Halo 3 is going to kickass tho. I got mine pre-ordered and plan on playing it all night, w00t w00t. Online will be packed. Finally it has 4 player co-op.

28-08-2007 11:45:03

here is my racist theory to the question "what is a chick women"

a chick is yellow and can grow up to be a rooster also known as a cock

therefore, a chick women is an azn lady that resembles a cock

i met a guy today at the hotel I'm staying at that is a legit 37 on Halo2. He plays with Walshy who I guess is one of the best. I'm a decent player and this guy killed me. We had to put on a handicap so I even would have a chance.

Wow I'm pumped for Halo 3. I haven't really had much hype up until now. The 25th is gonna be fun. I'm catching a Chevelle concert in Seattle and I'm considering going to the Halo 3 launch party at Best Buy. "You could score some free swag, get a chance to play Halo 3 with local celebrities in on-site Game with Fame sessions, and be there for the countdown to launch!" Free swag sounds good... I'm more pumped about seeing Chevelle though. I'll probably get home around 300 AM and I'll have school the next day. lol

21-09-2007 01:04:18

Haven't used any discounts yet, but hopefully will soon wink As for security, it's actually pretty lax. It differs from hub to hub, but at mine there are 2 old guys that wand you down if you make the metal detector go off. I've heard at some hubs there isn't any security at all lol I guess if you were desperate you could chuck the package over the fence or something shrug

JKirk

21-09-2007 07:39:10

Haha, that's awesome that you got to hold it. I reserved two copies on accident actually, so I'm just going to go ahead and pay for both at two different places and if anyone needs one let me know and I can overnight it the 26th for a price of course. I'm definitely going to the midnight launch!

I can't wait for the 25th. Chevelle concert + Halo 3 Seattle Launch Party featuring free stuff and matches against "celebs" + all nighter playing Halo 3 with friends = quite possibly best day of the year so far. School is going to absolutely suck the next day. lol

I haven't popped in my copy yet. I think they said that we'd get it on or before the 24th. The packages are marked 'Saturday Delivery' so they wanted us to have it today.

That swag bag is for the press to review and then it has to go back (read in the link), so it's not really swag.

J4320

22-09-2007 12:52:15

^ Yeah. It's weird how they put his gamertag on the bag though. A lot of people were getting pissed off at the guy reviewing the swag because in his video review he was going through the bag like a 6 year old and throwing everything aside and treating it like worthless junk.

I kick ass at halo 2, but I haven't played it for a while.
Normally I would be hella excited about Halo 3, but my 9 y.o. nephew, who lives in Missouri, is borrowing my Xbox 360. I told him I wanted it back for Halo 3 but he seems to have a lot of fun with it. Sometimes he calls me and tells me he did something cool in Oblivion (Oblivion is his favorite game), and that he is getting real far in it.

So I don't have the heart to ask for it back. I guess I'll just wait until Christmas because that's when I'm going to see him next.

tml09

23-09-2007 06:28:56

I havent played through all of it, but im on mission 6 out of 8, and I must say it is amazing

Graphics 9.8/10

Its amazing, plain and simple. The environments are greatly detailed, Sgt. Johnson looks sooo different (in a next gen way), Cortana is, well, much more "detailed", and I love how you can walk in sand and turn around and see your foot prints. And how if you walk in water, you turn around and see a trail. And how if you are killed and land in water, you float up. ITS GREAT! the shadows arent half bad either, and the sky is amazing.

Gameplay 9.5/10

Same old halo, but with a twist. The rb and lb are used for reloading while dual wielding, and some new guns and new grenades have been added. The ai plays beautifully. The new special items, i.e. the deployable cover, the Regerator, and power drain to name a few, add a great twist to combat. Also, its great how you can pull off a turret (yes, pull off a turret) and use it to shoot people (drawbacks are moving slower and a limited ammo capacity). The only thing I didnt like was that the Human ai sometimes just does nothing ie If you go in a Mongoose or Warthog in the passenger seat, they sometimes dont drive, and if you want to kill a wraith while there are 2 Shade cannons shooting at you, it gets kinda annoying that you cant shoot them because u have to drive. Thats just me. Maybe u like to drive -)

Sound 10/10

The score is beautiful. Thumbs up to Marty, he knows whats up. The Arbiter sounds a bit different, as do the grunts and Miranda Keys, but its not a bad thing. Overall, everything sounds like it should

Replay value 9/10

There are skulls, but I have yet to find one. Im gonna spend another few trips thru capaign finding them. The Forge is also nice and you could have fun editing multiplayer maps.

Overall 9.8/10

Overall a beautiful game so far. The new features are great and only add to the fun. This game went far beyond my expectations. The cutscenes are beautifully done, and everything about seemed nearly perfect. I dont think they could have done anything more to improve the game, and that is why I give it a 9.8/10

yeah i have had a lot going on. i was playing rappelz like crazy and then stopped cold turkey. doing applications and stuff. I am very tempted to head out to walmart tomorrow morning and pick up a copy with my walmart gc. i also have a game ready to be ordered at the trainn games site.
problem is that if i get too addicted i wont get stuff done that i need done )
i think i can get it and show some self-control )
not going to play 2nite though.
i also have a fresh gold membership to add onto my expired one, plus the 1 month i got free when they were fixing my 360.
not sure what i am going to do, but i am sure halo will be sweet )

Gah Halo 3 bugged me today.

If any of you know what Company of Heroes is, it's one of the best RTS' out to date (rated 96% by PC Gamer). It's a WWII RTS, and has such amazing detail in graphic models, that many thought it was an FPS.

ANYWAY, the expansion pack came out today, same day as halo 3, and I pre-ordered it at gamestop. Walked in to grab it on my way to work, and it was jam packed with halo fans. That was probably the most annoying part of my whole day..the cashier even seemed automatically ready for me to say I pre-ordered halo 3. When I said I pre-ordered Opposing Fronts, he gave me an odd look, lol lol

I'll get halo 3 when my 3 red light bug is fixed on my 360...which according to microsoft, thats another 2-3 weeks...

That's stupid. I hate it when games do that. I think GoW does it too. You didn't beat it on heroic; you beat it on legendary, therefore you should get legendary only.

You will see how the very end of the Legendary Halo 2 ending ties into Halo 3. Same goes for Halo 1 to 2 (only difference between Halo 1 endings was to show that Sgt. Major was still alive despite Cortana saying that all life forms were deceased).

But there is still a gap between Halo 2 and 3, apparently they are releasing the filler in the form of HALO Uprising (A four-part book series being published by Marvel Comics, Issue 1 is already available and Issue 2 will be released in October).

http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_Uprising

I won't spoil the ending for those that haven't finished Halo 3 yet, but I have the feeling that the true ending is the exact opposite of the events post-Halo (I'm sure I could look it up on YouTube, but I don't want to spoil it for myself).

I have no problem with a warranted bashing or unbiased comments based on what is obvious, but the entire article seems bent on trying to say the game is like the previous versions. The article is just one sided, much like most of the articles in NYT. This is the equivalent to saying, "you just don't agree with me on the war because you are naive". The graphics are amazingly better, the triangle of weapons is rebalanced and shooting is no longer the only way to kill people, the additional features like the four person online co-op. To try to make the claim it is the same is just silly.

h3x

29-09-2007 00:59:12

What is even more surprising is that the game actually runs native at 640p, but the method they used is very clever.

They used 2 frame buffers (instead of one) rendering at 1152x640 for high and low dynamic ranges.

Then, the 2 frame buffers are combined so that not only will you get up to full 1080p resolution via the Xbox 360 scaler, but you'll get also get amazing lighting effects as well... I'm sure that you'll see more games being released using this method.

[quotee9447aa251]This ability to display a full range of HDR, combined with our advanced lighting, material and postprocessing engine, gives our scenes, large and small, a compelling, convincing and ultimately “real” feeling, and at a steady and smooth frame rate, which in the end was far more important to us than the ability to display a few extra pixels. Making this decision simpler still is the fact that the 360 scales the
“almost-720p” image effortlessly all the way up to 1080p if you so desire.

In fact, if you do a comparison shot between the native 1152x640 image and the scaled 1280x720, it’s practically impossible to discern the difference.[/quotee9447aa251]

The review was positive overall (metacritic assigns the NYT review an 81), he even says the multiplayer is a "beautifully designed multiplayer experience." You say he bashed it because he sucks at MP but all he does is praise it. He just says the solo campaign is forgettable. Are we reading the same article?

Here's the link of what I read, just to make sure we're on the same page.
http//www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/technology/circuits/27games.html?ref=circuits[]http//www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/technology/circuits/27games.html?ref=circuits

So again, if we are reading the same review, you're just upset that he isn't praising it to death lol. You bring up the war but aren't you the one that's all upset that someone doesn't agree with you completely? If you already say the NYT is "one sided," who's the biased one?

Well yeah, but what they said is just damage control after some people were pissed about it not being 720p. That Bungie quote is nothing but explanations as to why they couldn't reach 720p. Otherwise they would've talked this frame buffer aspect up before the release (not that they need to to sell the game). There are some people on xbox scene that complain about the resolution being not as sharp on their 1080p screens. I think those people complaining about it being 640p are just nit pickers anyway, although the Halo 3 box claims it is HD, which has to be 720p at a minimum.

Damn, that sucks. It's your 360 that's bad and not the disc (read problems about it not counting the limited edition packaging problem)? If it's past the one year warranty for the DVD drive, wait until you get it to RRoD so you can have them replace it.

I know it's the DVD drive that's malfunctioning. It rarely works with any 360 games but it works fine with Xbox games. I'm gonna go to Target and buy a core 360 today then send my original 360 back for repairs. Then I'll just return the core to Target. I MUST keep playing Halo. lol

[quote70c5b0f92d="J4320"]That sounds kind of... dirty. lol

But yeah sorry about that. RIGHT when he adds me I did something that took me back to the dashboard then my 360 didn't recognize my disk at all. I restarted it for probably 20 minutes straight just to trying to get it working but it wouldn't work. It really pisses me off. Normally it only takes around 10 restarts to work and recognize the disk. Time to get a new 360. |[/quote70c5b0f92d]

Download "Buttscream" and watch it (strange name, I know). It's rly funny (only like 8 seconds). That was during a ranked game of double team and the other player just happened to be there at the right moment when I slid out of the anal cavity. The other player was oblivious to the opening of the anus even though he should have checked when it made the opening noise.

Grats! What did the 1st place winner get?

The most action I got yesterday was a "killing frenzy", killing 13 people in a row lol This was during team slayer, but my team was horrible. I got like 20 kills, and they each had 4 lol Im pretty sure im just not a sucky as they are, but I am in no way a "halo god"

so i love the game, i must say.
Single player was a wonderful experience of gorgeous scenery and great game play.
the AI is better in this version. I will have to see what legendary is like but I beat it on heroic thursday. only problem i had was that i got a disc read error at the end of one of the chapters so i did not get credit for beating that chapter -> no credit for beating it on heroic.
Initially i thought all of the weapons that u can dual wield were horrible. but then i discovered that dual wielding a mauler with a rapidly firing weapon is quite effective.
also, utilizing your ability to shoot from a distance, especially with weapons from vehicles helps greatly in single player.

Agreed.... you are no longer able to dual wield the needler(in multiplayer at least) people are getting really good using the needler online. I find that dual wielding the SMG's is VERY effective online in the maps that it is available on. Working with a team and you being the support fire with the SMG's is awesome. Overall the game is terrific.

I don't bother searching the map for dual weildable stuff. It's all about the well placed grenades followed up with a spray and melee from the assault rifle while going for the rockets, sniper, shotgun, etc. Grenades are crucial to being a good player.

Anyway, the Orange Box is 4 Half-Life games and Team Fortress 2. It came out on the 10th. It's AWESOME and it's DEFINITELY worth your money.

I dont go around looking to dual wield certain guns... But when you run across them especially in the Pit, and The level where you have to fly from one end of the map to the other, it is usefull to pick up the SMG's along your travels.

try the mauler dualwield with a rapid fire gun. i find it just as effective against good players as a shotgun.

COD4 is incredible. I'd say it is the best of the 4.

3 was worse than COD1 and 2 since it was not developed by infinity ward, who did COD1, 2, and came back to make COD4.

Lone wolves is pretty kick ass right now since im at level 40. Everyone is very evenly matched.

I have been playing doubles lately with a friend and that is pretty sweet too. Lots of teamwork involved in the higher levels.

I dont know what you guys are talking about halo crashes. Halo has never crashed for me before.

And as for the best dual weild combo....id say go for that dual spikers and finish up with a melee.

Tell me how the new maps are then. Not sure if I will buy them yet.
