HALO 3 Official Thread

Sorry for passing the game invite Krono, I had just started a BTB match and only had time for one more after that. I'll be sure to honor the call next time :) (Conaghan)
 
Class game tonight cant believe I just finnished behind Alrik on kills, just goes to show how good it is with friends compared to random yanks.
 
Well I completed the campaign by myself on Legendary earlier. It did last quite a bit longer and it was a lot more challenging overall but still it's fairly dissapointing.

The boss near the end and the final bit of the last level are the easiest parts of the entire game, what the hell is up with that? There's parts within the first 10 minutes of the game that were more challenging. Who the hell designed this game?! It's ridiculous.
 
As I've said before numerous times, IMO 343 Guilty Spark isnt meant to be a boss, you killed him to tie up loose ends to the story.

In Halo 2 the boss fights were quite unimpressive and as a result were excluded from Halo 3 (and I dont include scarabs as bosses either)
 
Enjoyed halo 3 but some of the cut scenes were gawd awful graphically. Far too many of those with a 2d matte painting background with something 3d farting around on it, was literally sitting there with my jaw dropped at how bad they looked.

Also the "ark" (highly original name) reveal didn't look much like what they showed in the 2006 trailer, even though in the making of that trailer video they stated that thats what the game would look like. :o

I am getting tired of people using the plasma sword especially when they seem to move like 20feet when they try to hit you,or when they just hide around a corner and wait for people coming around then killing them with the sword.

I have no issues with them in halo3 tbh, they're much more balanced now you can't just switch to the sword and lunge straight away.

The 2006 trailer was rendered in the game engine, but it wasnt part of the game if that makes sense? I cant really think of anyway to word it better.

I miss that tbh, I've even had thoughts of going back to Halo 2 if they dont sort out these problems that I have with the game so far.

I miss that feature so much, not just for the sword but all weapon switches. I hope the increase the weapon switch speed in the patching.

TBH I have little concern for Sword campers I could deal with them in H2 I can deal with them in H3

LOL I thought you were going to disagree with me there :D

You complained enough about them in H2 though.

LOL :D Although there has been enough bitching about how bad the game is on this page but I hate the sword on Halo 3 :p It LOOKS crap, it SOUNDS crap, and its lunges are also crap. IMO the halo 2 sword actually had better graphics

Thats probably because it was usually me popping up from nowhere when he had an SMG :D

I'm giving it one more chance tonight to see if a different play style will solve most of my gripes with the random beatdowns and sniper rifle.

It just does my head in when I quite clearly snipe someone in the face and because it 'missed' on the host I dont get the kill? I mean what else can I do besides shoot him in the head? I never had a problem in Halo 2 with it unless I was lagging really badly. And to prove its no lag thats causing the sniper rifle problem I have a save film on my Xbox where he shoots him 4x in a row within a period of 5 seconds and the guy on the receiving end is totally unharmed (even though you quite clearly see the blood).

I can accept the fact that the host is always going to have the edge, what I cant accept is that it wasnt a problem in Halo 2, but it is in Halo 3? I would rather put up with BxR and Noob combo, then beatdowns that are flawed and sniper rifles that dont hit half the time.

I also dont like Bungie's attitude to these complaints either, which is basically "tough ****, it didnt hit on the hosts xbox so you dont get the kill"

I agree but Im sure they will get it fixed - the latency is far worse in this game than Halo 2. I seem to remember even the beta had no latency, I got from the grave kills all the time! Now I barely get them. I hate the halo 3 sniper because of the latency - same with beatdowns but I reckon it will get fixed along with some other stuff :) Im still managing! :D
 
does anyone know if its possible to download the video clips that you upload to bungie to your pc?


Oh and here is some screens from earlyer today had some fun trying to stick people lol.
