HALO 3 Official Thread

Ditto :) headset still hasnt been dispatched yet though but i will be completing the campaign before i bother with online
 
Mine is same as everyone elses :)

Kinda regret paying for Special delivery though since 1st class usually gets here next day when they post them out, had it on order for months though so I couldnt cancel it/change it last minute.
 
Its out tonight over here so may have to go check it out - although my 360 is English so an American copy would not work right ? :-(
 
It would be VERY difficult for Bungie to make good bots since in Halo you are always jumping around and your feet arent fixed to the floor like most other FPS. The maps arent designed for them either with gaps to jump across so they would be next to useless.

If you want practice just do matchmaking no ammount of killing offline bots will give you better practice :) or just play the campaign multiple times, which is what I do to get my aim back after not playing for months.

Counter strike bots used to be able to handle that but they wouldnt randomly jump when they entered combat, i suppose it would be possible to implement as they could do everything else
 
hmm.., is the game worth getting just for single player? Since i dont have live atm since i have a terrible connection (its basicly as slow as 56k or worse atm, something is terribly wrong with it)

a lot of developers struggle to make simple Dynamic AI, no way in hell they could make a complex Dynamic AI for Halo multiplayer (of course its possible, but it would take up too many resources and would be a complete waste of time). Best example is Lockout, so many different jumps and escape routes an AI wouldnt be worth even investing your development time in.

I've never played CS but from what I've seen its just your standard corridor shooter where you're feet hardly ever leave the floor and there are ramps/walkways to just about every place that is accessible.

But again I dont see what the big deal with bots is? Total waste of time IMO since they are predictable, the only thing they will beat a human with is aiming. Playing against other people is way better practice then any bot can give or if its aiming people are needing help with just headshot grunts in the campaign with the Battle Rifle.

The movies a cert to happen. I think it was Peter Jackson that said when the movie companies see the halo 3 hype and how much it sells they'll practically be falling over themselves to get the movie started.

Are you referring to Halo, H2 or H3? I would agree if it was H2 and 3 however I think the original was mainly for splitscreen 4 players max unless there were lan parties going on.

Never played H1 mate. Tried it recently but the controls are complete arse so I didn't bother.
