I thought this deserved a mention. Someone has build a script to gather images from Halo 3 galleries, to build photomosiacs. He needs people to submit their gamertag so that the script can pull your images from bungie.net.

First mosiac:

On the site is a link to a 5600x5792, 13.1 MB version. The more gamertags given, the more screens to build them with. I'm filing this under "Absurdly Awesome".

Spotted at HBO.

And lol @ bish's post, trannysurprise and all. :lol

Edit: enter your gamertag at the top of the page. Your screens will show up a few minutes later.
 
Added my gamertag.

Anyone know if there's a Mister Chief T-Shirt I can buy? I've never bought game merchandise, but I'd get that.

If you wanted to epitomize the true Mister spirit, you would use a few permanent markers and a white t-shirt.

That's actually pretty cool. I added my gamertag.
 
Just finished the fight last night in co-op on Heroic, what an amazing experience. The game lived up to everything I wanted it to be; a return to the awesome open encounters of Halo CE but ramped up in both scale and intensity. There's no game out there that can match the feeling Halo gives you when you bite the dust in combat. You're at once amazed, entertained, and anxious to get back into the fight. It's incredible. I can't think of a better compliment than I want to go back and immediately play the majority of the encounters again, and I will. Awesome work Bungie, best $60 I've spent in ages.
 
Ok, got a non Halo playing, Wii loving friend to invest in an Elite and Halo 3. Just describing how Halo 3 works over XBL sold the machine to him. Now i gotta train him up, the kid wants to play on easy when we first game :( He even bought a HDTV for it

Agreed. This game still has years of life left too. Speaking of best $60 you've ever spent, check out The Orange Box. :D

Play on easy but activate all the skulls, at least you'll get a bit of a challenge. ;)

Heh, I just completed Portal too which was a brilliant little change of pace. The end credits were hilarious. Yeah, between the rest of the Orange Box, Bioshock [which I'm only playing with my girl since she's into the story] and a Legendary run I'm set for a long time.

You guys think there's any chance we'll see additional downloadable episodes for single player? I know it doesn't really fit with where they've left the story, I guess I'm just jonesing for more encounters. The idea that it's over is a little hard to take. Or is this where the Peter Jackson games come in... any thoughts?

Bungie - Frank, specifically - has said that DLC for Halo 3 will come in the form of multiplayer stuff. They've mentioned maps, but I suspect other kinds will come as well - Forge updates and new armor permutations come to mind.

And yeah, I think the next Halo SP stuff we see will be in the new games. Halo Wars this spring, PJ Project/Chronicles later on. I'm curious to see how that's shaping up, and if it is still a strange hybrid as Jackson (tried) to describe it last October or if it's a more traditional genre title.
 
Finally got my Legendary achievement and no everything is complete. I was wondering if Bungie will add any extra achievements over time with DLC?

Yeah, that's what I figured. I know I have Legendary, Skulls and scoring and what not to go through, I guess I'm just a little sad it's "over" for now. :[
 
:lol @ these guys getting the medal system all wrong. The bigger your medal vs. your rank in a ranked game, the crappier player it says you are.

Always the first thing I check once I get to a lobby is the number of games played and highest rank of the people with high medals. If I see a big # of social games, little # of ranked games, I know the player is most likely crap.

The only thing cool in Halo 3 multiplayer is someone at level 40 or beyond in Ranked Slayer. You can't cheat that, that's why it's cool
 
There are 3 things that shouldn't exist:

1. Construct on Lone Wolves

2. King of the Hill on Lone Wolves

3. Oddball games with 50 seconds to score

4. Mushrooms, they taste rubbery and bad

5. Bullshit melee attacks



These are my only complaints about Halo 3 multiplayer. Tune in next week to see more halo bashing so my website can gain popularity.

Has Stinkles ever commented on the status of melee in Halo 3?

I don't think so. I've also got friends who play as elites and apparently that one shoulder set for the elites is still broken, and I've seen or heard absolutely no word on that whatsoever from bungie, which is disappointing (unless I totally missed it).

What's the issue with melee? I've seen it pop up in a few threads with no clarification.
If two people melee each other at the same time and the melee strikes would kill both players, whoever has the most health — as opposed to whoever hits the melee button first — comes out alive. At least, this is how I understand it.
 
I finished the campaign this evening... great game. I've got a question though. What is the significance of
the 117 that was scratched into the memorial wall
?

Master Chief = Spartan 117

It's more than at the same time. If I melee first, and my opponent melees back within a short window (not sure how big, but I have seen melees connecting at the same momen the opponent begins his melee animation), and my opponent has more health, I die. Even though I meleed first, and my hit connected and would have killed him.

Oh god, that explains all my mystery deaths after unloading a clip then meleeing. :lol

Likely explains why I've maintained a 32% (575/1788 kills) melee kill rate too.

Sorry, yep, meant to say at around the same time. It definitely changes the melee dynamic — it's weird to run in to melee knowing that if the other dude has painted me for a second more and thinks to melee also, I'm going to die. Closing to melee is a really hard habit to dynamically break, though :).
 
Laguna X said:
Thanks Shoggy :) That's what I thought, but
doesn't the chief make it safely aboard the frigate with the Arbiter and Cortana?

The people on Earth don't know that. The Frigate is adrift in deep space.

Yeap. Melee showdowns are determined by the amount of health both players have within a second that both players melee. So despite the fact that you melee'd first and the other player SHOULD already be dead, if they melee within like half a second, you will die and they will live instead. The rationale is that it gets rid of combat lag issues but it's causing more problems and frustration the way it is now. It definitely needs to be addressed.
