Halo 3 - X360

I was playing on Live last night at half six, 200,000 people were in the multiplayer lobbies in Halo 3 (not counting those playing singleplayer). When my mate from work came on later, 300,000 were playing. When I finally stopped at 10 oclock, over 400,000 people were playing Halo 3.

So, when are you, Pia, Ronin and vibs gonna make it 400,004? :D

At the very moment I can pull £35+delivery together to buy the game from Amazon (or where ever is cheapest and still reliable for delivery).

I accrue £10 / month for games and I think I can convince myself I've accrued £10 from September... might be a little bit yet but I'm working on it. :)

(This is all so I don't explode my finely balanced budget with buying ten games at once... otherwise that ends up being all too likely :p )

Got to finish SP first Tetsuo :).

Managed to get in 5 hours before fatigue set in yesterday (I'm not as young as I used to be!).

But bloody MEH!

I love Elites, and they look very cool in the Halo 3, I wants to fight them, they're what I like shooting at! Not crudy Brutes, who are boring, and the Brute Shot will always suck when compared to fighting against the Plasma Gun :mad:. Getting killed by grenade launchers is not fun :(.

Anyone else finding it hard to see things, especially in the first few levels? I'm playing on a 32" at 720p (1080i is for phools I tell you!!), and bah! Since I've started wearing my glasses I can sees all the jaggies :(.

... and the Ark isn't as cool looking as a Halo...

... and Cortana/Gravemind flash-ups are annoying...

... and *grumble grumble*...

...

:eek:

I've hardly played much of the singleplayer at the moment, just got used to the controls on it and then cut and run to the multi, but I didn't find it that bad. Like I said, I hardly have any experience of the Halo games so I found it nice and refreshing, a lot more so than most FPSs. I like the way the levels are set out in such a way so that it feels like you're at fault for dieing because you were careless (like, you kill a few baddies, spot a sniper and kill him and then get cocky and run out only to be popped by another sniper) so I'm liking it. I also like killing the brutes :) their grenade launchers only cause real problems if you aren't careful, most of the time a measured couple of snipes to weaken them and then a rush with SMGs is good enough to take them down, but they have a nasty habit of running behind obstacles and then second-guessing you when you try to oust them. I like it! This is only the jungle level as well, I can't wait for the bigger, open-plan vehicle maps (the big ice level with the tank in Halo 2 springs to mind).

Also don't see your problems with the graphix, they look pretty nice on my telly. A little rough round the edges, but it never caused me any probs at all and I'm happy sacrificing a little for nice, smooth gameplay.

More to the point, what are you doing faffing around on singleplayer? If you'd come on and plough through it on co-op you'd probably enjoy it a helluva lot more (I've been saving myself the co-op until you come on, anyhow)!

BLEH!

So, just finished the single player on Heroic... that's 8 hours... stupid short game, if I didn't love Halo so much I'd hate it. In fact! I love Halo a little less now that it's all over :(.

Anyways, after it's finished and the exposition is over, I don't feel smug or like I've achieved something. Not too happy at all :(. But that's just me, everyone else seems to love it, probably a lot better in co-op :).

On a positive note, the Ark got a lot cooler when you find out what it does :D.

Still, bloody meh!

Never should have made the Elites goodies.

*sob*

Anyways, at least now I can give Tetsuo the love he so richly deserves ;)


…and the music is rubbish, it’s too quiet, and… erm… less awesome than before?



*more sob*
