Alright, so I edited an old thread of mine so we won't have to keep posting in the Halo 3 thread about other 360 games. This thread was also a Halo 3 thread (go figure) but I edited it to make it a 360 game thread.

In the Electronic Gaming Monthly article, they said that the multiplayer still has an entire coat of graphical work planned. The single player, on the other hand, was semi-ready, and EGM said it looked incredible. I'm not that big of a Halo fan, personally, but I definitely will get this game and you all know you will too.

Meh I wouldn't bother preordering. It's really not that big of a deal. If they are sold out, new shipments will come in less than a week most likely.
I remember back when Halo 2 came out there were plenty of copies at Costco available after the launch.

I think it'll be awesome. It seems like it's combining elements of Halo 1 as well (they have a new Assault Rifle type thing instead of the Battle Rifle). I really hope they get rid of dual wielding, well at least, most of it.
It was cool at first but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I hope they'll have a few dual wielding type of guns but not too many. It started to annoy me when the game started and it was everyone scrambling to find a good weapon combo then running into enemies and circling around each other just spraying whatever you have at each other hoping that your combo is better.
The little kids who scream and yell and the guys who think they're the shit always annoyed me too, but there's not much you can do about that.
I hope they learned their lesson in Halo 2 when it comes to more freedom in the environment. I hated how you were kind of constricted to a path in Halo 2 whereas in Halo 1, it was a very big, open, and spacious environment with beautiful structures that you could actually walk up to.

Bungie cannot predict a launch date to save their lives. They could at least predict it later rather then sooner, so if they release it earlier people will be happy. Instead they make an estimate which they can never meet and then piss people off with multiple delays.

From the EGM article it seemed like they were going to keep the Battle Rifle in addition to having the new and improved Assault Rifle. Also, it seemed like they were keeping the dual wield option, but taking steps to make it so that the game doesn't favor duel wielding as much as Halo 2 did.

Duel needlers are the bomb. I'm glad they'll tone down the plasma pistol even though that's one of my favorite weapons. I'm skeptical on what they'll change, but I think they'll pull through with good gameplay.

I SUCK at Halo 2 now. (
When I want to zoom in, I always hit the left trigger and end up throwing a grenade.
When I want to throw a grenade, I always hit the right button and switch my grenades.
When I want to talk, I just talk, but half the time I can't be heard because you have to keep pressing the talk button and I always forget. I got better at pressing the talk button towards the end though. P
I'm getting my Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 controls all mixed up with Halo 2. x
I'm not interested in Halo 2 at all anymore and it makes me sick just thinking about it. Nothing about it sounds exciting to me. I could get good again once I adjust to the controls but it's not even worth it to me because I'm not enjoying it.
I'm still interested in Halo 3 though. )

Man, Gears of War is taking the whole damn spotlight. Has anyone even played Splinter Cell Double Agent? That game is AMAZING, my laptop can barely run it. I had to turn everything down just to get 45fps and I want to get Rainbow Six Vegas too.
Can't wait for Halo 3, I hope the campaign is much longer than 2. Maybe when 3 comes out, they will fix most of those multiplayer woes (Battle rifle and plasma pistol)

Halo 2 has always disappointed me. There is just something about Halo CE that could get me emotionally excited and Halo 2 never really could do that for me.
Halo 2 is much more noob friendly than Halo CE in my opinion. There are a ton of things that I don't like in multiplayer. I sincerely hope that the multiplayer ends up more like Halo CE's multiplayer. I'm not saying they should go completely old school; there are just some things that need to be taken off from Halo 2 like the auto aim and the startup weapon (a crappy SMG). Dual wielding just annoys me and I wouldn't care if it was completely gone. The sword is WAY overpowered and it defies physics. There are just things like that that I didn't like.

Alright, as the first post says, we can just post about all 360 games here so we don't have to keep posting in that "halo 3?" thread or make new threads about 360 games.
Anyway, so no one has bought Mass Effect? I rented Assassin's Creed last week and I recently beat it. Right now I'm on Mass Effect and I must say that Mass Effect is one of the best single player games I've ever played. If you're thinking about buying Assassin's Creed you should consider getting Mass Effect instead (even though they're very different).
I guess you guys are just too obsessed with CoD4 right now. P

I rented CoD4, pretty fun. I wanted to rent Assassin's Creed, but they didn't have it. And, since I took the entire week off (paid days off rock), I wanted to get something to play, so I went with CoD4.

I wish the single player game was longer -- the night time air plane strike level was my favorite as well as the sniper one. The multiplayer blows any other multiplayer game on the Xbox out of the water.

I don't know... you sure about that? I haven't played CoD4 but that's saying a lot when Halo 3 is out there too. I know people like bashing Halo 3 but with online and offline coop, social games with your friends over, matchmaking, forge, theatre, and etc, I think Halo 3 is one hell of a multiplayer game. I suppose it is all a matter of opinion, but in my opinion, Halo 3 is definitely the best multiplayer game on the 360 right now. Of course my opinion is biased and flawed because I've never even played CoD4 yet. But from what I've seen of CoD4, it looks fun and all, but when it comes down to it, I don't think it could ever last me as long as Halo 3.

How long did it take you to finish AC? I've been playing it but there's a lot of unneeded stealthing required and these guards seem to randomly attack me no matter what (blended on foot or horse). Should I forget the stealthing and just fight everyone who bothers me?
I think AC got higher ratings since the producer is hot.
J4320
21-11-2007 14:10:00
I think I beat it in like 3 or 4 days. Something like that. Anyway, yeah I just fought everyone that attacked me. It's actually a really easy game thanks to the counter attack you can do. I occasionally ran but it was a pain in the ass because a lot of the times right when I was about to jump into those rooftop garden things they'd see me and it'd turn back to red. Then again, sometimes you can find a hiding spot right away. I found it more fun and usually somewhat faster to just kill them. If you're having trouble fighting then have them chase you to a rooftop. Then just keep grabbing them and throwing them off while occasionally attacking with your sword(s).
But yeah, later in the game I guess you build up a reputation and the guards know you're Altiar. The game was fun but it felt like I was doing the same thing over and over.
1. Go to city
2. Scout points
3. Do 2 things to get information
4. Kill target

I just bought VF5 a few days ago and now my xbox freezes with a bunch of little blocks on the screen... No RRoD, it just locks up. cry
The question now Is Microsoft going to honor the 3 year warranty if its not RRoD, but is inoperable after 5 minutes?
P.S. VF5 kicked ass for the few minutes I got to enjoy it. )

Well from what I've heard it has to be the 3 RLOD for the 3yr warranty.
If it's locking up, just leave it on for a bit here and there, it'll probably reach the 3 rlod eventually.

A while ago, my 360 broke so I sent it in and they sent me a refurb. Eventually, the refurb stopped recognizing 360 discs. I called and they said my warranty was expired. I was pretty pissed so I called back and said my 360 was getting the red rings of death. They sent me a box, I sent it in, and they fixed my 360 and sent it back.

I'm getting back into Halo 3 now. I got the new maps and all. It's fuuuuuuuuuuuun. Now that I'm playing it again, I can't decide which one I like more... CoD4 or Halo 3. CoD4 is great and all, but Halo 3 is WAY more competitive and I like that. Playing Team Doubles in Halo 3 makes my heart race when it's 24 to 24 (25 kills to win). In CoD4, if we're losing I'm like, "Bah what the hell. I'm getting points for the kills anyway."
