I think there are only achievments for a few of the skulls (the gold ones?).

Yes, you only get achievements for gold skulls.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

So I just finished the campaign and I was just wondering, is that it? After the (supposed) final cut-scene, I get a "Thanks for playing Halo 3" message and I press A and I'm right back in the menu. No credits or whatever. Played on Normal, by the way.

I loved the game though, it definitely gave me that epic feel and something was really at stake. Now I gotta go try playing this online since my last two Halo games were played on the PC.

You had to not press anything and just let everything run. There's a scene after the credits.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Went out and bought it because everyone is talking it up. Played about an hour and a half and I'm not impressed. The best word I can give that sums up how I feel about this game is "mediocre".

I haven't tried multiplayer yet, though... Maybe that'll be better.

I'm leaning towards going and trading it in already.

MP is 10000x better than single player.

Yeah man, if you're buying it for the single player experience, don't waste your cash. This game is meant to shine in a multiplayer environment.

Not taking this game online is like having an internet account and not browsing the web.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Halo 3 has single player?

I think it's called Campaign or something like that. It might be different but I remember something with a C.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

How do you od that?

When a dude was trying to board mine I just smashed the left side of it into a canyon killing the guy. I assume to shake them is roll and turbo.

I fixed this for you TJ.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I play the single player campaign mode. Is it great? No, but I don't expect Halo's SP game to be great. Their meat and potatoes is online play.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Being this is the first Halo game i've REALLY played (rented Halo 1 and 2, only played briefly), i'm really enjoying the game. Even the single player campaign. It definitely does have the "epic" feel I always heard about with the first two Halo's.

I suck pretty bad online, but with time i'll get better. Even getting my arse kicked online is fun.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

To be successful at Halo MP, you HAVE to understand a few things:

You MUST know the map. If that requires booting up a custom game and just walking around, then do it. You must know the location of every weapon, and you must know landmarks on each map.


You MUST understand each weapon, and how it is MEANT to be used. I ALWAYS try to have a medium/long range weapon, and a short range weapon.

With an assault rifle, battle rifle, and grenades, you can beat ANYONE, with the exception of that long range sniper.

You forgot the first two tenants to being a Halo player.

1.) There is NO way that killed you. That was such BS. Make sure to tell everyone possible that you believe that was bull****.

2.) All bodies must be tea-bagged. Always. Even in the middle of a fight, you must tea-bag any that have fallen before.

Alot of time the kills make no sense though. I could be standing there shooting someone with a shotgun and they shoot me once and i die. That kind of stuff is annoying.
