Halo 3

[Razor]

It was released in Australia over an hour ago. You still have to wait. Maybe.

I don't have a 360, but I still want to play.



Discuss!

Never played Halo. So I'm hijaking this thread and asking:

 Why don't we make a Video-Games subforum?

 Just so we don't let threads like this thrown in the middle of All of All. It just doesn't feel right to me.

That's a pretty good idea Grandy.

Btw, (on topic) the halo series is one of the worst shooting game series I've ever played. To be honest... aside from graphics... I've never been able to get into it. The story is like a complete rip off of Perfect Dark, and I hate the "you can only weild two weapons at a time. Cause someone with crazy armor like that wouldn't have all kinds of sheaths for guns and backstraps and ****. Bah, the game sucks... and I've played both Halo and Halo 2... and thought both were terrible. Thus... Halo 3 in all likelihood will also be terrible

I played on Halo2 a huge amount and got pretty good at it back when Ovion was in England. Now he's in New Zealand and I have no intention of getting Xbox live, I'm not that bothered about Halo3.

Metroid Prime 1-3 is all the sci-fi shooter series I need.

I played it once, its fun. Most of the time when people play halo, they don't do it for the story, they do it for the multiplayer (at least thats how it works around here). And its always fun to go around killing your friends

[Djanki]

I see no need to play Halo 3. My friends have it, and I only see value in its Multiplayer. I'm not gonna buy a 360 over a simple, overhyped FPS.

Still, I'm going to a system-link to break in H3 with my friends when they get it. Yay for redesigned Arbiters (I only use Arbiters) ^_^

I'm a big fan of the series, and the third installment comes out at midnight (about eight hours from now), but I won't be getting it until sometime in the afternoon tomorrow.

[aboutasoandthis]

I'm planning on getting it. I love shooters.

I'm not a fan of the graphics though. I hate the art style.

You make it sound like it won't be sold out 5 minutes past release tiem. I'm guessing you're working some kind of magic.

Halo multiplayer + swearing at your friends = best fun

[ZeroKirbyX]

I'm not going to try and be different like Shady and deny that Halo was at least decent. It was a fun game, and really, it revolutionized shooters in the same way that DOOM did (Or rather, that game that was Halo, ut older made by Bungie). It's fun, but I don't care about it to the point of anticipation. If Im at my friend, and he says lets play Halo, I'm not against running his *** down with a warthog XD

GHAYLO?

I kid, I kid.

I think the line from walmart reaches ll the way to my house.

I saw the ending already, who wants to know it!?

Reserved copy, my friend. Legendary set reservation.

Last year when all of my fellow classmates and I installed Halo on our school laptops is when I played it the most. Being the second best person there, I quickly saw that this game was nothing special. Sure it was fun, but it wasn't anything new or exciting, it's just great by it's name sake, because it's so hyped, that people think it's actually cool to play it, thus making them have more "Fun", but in reality you have more fun playing counterstrike and half-life.

[Archem]

Don't douche things up, please. It's nothing new as far as a PC shooter, but it's a big thing as far as the console shooter market goes because it revolutionized how an FPS should play on a console, both in control setup and mimicking the accuracy of a mouse. On a PC, it's just a fun game and nothing more, and can be as forgettable as, say, Soldier of Fortune, but on a console, it's the game that made consoles finally able to compete with PC games on a shooter level.

Of course, this is about the game as a fun thing, not as an innovator. So even then, it's fun. Your hype theory isn't true, as a lack of fun would never have made this game as popular as it is, and no-one would have played the original Halo if it wasn't fun, as it wasn't "cool" yet. And it's a known fact that Halo 2 was a general failure, but the multiplayer is fun and well designed. Not to mention that it isn't quite fair to, as you have done, compare a console game to a PC game, since there are so many things that can be altered to make a PC game more fun for different audiences (even if Halo came out on PC, too. It's a bit of a failure as a PC game, but it's still fun enough to draw its own crowd).




Oh hell, I've gone off on a pointless rant...
