DO NOT JUDGE THE GAME UNTIL YOU PLAY THE THIRD LEVEL.
Gotta re ask my question for the new page
I'm at mission 6 and
I'm at mission 6 and
so did we go through that portal the Ark made? Also, where did it take me to? What did we land on exactly, it said Installation 00 but isn't that the first Halo ring? Also please don't spoil anything after the 6th level! Thanks

I thought the first two levels were just okay, but I just beat the third level and it was easily the best level I have ever played in any video game ever. I only hope the rest of the game is that good.siamesedreamer said:
I can't find my rhythm in Multi....
I'm actually a little concerned. I can't put my finger on what has changed from the beta that's killing my game, but it has thrown me completely off. Maybe I've got some extra lag that's not showing up, but all the weapons feel weak to me. I really can't stand the slow weapon switching, it has changed the whole shotgun effectiveness. I never tend to run with the short range weapons out, I just switch quick and fire. The spartan laser feels nerfed, its warm up period feels a hair too long. The human sniper was nerfed but probably for the better ultimately. RIP beta carbine... the needler feels like a real weapon.. that's cool I guess. Also, was walking speed slowed at all, or is it just the larger scale of all the levels that makes it seem like you're walking slower. It's so polished, but its so balanced its kind of boring to me. There is no need to pick up any weapons other than AR / BR.
I hope this feeling passes.

You have to save them first... It's a little clunky and confusing at first.

I see films saved from my campaign though. Those save automatically, yes? So why is it saying I don't have permissions to view user generated content? I'm not the only one having a problem. I wonder if it's because of setting my privacy settings to evade spoilers on xbox.com...

It might not be the game... you might just be like me, and be a REALLY hot & cold Halo player.
Last night my buddy and I were unstoppable. We won something like 8/10. Today I was playing Lone Wolf and got 1st or 2nd five times in a row.
Then I took an hour break, came back and got into a party with some buddies, and we lost EIGHT GAMES STRAIGHT. EIGHT. Without fail, I was losing every single 1v1 face-off. Two shotties? I shoot them, then they shoot me and kill me. Two assault rifles? We fire into each other, close, and melee. I go flying, they live.
Over, and over, and over again.
I went from crushing all in Lone Wolf to losing EIGHT straight, including losing to some players that I *know* I'm better than.
It just happens, sometimes. You'll probably go on a hot streak to even out your early losses. But I def. know how you feel.
I felt every mission had something to offer except for mission 8 and to some extent mission 2.Y2Kev said:
I'm suprised more people haven't pointed out how great mission 6 was. It may be my favorite even over 3.
The Brutes were much better than I expected. "Worthy Fuckin' Adversary"
Halo 3 sucks. I can't believe I fell for the hype machine. The graphics were disappointing especially the character models. The only thing that looked good was the water. I played through the single player and it bored me to tears. The matchmaking service seriously sucks. It would never match me up with a game with no more than 5-10 people. Luckily I was able to sell my copy on ebay for 50 bucks.

Yes, you went through the portal. The Halo ring from the first game was Installation 04. We've never heard of an Installation 00 before. The ones we knew about were 01 through 07.

Why do people say this? Third level is pretty rubbish unless you are in co-op.siamesedreamer said:

You went through the portal on Keyes ship, and landed on a forerunner... Well a bunch is explained by the end of the level.

Any hints for the level that everyone hates.
Any help, I'm at a loss.
it's all gravy until those sniper flood cling to the celing. They just destroy me, and shooting them with a carbine just makes the angry

Did you beat the landing site level?Mojovonio said:

Don't bother fighting them, it's a waste of ammo. You can make it through each room without too much effort if you just think of it as a platforming game. One in which you periodically throw nades around

It isn't to me at all. You just go to the Theatre lobby and then to "Film," then to "Recent Films" and there they are. Watch them, discard them, save them if you want.omg.kittens said:

im surprised by the "halo 2.5" comments when it comes to the graphics.
Before today, I have been playing alot of halo 2 to brushen up my halo skills and to get back into halo before halo 3 came out. So I got pretty use to how halo 2 looked. Today before I put in halo 3....I honestly expected a "halo 2.5" because of what a few reviews said. I honestly thought "well, the graphics arent gonna be on gears or bioshock level...but its halo" so I was going into it only caring about new good halo gameplay...
Once I start the game, I am actually kinda blown away by the graphics...the first level made me say wow. I did not expect the game to look this good. And the more I played, the more I was impressed with the graphics. So these halo 2.5 comments are kinda like...huh? and yea I have played Gears and Bioshock to death....but halo 3 still looks great and up to par as them if not as refined.
Those saying halo 2.5....go back and play halo 2 again then play halo 3. there is a major difference.

What happened last night, dude? Have you explained?armubaba said:
ant1532 said:
No, I'm fairly positive Spark doesn't say anything like that. In fact, I think I remember him saying he doesn't have any information about it. And yes, you're supposed to be confused about what it is. For right now, at least. : )

38 hours. Nearly no sleep. =]
Well, either my Hard drive, Disc, or 360 drive is dying lol. My game save gets corrupted it seems and gives me a disc read error. I can play single player flawlessly with no HD in. It took a lot of work to get single player campaign working and then once it was working it froze up on a load checkpoint and corrupted. I cant play online co-op anymore keeps giving me a disc read error. Multiplayer for hours works perfectly its just single player. Not sure whats up. Tommorow ill try to get some swapping to narrow it down i guess.
Oh man, fuckin sick game and I essentially didn't even touch story mode (not even counting the 15min I played in SD).
A cynic's impressions of 3 person deathmatch in 720p:
Pros:
+ AR is better, wish it had more bullets, but nice to see the gun back, have power and actually be accurate
+ HAMMER!!!!!!!
+ Levels are nice
+ Feels like a real upgrade, yet remains similar
+ Icicles!
+ New guns rock, controls are great
+ Graphics are great, not outstanding, but great
Cons:
- Worst pop-in I've ever seen
- Holy lack of AF Batman
- Pistol = shit, shoulda kept it like H2
^Mostly nitpicks, my only major issue is that I don't own a copy myself
Fucking SWEET game. Can't WAIT to give story mode a shot.

I'm getting a message that says "Unable to start because a player in your party is restricted from playing with user-created content". I'm assuming that's possibly due to me turning all my privacy settings on Xbox.com to their max, but I have no idea, and since I can't get into my account at xbox.com since live is currently f'd up, I can't change anything to test that theory...

It is because of that. You set it so that it won't allow "user-created content." It's a security feature to keep your kids from seeing stuff other people have created.Wolffen said:
