AI in Halo 3 is really good. Yesterday while I was playing, more than once brutes used bubble shield successfully to block my grenade. I was surprised.

Weird, because I have a 46" 720p Samsung DLP and haven't notice much in the way of jaggies. Not saying they aren't there, just saying they aren't noticeable on my large 720p TV.

I think LCD's that are scaling the image down from 768 over component (HDMI? can you run 768 native res. on HDMI?), which is introducing teh jaggiez.

Terminals are things you can find throughout the game that give you some backstory. I've only found two so far, when getting on the elevator to the top of the tower (to turn off the power shields) keep going and jump to the far platform you will find one in each tower.

OooO more easter eggs, thanks:D

Played the first two levels on heroic. Took me 2 hours and then some. Liking it so far.
First level started out slow, but then they keep on introducing bigger and more difficult open areas as you go through it which are a lot of fun. The second level looks a bit plain, although there were some very cool battles in that. Especially liked the
area they first showed in the brute vi-doc, that's full of brutes and a brute chief with a hammer. Added with the gravilty lift and some deloyable cover it's very cool to fight. Died a lot

I
had an EPIC fight with the final Brute in that sequence. Low on ammo, only one of those big crates between us. I kept darting behind one side of it and he kept following me, I'd get a shot in and duck back again. It was so fucking amazing.

I saved the film of it, I just have to go in an edit that part out and I'll post the link here. Seriously. Epic.

Without having to put them in your file share?

I can't confirm that.

I put my screens in file share, and they would only appear there, not under screenhots.

Not all of the screens I ever took, whether I put them on the file share or not, are there.

Check out mah tute, you have to go into File Share and transfer them to your gallery. From there you can check one off as your Sweet Ass Lady Killing Glory Shot.

I still miss the elites.
Sometimes the gun sounds are a bit muted, not as sharp sounding as the beta. Weird.

Yeah I'm right at the beg on level 3(literally), and I thought level 2 sucked.
 
Me and my mate have been playing all day, just got to the level
Cortana
.

So far it has been totally epic :D The music, the levels, fighting the Scarabs. All incredible.

1 issue though. Started off perfect, but on this level, and the second half of the one before, its like my frame rate has taken a hit. Stuttering about and really not fun to play. Sounds is fine, and we had a quick play in Forge and had no stuttering issues.

Any ideas?
 
I'm liking the gameplay alot more then I did halo2. Feels much less cheesy. Each encounter feels complex, and fresh. Hard to put in words, but even though I'm dying a ton. The game is still enjoyable. Thumbs up so far.

is there any way you guys coud maybe make your screenshots a little bigger....

:lol

It is actually a bit of an ass-pain to resize them as Bunge only lets you DL them SuperSized. All the mini versions you see in the site are embedded. It's why I haven't posted mine yet.

Yeah it's awesome. Best ever in any FPS.
 
Wow, I just found bungie.net DOES track the time you've played.

The campaign stat tracking is so cool! Can't wait to fiddle what campaign scoring.
-Sierra 117 on heroic: 23 deaths (play length 50minutes)
-Second level on heroic: 10 deaths (play length 1h06m)
 
Some shots from my second match making game:

Photobucket resizes them automatically.

I just realized you can right-click and save the screenshots when you look at them in the Screenshot Viewer, they're much smaller.

...that said, I should probably resize mine now :D

Where is this listed? I messed around with it a little bit, but couldn't find any of that. Also, how do you enable campaign scoring?

All Normal (I KNOW)
L1: 57:25 18 Deaths
L2: 1:03:11 18 Deaths (spooky!)
L3: 37:04 16 Deaths (gettin' better!)
 
Got it, played through levels 1-3 with a friend on Heroic. I'm liking it thus far, but since I haven't played Halo 1 and 2 at all I feel like I'm missing a lot storywise.

Solid action game without a doubt, however.
 
my friend got it and he is new to halo and was un-impressed with the single player as me. Heroic is alot harder than normal i notice, even with 2 player co-op we were dying lots.

If you guys want to play something that's even more difficult than legendary, turn on the Mythic and Tough Luck skulls. Holy moly.

How do skulls work, why would I pickup skulls if they are just going to make things more difficult. What am I missing?
