The Official Halo 3 Thread

With the waning prevalence of 3rd party exclusives, MS really needs a great 1st party lineup to separate the 360 from the PS3 (which inherently has Blu-ray exclusively). It's hard for me to see the closing of studios and their reluctance to pick up other developers as good things.

Agreed. That along with the entire mess of hardware stability for the XBOX 360.

My XBOX 360 just died the other day, E73. Over a year old so it isn't covered. FTL.

Can't say I know them, but if you really wanna hit 50 you might want to enlist the aid of Trasher's roommates. ;)

BOOSTER!

BAN HIM!

:lol

Edit: Ok, then that's a solid team of 4. Juices, Sai-Kun, Shin and myself. LETS DO IT.
 
A conspiracy theory of mine that I've been nursing for months now is that MS is letting all its star studios and third party partners go because they're prepping an exit from the space...

Xbox is most likely going to end up Third this generation when the dust settles, MS has put in billions of dollars into the division across 2 hardware generations with meager/no returns, etc.

To me, letting Bungie go, letting Bioware and Bizarre get away from you, closing FASA and Ensemble... these all seem like actions the company would be taking if there were no plans for an Xbox 720. Could be signs of a slow wind-down of MS's videogame business.

I don't TRULY believe that this is the case, FYI. But it's possible!

Yeah, from our perspective, it's difficult to see some of these changes as positive, but I'm going to remain optimistic for Microsoft's future products when it comes to software, as they've published some really awesome stuff this generation. They also have the Halo franchise in their hands and Frank O'Connor at the helm, and I can't help but be optimistic in that regard because they seem to be serious about making sure that the franchise goes in a direction the fan's can respect. I don't think I (or anyone else for that matter) could say that if they didn't have a long time Bungie employee and Halo fan pulling the strings over there.

I feel bad for the guys at Ensemble and everything I've seen thus far makes Halo Wars a day one purchase for me. Hopefully those talented folks are snatched up quickly so they can stay busy.

I always thought it'd be cool if Eazy and I could work together for once and achieve a 50 together. What a
unlikely
day that'd be.

I am not entirely sure why you are calling Jironimo names when the same picture he posted is Domino's avatar lol. So every time Domino posts the thread is NSFW?

I get back to the University pretty soon. Once I'm back there using their kick-ass internet there will be nothing to stop us!
With the exception of the Trueskill system.
 
I am usually on after 7 or 8est...mon-thurs. On Friday usually late night and drunk and only good for social games.

This weekend I am free of girlfriend duties so I will be on a lot. My user name is my gamertag so send an invite and away we go :)
 
alright, gotta go dig a trench and then it is pure map making and halo.

i've already decided that one of the areas i make will be ghaleon's room. it will be wonderful

I just made a Halo 3 video! Put the Deftones song "Xerces" in it, because that song can make anything amazing. Check it folks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkhGXMZpORU
Here's a story overview of "Halo 3"...

Taking place shortly after the events of the comic mini-series, Halo: Uprising, Halo 3 begins with the Master leaf entering Earth's atmosphere...
I stopped there. lol.

Is this video proof that AR is indeed better than BR????

No, but you got one sick elbow dood. ;-P
 
Man, just played this game after my mate had my copy for like 4 months.

Forgot how good this game looks and plays. But unfortunately I forgot how rusty I was and got my ass handed to me.

It's still as frustrating as ever to get the n00b scenario of SWEARING you unloaded an entire clip into a guy only to die with a couple of shots with the BR. :lol
