The story was awful in the first two games, why would this be any different? =)

As for gameplay, a friend has already played quite a bit of it...Says multiplayer is still good fun...

But pales in comparison to about every good PC FPS.

In multiplayer? FPS multiplayer is only fun when you have that classic "friends in the room" atmosphere... =3

Halo doesn't even have that though.

That's why you have LAN parties.

The headset ALMOST recreates that atmosphere, provided you're playing with people who can hold a normal converstion, which is generally my experience on most Live games. I may try co-op later, I couldn't find anyone last night, but a lot more people seem to have it now.

If you wear a Master Chief helmet with a custom headset while playing, you'll be even more immersed, more than Metroid Prime, I swear.

I wish MS would knock it off with their advertising. Same thing runs 5 times during the same bloody commercial break. Who ever does their PR in NZ needs to suck on the business end of a gun.

Oohhboy: But Halo is this generation's Star Wars how could you not want to see advertising for it like every second. STAR WARS!!! HALO!!!

So today on the radio they had the guy from the Vancouver Sun newspaper advertising that they had Halo 3 coverage in today's paper. He then made some joke about remembering Pong and Asteroids which got a few laughs. The incredibly unfunny DJ who can never let the spotlight be taken off him then decides to join in with the joking and says "I've got this new game called Intellivision". *sigh* That's right. He called Intellivision a game. This is why I hate it when the mainstream ever talks about geeky interests. They always get it wrong but never get called on it. If that same DJ referred to Van Halen as a solo artist whose first name is "Van" he would have gotten sh!t on right there and then but because it's videogames that doesn't happen.

That's like saying "I love chicken" when eating duck.

It's like saying you love to watch soccer, and wondering when Pele's next match is.

All I have to do is use this quote from random IGN poster in regards

Quote
I still think that Bungie intentionally made sooo much hype about the game. And because they did so, (and took their merry time making the game,) that this game WILL own all games before. They simply wouldn't allow it to be anything less than an A+. The Bungie guys are smart and they've made gold. I bet that the game will outsell the entire PS3 system and whatever their top game may be together.

Every Copy sold, is a tear from a PS3 owner's eyes.

Even before we heard about the Revolution, I was already looking forward to this generation. I knew that all I'd need was a bucket of popcorn and a good seat to enjoy the slugging match between MS and Sony.

Yeah seriously . . .

I can't wait for Halo-mania to be said and done with.

I wasn't insulting Star Wars. I was mocking an (obviously paid for) article in Wired Magazine talking about the making of Halo 3...and the new science of game development. It was a complete puff piece about how Bungie was supposed doing things for game design never before done.

Like watching average gamers play the game and seeing if they are having fun, and noticing if they see the items and weapons to pickup and use and understand the mission objectives. This is supposedly revolutionary? I have read interviews of Nintendo doing this since the Nintendo 64 possibly earlier. Shiggy would do this all the time observe and watch people play and could tell if they were "getting the game."

They also said that the cultural phenomenon that is Halo is the same as Star Wars and that Halo will ultimately be this generation's Star Wars. It was a disgusting, horrible article...and quite annoying.

Halo will never be Star Wars. Star Wars was a movie that literally revolutionized special effects and film making. It was a movie that has spawned countless space series on television and film. Yearly conventions, novels, and fans that will love the series for the rest of their life sharing the movies with their children and grand children.

Halo is just a FPS series that has not revolutionized anything, and will be forgot when the next great FPS series is created, and everyone moves on.

I would not be surprised if Halo 3 is the game that causes people to move on. As it will "end" the series...and it will have stiff competition proving that Bungie are not gods in gaming design, and other FPS can do everything Halo can do and sometimes better.

I thought the whole point of Dirk's post was that comparing Star Wars to Halo was an insult to Star Wars. Which would bring you two in line in terms of opinion.

Also, Halo would have been much better as a Macintosh RTS (like was originally planned).

If there is one genre Bungie excelled at it was the RTS genre, I have fond memories of Myth 1 and 2.

How much does it suck that Bungie isn't developing Halo Wars then?
