question about video play back....

there is no rewind, right trigger goes foward slowmo but the left does not rewind, nothing does. unless you reverse and skip entire sections. what's up with that?

It's not actually video playback and can't be manipulated as easily?

3. It was a replacement or something, being created by the Ark to take it's place in the Halo array.

It wasn't a replacement for the first Halo. On top of being a safe place for the Forerunners, the Ark was also a manufacturing facility for the Halos. The Halo that appears had been under construction when whatever happened to the Forerunners happened.
 
I agree about the pacing. I was always doing different stuff. I played this game in a very short timespan (2 days), which I usually am not prone to do but I didn't need to force myself to go back to it, I wanted to cause I was always doing different things.
I also like how well the gameplay scales from small tight awesome corridor fights to big and epic, to vehicle combat, to aircombat.
I also like the direction of the cutscenes, some very very cool and beautiful compositions

I played once on normal. Once on Legendary Solo. Once on Legendary Co-OP. Once on Legendary Meta-game.

Only two achievements I need are 3 kills with the sword and 4 kills in 4 seconds.

So you have...THE FINAL SKULL???

If they didnt make it back through the portal before the ring fired...shouldnt they have been 'extinguised' along with all other life within however many light years it was?

The Halo didn't fire like it was designed because it wasn't finished. Cortana said it basically shook itself apart. I don't think they ever clearly say that it even exploded in some manner. I assume whatever happened didn't kill all the flood beings left on the Ark.

They say clear as day that it's a replacement though.

The ending says that the portal closed while they were inside it iirc, meaning they were a safe distance from the halo when it fired.

The final skull is silver and has nothing to do with achievements.

Yeah, Stinkles corrected me in a PM.

You know its a replacement because the same Index from the first Halo still works. Makes sense...

Also, Stinkles said all the Flood were killed in the Halo explosion (or whatever happened)
 
Just finished level 8, and goodness does it suck. I think the bungie had no choice to make a level like that, but why do all the flood levels suck so much ass?
 
I hadn't given my 360 such beating as today. Since 8AM (7PM now) and it hasn't been shut off for a second. Halo 3 is amazing, no game has ever addicted me such as this.

Hey, there are plenty of good flood levels.
Besides, that level is a very strategic yet frantic level. Nothing wrong with that.
 
Can someone please tell me if there's a skull on the Crow's Nest without telling me where it is? Thanks!

ahh but if it can go forward in fast fwd or slow mo then why can't it go back the same way?

would make getting that perfect screen grab that much easier if so.

One question/nitpick about the legendary ending


If they didnt make it back through the portal before the ring fired...shouldnt they have been 'extinguised' along with all other life within however many light years it was?

I think they did make it through they just went somewhere other than Earth. Cortana says in the ending they made it but "somebody Didn't" referring the the Arbiter. Maybe they entered the portal but didn't exit the portal. Putting them in a limbo that sent the somewhere else.

I wonder if this has something to do with Chief being The Reclaimer. It sent him somewhere else on purpose.

Also, READ THE ARTBOOK KIDS! It is written from the forerunner perspective and gives new insight into what happened 100,000 years ago.
 
False advertising, my damn halo states 720p/1080i/1080p I want a refund... maybe if enough people bitch we'll get something out of it... worked on the iphone :lol oh wait

Now that they're all back home they can work on new BTB maps.

It might be that the physics engine in the game can't really cope with going backwards. Or something like that.
 
Having HDR as well-used as it is in H3 is much greater than the extra 80p IMO. Now it would have been cool if you could disable HDR for multiplayer (and split screen) and get the extra pixels for clarity, but I digress.
 
Wow, been away 4 days and it feels like an eternity!

I need someone who is awesome at Forge to come help me with my rebuilt-from-the-ground-up Warzone Forge/Bomb gametype. So far I think I've made it pretty cool but I need some help setting up spawns and finding a couple things the guy who made the empty Sandtrap map forgot to get rid of..

Last nights GAF game:

TOTAL FUCKING WIN!

Rocket Race lived up to and past it's reputation!

And I played with Frankles! Then the abandonment, then the depression, sorrow, and blood.

Has anybody had any problems with the Legendary DVD? The DVD is warped in a place and it freezes my 360 when I try to look at it.. :(

Who should I talk to about getting a replacement?

You actually hear him several times throughout the game.

He's listed in the credits in the game's manual, I think that's confirmation enough.
 
also.. IWHBYD skull is the only way to unlock the Hayabusa ( ninja) armor permutation. You need all skulls in the game to get it all.
