Right. The three Asian languages are Japanese, Korean and Chinese respectively. You want the last one which is Chinese.SanjuroTsubaki said:
When you go into Slayer press X to enter matchmaking options and select the last option which specifies the search to Chinese-speaking gamers only. As someone correctly pointed out, the search is so specific that nobody but achievement whores will be found.
Most of the players I came across spoke Chinese or Japanese, but that really isn't a problem. Depending on the level they will understand exactly which achievements are attainable so just go grab your Spartan Laser, get into your Mongoose etc. and they will co-operate.
Hope that helps.
not to be cocky or anything but I have found the first few levels on legendary (co op) to be really (relative to halo 1 and moreso 2 ) easy. I think I only died a few times on each of the first 3 but I was being way cautious because of halo 2.GhaleonEB said:Not sure if you mean this one, or the one on the first mission, at the dam.

I'm pretty far from the best Halo player - I'd say I'm average. There's been a couple of battles on Legendary that I had a hard time getting through - that particular fight took me well over an hour to beat, and I spent two and a half on the garage encounter on Tsavo. But aside from the dam fight on Sierra 117 and those two, it's been pretty smooth sailing; the Storm and the mission after haven't been bad at all.subrock said:
that room I literally marched in and out of in about 5 minutes flat, I dont even think I died more than once or twice. maybe it because I am noob comboing it up the whole way through.

Campaign is really good so far, but the story seems kind of scattered and random.
What was the ring that rose up out of nowhere? Was that the destroyed Halo from the first game? Also, where does mission 8 take place? Am I on High Charity (I heard Cortana mention that after I recovered her) or still on the Ark?

Yeah, all that happens is that the terrain changes. The ground becomes "infected." It changes color slightly and becomes covered in blotches. And I think that small particles start falling from the sky.Vyse The Legend said:

from my understanding it is a partially reconstructed replacement, the ark seems to be where the halo rings were created as well as a central firing location and safe haven, im guessing in case a ring was destroyed the sentinels will automatically begin building a replacement

It's a replacement Halo. That's what the Ark does - it builds Halos. It's a Forge. And you're on High Charity, which the Flood have crashed into the Ark.

Co-op. I'm talking solo. It's a pretty different experience, when everyone's attention is focused on you, and there's no backup.subrock said:

Definately. I've played through the game Legendary, co-op, and it wasn't that bad. Even with some skulls on, it wasn't that terrible.GhaleonEB said:
I've attempted to play a few levels solo on Legendary, and I didn't try it for very long: it was more than I wanted to tackle at the time. And I'm a pretty decent player. It's not impossible, solo -- but it's certainly tough.
Does anyone else just, oh I don't know, love the Jackal Snipers on Sierra 117 when playing on the Legendary difficulty? I just love how they kill you with one shot, and they can predict your every move, and they can take almost as much damage as a low-level Brute can. Really fun enemies to fight, especially after the 167,890 death. Really, really fun.
Another thing that's really a blast is when you're around 10,000 points in the Meta game, only to have a lovely Jackal Sniper ruin your entire score. Superb.

the game is way too hard on legendary going at it solo. i simply do not have the patience to die over and over again by snipers when i've cleared the area and am moving along. ugh.
They're still not as bad as in Halo 2, but they're a LOT closer than I was hoping they'd be. The three snipers on far side of the dam at the end of that level gave me fits; I'd empty a full BR into one and he's snipe me as soon as I stopped firing. >.<Thermite said:
Oddly enough, those are the only ones so far that have been a problem, as the others have been where I had ample cover, weapons or proximity.
Ahhh I know that feeling. I planned on going through campaign on Legendary but after the 20th or so death in that Jackal Sniper path on Sierra 117 I just abandoned ship.Thermite said:
It's not a challenge, it's just retarded. Even if the Snipers were controlled by the best players in the world you wouldn't die as often. The AI just cheats and reads your movements. So cheap and annoying.
I've completed 2 missions on Legendary so far (co-op) and each one took well over an hour. It's going to be a real pain getting that damn achievement.

Ok this is slightly weird. Completed level 5 last night and framerate for the whole level was a rock solid 30fps. Not a single drop. Why do the previous levels have problems? Even MP is never ever this smooth. Is that normal? Could there be something wrong with my machine or disk? Level 6 was smooth enough outside but dropped heaps in the last part when you're inside. Which didn't make sense because inside in level 5 was smooth as. Should I try another disk or look at having my 360 looked at?
GhaleonEB said:
OH GOD, I know exactly where you're talking about. I always have a super hard time with that area, but for some reason, I have more trouble in the area right before that part. There's plenty of cover, but I always run out of Battle Rifle/Carbine ammo, and those are the only two weapons that can really take out the Jackals from a safe distance. Plus, there's Jackals all over the place, so I can't really run and attempt to get another weapon. You want to take cover behind a rock in the rear where it looks completely safe? (after you take out the Brute and several

I'm gonna hop on right now doing that language thing. Hopefully it works and we get matched up together... i need the laser, boarding, and overkill achievements.
edit: fucking a, i always get games with 3 other people which makes it nearly impossible to get an overkill achievement... and its on guardian so no vehicles and no laser, ugh. i'll help others get them though.

okay, lets try this again..anyone else going to be on the asian matchmaking around 3am est?
Aurora said:
Absolutely. At times I get so frustrated with it, I feel like I could kill someone! On co-op with three other players I didn't have too much trouble, but my god, when you're by yourself you're pretty much screwed. When I beat the game on Legendary by myself a few days ago, dying didn't really get to me. I'd just try to shrug it off. It did frustrate me a few times, but never really pissed me off. Now, however, that I'm actually not trying to die even once...it's just maddening.
Bailey's Dad said:
Wait, there's a sniper rifle I've been missing all this time!?
Is it up on the cliffs leading up to the Jackal with the carbine or is it on the bottom where the Brute and 100,000 Grunts come storming in?

It is at the section just before the dam. Find the downed Pelican (can't miss it) and there you will find a sniper rifle. Makes the dam part much easier.
I've helped you now comment on my other post about MP framerate. Please.

How wrong I was, as he sent the whole thing and myself flying against the back wall with one swing of his hammer. Needless to say it made quite an impression on me, and had to have it for myself.
I really wish there were more hammers strewn around in the SP campaign. I could bludgeon Covenant for hours and never get bored.

Two maps I really want to see come back for Halo 3...Boarding Action and Midship. The game needs a really small map and Midship's a perfect fit.

:lol
I don't know what could be causing your copy of Halo 3 to do that, to be honest. It could be a cache problem. Every time I've played through Campaign it's been silky smooth for me. Maybe a little sputter here and there.
subrock said:hehe, my co op partner isnt that goodI think I finished that level a little over the 15000 mark for points and he had like 2000 or something. coop does make it a little easier regardless but halo 2 was a bitch even with the help
Turn on the promotion upgrade skull and play it solo.
I played through the first two levels with that, getting about 22.5k points on each and it's at the perfect difficulty. Hard, yes, but quite possible and extremely satisfying.
I have TWO must see games in my profile, so go watch them, they are good =).

Comeback: I start playing like shit, HORRIBLE, and end up winning =P. Pissed everyone off after the game lol.
Tight Fight: Lone Wolves, it was a good match all the way to the end. Who wins? BWAHAHAHA. I made a few DUH mistakes, but the match is good to watch.
So, guys... I have something I call the "Relix Rush". If I don't feel like using UBER skillz then I don't play that well (examples... beginning of Comeback, like 5 minutes not killing a soul, and in Tight Fight I make everyone bow to me in the first few minutes).
So, if you wanna watch some stuff... DL them =)

Hey I have a quick question for everyone...
I just got my 360 back from its repair and I want to get into Halo 3 finally. I have the Limited Tin edition, and I was under the impression that the 2nd disc had all the cinema's from Halo and Halo 2. I put that essentials disc in, and I cant find these movies... Am I screwed and those movies are only in the Legendary edition? Or am I doing something wrong, and they are on one of these discs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Legendary edition only extra.
You can always go here for the cutscenes: http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/cutscenes/halo.html, and http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/cutscenes/halo2.html .
Bungie Favorites section has been updated. There's some pretty awesome film clips in there.
The sticky nade that I'm sure everyone saw already is in there but there's also a sweet overkill clip on Last Resort. Guy takes out the whole red team with a single laser shot. Which reminds me, Bungie needs to put 1 Flag CTF on Last Resort in the Big Team Battle playlist.
