Halo 3

O...M...G.

Lives up to all the hype i heard through the grape vine. You gotta get it to believe it. It's an very (microscopic) close second to Gears of War.

I agree the game is very good. It is one of my fav games for the xbox 360.

 

[Bigbossfan]

I'm quite surprised at all the fuss over a game that is only on one system. Not knocking the game at all. I only game on my PC...I'm not buying a XBox just to play Halo 3. They'd make so much more money if they made versions for all platforms...but I suppose Halo 3 is what Super Mario is to Nintendo??

Can you buy a mouse for the xbox 360 - the xbox joystick is so lame for a first person shooter

Bigbossfan: you can get halo one and two for the pc now. it will be a while but eventually you will be able to get halo 3 for it as well.

terminator2000:there is no mouse for 360. but you can change the sensitivity of your joystick in the game so that you can react almost as fast as if not as fast as a mouselook.

It's a good game. Doesn't dissapoint. But it's no Bioshock.

Halo 3

I’m a long time gamer and have gamed on every consol ever made and have played every FPS game out there.


There was a lot of hype for Halo 3 , was it justly hyped ? That’s for you to figure out.

The one thing about being a gamer is you are the one playing so if everyone says the game is shit but you like it… then who cares.

IMO Halo 3 is very disappointing; I will try and put this as simple as I can.

Halo 1: Revolutionary for gamers, used the original Xbox to its fullest capabilities. For its time Halo 1 was by far the best consol FPS game when it came to, Graphics, single player, multiplayer, sound.

Halo 2: This game came out way too soon, and was Bungie’s cash grab off the huge success of the original. The multiplayer aspect had some major issues in its debut the graphics where “OK” at best.

Halo 3: This was bungie’s chance to finally put a game out that would use the Xbox 360’s full capabilities. The Graphics are not much better, the sound is un-believably poor.
The game lack the punch it once had. On the plus side, the multiplayer and party campaign run smooth and have added some of the fun factor back into the game.
Over all, Halo 3 was all hype, however this is a great thing if you game on-line via Xbox Live. Halo 3 will keep the 10-17 year old screaming kids away from the really good games like GRAW2 and COD4.

Nah. Nothing will ever become as accurate and precise as a mouse. Can't believe the guys at Xbox didn't consider just putting on the market a mouse tool for the xbox.

You know who was smart enough to put a mouse on their console. The nintendo guys. The wii. That Wii Remote.

the fuss is cause because most of the people are new to gaming.

The fuss as you put it, is because Consol game systems have come so far and really sky’s the limit. To bad Bungie didn’t take more time to produce a better game.

God i hope M$ never comes out with a mouse for the 360. If i wanted to use a mouse I would play on my PC.


PC gamers have got to get the ridiculous notion that the PS3 and 360 consols are trying to compete with PC gamers. There not!!! I love to play WOW on the PC and flight simulators. However , I would never think of playing WOW on the 360. I like my 360 for FPS ( 3rd person) games.

Terminator2000: fair enough, i play both pc and console games so i have to say that yes i can agree mouse i excellent, but i have friend who CLAIM they are better witha controller than a mouse, which seems counter intuitive to me but whatever,....ill just just keep kicking thier butts in games and letting them complain.

Bioshock rocks.....fantastic game.

Asked this on the other HALO thread but there was no response....


What is the difference between all the HALO 3 packages (besides the price)?
I'm guessing some sort of extras....
Which one is the best one to buy?

 

[tboy]

..... from the really good games like GRAW2 and COD4.

You like GRAW? I found it incredibly painful to continually have to start at the beginning of each mission stage if you die off. Plus you can't jump into one of the other team members like the other ghost recon games. I also found the voice overs from the various support personal to be irritating.

Maybe it's just because I'm older, but I found it really complicated switching weapons, options, etc too.

BTW: when you play GRAW online, do they still use the aegia physics effects like in the standalone version?

The collector's edition of Halo 3 have scratched disc.
Still playable.
If you want to sent the collector's editon disc back to the company for an exchange.But why would you plunk down $70+taxes and not play it for weeks/month waiting for a new disc.

 

[Manji]

no difference in the game itself but the other two editions have more stuff included. collectors edition has a model helmet, 2 extra dvds and some other stuff, the limited edition has 1 extra dvd, a book and some other stuff.

What's in the extra DVDs?

Halo 3 is exactly Halo 2. All that hype for nothing really.

Gears Of War is way better especially the multiplayer.

If you think Halo 3 is EXACTLY like halo 2, you need your eyes checked or get a better TV. The effects are almost at par with Half Life 2 (PC).

 

[Fleshlight]

yeah halo 3 has the regualr game, the limited edition bundle that comes with a "making of" video, and the legendary edition is the masterchiefs helmet some art work, the game and the limited edition case and game inside the stand.

That is why I like the game. I don’t like it when you can die hundreds of times and start from the same spot you died.

I also found the voice overs from the various support personal to be irritating.

Yes.. agree the voice overs has issues. However I play with the same group of people so that makes it a little easier on the head.

Maybe it's just because I'm older, but I found it really complicated switching weapons, options, etc too.

How is it complicated? … press and hold “x”…

BTW: when you play GRAW online, do they still use the aegia physics effects like in the standalone version?

Not sure what you mean by “standalone” , If you are talking a bout 3rd person…yes. It is a 3rd person or (over the shoulder game).
