and cant play it because my friend is being dumped and needs someone to talk to. Bummer. I'll post my review later this morning..
EDIT: Ok so far. game sucks. his shields are horrible. they go away super fast. two shots and you have no shields. you can rush in like you used to, even on normal. walking around with the turrets is a plus though, just hit B and you have the chain gun in your hands. they changed some of the controls. X isnt what it used to be. cant figure out what it is yet (i dont like directions). brutes are annoying. but they remind me of the elites from the first halo. i am hoping that the 3rd levels and on will improve but so far its meh to me. |

Give him a fifth of alcohol. It'll be a better friend than you could be. Plus, then you can play video games.

My review since the Midnight release.
The controls aren't too messed up, there is a Classic selection to make the adjustment way easier. I didn't adjust and am doing quite fine. The aiming ease is great, just like all Halo games. Love the Brutes! Aim for their heads, the helmet busts off and they are more vulnerable. Easiest/fastest way to eliminate them. Makes you have to concentrate better and improve your game, I much enjoy it. They've introduced a flash-bang of sorts, only no bang but just as annoying! I like the addition though, will add more variety and flavor to the game and system links/online. And overall this game is visually superior to anything I've ever played. G.o.W. and Bioshock don't even touch Halo 3! It's brilliant, vivid, at times realistic even. A big rock doesn't just look like a graphic obstacle, it has texture. Of course if you're not a fan of FPS then stay away. Me however FPS are my favorite genre of games. So I'm quite happy. And I only got Limited, not Legendary edition. $160 for "making of" videos I've already probably downloaded months ago via xbox live and a mini-helmet so small I can't even wear it? I'll pass, not worthy of the asking price in my book. The game in a tin can will be good enuf for me. That's only an extra $10, and there's enough extras to warrant that type of minimal extra cost. But work in the morning calls, so I'm not gonna be able to punch into Xbox Live tonight. Tomorrow is another story. ------------- http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=166647&PN=1">

Yeah, from everything I hear it's basically Halo 2 with some nifty additions. Not a big deal for me, I'm buying the game for the multiplayer. Hopefully there'll still be some copies at Best Buy or somewhere else tomorrow. We better be able to get a forum game going this week.

| i dono. the aiming seemed different for me. and the weaker shields make me mad. the game does look sweet though. i dont like the Marines' new camo. it looks like the ARMY's ACU stuff, with all the grays, but its not digital. haha SGT MJR Johnson runs weird. anyone figure out how to turn the flashlight on? |

According to Gforce tv there is no sheild. And what is the story? Are you on earth? Or do you begin on earth and then go to yet ANOTHER ring and have to destroy the ring yada yada yada. -------------

well there is defiantly a shield no matter how pathetic it is.
the game is much better than it was at first. the rocket launcher at least in campaign no longer has that tracking which sucks. arbiter when he does something, has a damn good shot haha. started out on earth, flood came that sucked. i cant stand them. they arent as deadly as they used to be. now i am on what could be another ring. but it doesnt look like one. the tank no longer has the machine gun, unless you are in the machine gun turret. so you can do both at the same time. which kinda sucks. brute chopper is badass. |

I just got it today, and I'm quite pleased with it.  The shields could be a bit better though. Though I am quite happy with the new weapons, especially since they brought back the assault rifle.

Gravity hammer == badass. I'm probably half way through it right now, and I like it. Visually, it's a lot better game. Some spots where there 8-10 Brutes to deal with are pretty tough. Can't wait to get out of school so I can head home and finish it.

ok. Chief doesnt die. after credits, he goes into that hibernation thingy. sooo room for halo 4.
also. did anyone else not play the battle they showcase in the commercials or did i and just not realize it? |

| after the credits he lays down in the bed in the space ship. no way he died. it sets up for another halo should they decide to continue the fight. |

They don't necessarily have to "continue" the fight. They can easily make a prequel. Why not?
Then Arnold will go back in time to kill Master Chief. Setting up an ironic twist for the sequal where he will travel in time to save M.C. instead! ------------- http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=166647&PN=1">

Ending sucked... but didn't Bungie say no more Halo?
Which is weird considering flood still exist and there are more rings. -------------
|
Posted By: Snake6
Date Posted: 30 September 2007 at 12:58pm
Bungie said that this game was the end to the current story Arc. Which means that Chief could come back in another game, and be fighting someone else. Or it could mean prequels. Or it could mean he is fighting the flood, now and not the covvie since they were all killed. -------------

| i dont know if id buy another game if it includes the flood. i'd rather jsut fight the covenant. but they are dead. maybe invade the brute homeworld or something. or maybe elites need help and humans respond. i dont know. but anything that has to do with the flood will kill the game in my opinion. flood is lame and annoying. |
