let's talk about Halo 3

SORRY U CAN'T JST FRAG KNOBS WITH THE PISTOL

there is alot more then that, game-engine, psychics, maps, grenades, weapons (dualwielding sucks, sword sucks), and i can go on about it...
example, if they would make a new counterstrike with homing missils, onehit kills with swords while flying to enemy, dual AK47's, i bet alot of ppl would be gutted.

Wow, I was just reminded today how much I hate every jackass on there with a microphone. The firt few days everyone had been decent and normal. Today I got teamed up with every moron out there.

For some reason it annoys me a lot to hear to people bitching at each other and then one makes the worst comeback in the world ad thinks he's gold for it.

Overheard today:

Some Brit: Nah americas so gay. You know you're fat.
Some Brit: Anyone born there is so stupid.
Kid he's talking to: I was born in Germany and moved here when I was 6.
Some Brit: <long pause> I bet I fucked your mom though!!

Then he burst into laughter at his own awesomeness.

Mute-all is a wonderful thing.

Making the game more dynamic and noob friendly has made it better, imo.

wow, i wanted to discuss why halo 1 is way the best one, but now after reading this i give up.

Hey, I'm all for thinking Halo 1 is the best ever. As awesome as I think it is, I think it was in danger of burning out. All you ever want in multiplayer is a pistol, sniper, and frag nades (maybe shotgun, but I hated that so much I just needed to destroy anybody using them). All other weapons are substantially inferior. The dynamics here are itsy bitsy, and in order for the game to survive it would need to be hugely strategic. Moreso than Counter Strike. CS weaponry is lacking in dynamics, yet still pwns Halo 1 in that respect.

I would honestly rather play Hang em High Halo 1 pistols only than any other fps game still. But that's partly because I own those I played. The nature of Halo, I believe, is meant to be of high weapon dynamics. IMO, this is an inferior way to make an fps since CS is the quintessence of awesomeness, but it's still very good and very fun.

And every game has strengths and weaknesses. Dominant players still dominate no matter, they just gotta adapt. I personally, loooooove the idea of equalizing weaponry as best as can be. I believe this makes the game more enjoyable to get better at without as much frustration. CS is the most frustrating game to get good at since somebody with poor control can never pwn somebody with great control. If in Halo 3, all weapons are equalized, then pwning becomes affected more by situations than otherwise. Now, not only are we on the lookout for good players, but for good-weapon wielders (or weapons that work awesome in specific circumstances).

Well, ofcourse some weapons in h1 ware not really usefull, like needler, or maybe assaultrifle, but all other weapons are usefull, shotgun for closeup, plasmarifle for taking off shield, attacting from behind, and ofcourse pistol was superior, but it wasnt that if u were not good with pistol, that u couldnt win against someone with a better pistol, if u were smarter u could still own him, using nades, posistion, powerups...(good players used timer for powerups), etc...
anyway i still play h1, never get bored of it, know alot of ppl who also still play it.Btw i heard some rumours that they gonna bring it on XBL arcade.would be awesome!

[2_Thumbs_Up]

From what I've heard the arcade version won't have LIVE support. But that seem too stupid to be true.

Halo 3 Map Expansion pack is now available, it'll run you 800 Microsoft points. 3 new maps, I'm downloading them now....might try to put up a review a little later.

[2_Thumbs_Up]

Only map worth it is foundry IMO.

[Galapogos]

Is foundry that underground one from Halo 2? Because I miss that one.

strategy post:

when I played halo 2 online (not long) I used 6 sensitivity. I carried that over to halo 3. I did well.

Lately I've been using a slower sensitivity. Usually 3 or 4 does the trick (3 is the default). On some games (e.g. shotty snipers on Valhalla), I'll drop it down to 2.

I have done more well.

[Lukie]

it really helps sniping and the 4 shot battle rifle kills--- thing of beauty.

[Galapogos]

I like 2. And I still suck. But 1 is way too slow for open field battle.

[Dislexsik]

2 is way too slow for sniping aswell, ur gonna get owned alot when u get someone behind u

Foundry is a completely blank map. But it has a lot of objects you can put on it with forge. I've already seen some very creative ideas.

The 360 controller sucks. The thumbsticks are shorter than on the regular xbox wich makes precise movements harder. It's quite easy to switch thumbsticks with an original controller though if you just unscrew it. This have made wonders for my game.

i cant wait for my fucking halo to be delivered from hong kong *o*
