The Official Halo 3 Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Just wondering what people would think if Bungie were to announce a new Halo game at E3? I realize it's highly highly improbable. I ask because there were some rumours stating that MS was going to pull something astonishing as well as desperate at this years event. Also, I read an interview a while back with some Bungie employee apparently the developer has become big enough to handle separate projects simultaneously.

Oh and what did everyone think of the way Halo 3 ended? Was everyone expecting the warthog rush? At the back of my mind I knew Bungie was going to end it that way but I was really expecting something more along the lines of a giant space battle. Something like the opening scene of Star Wars Episode 3 where you actually get to control a space ship.
So now that everything is said and done...how were you expecting Halo 3 to end (gameplay wise)?

I can't say for sure until I see it.

Despite Halo 3's cutscenes being mostly cheesy and corny, and I was actually quite satisfied with the ending to Halo 3. I wasn't expecting a huge space battle, though, I was expecting to see at least one space battle (thanks, Bungle!). I had no idea what to expect or think of what the end to Halo 3 might be like at the time it was being developed, however, I wasn't expecting a huge throwback to Halo 1.

The Warthog run was epic, though, I was expecting more, much more.
 
I thought this was pretty interesting.

Someone figured out how to get 3 people in a campaign game on a single 360. You're only supposed to be able to have two.
 
So, if 3 player on a single machine is possible (and easy to do, at that) how come Bungie didn't include 3 or even 4 player co-op on a single machine from the outset?

If the ability to have 3 players can be done now, surely 4 players can be only be changing a few lines of code away for the developers.

There's gotta be some hitches some where. No way it was cut down to 2 for no reason.
 
Just while it's on the top of my head...Anyone else think that the glowing symbol on Epitaph looks similar to the Too Human logo? Also, I've got some screens of the coolest Drone encounter I've ever had in campaign coming. I'll post them in the screenshot thread.
 
Remove Head to Head ranked and insert Team Snipers into a locked playlist. Remove Snipers from Social, Team Slayer, and Double Team.

Happiness.
 
We played some July 4th playlist last night, and we got NOTHING but regular/DLC objective stuff; CTF on Avalanche and Ghost Town, etc. The only thing we got that was different was we got Heavy CTF on Avalanche, once. These tales of rockets and FFA and VIP are magical, and I would like to experience them.

The 4th play list is pretty awesome...nothing beats getting to use the OP Gauss Hog. :D

Oh shit, Gauss Hog? I seriously need t check this out. I've been busy with relatives in town and haven't played, but it sounds like the playlist is a lot of fun, I'll have to hop in tomorrow.

That's sweet, but it's odd that the aim cursors are not centered in each screen, where IIRC they are in split screen multi.

I'm guessing when the scarab explodes it runs at about 2fps.

Yeah, from what I've read, there are major framerate issues throughout, not just at moments like that.

Its a fun playlist but I think its replay value might be low. Doubt it would stay interesting for that long.

It's the same as Skirmish except you get BRs and instead of Land Grab and Territories you get the Heavy map variants.

A++ would play again.

Please make Fourth of July a permanent playlist. It's the only playlist I would ever play.

Sign me up. The only problem is some of the gametypes seem to need more players (in particular the heavy varients).

The mans got some love for bungie employees. What are you going to do? :lol :lol

Just some straight man love nothing wrong with that.:D

Theres also an i heart foman123 too I believe. They are my HLG buddies. Guerilla warfare and whatnots.
 
We're 80 million kills away from the 7 Billion goal...

Do we have enough time to make it happen? Shit I'm going to play through the entire campaign once more today to try and help the cause.
 
The Fourth of July playlist is one of the most fun experiances I've had in a long while. Kudos to Bungie for keeping things lively. I don't want it to end.

No. Still averaging 14-15 million kills per day. We're about three days behind.

Shit. Why doesn't Bungie put a message in the game? What if we get it done before Bungie Day is over....

If each player played like five minutes of a level we would hit that amount easily.
 
I'm not sure if youve guys have noticed this, but in the "Inside Xbox" (UK) thing it has a blade talking about Bungie Day. One of the interesting things is the banner, which has the bungie logo and so on, but right next to it has this really colourful fish with big eyes.....kind of the thing you'd get in viva pinata or something.

That would be the Soffish, also in my avatar (stolen from b.net). Read more about this tragically missing fish here.

If there is a Soffish gamerpic, I will feel true joy.
