excited.

So Halo 3 the game? Garbage.

The OST to Halo 3? For the win.

**Synthlight** · 05-11-2006, 10:53 AM

There are 2 great FPS multiplayer games in my book.. Goldeneye on the N64 and Halo2 on the Xbox. If you have not taken the time to learn the options and depth of both, you are missing out.

Sure counterstrike (and cs source) are good fun and so are a few other FPS games but most of them are limited in gametypes and configuration and lack the incredible matchmaking system of Halo2.

And yes, the campaign sucks.

Cheers,

**Tasselfoot** · 05-11-2006, 11:19 AM

Goldeneye will forever be the #1 FPS when we adjust for the system. Not fair to compare the XBox with the N64. Also, Goldeneye was a fairly early N64 game... later games like Mission Impossible and Perfect Dark just couldn't compare, despite having newer functions/technology.

And then there was that one level where you have to poison the Ambassador, follow him to the bathroom, and figure out a way to knock him out with getting his attention. ONE time I actually succeeded in doing this, and then I was loooking around in the bathroom for the Facemaker, and I turn around and BAM there's this chick RIGHT THERE and she blows my face off with a pistol she had in her purse.
It was so hard. ;_;

Anyways, regarding the trailer...

Cortana reminded me a lot of SHODAN, except SHODAN > Cortana x 500000000

**Tasselfoot** · 05-11-2006, 01:05 PM

I have MI for n64... I don't remember it being THAT hard. Just dumb.

I am not comparing graphics or hardware of these games, I am talking strictly about gameplay. Being a huge fan of GoldenEye, I can say that the Halo2 multiplayer system gives me the same feeling of playing a well thought out multiplayer environment where everything works as it should. They are both even on terms of gameplay with Halo2 having an advantage in the area of their matchmaking routines because of the xbox live hookup.
