pol?

since Pol touched a boob, didn't he become some kind of Don Juan that was too good for OS?

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Picked the game up at Noon and Finished the Fight a little while ago by myself on Heroic. It took me like 9 hours. The campaign is a fan service from start to finish and it's my favorite of the series. Make sure to watch the credits through, because there is something you don't want to miss after them.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I'm really disappointed with the multiplayer maps. There's only 2 or 3 that are suitable for groups larger than 12. Any other map, and it's just too congested.

Played about a level and a half (i think ) on heroic earlier. Um its AWESOME. graphics are top notch. i want to look around but the pace is so fast i dont get the chance. Tons of fun. Really challenging by myself.

Great games this afternoon fellas. I had a blast, and I can't wait to play again.

Finally finished up the campaign on Legendary. I really enjoyed the it, mostly because of the co-op aspect. Its just so much more fun playing it with a couple of buddies.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I have a question regarding co-op. I was reading on bungie.net that there are 2 scoring options, free-for-all and team based. If you play team based scoring, do you still get an individual score for the achievements? Or is the only way to do this is to play "free-for-all"?

Maybe they were thinking for longevity, down the road, those maps will be perfect for 4 on 4 or 5 on 5.

Right now anything you jump in to will be a full 8 on 8.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Love the game, still can't fully understand the "matchmaking" aspect. Basic Training is something you graduate from??
Another question-has anyone tried the "Forge" mode, where you customize a map. No way this can be done alone or do your friends have to be involved?

Then the Basic Training level must be 4 on 4, because that's all I'm getting.

You mean the achievement? You play 10 games online, and then you "graduate". That's all it is.

How are you playing? Are you playing custom games (which will be up to 16 people), the rumble pit, which your party can be up to 12, or ranked, where your party is up to 4.

I felt this way last night while I was hosting. I was trying to select a map but there was 12-14 people in the room. Not to mention I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the way things work.

I know many don't like that sand dune map because many people select it (the name slips my mind), but it's a bunch of fun for me. I enjoy the openness of the map where vehicles are ever present. One thing I think would help is the use of Forge. I haven't messed with that, but if you can add/subtract vehicles, that would be fun.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Great job hosting last night dQbell. I like the sand dune map, too. There is that valley in the middle where it seemed everybody congretated and it became a killing field. I had a lot of fun on that map.

Good Question EG-I'm not sure-it's a little different interface than Halo 2. Might be ranked matches. Your response will help be navigate the menu a little better.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I've never really played a Halo game before this, but I picked up Halo 3 last night and co-op'd the first few missions in campaign mode with my roommate. It was a blast! This is what a next-gen game should be: amazing visuals, great gameplay, and outstanding audio (wish I had surround sound). The Theatre mode is just unbelivable—I think I spent half an hour just watching the missions we had just completed.

Haven't jumped into a match on Live yet, but I can't wait to get into some games with the guys here.
