I've been reading around the net about an episode of future weapons to air next Monday night on Discovery Channel. This episode will be based on the weapons of Halo 3. Anyone else see this commercial? It could just be a rumor but I have seen it talked about on multiple sites.

Well, tonight and next week are the only two mondays left before Halo 3 comes out.


I have it marked on my calendar with my own blood.

So does my son. Unfortunately his behavior has made it where he won't be playing Halo 3 on said date and he won't be watching Discovery anytime soon, as he has no console or TV for and undefined period of time. Mom's weaponry is superior! :evil:

Weep mightily for him.

Ouch. That's harsh.


Luckily, I pay for everything, so I can't get grounded no matter how much of an ####### I am! :lmao:


I will kill a Brute in his honor.


Tell him that when he gets off house-arrest.

I have seen the commercials for this a million times. I believe it is next week that this will be airing. The commercials look really really awesome, they switch between in game videos to the real life "replicas" of what is in the game.

Everybody is over looking the orange box though. HL2 is the greatest game ever.

I dunno... Gears of War looks pretty solid. But in the end, I don't think it can beat Halo in the kickass department. Prince of Persia comes close, but Master Chief still edges past the Prince.

Also, they are coming out with a RTS Halo game - Halo Wars - which looks to be very cool. I'm also looking foward to that.


And I have high hopes for Bungie's next endeavor. Their Marathon series was really cool, but Halo beats it by a country mile... maybe the next thing will be even better.

I don't see how - but it's possible.

I haven't played it yet :bawl:

I've been meaning to since it came out, but I haven't gotten to it yet.


I remember spending hours upon hours in my apartment playing Half-Life until I was falling asleep at the desk. I remember the insane rush of ecstatic triumph when I finally beat the giant-headed baby at the end.... before I realized I lived alone, and there was nobody there to share the moment with.

I consoled myself by playing it again from the beginning.

Can you explain this in further detail?
Click to expand...

not really. It is way to much to type out. If you want to try and read up and try to figure it out for yourself this is a good place to start. www.xbox-scene.com

There are ways to get the game early. I have been playing since yesterday. If some one wants to get owned in Halo 3 hit me up.

:faint:



Gimme a little taste... what happens in the first level? Cutscenes, gameplay? What are we looking at?

Nothing beyond the first level though!

The game starts out when they find master chief laying on the ground after he jumped out of the ship. The marines come and find the chief then get him ready to fight. The first map is set in the jungle and your mission is to find the sergeant that has been captured by the Brutes.

I am up to the 5th level so far. There are a bunch of new weapons and vehicles. You can now use the brute hammer. The controlls are a little bit different with the reloading and picking up weapons. You also have deployable objects such as portable shield, trip mine, power drainer.

There is also a heavy weapon class now. With weapons suck as a porable turret, and rocket pod. When you use these weapons you go into a 3rd person view and you walking speed is slowed down a lot.

So what happens with the Forerunner ship? Did the covenant engage it, or did the humans get it, and are now studying it.... No - don't answer... I don't want to know too much yet.

MAN!! I can't wait.


Is the gameplay significantly different? I know that switching weapons and reload buttons are changed, and I think I heard you need to push a button to pick up dropped items such as ammo, instead of just running over them.

How much getting used to a new input system does it take?

I didn't know about the brute hammer. Thats ####ing COOL!!! I've also seen a long chain-gun weapon which looks like it requires 2 hands and makes the view 3rd person - like when you're in a vehicle. I also read about the shields and tripmines, but I never heard of a power drainer... what's that? Does it suck enemies dry or disable their vehicles/weapons or something?


GOD! I can't wait to climb into a warthog or ghost and just SMASH SOME #### UP!!!


One last little question, which isn't a spoiler... is the entire game (at least up to where you are) on or around earth, or do we go to another Halo installation? How much does the flood figure into the game early on?

The power drainer pulls down the shields of whoever you throw it on.
They also have a automatic turret, cloak, flash bang, portable grav lift, and a couple more things like that which can be deployed.

The gameplay is prety similar the controlls have just been tweaked a little bit. I think they are better than the controls in halo 2.

The game does not start on earth. I am up to the 8th level now. The game takes place in a bunch of different places.

The flood is in the game quite a bit but not at the begining. Matchmaking has not been turned on yet so I have only been able to play custom games and campain.
