[360] Halo Kitty

Best part about Halo 3 is obviously Proximity Voice. It makes it so awesomely funny that you can jack a warthog and have conversations with people on the opposing team in it.

Also, it presents opportunities to do dumb shit. Someone on the other team drove by our party on a Mongoose in BTB on High Ground, and out of nowhere the guy blasts the Dukes of Hazzard horn through his mic. Laughed forever.

I was playing a match the other day and the team I was on sucked, even heard the other team talking about it. I was in the back practicing snipe skills when I hear some jerk in the base go "Oh that's what I'm looking for! Need that sniper" as I turn around and deliver unto him insane amounts of ELBOW JUSTICE I yell "COME AND GET IT BUDDY."

"Oh." as he dies. Nerdy, yet awesome.

Thank you, proximity voice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If any of you assholes still has Halo 2 and has either myself, Devo or Tube on your list we're playing H2 up until the release of the third to get ready. Just send us a message if you see us on and we'll throw you in.

Despite the fact that it sucks and the people on it are 'tards playing with Devo and Tube has been a blast. We even got Kairyu to join last night (lawl team furry) for the lulz. Unfortunately Tube, Devo and Kai are apparently better than everyone else on the planet, which was kind of good considering I'm garbage. Did nothing but run around and shout obscenities and laugh like a maniac when I got an occasional kill. Still fun nonetheless. Not sure how far the range of proximity voice extends but I trailed behind Devo most of the night, I'm sure she could attest to my hilarious adventures.

Join in for some elbow action before the true sequel to H1 gets released.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't get on multi.
Don't get on multi.
Don't get on multi.
Don't get on multi.

Get 3 friends and play the FUCKING CAMPAIGN. Shit is amazing.

We only played for 3 hours (made it to mission 6 on Legendary) but god damn, most fun I've had in a long time. I'll write more in the morning, but Tube summed it up better than I could.

9.9/10. Not gonna lie.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I can't see how you can say it's a 9.9. Way too short by any FPS standard.

First few missions are short. The rest are much, much longer. Campaign is about 12-13 hours overall. I like how the assault rifle isn't garbage anymore. Starting off with the Battle Rifle is kinda ugh in some multi games, but at least the AR packs a punch now.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh yeah, thanks for the crazy weapon assists back there .

Dude, no PROBLEM. Forge was awesome. Spawning weapons was really fun.

Also, who buys a console FPS for the story, hell, Gears was much shorter than Halo has ever been (Gears' story can be beaten in insanely short time, 5-6 hours tops, iirc.), and that was well received. If you're really looking for 60 hours, go play and RPG, or Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, which took me 60+ hours to beat. The multiplayer is what keeps people playing an FPS for years, not the story. People aren't playing Unreal Tournament, Quake, and Doom years later because of the single player experience. The SP is more like a bonus in this case, the MP is what counts in the long run.

Now, if this were Metroid, I'd be singing a different tune. A series without MP should have a story that you can dive into for hours and hours at a time. This isn't to say the story mode in Halo 3 isn't worth it. It's short, but the replay value is great if you have a huge friends list and different people to play with. I've played with two groups so far, and the experience has been different each time. Tons of fun.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Stop crying.
Leave the thread.

Problem solved. If you spend 60 dollars just for the campaign alone, you'll be wasting your money. The real fun is playing campaign with friends you know and then hoping online to test your skills. That's the only way to do it.

I'm kinda sad because I've been getting invites ALL DAY from a good 40 or so people on my list. Now that we're done campaign I can't wait to get together with all the guys I've met on live and on GFF and tear shit up in Big Team games.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Any time you have more than 4 people on a team you have to push to talk.

Can't change it, apparently.

The post-credits scene is only viewable when you beat it on Legendary.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Right, my bad. I've only beaten it on Legendary and was going by what I've heard. Those last 8 seconds or so are epic as fuck though. It's pretty much like OH SHI-! and then it ends.

Who even beats it on a difficulty lower than Legendary though, lets be honest here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gimme a holler if you're in #xblive tonight and I'll help.

The Arbiter retains his temporary active camo when he is AI controlled, players can't use it though.

I've only seen him use it a few times, to be honest. He is invincible in the sense that he can't permanently die like the marines.

I like how I got stepped on by the Scarab when I was moving to meet up with the tanks in The Ark. Funniest shit ever. I had no idea what hit me until I saw the rest of it walk past. Maybe I'll make a video clip of it. Next time I'm playing through with someone I won't rush through the door so quick.

Hahaha, check out the forum banner. Bigblah forgot to put it up on the 25th, but it's there now. Galen made it! =D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

If Halo's shotty worked at anything other than "point-blank-in-your-chest" range this wouldn't be a problem.

Anyways, I've found sidestepping slightly before getting in zero-range increases your chance of living and getting the kill.

Also Shotty Snipers is gay.

Yes, let's all be sniper whores!

Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.

I don't remember if I've ever seen that happen before, but it must have been fucking hilarious.

"Shotty snipers man veto this shit!"
::shotty snipers again::
"AW WHAT"

16 man BTB is great though. Now we can go into GFF games with 8 instead of trying to cap off our people at 6, or being stuck at 7.

Similarly the battle rifle is brilliant for mid to long range attacks, but you get too close to someone with an AR and they can take advantage of its rate of fire. It's not about weapon control, it's about controlling your weapon.

There's a phrase about poor workmen and tools that comes to mind.

I've actually trumped people who had an AR close range with a BR and had the same done to me, depends on how good the users aim is sometimes. Especially if you backpedal while the other person charges, keeping them out of melee range.

Either way, yeah, completely agreeing with Devo here. Have to know what weapon is right for the situation.

For those of you who get a chance to hop on today, be sure to check out the special 27 hour playlist.

We managed to get a game before we ended our session about an hour ago, and it was a fucking blast.
