    anyone see the commercial with the what look like force field.  thats new.  he throws down an orb thingy and a shield comes around him.  i’m sure we wont see that many new weapons.  maybe they work differently.  like the pistol being awesome in halo but shitty in halo 2.  same but reversed for the assault rifle.  the new weapons in halo 2 were the sword, which we saw in halo 1.  and being able to use covenant vehicles.  i dont remember any really new guns being made for halo 2.  oh yeah, the brute shot.  that one was pretty cool. so maybe they will make a new weapon or two.

    tribe, i think halo 3 is going to be primarily on earth.  b/c at the end of halo 2 thats where the entire convenant fleet goes as they abandon their homeworld b/c of the flood.  i think we’ll see a ton of urban combat.  bad ass.


  • The urban idea would be awesome. I think they just scratches the surface in 2. I think they could do a lot better, for example in the game first to fight you could send 2 or 3 Marines (fire team based game) and your self to clear a room that would also be bad a**. Still I love the Banshee I wish the humans had something to counter it.

    Maybe motor cycles that could be cool, but I don’t see how you could use that and shoot at the same time.

    Mines would be a cool addition remote and timed.

    I think there maybe more aliens in this one, b/c there was that giant fly trap that had both Chief and the arbiter s/he it will have to have a part in this one.

    I think the pistol should be total bad a** in this one maybe sacrifice range for fire power? I don’t know how well that would work.

    Maybe flash bang grenades to stun bad guys that would have potential, the game makers would have a field day with the aliens response’s to them.

    I just don’t want to be left feeling how I felt and the end of two. It seemed like part two should have been an expansion pack to part one. Don’t get me wrong I love dispensing indiscriminate justice my buddies and I just felt like we were left hanging. I’m hoping that it will all come around and make this a bad a** trilogy.

  • Smoke grenades would be awesome.  Some games just don’t do them right, but when they get them correctly, it’s an awesome tool.  There’s a map in Red Orchestra that’s nearly impossible for the assaulting Germans before they put smoke into the game.

    If I remember right, there were quite a few new weapons in Halo 2.  The sword, Brute Shot, Covenant Carbine (which was the pistol from Halo 1 to me), the energy beam weapon, and I think some others.  A goo gun or something?

    Experience with shooters, especially Half-Life mods, has taught me that smoke grenades pose difficulties mainly because they put such a strain on PC hardware.  I used to loathe smoke grenades in Counter-Strike that I disabled them given the chance.


  • Hmm…… Didn’t know that. For the most part I do my gaming on XBox, PS2 and other consoul systems. Now that I think about it I do all my shooter games on console and strategy games like Warcraft, Red Alert on PC.


  • anyone play the beta version that was on the game crackdown….

    it was freaking awesome

    HALO SUCKS and I do Have a 360.

    The best shooter on 360 is Battlefield 2 Modern Combat.
    Followed by Call of Duty 2 and 3

    For a Halo Feel but not the gayness of Needlers or Blue Grenades sticking to your face, FEAR is a sweet game also.


  • I agree FEAR is good…better single player campaign

    But I must disagree…there is nothing like sticking someone on the face with a sticky grenade…perhaps you just aren’t that good at it?

    I’m definatly not the Greatest at Halo but can definatly hold my own and them some.

  • 2007 AAR League

    all games need sticky grenades.  there is nothing as satisfying.


  • bung!!! we agree on something!!!

  • 2007 AAR League

    What about Halo wars? takes place before Reach.  looks sweet and its about when the covenant and the humans first meet.

    It’s an RTS, isn’t it?  I remember seeing a promo of it, but it was CGI stuff that didn’t show the game.  Sounds good, though.

    I heard the same about Halo Wars being a RTS game,  Probably similar to command conquer with a little Age of Empires but with that spacey Feel.

    We’ll see, I may have to pick that 1 up

  • 2007 AAR League

    really, it looked like a halo style game to me.  that was from the trailer though, i wish they would show the actual game on it then.

    As far as I know there is a Halo 3 and a Halo Wars


  • Dude, Deaths Head, Battlefield sucks ass, Halo pwns everything. You can get killed by a shotgun from 100 yards away in battlefield, it just sucks ass.

    i have battlefield and it was pretty easy to beat. i got stuck on the last level for a while and teh level with the chinese having to capture the 3 cities.  but other than that it was easy. if they made it multiplayeer, and a bit harder then it would be a great game.

    but what does everyone think of ghost recon?

    It is a multiplayer game on live. up to 12v12, full use of vehicles and more.

    the multi is all i play of that game, it’s the only way

    maybe you suck a** at it, thats why you hate it.


  • wow death….wasn’t that the same reason i proposed for you hating halo?  a mature person wouldn’t hate something because they are not good at it.  actually a mature person wouldn’t hate something simply because they don’t enjoy it either.  maybe your grumpy and haven’t had your nap yet.
