The Sloth Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 My Brother's pre order arrived yesterday! So I was round playing the multiplayer last night. I havn't really followed Halo since the first one but it's awesome fun. There's a heap of new things you can do. There's a level editor multiplayer mode where you can place vehicles, guns and items anywhere on the map!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 played the campaign mode for a bit this morning. it's pretty good, just what i expected it to be like really. new weapons seem cool though the graphics could be a little bit more next gen though they are noticably better and crisper than halo 2. not played the multiplayer yet, will maybe give that a blast tonight.

Captain America Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Pretty gid so far. I finished the first chapter and it was cool.Multi is quite enjoyable. Although i had to mute a few dicks on my team... o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b-bert Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just fifnishid campaign on heroic last. It was really good but multiplayer is far more fun, though the random map selector seems a bit rubbish and picks the same few repeadely.

scottyboy Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 i never got why people liked halo tbh i remember playing the multiplayer beta and you couldn't even aim down the sights of the gun, hope they did something about that o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaOfEnergy Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 another positive halo 3 commentyeah i got this the other day, and having played it for a few hours i would say its a damn good game, the graphics could be better, but im only playin it on a standard widescreen not HD so they probably are better than what im seein n e way. Not hugely different from Halo 2 but different enough to be worthwhile, the new items/weapons are cool and the only thing that seems a bit shit about it is the AI pathfinding in the vehicles, the marines drive like their on acid or sumthin......Very cool game though. Havent played it multiplayer yet, seems like the multi will b near enough exactly the same as Halo 2 with better graphics. The campaign plays extremely well in coop as well as singleplayer, lots of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeromiserY Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 i never got why people liked halo tbh i remember playing the multiplayer beta and you couldn't even aim down the sights of the gun, hope they did something about that o_Oits not call of duty. thats what the crosshair is for. best game ever. the forge map editor is awesome and the idea of cash to limit overloading the map works perfectly. so much fun to be had filling a crate with propane tanks then blowing it up and watching it back in slow motion. everything you do recorded in real time to watch back from any angle at varying speeds. the videos dont even take up much space!the game feels well balanced and once you get used to the new control system you find it works a lot better than the old one. new 3rd person view for some weapons, new grenades and power ups etc, as always stunning sound track by martin o'donnel. I also think the graphics could have been tweaked up a little but for the amount on the disc i'd have preferred to keep forge and all the multiplayer options and recording etc than have it look slightly prettier to be honest. back in the day pong wouldnt have been any more fun coz it looked nicer. the addition of 4 player co-op was a genius stroke, something im sure we'd all wished for in H2. However, it does make the game a little too easy on legendary cant really find enough good things to say about this one, and im not easy pleased. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brymon Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Played the multi player last night, i think this is possibly overtaking Gears of War!! About halfway through the campaign. Im enjoying it, great fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan' Sharuminar Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Played the campaign co-op with a friend from the midnight opening and the following day. Was a good blast, though very short, and I've played too many PC FPS's to consider it more than an average shooter. Multiplayer remains Halo's strength though, fantastic fun to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Could have an ab music game of multiplayer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 not a bad idea, an aberdeen music halo tournament. i've been getting some practice in and actually won a game today. multiplayers kicks ass, my favourite trick is getting the active camo and sneaking up behind folks and sticking plasma grenades to them.

Three double kills and a triple kill. Hells yes, team lost though... So even with my fine effort it was in vain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayeth Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Even though I think the Halo series is vastly overrated, in my boredom this evening and for lack of a fresh game to play I drove all the way out to ASDA to spend the last of my cash for the week on it. I've just heard too many good things from so many people about it.I'm only on here first because theres some lengthy Live update to be done first.

ZeromiserY Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 im possibly holding a lan not this weekend but next (13/14th) if anyone is interested.so far have 2 teams of 4. looking for more.does anyone know if you can play lan/live? ie, having 2 xbox's in one house playing on the lan and over live? so 8 player/2 xboxs one location against the same at another location?your right though, theres nothing better than a replay of sticking your own team mate and sending him kamikazee into a packed base. pretty sure there was a medal for that in halo 2, like the killtacular etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acey Trixx Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 enjoyed the single player its short but im looking forward to going through it on legendary on co-op.graphics are alright but im still sure it could have been a bit better seeing as how its one of the biggest games on the xboxmultiplayer is just as good fun as it always is in halogonna try out the forge tonight and see what its all about not tried messing around with it yet.
