[360] Halo Kitty

I've decided to make a few comments after quietly reading over this thread.

By now, all of you know that Halo 3 has been unanimously accepted as the true successor to the game that changed the world, Halo. Scoring almost flawless reviews across the board, and being acknowledged by diehard fans of the series and first-time FPS players alike, the game has already become a modern classic.

As for myself, being able to report -- with an unbiased candor -- that the game has surpassed my own impossible expectations, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Being able to call it game of the decade is still a bit surreal, even for me. Moreover, if you wish to see my in-depth review, please visit the Halo forum of EvilAvatar.com, as I presently moderate it.

That being said, here's the two key points I wanted to make:

1. This thread reeks of sheer animosity and spite, directed in disbelief as an act of unfounded desperation. Halo 3 actually living up to the hype seems to have pushed many of you over the edge. Without even willing to play the game before making ill, preconceived judgments, you've all revealed yourselves to be nothing other than a small, minority of irrelevant cry babies. Enjoy your Halo ass fucking.

2. Megalith is a hypocritical failure, and troll. After tirelessly bashing the Halo series, due to his own personal dislikes with its sequel, he is now incapable of giving a positive impression of the next game. This is mainly due to the fear of shooting himself in the foot, and exposing the fact that he is incapable of forming a conclusive opinion regarding anything. After tireless flip-flopping and an endless stream of incoherent insults, he is now incapable of discussing Halo in a way that can be viewed as reasonable or rational, even by the most feverish oh Halo haters.

He will also not attempt to refute this point, as: A) It's true, and B) His argumentative abilities hold the mental capacity of a donut. But you all know this already.

With that being said, I would like to point out that I've honestly had a blast playing Halo 3 with the regulars of #xblive, and truly appreciate the fact that some users of Gamingforce are willing to set their personal biases aside, giving the series the benefit of the doubt. It's fairly obvious that we have some new Halo fans in town.

Also, Tube, your Halo 3 review was extremely accurate, well written, and unbiased. I appreciate your impressions.

That is all I have to say.

Zeal

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can say that I'm really impressed with the netcode this time around. Four player co-op matches exhibit virtually no lag (unless you're hosting from a Wii) and multiplayer lag is hardly noticeable.

This game will be played for years based on co-op alone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is easily the best Halo yet.

Also, the aim of the Brute Shot has been greatly improved by removing the arc and bounce of its rounds. Highly effective weapon, especially for melee.

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

The sheep mentality of this forum is hilarious. It's practically follow the fuckin' leader around here. I wonder what trend will be next? Oh well, I don't really mind all of GFF jumping on the Halowagon, just please don't jump into multiplayer first and then attempt to give your "impressions" on the game. Better yet, please don't beat campaign on normal or easy and give a "review" of your handicapped experience.

Online co-op on LEGENDARY, first. Then you're gonna go into multiplayer matchmaking.

Halo has ALWAYS been about the cooperative experience, playing with others and getting together. Halo is social.

No wonder so many nerds hate it...

How ya doing, buddy?

Halo's multiplayer was thrown into the game at the last minute of development, admitted by its creators, Jason Jones and Alexander Seropian. The fact that the multiplayer aspect alone became so popular is testament to what a well designed game it was. Ironically, the original Halo still has some of the best multiplayer ever made.

I'm also aware of simulating LAN play using XBC and the like, as I used to do it all the time. Nevertheless, the game was never intended to for online play, so it can't really be considered an official component.

I also don't consider the PC version official, as it was outsourced.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Surely you ain't trying to say the only reason Halo's successful is because of multiplayer. Tell that to all the millions of novels (NYTimes best sellers), CDs, action figures, and other paraphernalia that constitutes the Halo Nation.

Did multiplayer play a big part? Sure. Did it make Halo the success it is? Nope.

That's just haterade talkin'.

Most amazing jew boots

The 640p claim is bullshit. It's the result of some shitty sets receiving screen tearing with the VGA connection.

I like how people are going out of they're way to try and slam this game, but then realize there isn't much to slam...so they're fucked.

Game is 720p, just like every other 360 game.

FELIPE NO

AICN Games: Quint plays through the HALO 3 campaign!!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

Quint from Ain't it Cool News gives a surprisingly awesome review of Halo 3. Written from a diehard fan's perspective (who knew?), he really nails what made Halo 1 and 3 great, all the while downplaying the joke that was Halo 2.

Z-MODE APPROVED.

How ya doing, buddy?

New easter egg found.



Jam it back in, in the dark.

A shotty/snipers game should automatically just be given as a win to whoever gets host. Shotgun lag = immediate death.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So no-scope due to lag? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

lol I love all these Ph.D's in Halocology.

Idiot.

This troll needs to be put down. It's getting out of control.

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

My Ranked Stats vs Crunchy:

As you can see my ranked stats aren't impressive but i've only played 25 games. Crunchy conveniently omitted my social which i play mostly.

Social Stats:

Calculations:

Due to my social being better and his ranked being better i did some calculations.

Sniper kills per game (ranked and social): me = 3.33 crunchy = 2.25
Shotgun kills per game (ranked and social): me = .716 crunchy = 1.2

I will admit to letting Tails have shotgun . I did this to be fair but really Crunchy don't fucking wave your e-peen at me and conveniently ignore other stats. Can I tell you that you haven't mastered sniper now? Seriously stop trolling people.

Yeah, that pretty much does it for that argument.
