[360] Halo Kitty

It atleast looks like they might bring the assault rifle back.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Uh, guys, wasnt this thread about Halo 3? This isnt gonna boil down to a bunch of fags arguing about how some guy cant keep his online personas straigh.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Indeed. I loved the super dive.

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

It looks like Halo 2 with a facelift at this point. Its not exactly "next gen" as far as Halo standards are concerned.

Can you imagine how many fags would be playing online while wearing said helmet. All they need to do is build in a headset and you would never have to quit pretending to be the chief.

I just got the new EGM, and the game doesnt look too remarkable, but like everyones saying, its not the final product.

Im really not too excited about what they showed. Just alot of extra, useless shit weapons thrown in. The new assault rifle is the only thing that interest me right now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You got a single digit IQ there son? Holy shit.

Im glad im not the only one who thought that statement was "lol" worthy when I read it.

FELIPE NO

Im starting to get hyped up for Halo again.

Did anyone read in Game Informer about a demo being released on Marketplace? They said it would be the only demo you would have to pay for, and its supposed to be a way to keep attention off the new consoles.

Sorry, no scans, but it is in the December 2006 issue (number 164) page 40 under the title "Halo 3 Demo coming soon."

It reads:

After the release of Halo 2, Microsoft was very vocal about releasing something Halo-related at the launch of the rival Sony's Playstation 3. Although we know that Halo 3 isnt ready yet, Game Informer Online has heard that Bungie is readying a Demo for the first half of next year, with an announcement on November 17 to blunt the debut of the PS3. Microsoft wont comment on the rumor, but there also is speculation that this demo will be the first one which Microsoft charges for via Xbox Live.

Another question is how would you use it? Would you just throw it and have a shield pop up where it lands, or would you automatically throw it at your feet deku nut style. Both ways would be useful.

I wanna see his face. Fuck all this "you are the chief" bullshit.

I would love to see some close to finished in game videos. I wanna see what the game will look like with a near finished or finished coat of paint.

I agree about the slower pacing in Halo (It's no Unreal Tournament), but a sprint option with the same feel as the "roadie run" in Gears of War would work great on larger maps. It would help even things out when someones heading off with your flag.

This is a great idea, but Halo is a weird game to tweak when it comes to mobility. You say make the sniper user in Halo slower, but how many times do you actually stand still while sniping in Halo? If anything your point blank dodging and no scoping.

Im not sure how the new weapons and vehicles will change gameplay, and how abundant they will be on the maps, but I hate being the guy out in no mans land without a vehicle, or sniper watching the guy get away with your flag.

This is more noticable with 8 vs 8 games on massive maps. Theres so many people, and so much map to cover, that you find yourself saying fuck it when people get your flag, and head over the hill in the distance.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That would be the way to go if this was a new game, but its Halo, and to do that would completely change the Halo combat formula. Something you dont wanna do when it comes to a game of this magnitude.

Sounding like a fanboy right now, but Im just trying to look at it from the hardcore players point of view.

FELIPE NO

It would also sort of clash plot wise. Master Chief flips tanks like it ain't no thang, so carrying a large weapon shouldnt hinder him at all.

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

All these suggestions would work fine in a game that wasn't Halo. To make these changes would reinvent a game that people are hoping is, for the most part, exactly the same as the last game. If its not broke dont fuck with it mentality going on here.

And like Devo said, you cant dodge in Halo. In multiplayer it comes down to either getting the jump on someone, or out shooting them. So tweaking it to allow for better manueverability (sp?) wouldnt help too much.

Talk to your buddy at Office Depot (everyone has one whether you know it or not) and have him shrink wrap it at the UPS center in store. Take said shrink wrapped game back to Wal-Mart. Since you dont have a receipt they will give you store credit, but atleast you can get another game you like instead of keeping said game.

Stores and participation may very.

Check it out on Youtube. It takes a certain person to appreciate Assy McGee.

I haven't touched the game in the past year or so, but I have a few friends that play it like its brand new. It's just full of pricks and cheaters. I prefer keeping it simple, and playing Gears until H3 comes out.

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

Yes, you can mod like a faggot on the regular xbox, and yes it does happen online. Yes you can ban them, but there will always be some douche bag 7 year old to take his place.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Its a new console, and a new game. I'm giving Bungie a clean slate on this one. Like you said, we will just have to wait and see what happens.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The CG was done by another company, right? Bungie had let another company do that CG commercial as a teaser, I believe. So Im not sure how good the actual game cinemas will be.

FELIPE NO

The only reason I checked out the H3 beta today was because I heard alot of comparisons from friends about it having the same feel as H1. I gotta admit, after a few games I was hooked again. It does feel like they took the best from both of the old games and put them into 1 great game.

I will probably start back playing Halo again.
