Halo 3, first thoughts. |
|
Well I think it's pretty good. So far it's been fun, the campaign is a bit boring, but maybe with more people it'll be more fun. All in all so far I like it.

No, I got home from work around 3 and picked it up on my way home. There was plenty left, I don't understand the point of pre-ordering.

Im sure their was some sort of line when you waited. I live in fucking kansas and we ran out of Halo 3 in no time flat at both wal-mart and best buy. So I doubt you just popped in and out and grabbed it without pre-order.
Im not saying your lieing, im just doubting is all.
Anyways, my friend pre-ordered it and has it now. Talking to him right now in fact. I dont know if hes gonna invite me and my other friend sean over any time soon to play. He's a bit wierd in the sense of if he gets something new he and only he can play it until he feels we get the chance . But im fairly sure we will get to this weekend.
In that case, whats your GT? If I see you I WANNA KICK YOUR ASS AND HEAR YOU RAGE!! :p

Uhm... I just walked in my local Best Buy and they had plenty of copies, I grabbed it and there was one fat guy in front of me who had a halo 3. I bought it and went home... I wouldn't really lie about something so stupid?

Lol @ Mega Moose.
I got Halo 3 with no pre-order either.
Gamestop had plenty of copies, and my friend went to Bestbuy and picked up his.

Well at here when I went to wal-mart they said they where out. I was just passing by, im not gonna buy the game (because I cant) but ya ... yesterday our wal-mart sold out of them. And my friends brother seth went to get it and they didnt have any. But I guess their is always bestbuy and other stores selling them.
Anyways. It look great. Except for having to use the LB and RB to pick/reload weapons.

I think you die WAY too fast when your shields are down.
Seems like they tweaked the game to the point where you die fast enough to make it irritating while still making it impossible to kill more than one guy before you die yourself when you get the jump on them..
I wish the survivability was more like that of Halo 2 or more like that of CoD2.

Melee is too strong. You take down about 1/4 shields and you can kill them in one hit sometimes...
There are only 3 good levels... and two of them were on the beta and the other one is remake of Halo 2 map. The rest of the maps suck.
The campaign sucked, almost as much as Halo 2's campaign did.
Brute chopper is pointless, thank god they fixed the mongoose, maulers are good but too many per map, and most of the maps are horrible.

I was at walmart the other day and there was halo 3 all over in the cases, I haven't checked the local game shop but I would say they have it too..I have yet to play it as I am not a huge xbox fan...but I might pick it up some time.

Ive yet to 1 hit someone unless it was behind. The reason the melee was upped is because now you cant bxr. On halo 2 I remember bxring with a smg..

The only good ones are Vahalla, The pit, And Im having a brain fart and cant remember the name of the last one that is good. Its the one with the Canyon theme. Last resort is O.K. Not great.

And Ive gotta agree with you on this.
Oh and DFG, Its worth atleast playing once. In my opinion its alot better. Sniping is much different however. Unlike halo 2 where if you saw them you would instantly sweep to there head for a easy headshot, you have to take your time shooting. I did get a sweeeet no scope on halo 3 though.

Ya x5 and x10.
Also I dunno if you knew but if you zoom in to 10 and hold down the zoom button and slowly let go it rezooms to 5. And you can keep dong that.
