Halo 3: Official

I would like to see another big open field and forest level in H3. Something like that of level 2 in Halo but more grand.

I like how people take comments I made about one aspect of a game and apply them to everything about it. No, I didn't say everything in Halo was lazy, overdone crap, I said the level designs are decidedly spare and simplistic, and I don't like that approach. If you like it, fine. I personally peferred Prey's MP maps just because they were creative and different. Prey's MP was barebones and devoid of compelling features, and Halo's multiplayer options are fantastic. I'm not blind to that much.

I also think what I was saying about the graphics are pretty reasonable.

Yeah, pretty much. It's supposed to be a system-seller, and it just doesn't look like a top-teir engine. It doesn't look bad, but people just expect a lot from a game with this kind of placement

I don't really believe Frog is back pedaling, but I always wanted to use that image.

LOL. Nah Frog's not backpedaling. He's been saying that all along, but I will be buying a 360 cause of Halo 3. So in that sense it has worked.

God damn that's a terrible reason, given all the other better ones.

I've barely played any Halo 1, and even less of the large maps, so I'm unfamiliar with sniping in that. According to the people I play with, sniping has taken a return to H1 style. The shots (on the human rifle, anyway) are much slower, so you can't pop off two body shots really quickly like in H2. Sort of forces you to headshot... which I suck at.

The covenant sniper rifle is almost the same as far as I can tell, though.

Nice thats more than two things returning to the far superior Halo 1 mechanics.

One more and I might actually have to consider buying this.

Sigh I should have made an effort to beta this shit.

Rent Crackdown for three weeks imo.

I have a feeling there's going to be some crazy set pieces in the single player to go through. Crazy outdoor/indoor wars with bat shit particle and lighting effects.

that's assuming Bungie remembered they had a 1 player game to work on. at this point (with everything being shown so far solely for mp) i'm going to assume they're releasing it like Quake 3/UT with a possible 1 player game as a download later on.


and for those that don't get it, yes i'm joking a bit.
