that museum ad rocked

 

[GhaleonEB]

The Gamertag listing in the Online forum is updated again. I also did a few tweaks to the OP; nothing too exciting, just adding the weekly Update and doing some housekeeping. The first two print review scores are in there, in case anyone missed them. I added the new ad in the top section for now, it will show up on the official Believe site soon enough, I'm sure.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I would agree. Having testimonials from real actors gives the commercials a really "human" feel and emotion that the diorama, although cool, can't do. As I keep watching it, I like it more and more.

Yeah, and it's all in the execution. These could have come off as cheesy or awkward if the writing, pacing and acting were not spot on. The line delivery is what really sells the emotion in this one. It does not feel acted out at all.

The other guy kind of got the shaft, though. "I used the shotgun." I wanted to hear more from that dude.

 

[N.A]

One thing I notice is that no one seems blown away. No "OMG" this is the best looking and playing game yet on 360. No going apeshit like what we saw with GOW, Bioshock or even Dead Rising. Makes me wonder what the reviews will be like.

It's the best looking (in parts), best playing game on 360. You don't get those posts as everyone already knows it's going to be awesome.

I've had the game for 3 days and I've probably put in about 25 hours already and I haven't even been able to get on matchmaking yet.

 

[Blueblur1]

"Its because of the Chief." So awesome.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Didn't much like

Spoiler

the last two levels, nor the ending.

(very light spoiler)

Everything up to that point was the best of Halo though.

Spoilers:

Spoiler

Could have used more Flood, and why no threeway battles?

so who all is contemplating legendary their first time through? i'm a glutton for pain.

Heroic is pretty easy, so..

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I'd kill to have one of those Spikers.

stop BS please t_t

 

[Scarecrow]

Man, I've been trying to catch up for the past half week. Lots of stuff goin' on in this thread I see.

All this talk of short game length has solidified my choice of starting out solo-Legendary.

That new Museum trailer was the naz.

Still spoiler free.... I think I might make it!!

"And my job was to crouch around the corner, watching my motion sensor."

You need to look up sarcasm in the dictionary buddy because the way you phrased those sentences wasnt sarcasm.

 

[WickedLaharl]

that new ad was really good

 

[GhaleonEB]

It just keeps going and going.

lol at the flurry of posts. :lol

 

[Scarecrow]

"And my job was to crouch around the corner, watching my motion sensor."

Oh lord. Should I feel ashamed that I do that, too?

Hey I just replayed the last level again and well,

Spoiler

did you sit through the credits? I did this time around, I liked the ending a bit more this time. Even if they didn't address the Other remaining Spartans that are still alive.

 

[ferrex]

Oh lord. Should I feel ashamed that I do that, too?

Nope. That's why there's a shotgun and motion sensor in the game.

And corners too.

Edit: AND LOOK! He's still alive, to be an old veteran!

 

[GhaleonEB]

"And my job was to crouch around the corner, watching my motion sensor."

That's EXACTLY what I was hoping for. :lol

"When they came around the corner, I shot them."

What looks better? The scope argument sounds silly until you actually play the game and see how HUGE it is, and some of the environments look at least as good as any cramped corridor game I've seen on 360. Not to mention some of the best use of color and cleanest art styles on the console.

No, I don't think I did. What changes?

say who? i didnt know walking through an official thread needed an agreement to accept all kind of crap there is into it rofl.

I hope ill be able to pick my copy today so ill have my definitive opinion, but from all the solo video i saw , its really not very next gen (especially the poly count).

my final opinion in 2hours

 

[KookyBastard]

The "shotgun" guy should have said "well I.....I called Long-Rifle..."

Yeah considering Bungie havent officially released any SP videos other than the e3 trailer. So you got a really good look at the models based on off screen footage Im sure.

qft

you haven't even played it (aside from maybe the beta)? you could've held your tongue (fingers) until you did. lets just say i'll expect a less then favorable impression from you.

Im just checking official screens, and gamers opinion (saying the game isnt very good looking , a lot of aliasing, ....) Ill check myself in few hours, but i was still secretly dreaming of a masterpiece visual for the solo part, when it seems it looks like almost the beta multi. Will know soon enough

 

[Treo360]

?

nah

edit: ah, thanks youtube

lol or that :lol

 

[Tieno]

I remember Bungie released an MP video of Halo 3 beta that had a lot of LAZOR kills in it at the end and also cats.
Was that ferrex?

 

[Duke Togo]

Emotions are running high and we've still got 72 hours to go.

you're just flatout trolling now. i mean, how did you come to that conclusion? by some shit screens from ign and one user review? everyone else says it looks great

Mr. Jukes produced that fine video, and it was taken from the Beta.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

The only environments that disappointed me were the rock-and-grass ones, the ones based off of that one level from the beta.

my god, fanboy are so aggressive , its useless to talk. jeez, cool down dude.

 

[Sean]

Does the Legendary edition include the metal tin from the limited edition? or are those just three separate black DVD cases shrink-wrapped together?

 

[ferrex]

For the promo kits they sent out to the press (which is what that's a picture of), they just stuffed a CE into the LE packaging/cat-helmet.

I don't think the retail LE will include the tin.

 

[DrBo42]

That's a specially packed press version. Our Legendary will have 2 separate plastic cases.

Edit: Beaten by Lord Ferrex. Shame upon my family.

So it's just the standard green Xbox 360 game cases right? I would actually prefer that cause I like everything to look the same on my shelf.

The cases are much darker. In fact I think they're black.

 

[WickedLaharl]

well come on. you're the one calling out another poster for what he said about the games graphics, when he has played the damn game and you have not. that is not cool man.

The new ad is nice. Brute Spiker looks like it would be awesome to hold.

Ah, now I remember. Thank you!

 

[Sean]

Blah, thats kinda lame IMO.

I guess those Burger King games will actually come in handy for something then - replacement 360 game cases for my Halo 3 legendary edition.

I sent you a PM ferrex. If you aren't able to answer what I asked I'll understand. I'm sure it's some classified Bungie information. :lol

 

[Xater]

I couldn't believe it myself but I just received Halo 3!!!! Great start for the weekend!
