WE HAVE A WINNER!
Yes, dude that is awesome news. I've been looking forward to this game for so long.
I've already got that day off from work and will be at bestbuy waiting for the doors to open! :thumbsup:
I really dont think that Halo is that great.. im sorry. Its played by a bunch of 13 year old emo kids, has decent multiplayer, and alot of media backing from Microsoft. But other than that, just your average FPS
hahaha couldnt have said it better myself.Quote:

So I agree with you a lot of emo 13 year olds probably do play Halo and you know why? Because Halo while not trying to be innovative (which a game does not need to be) takes classic FPS features and perfects them giving you a a fluid and fun gameplay experience, They then wrap that gameplay in a great package that contains a decent video game storyline, with good voice acting and great presentation, great graphics, one of the best musical scores in gaming. The atmosphere and challenge the game provides on the higher difficulties is great. Making the Halo series one of the best FPS series out there.
That is just the solo aspect (since I don't play multiplayer)
People that tend to hate on Halo usually fall into these categories:
A. FPS haters
B. Microsoft Haters/Other console fanboys
C. Simply trying to Troll
D. Hating on it because it's highly popular (cool to go against the masses)
E. Most to all of the above.
Have a nice day
i guess id fall into the D category.
if its was gow or some other good game id understand its popularity.. but its not.. it sucks.
^^^^what he said same weak ass story line same old weapons pretty much same old maps nothing really new about it at all i played the beta and sos but i will buy it to play it for a min and then say damn why did i buy that. but i guess it will be a break from vegas for alilQuote:

lol. I have a 5 hour college class I have to get up for in 4 hours, after that I will be going to work until 6pm from there I'm getting picked up by my friend as we have tickets to go see Smackdown/ECW which will last until midnight. Then I will go home and crash again. When I wake up Wed (which I have off) I'll spend the the whole day playing away.
Just as I spent the whole day today finishing off Bioshock.
I'm playing halo 3 right now (sorry fanboi's!) but its awesome!, just gotta put the headphones on mute for all the gay 12 y.o.s!
Bah, one more day for me =[
I didnt even take the time to see what the haters said!
If you have Halo 3 My gamertag is :RedLiteHK
hit me up so we can play so co op or get owned in slayer!
My xbox live tag = Dr Zimzum , ETA 45min for bestbuy to open up :giggity::giggity:
I have two more classes...... only 3 and a half more hours
4 player co oop guys add me so we can do this when you guys get ready!
i will have mine today and i hope i stand corrected as i do want it to be a good game but based off the beta i saw nothing diffrent from the other 2 i hope the offline story mode is alot longer than the last 2
That's what bugs me, if you are looking for something "new and different" you don't buy a damn sequel. A sequel is a return to the same gameplay style for another go. You get enhancements and tweaks in a sequel but in most cases you get the same formula at the core.
It irritates horribly when someone bashes a sequel because it's "same old, same old" that's exactly what a sequel is supposed to be. Someone doesn't play a game and say "I love this game I hope they make a sequel and completely change the forumla!"
If you want something new and different try Bio Shock (excellent game) but if you are wanting more of Halo style FPS then get Halo 3 which WILL be very much like Halo and Halo 2 with a few upgrades and tweaks.

^^^^^^^ no it's not supposed to be that way yes cont. with the story part yea but same old weapons same kindda maps..i think the sequel to a game should stay true to the core but update it self with new stuff new options and they did but kindda half assed nothing really new and diffrent.u really don't see how game companies run a game through the mill over and over???i sure do
Well thats around the lines of what I was gonna post, but pale said it fine for me. I just was never really a big halo fan, just never feel into the craze. I think its a lot more hype than anything, and prolly forces a lot of games to go un-noticed, and a lot of potentially FPS's not to be made because they are scared to compete.Quote:

In all of their games the add new and great things every time, but still stick to the basics. And the Final Fantasy series, that seems to switch up game play every time, and still pulls of a genius job.Quote:

Halo3 is a truly awesome game all together
I love the game, it's fun owning but can be frustrating getting owned lol.
