Halo 3

Well, I have to say I love Halo 3, the campaign is actually fun and the multiplayer is amazing far above Halo 2's... and I loved that game as well. The only downfall is I just got it and my 360 died today so, I shed a tear for it and it's being sent back to microsoft in a few days

... now it's time for the waiting game heh... *cries*

Multi player campaign rocks!

4 player co-op is just what I have been waiting for in a campaign for a long time!

Heh well Its def a good buy then ..gamers and game companies agree..(a few sites give it a 10-9.5) ..

Better than halo 2 multiplayer eh?

...well seeing i rlly loved that ...thats it..nx summer im gonna go get a summer job..>_>.....or maybe a partime job.....or soemthign that involves me gettin money /a 360....>_>..

Sucks urs needs to be resent....(im def still gonna wait a while so they can get the bugs out the 360 b4 i buy....me being down here and all itd take ALOT longer to send there..get fixed and back IF they even do that for international sales...o.0..)

Ps ...Anyone know if the 4 player coops need to be over the live ..or can it be with just 4 ppl and one 360?....

Pps Agree fully wiht wanting 4 player coop..

...sweeeeeeet....I mena now its actually enough ppl to setup a flank on the AI...

..hehehe...

I read a lot of Xbox's were having problems. Just wondering if that was true. I'm glad that the game is fun, though. I've only played the first one because it came with my sound card at the time.

By the reports I have read and the fact that you can buy any number of 360's on e-bay that are broken I would have to say its probably true.

I have not had any problem with mine except that it has frozen a couple of times and the thing is loud.

It's a sad truth yes... I love the console, but it isn't reliable. Microsoft had to extend their 1 yr warranties to 3 yrs because there are so many issues. My first 360 failed to read disks after day 2, but luckily I was able to return it to get another new one.... this one just died after about 3 months.

Dang....guess its good thing I dont have money then..

...cant waste it

I like consoles more..but it gets time to readjust to analogue sticks(but that take s a few mins)

Heh to slate my halo 3 wishes..Played some halo 2 on Sunday....made em think to myself.." Wow ..the graphics are a lil bit improved compared to hallo 1"
Also how much fun it is to filled flood with shotgun rounds

.....And how brutes/spec op elites are darn scary..

(and hit hard too..)

Also if 3 has the tank alot..

Ill be so dead happy...best ride eever.

Well Finally got around to finishing halo 2..today ..gotta say twas sweet..

..

MY Opinion:

Halo Id rate 9/10...halo 2 Id rate 8 or 7½/10...why?

Well the Game play is still very nice but I will admit halo 2's last lvl wasnt as thrilling..fulfilling as halo 1's..nor even more so than the lvls b4..( the 3 lvls b4 the last were very nice!..) Thought it may make up for it in interactivity of environment & teamates...vehicles ..hijacking duel wielding etc ...The actual play of the last lvl impacted on it alot i find.....if it was lil longer and harder Id say it would be just about right ..Then again I havnt played it on legendary yet..just normal...

So yeah..

Highlights of halo 2 (visual, audio and game wise):
°Duel wielding weps and the energy sword..that sword completely pwns..o_o..

°Letting the improved AI drive the warthog as you man the turret

°Hijacking and using the wraith...ESPECIALLY on ghosts....

°First fights as the Arbiter...and you turn on ur cloak and ur team follows..along with just covenant vs. covenant battles

°Banshee dog-fights

°Helljumpers...nuff said..

°Melee a grunt/jackel with a Fuel rod

°Sticking a brute on his grenade belt...best explosions ever

(well that and the scorp..

..)

°Spectre....nuff said

°As with halo 1..flood at its largest numbers

°As with halo 1 Flood covenant battles ESPECIALLY when its covenant vs covenant vs flood o_O...ALONG with flood driving vehicles...flood+scorpian= annoying though..:/..

°Watching a 'dead' flood come back to life as a lil flood brings him back...only to die from a shot gun.....2x...

..

°the last 3 lvls leading up to the last lvl..ESPECIALLY like it when the voices on high charity switch between gravemind and the prophet ...and the music great atmosphere

° As arbiter...Hunter teammates......How could you say no?.(caution..dont run in front their fuel rods like me..-_-*...2x)

BEST moments:

° Bullfighting a hunter...ie Melee a hunter to kill....nice stuff...

°Sticking a rampaging charging brute.....I mean come on.....those explosions....

°Banshee hijacking ...hear its even more sweet if you go form one in midair to another in midair..(cant do that though..

...)

°You using your buddy Mr.Shotgun to kill flood in midjump at times when the flood are their most....

°Jumping on the prophets chair and melee him to finish the lvl....

°Taking out the fellowing Banshee with the fuel rods...

°duel needlers + brute = pink explosion of doom..

...

And Yeah ill stop there b4 I bore ppl to much..

Some old halo 3 news but sitll fun stuff...

And some shoots which are pretty darn sweet.. old news for actually owners but still..for non-owners nice..

...

for those, like me, who do not have the Xbox 360, here a view of some action.........very good graphics

Couldnt you just get a Vista Emulator?...(wait ..are emulators legal?..) and run it via that..?...

There be no such thing, my friend, as a Vista emulator. Emulators are legal.

What has Microsoft upset is they wanted to sell as many Vista OSes and are using Halo 2 as one of the selling points to get Vista, thus the XP compiler...........
