Halo 3

[Longsword_337]

Ummm... kinda noticed that there wasnt any Halo 3 thread, so i thought id make one.

any questions/comments?

also, if you wanna hear my theories on how the forunners are the humans, hit me up.

[Rival24]

Why don't you enlighten us

I don't like to read much so please keep it to 3 words or less
Just kiddin'

Halo 3 will be Xbox 360 for sure, so moving this from Xbox Games to Xbox 360 Games

And bring on the theories

[Studley]

In an ideal world, I'd like to see Halo 3 as multiplayer-only (perhaps with bots for offline play). The story mode isn't that good, most of the single-player maps are very repetitive (not quite as bad as Halo 1, but still close), and the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack showed that there's some really imaginative stuff still going on in the community.

Plus Halo 2's still going strong because it's one of the best online multiplayer console FPS's ever, but who honestly has touched the singleplayer in the last year?

Some crappy Xbox game I played for 30 minutes once and dropped, never to look at it again.

I guess we scared him away! (either that or he's taking a REALLY long time typing).

Okay, those of you guys out there who are a part of the roosterteeth community may be hearing some old news, but heres a real brief gist:

A friend of mine took a 3d model of the milky way. then, he took some known info from the halo games and books and ran a little program:

he thought that by guessing, he could know where the Ark was, and that (in my opinion, this is the *whoa* moment...) the ark, from bible references, is a vessel used to escape the blast of the halos 100,000 years ago. so, he plotted 7 points on the 3d galaxy, and gave them a blast radius of 25,000 LY, the range of the halos blast. in the beginning, the patterns were overlapping, whinch wasnt good. so, by tweaking it a bit, and changing the positions, he came up with the perfect positions.

-and-

gasp, there's a cool little point, that there was only one, teeny, tiny little point in the galaxy, in the system Sol, right where earth is, a "blind spot" if you will.

which TOTALLY screams to me that the ark is either here or on Luna (the actual name of our moon)

cool, eh?

props to Kasimoto, of the RTC.

[Chris]

That's a bit over the line.

[cybermans]

ponder its star trek. And hell ya I am a Trekkie!

* cybermans fasers ponder down!

[Ponder416]

I stand corrected sorry for that, just took me by surprise the hole Ark of the covenant and Halo come on man?????

[Longsword_337]

well, there ARE alot of biblical refs in it. if you look for it, that is. im the kinda guy who notices things outta the ordinary. like that guy from the da vinci code.

so, ya, my guess, is that MC is gonna find a new suit of mjolnir armor or the equivalent on the forerunner ship, be4 he kicks some prophet ass.

Trekkies are like Japanese and Romans. All completely nuts

I think I'm the only one, who's really looking forward to H3 Halo 1 and 2 where both great, i still play Halo 2 MP many many times, and I hope Halo 3 MP is as good as Halo 2 .

Seriously, the system link mode is so great! If you get to a group of friends together (like 8 or something), who have all played it many, many times, know the maps out of there head, all the sniper spots, you REALLY have chaos all the time! (Hint: CTF on Headlong, Human weapons ) From acctually screaming and jumping out of you chair if the flag is nearly scored and someone is proffessionally shot down (you know, like 1 cm from the scoring place )

[Rival24]

I'm looking forward to it too, but not for the same reasons. I'm only looking forward to it because it's a game Microsoft put a lot of money into. Halo 1 & 2 weren't that interesting, especially the single player part was kinda crappy. The multiplayer however was pretty well done. So let's bring on that expensive piece of software called halo 3.

[Longsword_337]

ya, im not a harcore halo fan, i just like the mp.

honestly, the only reason why im so excited for h3 is to tie up the crappy story from h2.

[Neejoh]

Halo 1 ruled bigtime. It was one of my first games on the xbox and I played it until my eyes couldn't handle it anymore (and it was light out). Aahhhh remember those days Messiah?

Anyways. I really, REALLY liked that one, although it got really repetitive at times, I had a great time. But them the sequel happend :N Haven't played it online, so I can't really judge the game because of that. But come on, what in the name of ZEUS was that?

I surely hope that H3 will rock, bigtime. But I'm gonna sit it out and check the demo (if it will be on marketplace, ofcourse) first before I buy it!

[Chris]

I just hope they don't build these HUGE expectations and then fall short.

I'm excited about Halo 3.

I hope they just say it's done one day and release it. A good game can sell itself .

How can you say this? Halo is one of the most critically acclaimed series in gaming history. The gameplay is solid, and I honestly like the story mode, the storyline is quite interesting. But dude, Halo is one of the best games to touch a console .

He was being sarcastic!

No he wasn't. And I agree with him, Halo isn't that good. It's just another shooter, maybe it was the first one with vehicles. But the story is kinda boring and repetitive. The only thing that's technically well done is the multiplayer, because it works so well if you compare it to something like Call of Duty 2 ( ). But i can fully understand if someone doesn't like the whole setting of the game, the weapons, the scenery etc.. That makes you toss the game in a corner
