Re: Halo 3 Impressions

Just noticed it. That was fast. Thanks again.

My pleasure.

After all the information on games you've given to this site (well, to the people on this site who are too lazy to look it up themselves) you deserved some praise.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

That remake looks real cool.

Also you've deserved it Flawless. I don't even go to IGN or Gamespot anymore because I always get the info from you.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I swear the soccer thing is really fun. I made 125% movement speed and 75% gravity. Might have to make goals bigger. We def. got to play with a bunch of OS peeps.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

That is amazing. I can't wait until next week when I'm home for break and can try out all those remakes.

Looks like they have a Chill Out remake also.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I checked out some of the remakes and I was pretty impressed, especially considering the limitations of Forge. While a couple are a little smaller and they aren't completely accurate, they still seem to do a pretty good job of capturing the feel of those maps.

This map looks really awesome and I know some of the Bungie team really likes it. Apparently it's really good for CTF. There's two sides which both are identical to the screens below.

Bungie Weekly Update

We’re playing the next batch of DLC. This first trio has been very well received. Eventually your Halo experience will be so swollen and engorged that you’ll have a hard time even remembering what the original map selection was. In the future, we’ll be bringing you more fully custom built maps and they may include one or more of the following:

• Symmetrical arena maps for competitive play.
• Returning classics demanded by the fans.
• Crazy new stuff you never expected.
• Unusual maps with lots of potential for interesting game types.
• Graphically spectacular settings.
• More Forge objects to use on new maps.
• Surprises.

After one single day, a map came along and made us say, “Wow, that’s cool, charismatic and upends many of our design conventions in an interesting way.” If that’s what we get after one day – what are we going to have a month, three, six months from now? I’ll tell you: Classic user-created maps.

We actually used The Great Wall in our Humpday Challenge on Wednesday and it’s safe to say that everybody loved it. Joe made some minor complaints about weapon placement and Luke would like to tweak a couple of minor items, but the fact is that it played superbly, first time out of the box.

For his efforts, Bryan “Lintendo64” Lin wins himself a sparkling new suit of I CAN HAS RECON armor. Well done, Bryan.

But what Burnie did next is both the dumbest and most awesome thing we’ve seen in months. Grifball. Who better to ask about the most important sport of the 21st century than Burnie himself?

How would you explain Grifball to a new player?

Grifball is an extremely fast paced sport game type that’s played on an open court between two teams of four players. Each team has a goal and each player carries a gravity hammer and an energy sword. In the center of the arena is a single ball that can be picked up by anyone on the field. Each match consists of 5 rounds, with each round ending when someone slams the ball into their opponent’s goal. The team with the most goals wins.

It’s a very simple game by design, but it’s an enormous amount of non-stop action. At any point in time, you are either on defense with your 3 teammates guarding your goal or you are on offense as the ball carrier with three blockers. In a second, the game can turn and you have to be ready to seamlessly change roles.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

This game is frustrating the **** out of me. I am in Cortana - Find Cortana, and I can't find where I have to go. I found the ship out on the cliff, but not too sure where I need to go from there since the Flood just won't stop coming no matter what I do to take them out. Any help would be appreciated.

That level was a pain in the *** because it seems like the flood never stops coming. I just ended up running through the level pretty much avoiding the flood, unless they were right in front of me; then they got a shotgun in the face.

Each of the rooms you're in should have one of the *** doors and you have to keep on following them until the end. I'm pretty sure in the room with the crashed ship you have to run up the stairs and their should be a door up there. I might be wrong though since pretty much every room looked the same in the level and I just rushed through it.

Thanks Sandman. I even used all of the ammo taking out the flood in that level at one point. I started running around to find my way out and then all out attack on me. I'm so frustrated, I'm about to just give up. The flood are the hardest enemies in the game because they come after you, unlike the rest of the enemies where they startegize and flank.

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I havent read through all of the posts in this thread, so forgive me if this has been asked, but when are the new maps gonna be available for ranked matches?

Re: Halo 3 Impressions

I have never been so pissed off in ages playing a videogame. I am on the last stage Halo, the Flood just keep on coming and coming and no way to take them out so I can beat them so Spark can open the door.

Keep moving. Hide in that little gap on the floor and if it gets really bad jump of the ledge and work your way back up.

Make sure to have the shotgun.

Thanks Altimus. Do you remember where that gap is and shoot........I haven't seen the shotgun once going up that damn structure.

I thought Capcom games used to give me a challenge, **** this one is right up there.
