Who ever thought up the Flood turret things needs to get fired. They too accurate and take too much damage. It's completely ruining the
final level(?)

Yeah, without the Flood turret thing the level would have been a lot easier (maybe too easy?). When they go into spider form they take like 100 shots to die!
 
Got a question for people who completed this baby,

I played the game first try on Heroic, completed it, saw a little end video of a monument and the arbiter flying away. On gamevideos and on the notthe1upshow there was video of the chief doing his 'wake me up before you go go'-thing. I never saw that, whats the deal? on gamevideos the title says 'normal' ending.... Am I being punished for trying heroic? :P

You're being punished for not watching the credits.

Seriously. Why do people skip the credits!

BAWWWWW

I think I've met my match. Tsavo Highway on legendary is tough as hell, and the checkpoints do not help at all. Almost every encounter feels like a life or death battle. Oh well... might try again later.

The battle when the Phantom(s) shows up and drops off Brutes is just brutal. I need more grenades.
 
I dunno guys, that last match rocket races with the lag and the spinning made me really nauseous. I don't feel so good...

Didnt even know there were credits :P

Just saw the bungie text thing, and I couldnt do a thing, so started to button smash, most likely that triggered the skip...

I believe it says "Shiek of the Sea," ("Shiek" is the handle of Shi Kai Wang of Bungie).

Will wait when Im going legendary :) I am ready to finish the fight... again :)
 
Holy crap, a couple of hours ago I had my first game of Rocket Race, and it was with the gaffers no less (tombur as my driving buddy). I had tears laughing from the hilarious insanety. Whoever at Bungie made that game is a genious. It's a shame that this isn't in social matchmaking.
Also played some zombies for the first time and that's a lot of fun too.
Custom games with gaffers is...exhausting and intense.
 
I have one more (probably stupid) story question, alright,
when the ring on the ark goes off, it destroys the ark and everything else in a pretty wide radius right? How do we know there weren't nearby planets that had Forerunner on them?
And the half of the ship Chief and Cortana were in didn't make it through the portal right? So how did they survive the ring going off? Are they in the same galaxy as the Ark or did it displace them in some random ass place?

The halo that went off was not finished so the explosion was not as big as the completed ones.
 
I don't want to venture into the Online forum, but can I have a GT or two of the most active H3ing gaffers?

I'd like to try a match of Rocket Race or something.

It's always alot of fun, but I hate it when ppl leave because they don't like a certain mode which we are probably going to play for 1 game only..

After not being able to find the Thunderstorm skull, I cannot get the Grunt Birthday party skull either... Are some of these singleplayer or coop skulls only?

Are you starting the levels from the very beginning? Normal or higher difficulty?

I've completed the game on Heroic Coop, and some of the levels have been done on legendary Coop... I was trying to replay them on legendary to get the skulls solo, I guess I'll just have to do the whole thing over again.
 
Here's a replay of me and tombur from the last Rocket Race match (top slot of my fileshare) getting into one of the worst situations possible:

http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=WWGray4

We were team purple and we actually won by quite a good bit, but, man, if that thing didn't annoy the crap out of me. :lol

Huh, when it goes inside I see a really crisp clean looking game with some nice textures.
But when it heads outside I see AA issues, pretty bland textures, oh and the framerate problems here and there.

so, whats everyones favorite/least favorite maps?

favorite - Guardian. im still not sure if this is my favorite since I've only gotten it 3 times, but I seem to enjoy it the most out of the maps when I do get it..gravity hammer ftw.

least favorite - Contruct. this is an abomination to the Halo series, I never went to play this piece of shit. one team spawns up top with BR's, Sword, Snipe...one team spawns down low with the missle pod and flame thrower?

on a side note I still havent gotten Epitah, does it EVER come up? I play TS mostly.

No no. Doesn't matter if you've already completed the campaign. If you're trying to find skulls, you have to start the individual level it's located on from the very beginning of the level--not at a rally point, etc.

Me and Captain N played team doubles on Epitaph earlier. Epic game. Down 20-10 and came back to tie 24-24. Guy's camped and crouched all day (is that how most "skilled" players play team doubles?)

I really liked the map, though. Very elaborate yet simple design. It really forces you to think about your play style.

I completely agree about Construct and would like it to be stricken from any and all matchmaking please. I actually get Epitaph quite a bit and I also really enjoy The Pit.

One thing that bugs me is that whenever a gametype other than slayer comes up in Lone Wolves, people tend to veto it. I actually want to play Crazy King or One Ball.

Actually, both teams spawn at the bottom of the map, and there are BRs at the bottom of the map, in addition to the top of the map, and there's a spawn zone up top in the sword room where teams frequently respawn, which generally disrupts the "control the top" strategy you're talking about right here. Additionally, there's a Brute Shot and a Spartan laser on the lower parts of the map, in addition to the aforementioned BRs, Missile Pod, Flamethrower and Fusion Coils.
 
i loathe construct

but me and the crew play so damn well on it... we just had a match yesterday where we went 50-6 O.o

hmm

I think the game looks wonderful in both aspects. The solidity and beauty in this game is very consistent, and very pleasant.
 
I really haven't played on a map that I've disliked so far. I love the maps in this game...one question though, why the HELL does shotty snipers come up so damn often in matchmaking. Today I played THREE straight matches of shotty snipers, two on high ground. The fourth match was slayer on snowbound, people vetoed, and the resulting gametype was shotty snipers on high ground AGAIN.

I actually used to be pretty fond of the gametype, when it was more rare....but now that it comes up sooooo often I'm just getting really sick of it, am i the only one experiencing this?
 
Geez, Bungie.net is getting hammered. OK, Bungie members: did one of your animators do a set on animations of a Brute taking a whiz without the golden stream? Now, don't laugh. I saw this yesterday when I was playing on the 6th level, towards the end. This morning, I went through the saved film of the game (which took forever; it's 1h 16m, and the occurrence is around 58~59 minutes in) to see if my eyes were playing tricks, and no, they weren't. Let's say it's not supposed to be a Brute relieving himself. If that's the case, that means there's some REALLY interesting Brute animation where a Brute scratches/adjusts his Brutezone (tm) area, stretches back, scratches/adjusts aforementioned area again, and makes some interesting grunting noises all the while.

If you want video proof, the video is on my share. Detatch the camera around the 58 minute mark. You should see me walk into a building after
blowing up the Scarab on The Ark and heading to the top of the spire
.

When you see a room with sleeping Grunts, you're in the right area. There should be the Brute above in the corner of the room. Watch and laugh.

I warn you, there are tons of stupid deaths on my part (I died more replaying this mission on Normal than I ever did on Heroic), and there seems to be another matter Bungie should address with saved campaign films: Terminals can lock up your box when you hit those in a saved film, or you can seem to get stuck in one for a long time. When you hit a terminal, no matter where your camera is, you go into the terminal and watch\read the terminal story. Which is ok, except it's not really replaying what you did at the terminal. So I warn whoever is brave enough to go through the 58~59 minutes of this film to see this portion that you may run into some issues when I'm reading the terminals...

One other question for Bungie: during the beta, you rolled out an update to the beta that made all of our saved films invalid due to a version conflict. Is it possible the same thing could happen if you ever rolled out an update that would, say, allow us to rewind or record clips in campaign saved films? Just curious.
