[360] Halo Kitty

^ You see that's why I like Halo. It basically starts out as "I am mr. badass supersoldier. I flip military jeeps with one hand and have a half ton indestructible armor that has selfregenerating forcefield. It's me vs. endless army of aliens. GO".

BUT in the reality, the aliens are a religious fanatic crew, humanity is being wiped out slowly, you fight in constructs and against creations that predate known life in the universe, and there's a serious, interesting BACKSTORY and wonderful background music setting incredible mood. It's as fun in single player as it is in multi. You can just shootout or you can immerse in the massive background history, and so on. And to top that, the game is very solid and plays well too.

I think they already announced that the trailer was ingame and not a video render like all the PS3 shots.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At bungies site they mentioned something about releasing it in mp3 once, and I'm not sure what you mean about background but you may want to check this.

6400x3600 screenshots.

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

Not even joking. Anyone have any ideas as to what this might mean.

... Did you watch it on an Xbox? The PC trailers are stereo only.

How ya doing, buddy?

edit: ohsnap. What codec is used on that thing? I can only get stereo sound of it in any video player, including WMP9. I can only get 5.1 if i load the thing into foobar 0.83.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ehm, actually, a printed magazine version of a screenshot will almost never look as good as the original shot, especially for games. Who knows what preprocessing/resizing was applied to the image, what DPI they used when printing the magazine, how did they edit the picture so it fits in the article (color/gamma, 'shopping) etc.

I'm positive that the game WILL look much better then the shots you saw.

I mean, unless, they used some of those ludicrous 6400x3600 shots when making the article, like the render screengrabs they released for the E3 demo.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sooo anyone has a 5.1 720p download link for this new trailer? Or is it not released in hd quality yet?

FELIPE NO

Well, we've seen Arbiter and Master Chief talking to each other (or at least, interacting) in one of the preview videos, so a kind of alliance wouldn't be farfetched - even if its just Arbiter and his company and Master Chief, trying to stop the Prophet from activating the rings.

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

The Halo Uprising comic is out now, its a Marvel Comics miniseries that ties up Halo 2 to Halo 3 - so far the one thing shown is that Master Chief gets the dents on his armor by

Spoiler:

being shot in the chest by 10 Hunters in a row

. Which seems overkill imo, as one shot can kill you in the game and I don't remember any spartan surviving a direct hit in the novels either.

Yes, but Hunters are about that much of a challenge in the books as well (which are canon). Heck, in Ghosts of Onyx, a shield-less Spartan got VAPORIZED from a point-blank Hunter shot. I've rechecked the page, and it has 6 Hunters, sweeping their Fuel-rod cannons for half a page - thats overkill no matter which canon you are looking at, game mechanics or books.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So appearantly some ASSCLOWN leaked the game - Microsoft already issued a statement that they wont ban people who play it early.

Anybody tried the leaked version?

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

Yah, looks like Microsoft retracted their statement and WILL ban accounts.

Disconnecting from the net doesnt solve that either cause they can check your "what-games-you-played" list.

The first is pretty damn awesome and has tons of replay value. Single player mode is excellent and epic, even with all the backtracking. I mean it features one of the most repetitive levels ever made in gaming (The Library) but its still excellent and fun - and very memorable. It's a cross between very oldschool fps game with nextgen control system, and the AI is very, very good. Also, hard mode is not hard because you take more damage, but because the AI is so brilliant.

The second is mostly aimed at hardcore people, single player mode is nowhere near as fun and most extras only come out in legendary mode (which is plain ridiculous - halo 1 was fair in that mode, halo 2 kills you in 2 shots). Multiplayer is much better though, but I'm guessing that nobody will play it in multi now that 3 is out.

edit: I must say though, that I'm on the border of grabbing a x360 as well, I'm not waiting 6 years till they port halo 3 to pc (played halo 1-2 on that).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've a question - does Legendary mode play fair like in Halo 1, or is it still the cpu cheatfest as in Halo 2? Specifically, regarding damage scaling (Halo 2 Legendary got you killed after 4 plasma shots, Halo 1 didn't scale that horribly - instead, the 4 billion grunts could actually aim and chopped you to pieces in big numbers).
