I hope you'll stick to those words...

DE QUOT'D.

And yes, I am aware that I quite CLEARLY commented on the image prior to my false (but believable) outburst.

This seems like the best review out. No spoilers.

Leto 09-23-2007 02:51 PM

Well as we have a no spoiler policy and it was labelled with spoiler tags I removed it... :)

Yes I am being evil, but the post was pointless and I've been drinking

Mac Sirloin 09-23-2007 05:34 PM

*snip*

Thats not funny at all.

Leto 09-24-2007 12:28 AM

Ahaha, ha... Hahaha... Wonder what happened to the powerpack, ahahaha.... ha... news.

Mac Sirloin 09-24-2007 04:02 AM

I don't see how thats relevant.


But it was funny, so it doesn't matter.

Leto 09-24-2007 02:26 PM

You got it already?

Argos or Tesco?

In all honesty, I'm surprised the plot isn't on Wikipedia yet, after all this.

By the way, could you PM me some stuff when you've completed it? :P

EDIT: Scratch that, it's there now, if you guys want it.

Mac Sirloin 09-25-2007 11:18 AM

TO THE SPOILER THEATRE!

Hobo 09-25-2007 12:51 PM

I read it. It didn't seem too hot to me. But I think Halo is pap.

I have no idea what either of those are. The second one sounds like a dishwashing detergent.

Havent played it that much so far, but I've had most of my fun in the forge. The campaign in epiiiiiiiiic, and thats even within the first three levels I've completed (...on easy). It's like an exploded version of Halo 2 plus superpretty lighting.

Only SPOILER I have so far is that Cortana is an annoying bitch.

It has all the fun of a dishwashing detergent I assure you.

Okay, as far as I know, Halo1 was awesome because it's just that awesome, halo2 is cool because of better AI (you can sneak up behind an alien and kill it with one smack, but if he knows you're there it'll take more to kill them), but the storyline sucked.

Halo3 is mostly dead to me now, because it's mass advertized. I hate overly advertized things. That's why I gave up on pokemon when I was 10. I pronounce it wrong just to spite the people who still like it.

The only thing I'll probably like about halo3 if the storyline sucks again, is the online multiplayer. That's the only way me and my family communicate. teamkilling because mom said to clean my room? I'm in.

All I think halo2 is good for nowadays is online multiplayer, and kickass parodies. You guys wouldn't mind if I posted them from time to time, would you?

The only things in terms of media that I hold value in, are these:

I used to have a video of the halo theme in concert, but the user got suspended. That vid brought me to tears.

[quote]Halo3 is mostly dead to me now, because it's mass advertized. I hate overly advertized things. [quote]

Close to what I thought, and I didn't really expect much from it at all.

So if you go in with that viewpoint, you'll probably be surprised.

Seargentbig 09-26-2007 02:42 AM

I've been avoiding this thread since the spoiler warnings, but I got the game yesterday. And finished it yesterday too, on heroic. It was good. Is the no-spoiler thing still happening in this thread?

Fuzzle King 09-26-2007 09:31 AM

i got halo today and would just like to say what an amazing game it is!

Xavier 09-26-2007 09:54 AM

Just finished, played 6 hours in a row...

Fuzzle King 09-26-2007 10:01 AM

Then you didn't play it on Heroic?

Seriously? On easy? You need to step up to Heroic. They were right, this IS the way it should be played.

Mac Sirloin 09-26-2007 12:31 PM

True, every Reviere I've seen says that Halo 3 is for both the Noobs to the series and the elders.

So, Normal and easy are the easiest Normal and easy modes in the series, while Heroic and Legendary offer the most challenge.

the forge is going to be several of my weekends spent.

Havoc 09-26-2007 12:36 PM

I ordered Halo 3 today, should get it tommorow. Did I miss a very big chunk of story if I didn't play Halo 2? I read up on wikipedia but I dunno... I guess it will become clear during playing.

And I swear to god if this game ends with a movie thats shorter then a minute I am SO going to laugh my ass off you're not gonna believe.

Please, would make my life easier. It will probably be instated for a month or so. Then it's game for all. But this is my speculation on what'll happen not official policy.

Havoc 09-26-2007 12:45 PM

Isn't this still working too?

The ending movie is about 5 mins...not including after credits etc.

Reading up on Wikipedia should be enough, and there's a gap between 2 and 3, bridged by s graphic comic (the plot of that should also be on Wikipedia).

Ah thats how I like to see it. Not the 30 second ending movies you get for BioShock... I hate it when they do that... >_>

scrab queen 09-26-2007 06:21 PM

Gawd. I wish I didn't have to wait till christmas to get stuff. YOU SUCK VERIZON YOU CHEAPASS! GIMMIE MY MONEEEEEY! I really don't care about spoilers or anything, it just makes me want to buy it more. Like that awesome spacepirate vid metroidmetal did forMP3:C.
This is pretty much what happened when I saw the halo trailers with my dad.

Frack. I have it, but will soon bugger off to university without having completed it. Balls.

Hopefully I can scrounge enough to play there, but no doubt my housemates will have surgically attached the console to their frontal lobes for more absolute hogging.

Still, I love the player customisation. I checked HaloWiki for some others awaiting acquirement, and some of those are awesome. Including that classic Mark V armour from CE, and a spiky samurai one not dissimilar from the Elite's Combat armour. Fortunately, my favourite is the CQB helm.
