HALO 3 Official Thread

reading some of the earlier posts on this thread ....

640p upscaled to 720p - Microsoft are having a laugh - wouldn't have been so bad 640p with say 4xAA.

looks so jaggied on my 1900x1200 monitor - really detracts - even though multiplayer is fun

I tested Halo3 and.... not 720p it's exactly the same resolution that perfect dark, ~1138x640 with no AA, no aniso (and 30fps) :eek:
Why? HDR FP16 and no tiling

have a slight problem on mine, everytime i go to matchmaking it says unable to find the halo 3 servers?

I've yet been able to join to a multiplayer game, any idea what im doing wrong? :P
 
mmm played again for a few hours last night - still sitting on the fence ... from reading around today to answer some questions I had ...

(1) so game is running at 640p ?? (allegedly - to be confirmed ?) - with no AA ?

(2) you can't search for custom games

(3) basically with multiplayer you just have to play pot luck .. so if you want to play say king of the hill - or a rocket game etc - you could potentially have to play for 5 games before one came up ? Surely this is a step back from a multiplayer point of view ??

The MP is the only bit that interested me. After chatting to some guys from work with the game, they suggested my problem was probably a lot down to the fact about 10 of the 16 players were Halo vets.

Then most people are, i'm just late to the party. I was a bit hasty and I just tried to drive to get another copy, forgetting about the friday traffic doh!

Playing it with Krono and co, they know the game well, I found the comms hard to talk. I dont think I shouldve played a 16 player game. Starting smaller in games where I can be talked through what i'm doing at bit better. :)

Probably wasn't in the best frame of mind to play it.

Im new to Halo so we can get whooped together, and I think the campaign would be decent in co-op mode, certianly up for playing it through with you if you buy it back. Just finished the first chapter last night so not far through at all.

Yep, halo has always been really restrictive in terms of freedom online.
 
thanks Kreeee - I hadn't played the others so didn't know what to expect.

some games I found superb last night - some really lame (not the players but the level/type of game) - just very frustrating you can't choose ..
 
you can choose, its called custom games. Just get lots of people from here on your friends list and you should never be short of people to play with.

If you choose ranked games you tend to get more straight up matches whilst social has more silly game types.
