Halo 3

I had a shoot at microsoft studios today (also where the microsoft store is located) and there were people lined up around the entire building waiting to buy Halo 3. While we were on brake I went to the visitor center and played it for a couple of minutes. Honestly don't see what the big hype is for this game, personally would not be waiting in a long line in the rain for this thing.

lol. ya hes staring at me, but im at work.

My limited edition in the steel box is so janky. Box is dented and not embossed, just a crooked halo 3 printed logo.

Both discs were loose inside and the extras disc is scratched to all hell. Pontiac ads and a mediocre art book in there also.

the loose and scratched discs are a rampid problem on the gfaq's board

Looks like your not the only one...

It's not worth the hype, but I was so disappointed with the last one that i wasn't even really looking forward to this one (i'm not big into deathmatch) but my friend tricked me into getting it (i swear!) and to be honest so far it's actually impressed me... a little.

I do wish it looked better. I mean it looks good, but it's not a 360 show piece. The graphics stand out more design wise than technically. Sound is pretty good and the AI has been bumped up. I don't remember the baddies using suppressive fire like they do now. And even in the first couple hours, the story of Halo 2 had lost me, and Halo 3 has been much more compelling, well, more compelling.

It's been fun, just not ****ING AMAZING! AHHHHHHHHHH! HALO 3! YEEAAAHHHHHH!

...ugh
 
Finished the game at 4:00 AM this morning. Good stuff. Good conclusion to the trilogy. By the time you make it to the very end of the game you're jumping off the couch cheering the Master Chief's name ... at least I was. :)
 
The graphics aren't really that much better. The main difference is in the multiplayer gameplay. They've spent huge amounts of effort in streamlining it perfectly, so that it's essentially as good as halo can get. The people who really get the best of this are those who spent a lot of time playing. Granted, that's not myself. But it's an excellent game from what I've played.
 
The replay system for multiplayer is nice, but I predict the bullet time effect will get old real quick just like it did in EVERY OTHER VIDEOGAME since 2002! =)
 
I never played either Halo before, but i tried this one out. The single player so far is pretty good on the normal setting (i'm at level 4 or 5), and the multiplayer is pretty damn good. I loved and still love the Gears multiplayer a lot, but Halo 3 offers a lot more in the multiplayer aspect. And most important of all, the game is fun!

And like said before, it doesn't have the best next gen graphics, but they are above average, good graphics and the game has good fps. It's a damn good game, which is why it suprises me how it has so much mass appeal. (if that makes any sense)
 
Yeah, I had ordered the limited disc from amazon, and it came in all scratched up. So I'm going to get a refund on that. But that thursday I went out and bought the standard edition from target, which had like 5 of them. My gamer tag is pfista if any of you wants to play me sometime.
 
I just beat it a few minutes ago and I thought it was total ass. There's nothing new here to get excited about. It's the same old cliche'd sci-fi tripe, so I never understand the amount of hype that goes into it. The only things that make it sell as well as it does are...

1) A fanbase that contains millions of "casual" gamers

2) The multiplayer

Maybe if they spent more time and effort trying to make a game with an actual f.ucking story and some characters worth caring about they'd have more to brag about than "LOOK HOW MANY WE SOLD!" I mean, Master Chief is one-dimensional in the worst way. Just go here, shoot this, save universe. And all those Cortana blips throughout the game. I was expecting some big explanation for all of that random **** that spews out of her. Wrong. Nothing. Even the cut-scenes seemed thrown together with their atrocious editing and staggered pace. If they're really going to make a movie out of the franchise, I hope they don't let Bungie touch it. Otherwise we're going to end up with another DOOM.

Now if you're up for playing a game that truly breaks new ground and looks beautiful as well...

I am so bad at Halo. All of my friends are obsessed with it.

They make fun of me because I once said, "battle rocket," mixing up battle rifle and rocket launcher.
