Halo

[McJobless]

They all took me about 6-8hrs per campaign, but I tell ya, It's no-where near easy.

[Joe9412]

I know i have heard storys

[McJobless]

What storyline?

Epic Fail.

All I've gathered from the first (since that's the only one I've played in entirety) is that the Covvies are trying to activate the Halo system or something and some random space marine has to kill everything in order to stop them so he gets a map and boards a space elevator BUT SUDDENLY OMG ZOMBIES TOTALLY ORIGINAL and then this guilty Lamentations 3:43 dude starts calling himself a genius and compensating with his Sentinels' big lasers and then OMG FOREFUNNERS, GIMME THE INDEX, no u, and then you find a hungry Grunt and then Halo asplodes.

See, that's because you didn't pay enough attention to it, because you kept focusing on the bad guys. IF you understodd how complex contempry games story-lines are, you wouldn't be saying that.

Then in the next game fall damage mysteriously disappears

That's because:

1) New suit meaning less damage

2) Bungie was protested by players to remove it

3) Your an idiot, because it still appears at some drops

4) You die if you jump off a long distance

and Chief has no health, also Arbiter.

That's because the player protested against this as well. Plus, the shield system works a lot better.

Also Earth, wtf. I thought this was supposed to take place on alien worlds why are we back home oh wait INVASIONS of course.

You didn't listen to the storyline, so you don't get a gold star. Or an explanation.

In the third game (I've played a few campaign missions) you fall three kilometers and somehow don't die from the immense G forces that one experiences when falling from low Earth orbit,

Oh dear lord he still hasn't go the whole "new armor" premise. Back to the Slaughter-house Cirevam...

a dude waves in your face for calibration which has nothing to do with the fact that your legs should be where your lungs are.

Your still here? Oh, well that's a retarted point by a guy who plays no FPS games. It's called "Perspective". Now beat it.

Oh, and you kill this gigantic purple spidery thing by shooting weak spots under its legs for massive damage and then jumping on it and doing some crap.

When you said "shooting legs" I saw "I DIDNT LISTEN TO THE F&^%ING BLACK GUY SO NOW IM STUCK BECAUSE I HATE EXTREME AND IT'S STUPID GAMES FTW". Seriously, shooting the legs triggers the whole Scarab to "auto-repair", thus giving you a chance to get on the back and destroy the damn thing. LISTEN FOOL!

The only fun I have with Halo is crapping around in Forge with my brothers, and half the time we're not even shooting each other. Other times someone takes a Banshee or Hornet (whatever the hovercopter is) and then everyone teams up on him because he's killing us all.

That's the premise of Halo 3, and thus quit complaining and retry the whole thing now I've fixed your brain-pan up.

[Acmex]

Even with this "new armour" falling three Klicks will kill ANYTHING.

If I stuck you in a HAL-5 suit and threw you out a plane at 3 Klicks, do you really think you'd survive?

And dropping health? Seriously?

^^

Would be what happens when you listen to 7 year olds and their parents.

Fall damage, to a certain extent, I could believe disappeared. But the G-Forces along would kill you long before you hit the ground in a fall from 3 Kilcks.

So basically, because seven-year-olds and their mommies complained, the game was "toned down" LLLLAAAAAAAMMMMEEE. I'll take falling damage and health any day. Mostly because I'm CAREFUL.

[Cirevam]

ITT: Fanboys don't understand satire. By the way, calling me an idiot and saying my points are "retarted" just makes you look like a foolish fool from a land of foolish fools who foolishly tries to make me look like a fool. Also, I can't tell if "retarted" is a censor bypass or just another misspelling, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now. Next time you won't get off so easily. We don't need that language around here.

You see, old school gamers like Acmex have sense. They know what's appropriate for certain situations. Fall damage being removed in Halo 2 except for scripted sequences and kill zones... well, I think it wasn't a terrible decision. GE/PD didn't have fall damage either but there were hardly any places where you could fall off ledges in GE and there are only a few places in PD where the no-fall-damage got to ridiculous levels, like the Lucerne Tower Drop or some places in Area 51, but those two are discovered through glitches. Deus Ex had fall damage too but you could get an augmentation that basically let you fall three or four stories without dying, but your legs would fall off or just be extremely damaged. Then you could turn on the Regeneration aug if you had it and your legs would grow back, but it could take a while if you didn't put any upgrades into it, and it comes a bit late in the game, and if you're out of bioelectric cells you have to crawl to a medbot with your ARMS. There's also the Half Life series where you can literally fall into a puddle and take no damage, but otherwise the fall damage is pretty realistic.

So I play no FPS games, huh? I just named four right there. Halo and Call of Duty aren't the only FPS games out there. Learn to expand your so-called "perspective." Play some RTS games or, if you're so obsessed with first-person, play a racing or dogfighting game. If you are so bloodthirsty that you MUST play a game that involves physical harm to others, try Flatout since you can ram people out of their cars and then run over their bodies with your car. If you are so used to cliches that you MUST play a game that involves aliens, try the Freespace series. It has first person, shooting, and aliens. Oh, and you're an anonymous pilot, so you're pretty much Master Chief in a spaceship. If you want to combine RTS, FPS, driving, dogfighting, and aliens, try Urban Assault. You're not anonymous, but you have to save the Earth from the Mykonians who are leeching heat from the Earth's core, causing it to cool and weakening the magnetosphere, leading to radiation and climate imbalances that threaten all life.

Oh, and I wasn't paying attention to what the NPCs were saying in Halo 3 because I was playing with one of my brothers who was telling me what I should do. Playing with people in real life is way more fun than playing with faceless goons over the internet that spout racist remarks and other expletives every time you shoot them.

This statement is win. No other way to say it.

[s0d3rb3rg]

Yeah I'm a fan of Halo too, I've played Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo3 ODST and Halo Reach Beta (can't wait 'til the real game will be released!) but i think that the game with best online gameplay is Halo 3 and Halo CE has the best campaign gameplay. Halo 2 has a pretty good campaign too but I haven't beat it yet, due to the game disc is scratched, it won't load the Gravemind level... The books are also good :af:

[s0d3rb3rg]

ftgsarge and extreme

and me

[theextractor]

i've played all the campaigns and they're alright. multiplayer is where it's at though.

i don't give a crap about realism, or the story. the multiplayer is balanced and competitive so it's all good.

i really only play the game with friends anyway. also, who doesn't enjoy and enthusiastic "D**mit!" after beasting up on some noob. haha

[Zephyria]

Ohhh, I Love Flatout. All i played Was the PSP game, but it Was FUN.

[DrDeath]

i suggest god of war 3 you get to gut people and rip off the heads of the gods of Olympus heads and other fun stuff

This has nothing to do with Halo

[CTXXTC]

Okay master chief did fall, however he could die, the only way he survived was due to the fact he got a piece of the forerunner dreadnught (i dont know how the hell it got destroyed since i didnt play halo 2 and i havent seen the final high charity cutscen) So you guys are all wrong, Im getting reach for the sangheili officer armor, WORT WORT WORT!!!

[s0d3rb3rg]

Im getting reach for the sangheili officer armor, WORT WORT WORT!!!

I think buying the Limited Edition and Legendary Edition is waste of money, I mean it would be cool to have that flaming head and special elite armour and the Noble team statue but still...

I'm just gonna preorder the standard edition (u can haz rec0nzzz!1!!)

[Joe9412]

Halo Reach is OUT!

[ftgsarge]

I watched the countdown hit 0 and now I just have for my game to ship to me.

[s0d3rb3rg]

Yeah, I got it! It's awesome!! But, the site I pre-ordered at said you would get Recon, and I pre-ordered. But I didn't get any rec0nz! very angry surprised face!

[Aki Dazrold]

Did you enter the code from the bonus content insert?

[s0d3rb3rg]

Did you enter the code from the bonus content insert?

There whas no code :(

[McJobless]

I GOT DA LEGENDARY EDITION PLUS DA RECONZ AND ZE GAMESTOPS UA/V MULTI-THREAT ARMOR PIECE...EPIC 1337N355 FTW!!!

But seriously, OMG REACH IS EPIC! And I love my flames...lol

[Joe9412]

Show me what you look like in Reach Extreme.

[Aki Dazrold]

I have come to HAAAAATTTTEEEEEEE The concussion rifle. I swear. Those Elites wearing that specific kind of armor are ALWAYS carrying some really annoying gun!

I also have distaste for the revenant.

For those of you who don't know what this vehicle is: The first time you see it, you may mistake it for a Spectre. I did. Right up until I did a double-take and noticed it had two seats right next to each other. It is small, fast, annoying, and it HURTS.

This thing, on the left:

Yeah the walkthrough I am watching Concussion Rifle does hurt. Also both of those can be good if you use them on the convent. Take there stuff from them and smack em with it, hard.

EDIT: I'll take a screengrab tonight, you'll be able to see it in my service record by the time you login, but I'll post it here next time I log in to RRU.

AND OMG LEGENDARY IS KILLING MAI BRAINZ!!! Those damned concussion elites keep on pushing me back to my previous checkpoint faster than God can pull the lightbulb from your clueless body...luckly, I have patience on my side, and I can also find very un-obvious ways to kill these guys (EXAMPLE: I used a concussion rifle I found from a previous battle to smash Jorge over the ledge in the second mission so he would start and attack and draw the damned elite guy back to my position, where I held a shotgun, some fury, and a lot of luck...)

[Aki Dazrold]

Tiem to beat now on legendary.

Or, at least, master the new forge world. I'm still mindblown from it.
