Halo 3 Impressions

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I just want to know is why are the online achievements locked into free for all matches?

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Didn't work for me at all either. I think I was right about it the first time. Its just a "look what I can make" program.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Well, knocked out two more achievements (stick 5 people and get a triple kill). I have no idea how I'm going to get the Overkill or 10 kills achievment. Mongoose Mowdown is still being a bitch since I finally hit someone dead on and it did nothing.

I know most of you here on OS don't care about the Halo SP or its story but here is a great topic over at Gamefaqs: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...topic=38488521

It covers the terminals hidden in Halo (which you get an achievment for finding) and the background they provide about the forerunners and the flood.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

The only thing I was looking for was the Hayabusa armor. I really don't want to even try for anything else. That last skull, I messed up the process four times. TALK ABOUT TIME CONSUMING!!!!

that hoop jumping pissed me off. I found the short code, tried it a dozen times, didn't work. first time I tried the full code, with like 1000 hoop jumps, it worked instantly.

Luck.

10 kills isn't that bad. I got mine on Construct. Best combination is sword and battle rifle and just keep moving around on the top floor and pay attention to your radar.

When I got to #7 I kind of started camping... kind of.

If you get the sword 10 kills is easy as hell.

Or the shotgun. Nothing like having camo and a shotgun and running up on someone and scaring the hell out of them.

That stick is probably the greatest I have ever seen.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I got my overkill in an achievement game. The guys in the lobby all agreed to let each other have overkills before we started. I know that's kinda lame, but getting overkill is so hard when there's only four other players in a game, they're never all in the same place.

I think it's a little stupid that bungie made most of the online achievements in lone wolf matches. I've gotten a couple two-for-one kills with the spartan laser but they weren't in the right mode so it didn't count.

Some guys asked if I wanted to do that I just said no and started killing everyone. I mean what is the point of doing that, just seems to take away the point of the achievements. Everyone's diffrent though.

I got an overkill in a legit social game this weekend, it was with a combonation of sword and flag..go figure.

That is my biggest problem with the achievements... if you limit it to ranked, fine. But allow it for all ranked modes.

Matchmaking Playlist Update 1

Halo 3's Matchmaking Playlists, just like Halo 2's, are dynamic and ever-changing entities. Even now in the perilous Bungie towers, we're looking at new hoppers, gametypes and modes to test for future iterations and changes of these playlists. Multiplayer Lead Tyson Green and test wunderkind David Gasca sent the following list of changes to us -- and these changes are live now:

• Big Team Battle matches are now 16-player affairs.
• In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
• Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.
• In one-sided VIP matches, the attacking team will now see a waypoint for the VIP they are hunting.
• In Lone Wolves, Slayer gametypes will appear more frequently.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

And that's why Bungie is the best in the biz when it comes to multiplayer. Constantly updating their stuff

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Nice that Big Team Battle is 16 players now, very cool stuff.
