nah, when is this coming out?

8/26/2007 1:25:03 PM

a month

I'm getting so pumped about this game

Seeing how I haven't been in school for about a year, the most I could muster up is about 6 people to play across 2 x-boxes the weekend after it comes out...but it'll still be fun, lol

I'm really curious about the Forge. I'm wondering how it's going to work out. From what I've read (see if yall agree), when you are editing the map, you are standing there almost like you've hit pause to change your controller config. You can still be killed while you are trying to edit the map...agree?

I also wonder if you can only change things in your line of sight. Or if you could super jump on a stage, and just edit the crap out of the whole map and no one could get to you.

I should have the campaign done by noon of the release day.. then I have another good 10 hours for online multiplayer before I pass out and have to go to work the next day

8/27/2007 10:19:38 AM

I'm definitely taking a sick day the day after I get it

I will be powering through the campaign as fast as possible as well, to unlock whatever multiplayer armor permutations they have

8/27/2007 10:25:32 AM

according to what I have read, Forge will only let you change vehicles, weapons, maybe turrets/teleports, etc. It will not let you actually manipulate the land around you. I'm not sure if it will be in "Pause" mode, maybe they will remove you from the game while you edit. Everyone has to be in the game in "forge mode" So they can edit it as well. Should be very interested... and I'm so hyped about the replays as well.

8/27/2007 3:11:14 PM

yeah, I knew it couldn't change the land

but I think it will be intense if you see someone running for a tank, so you just take it out

or if you have some extra points, drop a sword or a laser

guess we'll see

"New Details on Forge for Halo 3 Emerge By Brick | Published: August 24, 2007 8:39pm EST "You can even create your own custom power-ups. Want a power-up that gives you an overshield, turns your avatar blue, and makes you deal twice the normal amount of damage? You can make it and then drop it into one of your custom Forged levels. Damage and attack, gravity, speed, health regeneration, shield effects, duration and a whole lot more can be tweaked, stacked, and then packaged into one nice little power-up to use in the game." Reporting straight from Game Conference 2007 in Leipzig, Germany, Erik Brudviq of IGN unveil ed juicy details about The Forge, Halo 3’s map “editor” (none existing geometry can be altered, so it is more of a Halo 3 customization tool). Since damage, gravity, speed, power-up effects and almost anything else can be altered, the game can pretty much turn into any type of shooter imaginable. Add to this Forge is a live editing tool, meaning all alterations can be made while up to eight players are going at it. While there are some restrictions (i.e. you cannot eliminate a vehicle while someone is driving it), it opens the door for many fun game types that involve two “map masters” quickly stockpiling their teams for never-before-seen types of mayhem."

sounds cool

8/27/2007 4:06:59 PM

Halo 3 from my experience playing it is extremely balanced (even needler) and easy for nubs to pick up and enjoy. I hope they fix the elites body and maybe even add in a flood multiplayer character. All competitive players use spartan since the head is smaller and harder to snipe. I plan on creating a to4 to try and win a spot for the paid trip to the australian tourny a few months into the games release, I haven't played in a pro tourny since cpl of summer in 2005. What do you guys know about the head gear and other character design options for online?

8/27/2007 5:54:11 PM

im pretty sure mlg and other tournies state in the rules that everyone needs to play as the spartan.

8/27/2007 7:47:32 PM

character design has been kept under wraps pretty well, but there are apparently a ton of options you can unlock with achievements through campaign and multiplayer

Drovkin, have you seen any of the videos on gametrailers.com? also scans from several magazines have a lot on the armor permutations... but i hope there's more that i don't know about too

9/4/2007 1:30:44 PM

They should make a survivor mode against an onslaught of flood.

BEU that would crazy lol... but id play it

9/4/2007 6:41:27 PM

no seriously, make some crazy level with choke points and open areas and all sorts of shenanigans like traps, covenant, reinforcement points. I mean it would be insane.

Not sure how well it would work with the controls being what they are. But man, I would TOTALLY blow shit up till the very end.

[Edited on September 4, 2007 at 7:42 PM. Reason : d]

Oh, and make it multiplayer!!1

we need a big group of guys to play down in wolves den once this comes out, and maybe put some money down on it??? haha

9/5/2007 10:05:16 AM

I'm actually getting pretty pumped for this. Craving a 0 brainpower console FPS.

9/5/2007 10:27:48 AM

I've already got a small gathering planned with some buds to have 2 boxes linked up that friday just to play all night, lol

9/5/2007 11:14:53 AM

I'm getting pumped about this as well. You know all for all this will be a damn good game....I can smell it. Something about the immense budget MS has thrown at this to add a brand new high tech testing lab (for fun, balance, analysis on maps - campaigns, testers - stuff like that) is a first for the series, and in this scope, for the entire game industry....I bet it will really make this game awesome.

9/5/2007 11:27:09 AM

if you are wrong, I will fucking stab you

Oh yeah, and thinking about having an all-flamethrower and all-gatling gun match just makes me cackle.

9/5/2007 5:45:51 PM

well im guessing he's excited cuz he has an xbox...and halo is only on 360.

9/5/2007 6:52:30 PM

^great assumption

9/5/2007 7:18:48 PM

it took a lot of hard thunking

9/5/2007 7:19:36 PM

probably would make more sense if the game wasn't 20 days away

seems like a better post for "xbox games

Played Halo 2 last week.

Played Halo 1 tonight

Halo 2 in coop mode defaults to left and right split screen(on a 32" HD LCD tv), which is horrible(and I don't know how to change)
Halo 1 is windowed and defaults to top and bottom split screen.

MOTHER FUCKING HALO 1 is >>>>>> HALO 2 as far as game play goes. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed halo 1 more than halo 2 campaign mode.

I haven't played either in years(so I have a fresh perspective) and now I know why so many people thought the halo 2 campaign sucked.

The two weapon system of halo 1 with no dual wielding makes things so much smoother. FUCK dual wielding.
