Not really, he's an average player, those videos could have been taken from many hours of gameplay (some of them are also speeded up), most people could make a video like that if they had the time without too much difficulty.

Most people could also choose a better soundtrack without too much difficulty.

[JamminOnMy4String]

I've definitely seen better montages. I should have one coming out later, but I have to get someone to edit it. He was basically playing snipe customs for all of this sniping shots... not much talent.

I'll add you, unless you dont want me to.

[Doctor Night]

So, I just started playing Halo again, Man, I want XBL. Either that, or one of them big battle's you have with all your friends.

Yea too bad you need friends to do that.. hahah.

But Only one of friends have an X-Box, so when we do have Halo battles, me and him, rip everyone else to shreds.

Pretty sweet.

Some of those sniper no scopes? I cannot do them at all.. What sensitivity do you guys use, I use 2, and also do you use a mouse & keyboard. I still havnt bought a adapter thing. =|

If possible, always use a mouse and keyboard, you have a lot more control over things using those to control the game than you do with an Xbox controller.

[Rusty Metal Head]

My friend has a video of him playing..he's a really good sniper but if a group were to go at him at once he'd have a hard time.

Me on the other hand..well Im better at P.C shooters. as Klown said abovemouse and keyboard allows more control. Altough im good on pistol only fights..I keep getting head shots.

[gillygan]

I bought a sex box for halo. But i suck at it :upset:

I know its much easier :) I play alot more cs than halo. I cant play over XBL 'cause every ****ing host on there is usually an american thus i cant own as much ><. BtW, im sick of the damn 10 year olds playing. Morons!

[Benzum]

Wait...you can use a mouse and keyboard for gaming on your Xbox?

Since when? :eek:

[Puma]

This game still owns. And I still own at it.

[Benzum]

I havn't played Halo 2 in ages, last MX'er I played, I beat like 25-2

Since I completed the single player mode, I just lost interest

Yeah, in an ideal world 10 year olds would be banned from the internet.
Wait...you can use a mouse and keyboard for gaming on your Xbox?

I don't think you can get a keyboard and mouse for the Xbox but I could be wrong, I was talking about the PC version of the game. : /

I only ever play it on the Xbox but I know if I was able to use a keyboard and mouse I'd be much better at it.

I played Halo 2 on XBL yesterday for the first time in many months, fun game to come back to after so long.

The thread for all things Halo 3.


If you haven't found out yet, H3 was announced yesterday at E3 and is expected for release in early 2007.

Discuss anything and everything about the third and final game in the Halo trilogy.


Heres the trailer.

Yep, plus it's a little too early to get a good thread going. Not enough information.

[g°®†]

Is there a place where I can download it and play it on my PC? I've been watching Red Vs. Blue and it's got me thinkin' .... damn ... I wanna play Halo.


thanks

[Klown]

BitTorrent.

[Mr. Ron]

BitTorrent.
Yup.



But why would you want to play Halo when there are so many better things out there?

[DJ Ducksauce]

Torrents, but if you're going to want to play online, you'll want your own because they check CD-keys online, and if someone in the same room as you has the same key, you can't play. It sucks. :-\

[semi]

i liked halo 1 a lot. i bought it on holiday for the equivalent of 1GBP.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Halo 1 on the PC is f'ucking terrible. Worst port in the history of games. So buggy and completely un-optimised.

Hopefully they won't botch Halo2 port.

[team_racket]

and to think it was originally pc only.

[g°®†]

okay ... well I have 50 extra bucks ... maybe I'll go buy an Xbox.

[Untitled]

Halo 1 on the PC is f'ucking terrible. Worst port in the history of games. So buggy and completely un-optimised.

Halo 1 pc was pretty much just there for the online internet play i think.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I want an Xbox so I can play halo 2 live. Multiplayer on that game owns.

My friend even said I could use his second account if I got one.

[Kithkin]

Still better than the x-box version.

Mouse and Keyboard ftw

[DJ Ducksauce]

I actually bought a 360 controller for this game for the pc. It's more comfortable for me than the mouse and keyboard since I've been playing Halo 2 with my friends on xbox. Gives me a chance to practice and get better kinda so I can get better than last next time I play.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I want Halo 2 for PC when it comes out. Updated for DX10 shaders and online mod/mapping community. Shame it's Vista only.

[PAJJ]

I got the same after watching rvb i just download the demo, they have a map you can play online, it fullfilled my halo needs, and i didn't have to spend any money :)

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that too, but that's going to end up near $200 with if you have to buy Vista. You think PC would be able to play against Xbox?

[Phalanx]

it's an alright port. No optimisations whatsoever but its worth having a go. Definately whatever you do though, do not buy it!

[Werny]

The PC port was pretty shoddy and plus you can't replicate the feeling you get when you're playing system link on Xbox with buddies. An underrated experience!

If you like Halo 2, and you have iTunes, go to www.podtacular.com and subscribe to their podcast. They talk about everything from tips to jokes, to stories "from the foxhole." If you like Halo 2, you will love this podcast.

Not at all disappointing, what do you except? They had to end it in that way, simply for the huge hype around the next gen console and Halo 3....

Does anyone know if Halo 3 will come out on Xbox at all?

[Untitled]

I very much doubt it.not for lot of months.

[Benzum]

I'll be a little annoyed if I have to buy a 360 just for Halo 3, they should at least make a normal Xbox version....

I'm in no rush to finish it tbh, I'm pretty sick of it :p

[Scoot]

And lose millions of dollars instead of forcing buyers to invest in the 360?

Why, the thought of it!

No way man, this is 360 exclusive. Even MS isn't that stupid.

Yeah, Nintendo is going to lose big bucks because they're making a GCN version of Zelda.

Gamecubes are ****ing sweet man, I tell you

[Scoot]

Gamecube will probably survive the longest. First Xbox will stop, then PS2, then Gamecube.

[Benzum]

PS2 is practiclly useless right now. At least Xbox has a harddrive for music and XBL. I love my Xbox. I need to get one of those adaptors to use a keybaord and mouse on first person shooter games on Xbox, that would be sweet

There is no stopping Microsoft

[Scoot]

PS2 is dirt cheap. You could lose it all and still be able to afford one.

That guy owns at sniping and plasma granading.

[Benzum]

yeah that was really good actually

its always been triple shot bursts zoomed in or not, still the best single weild weapon

[Psyclone]

What I think is absurd is that people keep complaining that they should have the old pistol back. The battle rifle was actually designed to be the realistic equivilant of the Halo 1 pistol.

I agree with Swim, it is the best single-wield weapon in the world (tied with the energy sword).

http://www.gamespot.com/events/x06/story.html?sid=6158816&pid=935835&tag=topslot;action;2&om_act=convert&click=topslot

Earlier this month, Microsoft shut the door on Halogen, a real-time strategy game based on the Halo universe that was produced using a mod of Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. At the time, gamers thought it was just another case of a big corporation keeping the modding community down.

It turns out the company had a good reason for closing the doors on Halogen--the RTS was a little too close to what Microsoft was already working on. Today at the X06 conference in Barcelona, Spain, the company announced that it has employed Ensemble Studios, the RTS gurus that created the Age of Empires franchise, to work on a real-time strategy game based on the Halo universe.

The game, named Halo Wars, will be exclusive to the Xbox 360, but has not yet been given a release date. Microsoft showed a trailer of the game during its press conference just moments ago.


It is so on!

In the opening, a fleet of Warthogs drive across a barren landscape, passing several Scorpion tanks along the way. Over a radio transmission, a space marine says his team is en route to a recon position. The view moves up ahead two marines screaming that they're under attack just before being taken down by plasma rifle fire. One of the corpses is picked up by a Covenant Elite, who is flanked by a dozen or so buddies who appear after uncloaking.

From there, all hell breaks loose as just about every vehicle from the Halo universe--Pelicans, Convenant dropships, Ghosts, Banshees--speed into action. As the battle begins, a Spartan soldier appears with his squad and says, "This is Spartan Group Omega. If they want war, we'll give them war."

[UPDATE] Moments after the conclusion of the conference, the Halo Wars Web site went live. The site has a Frequently Asked Questions section that delivers a few details about the game that weren't revealed at X06.


Concept art from Age of Empires: The Halo Edition.

The game will be set before the original Halo, when the UNSC Marine forces first encountered the Covenant. Gamers will lead the human and Spartan forces of the UNSC's Spirit of Fire as they engange in "all out war" with the Covenant. When asked if the alien forces would be playable, Ensemble would only say "stay tuned." The company also confirmed that the trailer was prerendered, based on concept art, and not running on the game's engine.

Though longtime PC specialists, Ensemble is building the game from the ground up for the Xbox 360, and promises the controls won't meet the dismal fate of other console RTSes.

"...We didn't have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game," reads the site. "We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest."

Over at the Bungie.net site, the Halo maker says that the game is "awesome" and already playable. The developer also reports that an HD version of the Halo Wars trailer will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace soon.

"Ensemble is applying their skills to deliver a great Halo experience in a whole new genre, which is ironically where Halo began in the first place," reads the post. "If you've seen some of the very early Halo videos out there, you might recall that before it ever became an FPS, it was in fact designed as an RTS (building off of Bungie's experience with the Myth franchise)."

[Klown]

I predict it will fail.

[anal gravy]

I predict it will fail.

123

[Kif]

Since it's by Microsoft, this will just appear as a way to keep the Halo brand going after Halo 3. If they had waited for Halogen to see how well it could do, it would be much better on their part.

[anal gravy]

and why the **** is there nothing for pc

[Kif]

It'll be out when the next OS by Microsoft will be.

[anal gravy]

So this bulletin was just about the Halo RTS? I only skimmed through it and saw XBOX 360

[burning star IV]

http://www.halowars.com/


There's the official site. Also there's a trailer up on the XBox 360 marketplace.

[Mr. Ron]

Ugh. Halo blows.

[Matt?]

wait so does this mean they are releasing halo 3 (a fps) and a rts?

or is halo 3 the rts.


if the latter is true. noooooooooooooooooooo

[Zakath]

"frankie" on bungie.net pisses me off and strikes me as a pretentious asshole

[POINTLESS5448]

matt: they are releaseing halo 3 and then halo wars. 2 differnt games.
personally im a big rts fan but i dont know if this is going to work. theyre going to need to invent some new vehicles and buildings and such for it.

[DJ Ducksauce]

The trailer looked freakin' sweet in the words of Peter Griffin the Great.

[Benzum]

I think this could be amazing

[Erik6387]

If you want to look at whoring out series, look no further than Final Fantasy. It's one of my favorite series of all time, but I'm not digging all these side stories for handheld and CELL PHONES!!! Not a big fan of the crappy console side stories either...Like Dirge Of Cerberus.

[Jon]

The screens look a bit fit, but it looks like its just going to be dawn of war with spartans.

[Klown]

I think this could be amazing

You think wrong sorry.

[MattyBlade]

I like RTS so I'm going to be optimistic and say it'll be great.

[Benzum]

You think wrong sorry.

No you think wrong, actually
this isn't a bad idea for a game at all

[Amit]

wait what kalmah

this is terrible

[Benzum]

well ok, each to their own eh
i'd definatly play it for a while

[Amit]

just goes to show how market domination give companies free rein in putting out whatever substandard products they want

ipod is another example of this hmph

[Benzum]

do you have a problem with me thinking this game could potentially be a good laugh? have you played it?

lighten up

apple is recognised all over the world, and i like their products :p

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I love the idea of an RTS Halo made by Ensemble Studios, but in terms of mass appeal I dont think it will do that well. A majority of FPS fans arent really into RTSs. I know many kids who just play Halo because its makes them feel cool, most dont care about games in general, just Halo. Translating the game to an RTS doesnt seem like it would capture the same audience.

I'm loving the idea because ES knows RTSs, but many wont see it that way or at least the ones that play Halo solely.

[Amit]

apple is recognised all over the world, and i like their products :p

Or the link is there.

I would buy this game, if it was for PC. I realy think stratergy games should stay away from consoles, they just work no where near was well for them as pc.

I might buy it anyway, ill have to see.

Does anyone else think Halo is the most overrated video game on the market today?

[POINTLESS5448]

hell no!
also, i think they should have dont it after and not before the fps halos. then they could do more with it i think.

[Klown]

Does anyone else think Halo is the most overrated video game on the market today?

Yes.

It's terrible when compared to the other FPS games out there, compare Halo 2 to HL2? Having said that I believe there's a shitty watered down version of HL2 for the Xbox, with terrible console controls.

It annoys me when I hear Xbox fanboys going on about Halo like it's the best FPS ever created.

[Jon]

Halo 1 was fantastic.

In multiplayer mode anyway, the campaign was always a bit dull.

So nostalgic about the MP Halo parties we used to have :(

[unknownsoldier12]

Yes.

if best = most popular, then i would agree with them. I never totally understood the appeal of the game. Its decent, but not even close...

It's terrible when compared to the other FPS games out there, compare Halo 2 to HL2? It annoys me when I hear Xbox fanboys going on about Halo like it's the best FPS ever created.

HL2 and Halo 2 are two different games. Yes... they may both be FPS, but in terms of gameplay and what they offer, they are different.

Halo is not terrible when compared to other FPS games. In fact, I feel it holds it own. I enjoy playing Halo just as much as playing HL. I'm not the only one. More than a half-billion games of Halo 2 have been played on Xbox Live since its debut with over 7.4 million units of Halo 2 sold worldwide. You can't argue with facts. It’s a popular game.

I’m not an Xbox fanboy, I appreciate all games and platforms, but Halo is a great game. You base your argument that Xbox fanboys are the ones "going on" about how great the game is thus, the reason for Halos popularity. Let’s see what happens when H2Vista is released. Won't be Xbox fanboys logging hours and hours online then!

EDIT: Also forgot to mention about console controls. Please don't go on about how they are useless. A control pad is a much more intuitive device than a keyboard. I’m not saying they are better, because it comes down to preference. But what I am saying is that someone who has never played a game before could pick up a controller and instantly work out how to control the character. It’s a proven fact. There have been studies that show a controller layout is more intuitive. If the same person then went to a keyboard and mouse, he would have a hard time playing the game.

Off topic! Untitled, I like your avatar. I just found out that the Stig lives opposite my best friend! He was in the local paper giving his best for RH, and I saw a picture of him.

[DrDeath420]

anyone want to play halo?

[Zakath]

Every once in a while I pop it back in and go on XBL, but after 5 minutes I realize why I stopped playing (crappy matchmaking types, 12 year old newbs) and it's even worse now because I'm so bad I get owned by the 12 year old newbs.. argh

[raab]

You guys heard of halo wars? Peter jackson game for console. Cant wait for it.

Taken from the Steamforums.....Sucks the maps are only for Xbox 360 only.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Probably would have been easier to link to one of the million articles about it, but whatever.

The updated content will just be stuff from Halo 2 Vista being ported over. Definitely get them a few more X360 sales.

This should probably just be merged with the Halo 2 thread.

[NJSpeedbeast]

Fixed the link, but yeah, you can merge it if you want. Figured more people would see it here.

[fghtffyrdmns]

I hate how more and more things are becoming X360 exclusive, and they're starting to cut the original Xbox owners out of the loop.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

$$$ - Makes the world go round.

[Zakath]

Didn't even Microsoft come out and say they are basically abandoning the XBOX?

[Kurrpt]

after getting Gears, I've realized how terrible Halo actually is. I mean, I knew it was completely overrated, and that it's main appeal was it's popularity, but Gears has definitely shown me the light. Im kinda glad that I got rid of my Halo 2 CE copy a few months ago

[Kif]

Didn't even Microsoft come out and say they are basically abandoning the XBOX?
You can't blame them. The 360 has been out for a year now (Doesn't seem like that though). Sony didn't exactly support the PS when the PS2 was released, even if it did have backwards compatability.

[Zakath]

You can't blame them.

Yea I don't either, I'm just saying to the threadstarter that you shouldn't be so surprised about something they've already said..

[Let's Chop Cats!]

No matter how faithful to the community a business is, its still a business. Just look at Nintendo, they moved TP to the Wii and delayed it for GC and delayed the GC release in general. And I would consider Nintendo to be the most kind to the community out of all 3 console makers.

Here's the first commericial for Halo 3. I've gotta say, it looks better than the preview trailer from XBLM. It's Flash, but there's links to both regular and HD downloads on the site.

EDIT: Yeah, get the HD version, it's so much more badass.

[Jawaharal]

Saw the commercial on the monday night football game. Don't know what to think.

[Kurrpt]

it seemed like all FMV footage, instead of in-game footage. I hate when they do that

[Kif]

Of course it's going to be an FMV, the game isn't coming out that soon. It's just a teaser.

I liked it, the bit where he throws down the grenade-type thing and it disrupts the bomb was awesome.

[Kurrpt]

yea, but when they do that, you know the finished product won't look like that in-game.

[Kif]

I know, but they have to promote the game somehow.

Besides we all know Halo 3 will look awesome anyway

[Zakath]

Sweet commercial, I don't understand why anyone would expect anything but FMV at this point.

[Skyler]

The screenshots for this game looks like Halo 2 with higher resolution textures.

[AtomShip]

Anyone else see this new trailer that debuted on ESPN? Go to xbox.com and search halo 3 then just scroll down to watch it:

Also does anyone feel like completely awestruck by the graphics?! God that trailer made me happy and ever so anxious.

[Kif]

1. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=501548
2. Yeah, that trailer made me quite anxious for this game even if I wasn't that into 1 and 2.

[Zakath]

Um, the trailer has absolutely no "graphics" from either cut-scenes or in-game footage from H3..

[AtomShip]

I'm 90% sure that the engine used in their trailers was also the ingame engine as well... correct me if I'm wrong.

[funluvinhobo]

the trailer looks cool, i like that little shield grenade he used

That "Starry Night" video is now in the top 8 most amazing things I've ever seen.

[Otisbum]

I'm more excited about Halo Wars than Halo 3. Of course I'll still go spill $120 to get both.

Anyone obsessed enough to buy the $100 version of Halo 3 to get the helmet and DVDs?

[coom]

I'm 90% sure that the engine used in their trailers was also the ingame engine as well... correct me if I'm wrong.

In the first trailer with the huge forerunner structure it was the ingame engine, but in the second trailer it were in the beginning real actors and after that it was made by a CG company or something from Hollywood.

[Phatstrat]

Somebody give me an answer. When on a system link playing halo 2, does each xbox on the system link need a copy of the multiplayer pack to play the new levels?

[form]

xbox thread or die

[Zakath]

of course all the xboxs need the map pack, what would make you think otherwise

[Phatstrat]

well thanks, I thought that the party leader would be the only one that needed it. I though everyone else loaded the map from him. That really sucks.

[JRB]

Anyone Play?

[CrossTheBreeze]

If people still play zombies on this then I might go back and play some.

[JRB]

haha. i dont much play custom games. other than MLG, so i wouldnt know.
do you have an account, or gamer tag?

[RetiredAt21]

This game is so insanely over-rated.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

There is a huge thread around here somewhere.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Bump for the faggot who can't follow rules.

On topic, I think H2 will be getting the cosmetic upgrades from the Vista version via XBL download on 360s.

[Foreskin Fondler]

whoa, reiner is vicious mang.

anyway, does anybody still play zombies on this?

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Kid has the audacity to call me out on something like that, can't believe this world.

[Mr. Pickle]

I really like that "Game Fuel," stuff. I think it tastes like liquid gummy bears.

[British Kid]

haha, ok.

i like the game fuel too. luckily, all that nonsense will be done with within a month or two.

i just wanna play the damn game.

[VomitStainedCretin]

"When the flood attacks..." :lol:

[Interstate]

Nice!

[Gnarmageddon]

Going to be amazing.

[Aficionado]

I can't believe its so close to coming out.

[DesolationRow]

Lawl @ flood attacks.

[SgtBaker]

Sorry for off-topic, but Desolation, meat puppets rule. You are the first person here that I have seen that likes them. I tip my hat.

[DesolationRow]

Thank you, Baker. Who thinks the elephant and brute chopper look like secks?

[Weezer]

Has anyone played campaign yet?

[naut]

"game fuel." wow.

yeah you really need to replenish all those calories you're using while sitting on your ***.

[bradc1988]

It must be a barrel of laughs in Texas.

[bradc1988]

Hey look a giant Halo thread,

[naut]

It must be a barrel of laughs in Texas.

i would think it'd be amusing to anyone who isn't so lethargic as to require sustenance to aid them while doing relatively nothing.

[bradc1988]

I would think of a response but I'm too malnourished from playing Halo all day, if only I had some Game Fuel.

Oh yeah, when I was at the store this monring, a 14 year old kid threw a temper tantrum because his mother wouldn't buy him the legendary edition of the game, which cost $200.

What a brat.

[Cocaine]

but you get a SPARTAN HELMET!!!1

[FakePlasticTrees]

You know, when I saw him throw that tantrum, I was tempted to go and buy that L.E. copy of Halo. You know, just to **** block him further. :*)**

[Cocaine]

I'm pretty satisfied with this so far.

[Mr. Ron]

I stood in line with my freind last night for 4 hours to get it with him. I don't see the big deal.

[jrowa001]

my girlfriend's brother is getting this today or as soon as he can. ive never been a fan of the halo series but im sure ill give this a shot when im at her house

[Lunarfall]

Lol at all the Halo fanboys at school today.

"Lolz, best game evar!!!!!111"

"Omg, not doing my homework tonight so I can play halo 3!!111!1"

Halo is a decent series, but I hate the goddamn fangirls who go crazy over it.

[SgtBaker]

How hard will it be to find this game this weekend?

[RetiredAt21]

How hard will it be to find this game this weekend?

The place I went to looked like it had 987234985723096745 copies of it.

[One Groovin Clown]

I got the last copy at the store I went to.

Totally depends i guess.

[Mr. Ron]

My freind said that he heard that Microsoft expected 105 million copies sold last night. That sounds a bit off, I'm wondering if someone knows?

[Weezer]

I watched a little of the G4 release thing last night and they made it sound like you shouldn't have much trouble finding it in stores. I'm going to try and get one this weekend, too.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Um considering the best selling video game of all time has only sold 20 million copies I'd say its a bit off.

[Mr. Ron]

hahaha yeah, I might have misheard him then.

[Zakath]

hahaha yeah, I might have misheard him then.

yeah you might be a moron

[Lunarfall]

Microsoft does like to exaggerate things though.
