Halo 3 Talk

[jonchang]

So, Halo 3's coming out on Sept. 25, same time MUA Platinum "Enhanced" is coming out. Hopefully none of those rip-offs like the PS2 had. Anyway, back to the point:

Anyone getting it soon? I'm gonna wait till the crowd mayhem settles down before getting it for my 360.

Ain't got a 360, so I'm screwed with waiting for two more years till the PC port hits the shelves. I've only recently gotten to play Halo 2 PC -- gotta say, the visuals are damn impressive, consireding this came from the X-Box 1. Especially if you play it in XP and not Vista, so you can use a lower-than-lowest-system-reqs system with maxed-out graphics settings and get FULL SPEED.

All I want is Halo 3 single player.  Playing a bunch of whiny, prepubescent, racist kids does not interest me in the least.  But yeah, I love the Halo story

[jonchang]

Yeah, multiplayer can be quite a hassle:

"Don't look at this screen!" "Don't look at that one!" "Which screen am I?" "Dammit, stop cheating!" "What!?!?"

[Noelemahc]

But yeah, I love the Halo story

I'm still waiting for Durandal to pop out from the woodwork somewhere. Spent a few weeks replaying the Marathon games in chronological order, and it sure brought back some fancy memories of my gaming youth, as well as a paranoid suspicion that the Halo world really IS the Marathon world.
And, well, from there it's half a leap of imagination to a guest appearance of the Pfhor.

Because if you've played Marathon, you're probably aware of how Cortana is reminiscent of Leela, Gravemind of Thoth and Master Chief - of the nameless Security guy that turned out to be the missing MJOLNIR cyborg

once i get the money for it im getting it. my friend has it and we played it for like 3 hours, and from what i seen its pretty awesome.

[jonchang]

Yeah, I know. With the added graphics of the 360, it's even more wikid.

[PackerFan8459]

Is the gameplay the same on PS2 as it is on the 360, like are there more maps or is it the same cuz he has the PS2 and I havent gotten it for the 360 yet.

[Teancum]

The Halo series is exclusive to the Xbox and Xbox 360

[Norrin Radd]

and pc

[BliZZ]

Too Halo 2 only runs on Vista.......

[Teancum]

Technically it runs on XP as well via a hack.  (Google will tell all)

[jonchang]

How bout Halo 3? I think it's an exclusive to 360 only. Never seen anything else come out for PC or the original XBox.

[PackerFan8459]

wow i feel stupid, i meant the regular xbox not the ps2. my brother was playing his ps2 at the time and i guess i didnt realize the mistake. so i take it the game play for the xbox and the xbox 360 is the same?

[jonchang]

Well, the 360's graphics are obviously much better.
