- Halo 3, Opinion Exhibition
Wow what a game, hit the jump for the scoop!
THE FIGHT IS FINISHED!
This is me stickin it to the flood! Very awesome to be able to take screenshots and view them on the net!
I’ve played through the campaign and all I can say is that it’s very, very great. In truth, Halo 3 doesn’t do anything trailblazing (in the campaign department), it’s just such a joy to play. This really is a case of third time’s the charm, like it’s this game that is TEH HALOZ. The two previous ones were cool, but everything just feels one step above in this one, the gameplay, story and music… It all comes together really nice and makes for a damn good experience. The only negative was that one mission felt a little too long, but that’s just nitpicking for the sake of it. Also some aspects of the graphics felt a little stale, like generally the graphics aren’t on par with say Gears of War or anything, but it’s a trade-off really, as there’s lots more and bigger stuff going down in Halo than Gears.
That’s it really, I’m gonna go play some online, but for now it’s a perfect ten for Master-Chief. I truly liked this one!

a perfect ten….seems more like a perfect five ;P
I have no further opinion more than my own hatred against the previous games cute graphics, but no3 looks a lot more sweet. I’ll have to swing by you later on today and test it.

couldn’t agree more. they’ve really refined each aspect of the game. for example the flood: I was all like: Awww man not those gay zombie pricks. But man did it ever kick ass to fight the flood!
It will be interesting to see if CoD4 will be the big “halo 3-killer”. The beta was really good looking and addictive to play. But i think it will lack the charm and the je ne sais qua that halo 3 brings!
If i could i would aggregate my five points to the sum ;D

Hot damn! A Five!? Isn’t that the perfect game? Didn’t we agree on that such a game will never exist? Then again, a 4 would translate to 80%, which would indeed be a little too low I suppose. Nevertheless, where in the fuck has your ever-so-keen eye for microscopic flaws gone?
One more thing! I would like you, H and whomever else is passionate about Halo’s story, to explain it to me. Because I feel left behind and retarded not knowing what makes it so great. Please make it a play-by-play of the absolute highlights in chronological order. I really need to understand.
Also, I hope that I will soon be able to afford a copy of TEH HALO(!!!), so that I can join the co-op fun.

I have to agree with MacTwiste, I never understood what made the Halo-story so great. But on the other hand I never finished any of the two prequells to the third installment so that may be the explanation. But a highlight reel would be nice. Any links to a compilation of cut-scenes from the two previous games?

Goosebumps achieved
GIR writes
Thx Honkmeister! I shall enjoy these vids over a tasty alcoholic beverage later this evening!
Barger writes
Aaah second time around with heroic difficulty with henke still a most awesome game! way to bring it deamon, the arbiter approves off your shenanigans !
Henke writes
Yeah I especially love the driving sequences, they’re twice as fun in coop. You just drive around in the Hog, jacking fools. And Barger can’t drive, which makes it even more funny! ;D
Barger writes
And henke can’t shot for shit, so we’re quite the team ;DD

I cry tears of blood for not being able to game with you guys…I’ll have to play WiC with you instead. BTW, sent my legal demand noticifation to “the frakking money stealing not giving you the xbox”-guy a few days ago. Perhaps Ill get my money soon.
Barger writes
i’m holding the thumbs for dawg! btw WiC crashes on my comp, lousy swedes… cant make frakking games, u guys best improve the standards
Henke writes
yeah umm, the WiC beta was a bit too advanced for my comp… Perhaps the retail has been improved, but I’m pretty sure it’s just my pc that’s starting to get on in the years.
dagst writes
hmm…I had no probs when they beta tested and the recomends are fairly low…shouldnt be a problem for you… Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent
RAM: 1024 MB
Video Memory: 256 MB
no patches out?
GIR writes
Yeah, even I could play the beta without getting a brain aneurysm. And the retail is really opted compared to the beta. So give it a go! =)

But well, what can I say? Love the game. Sucks to have silvermembership.
