Meh, its gonna happen with me. I still play Halo 2 and i <3 it. I just got my 27 in Team Slayer and Team Snipers today (on my new account). I can't wait to see what the 360 has to offer with Halo 3. Plus all of the little kids who just got Xbox probably wont get their 360's so thats good :)
Yeah :hardcore:

lol, i wouldnt count on that, caddy.
personally, im expecting halo3 to just be a very good looking, average FPS with really nice multiplayer features. its not going to blow anything away, especially Halo:CE (the best multiplayer FPS ever!). so im not getting my hopes up at all.

amen. Unless Bungie doesn't act like idiots about keeping the game secret and lets the public see what the game will be like, its probably going to be a mediocre game.

I know that I'll end up buying it even if it's another disappointing sequel. If it's good, I'll be playing like a crazy man...if it's another bad sequel, like Halo 2 was, I'll just spend most of my time here complaining, moaning, and groaning once again :D
I'm with you guys, though...I'm definately not going to let the hype bite me in the ass this time. When it comes out, I'll get it either that day or within a day or two. I'm enjoying GRAW a lot and that game single handidly made me forget about my disappointments with Halo 2. Though, I really would love to have a game like Halo CE again...GRAW isn't quite to that level, but, I'm happy.

I'm not really sure what was so bad with Halo 2? Like seriously, what did you guys expect? I thought the campaign was gripping, although a little repetitive (sort of like Halo CE), and really I thought the only thing lacking was an online co-op.
I wasn't crazy about the way they took control of Xboxlive, I still think Ubisoft did it best with the Rainbow 6 series, but really, I was completely satisfied with Halo 2. I understand that people weren't all that thrilled with the end, but seriously, it's a continuing story, so the end wasn't going to be mind blowing.

I read on the internet somewhere that a new Halo game is coming out this year and it's called Forerunner and that Halo 3 will be out next year. Either way I hope the Master Chief shows his face at E3. I went back to work and asked my manager and he said he'd heard the same thing so I'm pretty excited.

The only thing I was mad about in Halo 2 was the campaign which I think sucked ass compared to the first game, but I honestly think they improved the multiplayer, I can't get enough of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. All I would really want from Halo 3 is for them to have bots maybe like the did with Counter-Strike and also make it more like Halo CE.

Well I never really did play Halo CE much on XBC so I guess I don't have much to say about the multiplayer, but if you start with a BR in Halo 2 I think it can be pretty competitive. All I remember about Halo CE was the pistol and it pissed me off because it made the game unbalanced and the aiming was ****ed up because you had to aim in front of them and stuff. I dunno, you could be right. I play competitive on Halo 2 though, all I really play anymore is MLG, once in a while I'll play with some pros.

i'm not getting too hyped either. i will be looking for it, but it has to be something good. besides i'm not getting a 360 unless halo 3 IS worth it. i'm looking towards PS3. killzone looks mind blowing.
If Halo 3 is more like Halo CE then I'll be picking up a 360 shortly. If it's more like Halo 2 and what not then I'll wait for a price drop then go pick it up along with Oblivion.
Well I never really did play Halo CE much on XBC so I guess I don't have much to say about the multiplayer
Then you probably never really experienced the joy of a 10-16 player LAN game. which is still the best way to spend a saturday.
All I remember about Halo CE was the pistol and it pissed me off because it made the game unbalanced and the aiming was ****ed up because you had to aim in front of them and stuff.
please tell me you are joking... how can a weapon create an imbalance when everybody starts with that same weapon. Its like saying the smg makes Halo2 unbalanced. If you, by any chance, didn't have Pistol starts while playing HaloCE then you didnt play it right.
Also, the aiming was never " ****ed up." when you aim in front of a person, that is what we like to call "leading." this usually takes place when a person is probably across map and running horizontally. BTW, sometimes you have to lead on Halo2 as well when auto-aim happens to be malfunctioning.

This sums up a lot and reiterates what El maxo and Scorpion have been sayin since Halo 2 made noobs competitive..
My disclaimer is that I m just an average Halo player...however, I really had respect for the skilled players in Halo CE...it took more than auto lock, a battle rifle, noob combo, AND A FRICKIN SWORD(the weapon that has singlehandedly ruined Halo 2) to pimp on blood gulch...
Fatbox, I dont understand how a game is outta balance when everyone starts with the same weapon...Actually, it has been a learning journey for me...I had to play halo 2 to see how great Halo CE is...Halo 2 is all about finding the muscle weapons 1st and autoaiming away...Halo CE is all about being skilled enough to plot your attacks...Halo CE also commanded better sportsmanship...You couldnt help but say good frickin shot/snipe because you knew the skill involved in the execution.
I will continue to say that 4 on 4 CTF on Blood Gulch or Sidewinder with all vehicles is the best multiplayer experience EVER.
and I still believe the vehicle physics are better in Halo CE...
It seems as if bungie was more concerned about appealing to all levels of gamers(the scrill) instead of the hardcore HaloCEmasters
I never got bored with Halo CE lan parties...I still have major fun; I m tired of halo 2 on xbl
Yeah, I ll probably buy H3 but I wont be in line at gamestop at midnight...

No, in fact I'm not joking. The pistol made it very unbalanced because then there was no use for any other weapon, you just automatically start out with the best gun which means there was no use for any other weapons to even on the map.

If you have a nice PC why would you waste your cash on a console to play an FPS? There are more, and better FPS's on PC's than there will ever be on all the consoles put together.
Just my opinion, of course, but for me, the reason to own a console is for the console-ish games. Sports games, console RPG's like Final Fantasy, platformers, shooters.
PC's are for FPS's, deep RPG's, simulations (especially driving games), RTS's, and online play.

Well, without going into too much detail, most people that I know that were disappointed with Halo 2 was due to all of the dramatic changes they made. It's kinda like "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but, they still insisted on changing the game anyway. Sure, the Campaign on Halo 2 was fine...I actually don't have many gripes there to be honest, it's the multi-player aspect of the game that really let me down. I don't feel the need to go into specifics, but, again, the disappointments were based off of the changes they made.
I realize that games should improve with the next installment of the same game; however, many of the changes were 2 steps backwards.
I also agree that they should have had a server list like Rainbow Six instead of a Matchmaking mode.

I agree that the pistol is the best overall weapon; however, it's not the best in every situation. Obviously, having a shotgun at close range is far superior, a Rocket Launcher is definately a weapon you want in Halo CE (as opposed to Halo 2 where the Rocket is kinda meh) and the Sniper is another exciting weapon to have as part of your arsenal.
Each map has it's own variances, but, those are the weapons I primarily used. Even the plasma rifle with the stun capabilities would get some use just to rub it in...especially on Chill Out.
Having the best overall weapon at start makes the game more balanced because there is nothing more frusterating than being the last guy to scramble for the best overall weapon (The pistol) and then get killed by someone who already had one. This makes for the obvious reason why MLG started in the first place, I believe. The Battle Rifle is Halo 2's equivalent to the Halo 1's Pistol (well, the closest equivalent, anyway - but far from being as effecient).
I truly believe that Bungie accidentally made the phenominon of what is Halo: Combat Evolved by have a weapon, which is the Pistol, be such a kick ass weapon. Why do I feel this way? Because the starting weapon on Blood Gulch, for example, is supposed to be a Plasma Pistol, which is a useless weapon. Same with Prisoner and a slew of other maps...if not every map (I don't recall exactly because, who in the hell plays with the official starting weapon in Halo CE multi-player?).

Of course, they did, I think they even admitted it.
The problem pre-Halo 2 was people were under the impression that Bungie actually understood the genius of Halo: CE.
But no :confused:

how bout no. bungie.net has a press release saying that it was done with the in game engine. Since when has Bungie taken lessons from Sony? Source (http://bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=Halo3Announcement)
...but we will note that everything you're seeing here is being rendered in real-time on the Xbox 360, using the current version of our Halo 3 game engine. The HDR lighting, self-shadowing, GPU-run particle system and many other effects should make it intact (and more) to our final game.
Who cares if it's an AR? Who ever used that POS anyways?
ok, first off... AR > SMG and secondly, AR may also mean Halo1 Pistol
Who cares if it's an AR? Who ever used that POS anyways?
Well, I liked using the AR for double melees occasionally, but mostly used it for quick camo. The fact that they are bringing back the AR leaves the possabilities open to what direction h3 is going to, and that they are obviously considering h1 aspects as well.

Not every gun in a game should be the same and super pwerful. That is part of the fun in any game. It evens the playing field, and favours players who know where the guns are. Sometimes half the fun is the race to the big gun.

The video was cool. I don't really see why people would think it looked bad.
I hope Bungie shows more of their game up front this time. They should have a lot of information about all of the multiplayer maps before hand (including weapon/powerup placement). Unfortunately, this will probably not happen, but whatever.
Please, turn down the hype. I swear, so many people think that AR automatically means the pistol is back and the game will rock. That thought process is incorrect. Though, I am excitied that the AR is returning. The only problem is many of the advantages of it will most likely not be in H3 (quick camo, fastest double melee). Thanks to everybody that posted pictures of the original AR. I am surprised by how many people never realized the AR had a tip like that. So many people seem to think the end of the gun looks like a BR. Oh well.

Though, I am excitied that the AR is returning. The only problem is many of the advantages of it will most likely not be in H3 (quick camo, fastest double melee). Thanks to everybody that posted pictures of the original AR. I am surprised by how many people never realized the AR had a tip like that. So many people seem to think the end of the gun looks like a BR. Oh well.
The return of the AR only makes my hopes higher, that Halo 3 will be a game that is worth looking into, rather than before, when I wasn't too excited at all. It leaves open room to think that bungie might be going the right way.

Well, I liked using the AR for double melees occasionally, but mostly used it for quick camo. The fact that they are bringing back the AR leaves the possabilities open to what direction h3 is going to, and that they are obviously considering h1 aspects as well.
Get rid of the gay ass sword and I'm sold.:hail:

haha then what is it? you guys gotta be kidding. bungie isnt trying to fool anyone, its a goddamn MA5B in the halo 3 engine. its a new game which means ish doesnt have to look exactly the same as the last games. look at the energy sword...
this AR/BR thing is getting out of hand. its an AR.
THE END
If it turns out to be a different gun whichever it might be I will shove this post up your ass so hard, but on the other hand if I turn out to be wrong then I will buy a dildo and have to shove that up my ass.

LOL i would think most guns have similar tips. what does that have to do with the price of eggs?
Anyway, I creamed my pants watching that. It ownz. When i saw that Assault Rifle, it almost sold me. All it needs now is the pistol... then it will be perfectly leet again.
how bout no. bungie.net has a press release saying that it was done with the in game engine. Since when has Bungie taken lessons from Sony? Source (http://bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=Halo3Announcement)
ok, first off... AR > SMG and secondly, AR may also mean Halo1 Pistol
ok, first off... 2xSMG > AR lol
Ewww.. I like the magnum I don't see whats wrong with it.. they better have both in halo3 so i can use my favourite combo.. (Plasma Rifle + Magnum.. I CALL IT-THE SANDWHICH EATER!!!)
Well if you would have read my edit, I know it isn't the AR, looks like a combo of AR/BR, so yeah, Im sure it is improved.
It wasn't directed towards you.. jeez..
Not every gun in a game should be the same and super pwerful. That is part of the fun in any game. It evens the playing field, and favours players who know where the guns are. Sometimes half the fun is the race to the big gun.
Not SUPER POWERFULL, but improved so I can kill someone without having to be in shotgun range with it.. maybe something like more damage/faster fire/more range.. not HUGE amounts, but enough so I can make the sniper unzoom atleast like I can with the smg..
ok, first off... 2xSMG > AR lol
i would say 2xSMG = AR
i would also like to say 2xSMG = Dual Wielding = n00b = teh ghey

Halo 3 is released
I buy an xBox 360
And Halo 3

You guys are still arguing in this thread about what gun is better.

It's eZ to say something is n00b.. but give proof? sniper is n00b
See...?
You other two nancies shutup! Rawr.

i would agree that in halo2, its pretty noob. if i can clock head shots with relative ease, then you know something is wrong. in HaloCE, im a horrible sniper, but in halo2 im just under average. what does that tell you?

I know I've said this before, but, GRAW brings me back to what I liked about Halo CE in that I don't get angry about getting killed. If I get beat, I get beat...In Halo 2, it felt like I got robbed. And this goes the same way if I'm the victor...if I get a kill in Halo CE (and GRAW), I earned it and/or beat/caught someone...In Halo 2, it's not satisfying because of the magnetic bullets.
Anyway, I don't really want to keep slamming Halo 2 because I think I've done plenty of that for a long time now...and I seriously don't care about it anymore since I've moved on. Right now, I'm loving GRAW and I'm mostly looking forward to Gears of War more than anything else. Sure, I'll buy Halo 3 since I am notorious for not renting games and just buying them instead... I hope Bungie accidentally makes it a kick ass game like they did with Halo 1.
Same here, Maxy. In the good ole days of Halo LAN games with my friends, I usually dominated but there were a few of my friends that could take me including plewis. But I knew that when they killed me, it was out of pure skill and not out of pure luck.
When I get killed in Halo2 via noob combo or sword and sometimes rocket, I just get irritated that I didn't even have a CHANCE of coming out alive. I will admit that some Halo2 players beat me out of skill but its very few. Everytime I see a dual-weilder come at me or a swordsman come at me or a great green blob mass come at me.... I just say, here we go again, I'm gonna get killed cause they got to the power weapon before I did.

Exactly, dude. The cool thing about Halo CE is that if you shoot just to the right of their head, for example, you will miss. In Halo 2, if you shoot a foot away from your opponent's head, you'll still hit him.
Same with the melee...
Ahhhhh...don't get me started :D

what I like about the melee is that it won't work for me. I love just lunging and lunging and getting right in his face(or his BACK) and not even touching him even though I'm inches away. Sometimes I actually DO get to land that hit but oh no...no damage was done. Try again, vman!:bang:

I don't understand why you bash Halo 2 when you play it so much...

I actually don't play Halo 2....I do play Halo CE, though...but lately it's all about GRAW on the 360.
I didn't think I really bashed it all that bad with that post...I could list off a few dozen things that will make even the most beloved Halo 2 fan begin to cry ;)

I meant to quote Nomini's post, he seems like he's bashing Halo 2 though I see him play everyday.

he only bashes it cause it is not as good as Halo. But where else can he find a great Haloesque experience online? XBC doesnt count. Live is just so much better.
