man, this is what i hate about the f'ing internet sometimes. ruins a lot of things. its like filling up a giant water balloon to toss at your friend, and you spend 30 minutes filling it up and some punk kid runs to it and pops it with a needle. (not that im implying youre the punk kid with the needle ) just websites like kotaku and other that strive on this kind of stuff. its no fun anymore. 14 year old bastards know what game youre working on before your company announces it to you.
Well, nothing, and everything... It worked, and its a stunning game to look at, but at the same time its full of errors, and really grinds me. I can look at a lot of games and not get annoyed but Halo 3 just narked me... Was it the billion smoothing errors on the models? Was is the hand painted really pixelated and blockey normal maps? Was it the, to be honest, god awful first person weapons...? Was it the human character models from an early PS2 game...?
I just dont know... Thats the issue with Halo 3 for me, its not that its bad, it works together, and the lighting is to be honest some of the finest in a game to date... Its just that... It makes my eyes bleed at the same time...?
I really am hoping Halo:ODST is more gritty than Halo 3. Halo 3 burned my retina's and amazingly I hope ODST is very dark, very grimey and, well, realistic. No not Gears of War Grey or Quake 2 Brown, but you know... A bit of a step in the realistic direction rather than the cartoon style of Halo 3.
I'll shush now, I'll be pissing a lot of people off any second. But this is all IMO of course, so don't judge
I know a person who'll go crazy of excitment when reading this...
ME!! MEE !! ME!!
i duno what to think, to say, no time!
one part of me is crazy of excitement, the other part is greaf that im probably too late?
i was hoping to get a couple months for ultimate portfolio boosting but i guess there is no time left.
if there is something, a goal in my life, it is a halo project. No matter what it takes, i need to get my ass in there.
call your friends and bring a gun
the halo revolution's on
caping flags and arming bombs
yes. we don't blink until we're done
bring...a... drink or three prepare for war
the night could last 4 hours or more
saddle up and pick your team
obliterate your enemies
the true elite
melee and snipe
while the jerks they hog the rocks
continually blowing off ones socks
killtactular
is screamed at me
followed by noob and other obscenities
i haven't done a thing to deserve these things
while blue team frags from up above
the chief sweeps in and takes the flag
jacks a ghost and so it goes
defeat is imminent for red
time...flys... by the time we realize
that hours have passed. it's 3am
HALO 3 has pwned us all
like every time and time again
in the end
we close our eyes
we put to sleep our one track minds
destroyer of our productive lives.
in the end
we live to dream
the only MC in our lives
lives in a tube screen by our bed side
Rens, something tells me Halo will be around a LOT longer than these other few games. Its too much of a cash cow to just give up on, lets be honest. It prints money
Halo 3's bunker and giant-alien-anus environments, the lack of more substantial urban environments, and weak cutscenes were disappointing for me, but I still like it quite a bit overall. I've got my fingers crossed that ODST is going to be really awesome but I'm trying not to get my expectations too high.
Incidentally, can we declare a five-year moratorium on alien anus doors? :poly116:
Halo was legit when it wasn't an MS megabeast. Second MS bought it I lost all interest, haven't touched it since they force Halo 2.
Uninterested 100% in anything that comes out regarding that series, except the movie cus of Jacksons involvement, even that I am speculative about.
LoTR was off the hook, everything else - meh.
Wait, wait, wait... how did you ever play a halo game *before* Microsoft bought it/bungie?
Also, as mentioned, MS doesn't own bungie anymore.
Anyways, ODST looked pretty cool I thought. Interested to see how it feels with the flashing between characters and such. Reach... yea, looking forward to that. The book was pretty sweet.
Halo3 let the series down in my opinion. They started with such a good game and concept then it was well the same no imporvements to go with the improved hardware and I just thought huh ok its just a better looking version of Halo1 but now its not got anything to get you excited in the first one when the flood turned up it was great :poly101: omg the shit has hit the fan bang shot gun to the face. Then in 3 boring.... bang ow no more flood yawn.........
Quokimbo , GameStop does that shit though when you pre-order games with them you get special weapons or whatever. Yeah, it is a way to get ppl to buy more of your games, but everyone does it. "If you pre-order now, you get into the beta."
Dear Bungie, stop it with the Halo, please... I beg of you...
If you want to keep making a series continue with Myth I and II were my favorite games of all time. Great multiplayer, engaging single player, unique units and gore oh the gore!
I mean for heavens sake Wights are the all time coolest enemy in any game ever.
I don't know about the color they used on the red vs blue multiplayer, pure red and pure blue, no gradients or anything. Makes it look like a 16-color game.

Me? I want.
But what could it possibly be...? Maybe set BEFORE Halo...? I hope they fired the artists from 3
what was wrong with the art in 3?
Don't blame the curiosity of excited fans. Blame the incompetent or untrustworthy people who leak the stuff.

I hope that's what it means. After reading that book, the games were a huge let down.
*Waits for HD video*
EDIT: Oh shit, Reach is BEFORE

announcment, if you buy ODST you'll get into the reach mp beta.
teaser trailer there, pretty uninformative ofc as all teasers are.
" Spartans never die, they just go to hell to regroup!"
the fall of reach, oh man, just like i hoped they would, build in all the missing pieces.
Wait, wait, wait... how did you ever play a halo game *before* Microsoft bought it/bungie?

how do these people expect me to sleep at night! damnit!
eld, spartans never die
spartans are never listed as KIA, only MIA, that way a spartan has never died.
(I'm gay for halo!)
.
halo ODST trailer
and that trailer.. far out!
Looks like Halo 3...I am so tired of Halo.
What a crock cop out to get people to buy games! :poly127: I remember running out and renting Crackdown to get the Halo 3 beta LoL
