[Darkness]

Ive heard some people say that they played Halo 3 beta.....i think thats just an incomplete demo sketch of the game....im getting an xbox360 for my bday on sunday and will prob buy that game in september.....but is it good????

[Forte.Exe]

Well the day is coming..on monday 24th at midnight stores will be open to release it...anybody but me gonna get it? and if so whats your gamer tag? i played it and it is fun, im looking forward to the campaign tho

[Darkness]

ye...well ill prob buy it anyway cos i played the other 2 and wanna find out what happens cos the endin to 2 was suspense!!!

[STEELIX]

i played it
it was like halo 2 with very slight graphical improvements
the full game will probs be better neway

[Tyyren]

Yes Halo3 Beta verrsion is very nice.

Its graphics are amazing, and the new and old weapons look awsome! :eek:

[Cid Highwind]

My friend is crazy about it, I really don't see the big deal about it, played Halo 1 and 2, what a hype, really not my thing.

[Nitrous]

Got mine pre-ordered and it'll come in the post on day of release.

Exactly man.

All my friends are going on and on about it, constantly asking me if I'm gonna get it

When I say "No, not until it's cheaper anyway" they look at me stunned

ffs, the game is really no big deal; it does NOTHING new. Everything in it has been done before in an FPS.

The storyline isn't even that good. Half-Life and Deus Ex's storylines kick the **** outta Halo's

The whole Halo series is just COMPLETELY overhyped. Goddamned annoying...

Bioshock ftw (even though I still don't have it :P)

[Cid Highwind]

**** YEAH!

Finally, someone with common sense, I completely agree on that.

I mean, I heard in england's madame tussaud's they are gonna get Master Chief as the very first game character statue in there, I mean FFS!!! Halo isn't a revolution, it does everything other FPS games do.

As much as I don't give a crap about Mario, if there should be one gaming character made into a statue, it should be Mario, no matter what, and not Master Chief, what is this? The game isn't revolutionary, Master Chief doesn't have like a deep storyline about him like Cloud from Final Fantasy or other characters.

Microsoft is behind this, they just spend ****ing amounts of cash to promote Halo to hell, and people are being sucked in automatically

[Forte.Exe]

Master chief is not like cloud because he is suppose to be mysterious..

and theres no FPS like the other..

and theres alot of differences between 2 and 3

heres some:
Graphics
Weapons
Vehicles
Characters
Customizable Levels
Self edited maps
New Online Player modes
Campaign Co-op
Customizable Characters

right theres NOTHING new..

[Nezith]

From what i've seen the GFX haven't been massively improved (due to the engine in number 2 being so good) But from first observations the lighting and and animation seems alot better. To be honest i'd be happy with minor tweaks....if it aint broke then dont fix it!

Also, if you dont like the series then you dont....Its all personal opinion, each to there own and such.

[Cid Highwind]

Master chief is not like cloud because he is suppose to be mysterious..
That is not the point, the point is that he doesn't deserve that spot because Cloud is a way better developed character then Master Chief is, and a lot of other characters are, especially when RPG characters, so he loses in that point as well.

And just for the record of me being a prick and quite an FF fan, Cloud is a mysterious character, just go through the story and you'll find out.

and theres no FPS like the other..
That is not what I mean, Halo uses engines that have been done before, that have been created for different games already, so again, Halo loses in that point as well, Halo is not a revolution.

oh PS, I'm still talking about that Madame Tussaud thing, i'm not talking about the actual game, probably gonna be good and enjoyable, but nothing too amazing in my taste.

[Nezith]

Right...i'm just going to butt in, Personally I'm in the opinion that cloud is a very under developed characters, All of master chiefs life and blank spots have been filled in by the books...so in my mind i feel like i know where the master chief is coming from and why he's the way he is. And i agree with you, halo is far from being a gaming revolution...and it has its fault, but its the real first person shooter that has had such world wide success and also is on its way to topping the most pre-orders of all time list, so you've gotta give it that. As you can probably tell i'm not a huge FF fan but i have an open mind, I've played all FF games, on snes to the PS2 games and none has kept me entertained, but again thats personal preference. I'm a typical westerner, i'd rather have a gun in my hand and a grenade on my belt than a magical book and a rather large sword. Gaming is different for everyone, a game you say is crap could be another mans gold. Every game has its faults, but most people will ignore thos because they love the franchise.

Again...its all personal preference.

mhmm, but then again, the fact that it's Microsoft has a huge deal to do with it

[Nezith]

Course it does, Someone has a good idea and they have the money to throw at it till all is well, Dont get me wrong i think the square soft guys are gods...but thats me talking from a artistic perspective, not from a fan of there games view.
Fair play to them tho, they've cornered the market and all RPG's in that turn based format has gotta live upto there high standards.

[Cid Highwind]

learn from the masters

[Nova]

Only on the weekend of October 6th thru 8th will I get it for my birthday with Xbox 360. Looks amazing. I still watch the E3 trailer. Also one of its endings has been leaked. I dont think I should post it here as I dont want c/d to have trouble with Microsoft and IDK if vid is up anymore. But Ill PM it to anyone who asks.

[Forte.Exe]

yea i saw it on youtube since there are copies of it in the UK when a game store made an "error".

anyways FF and Halo are both a good series..and you cant compare to completely different series

[Cid Highwind]

Not sure if you mean someone else, but if you mean me, again I was referring to that statue thing.

Anyway, Halo 3, you get what you buy probably, i'm more interested in Halo Wars, I mean, Ensemble Studios.... wow!

[Forte.Exe]

halo wars is gonna be good..im getting it for sure..saw some gameplay footage and its good

[Nova]

I will pick tat one up cuz its an RTS. I loved Warcraft III nad this one looks good. Also I cant wait for next Halo trilogy

[The Genie]

I ordered Halo 3 last week plus a wireless headset :D

[Nitrous]

Mine came throught the post this morning, a day early :D

Not played it yet as I have a job application to fill out but as soon as thats done I'm game for the rest of the day!

[The Genie]

I have to wait until the 26th :(

[Nitrous]

Had a chance to play some of the single player campagine earlier and so far so good. I can't be bothred to post a full review or anything so I'll break it down:

Graphics: Graphics are amazing but its still the same old physics engine so dont expect to be blown away by the visual presentation.

Story: Eh what? It has a story all be it one I still don't understand...

Gameplay: If it aint broke why fix it? The formula work well and its an improvment on Halo2 thanks to the AI having been beefed up a notch to actuallly be helpful.

[The Driver]

Im getting my copy tommorow from Amazon :)

Hope its worth it :P

[PøinŦ Çataclsym]

greatest. game. ever.

i swear, i was like "this is halo?" in the middle of playing it. it just seems so unhaloish graphics and vehicle wise that i was shocked.

the ending was awesome, wont let any spoilers out(but watch the clip after the credits too!)

i swear, the hype wasnt pointless.

[The Driver]

Fantastic game.

As soon as i got it, i played it and did the story. I completed it in 4 and a half hours (On easy mind you, im not a serious player).

Graphics are great, seems the person that has had the biggest graphical update is Cortana. Aswell as the Brutes. Oh, and the Flood.

Speaking of Brutes, they seem to take a while to kill, especially the ones with the Gravity Hammer.

The Flood seem more advanced. Taking over Hunters. And Mutating.

All in all, everyone needs this game!

[PøinŦ Çataclsym]

^ those we're actually pureforms. thier like the advanced flood.

i hate them damn sniper pureforms...espicialy when theyre outta range and theres more than one of em.

[ronaldo 199]

OMFG Halo 3 is the best game i have ever played!
awesome graphics combined with guns and a fun story line make halo 3 the game of the decade - as it says on the front cover...

[Forte.Exe]

just got the final skull and the awesome armor

[PøinŦ Çataclsym]

eh, i dont like hayabusa that much. what i want is the last part of the scout armor. i only need the shoulder parts, but i whenever i play FFA i never get a map with a mongoose.

[mcdogit]
