Re: Halo 3 Impressions

No, they really don't. Over-rated cables.

Anyway, back on topic. So you are saying the graphics are better than Bioshock's and Gears of War? Wow, unexpected.

I only played the demo for bio shock only and the graphics were nice but nothing like Halo 3.....Gears of War were excellent...But Halo is the best

Am I the only one who wasn't that impressed with Bioshock's graphics?

If this game's graphics are better than Gears, that's pretty impressive.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Impressions coming shortly... Any questions just ask

Does the game let you have multiple saves per profile? I hated that the previous two Halo games only let you have one game save at a time. I would want to jump back to a previous level because I enjoyed a particular battle or section and I would end up losing my save of the other game. Or my friend would come over and I wanted to start a separate co-op game with him without losing my spot in the single-player campaign.

Hope they fixed this.

I thought Bio Shock had nice graphics but nothing like Gears and Halo 3 graphics to GOW in my opinion

I just wish that I had my new tv back when i was playing GOW then maybe I would change my opinion

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

How are the weapons that were not in the beta? Flame thrower, hammer, Pistol/Shotgun (forgot the name), etc....

Have you messed with Multiplayer yet? Are the boards very cool?

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I would like to know about the customization options for armor, helmets, logos, ect. Like how many for each? Also can you customize it for campaign?

Really? I actually think Bioshock is the best looking 360 game at the moment. I think it looks better than Gears. Granted, Bioshock takes place completely in small, tight locations, which makes it alot easier to make everything else look so good. But man, it looks good!That's why I always expected Halo 3's graphics to not look as impresive, because they are going for large scale battles, tons of enemies on-screen and huge levels, so the graphical quality should suffer.

But according to NJ, it looks damn good.

sarcasm?

Nope, I among many others have tested out $5 HDMI cables and monster's $100+ cables and not seen any difference, but yeah, back on topic...

I wasn't grabbed by the graphics. For instance, the Splicers were blocky and too flat looking. Sometimes the games visual depth seemed flat. I dunno...

Sorry to get off topic though.

I just customized my MC and made him yellow with the skeleton icon on my shoulder... you can be MC or the Orbitor and MC has his normal helmet or a second diff type to choose from.... but there are like 8 unlocable helmets and shoulder armor to choose from once you unlock them

MC in single player is still Green.. the customization is only for multi

and there are no seperate files to save diff campaings... once you start one you must stick with that one.. if you start a new one then it saves over that one....

sucks big time

You would think after 2 games they would figure out this is not the best system to use.

Thanks NJP.

How are the controls? I never played the Beta, are the controls different? I heard the reload button is different.

the reload button is the right bumper.....to switch weapons is the Y button

shooting is the right trigger and left bumper is to throw grenades...


A is to jump and B is to pistol whip

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Anybody else have the game? I kinda want another opinion on the graphics before I get really hyped about that part of the game.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Could you save one file to the console and another to a memory card? Is that possible?

Re: Got my copy of Halo 3 Today
