Halo Triple (Non-Spoiler Discussion)

[DoTheFandango]

BEAT IT AND I WANT TO SAY THAT I SMELL LIKE ASS AND POO.
other than that, the fucking last level was insane.

Spoilers below, don't highlight unless you've beaten it or don't care:

By "the last level," you mean the driving to get onto the frigate, or the entire "Full Circle" level? My favorite was outside Truth's spire where the two spider walkers were--that was some of the most engaging gaming I've ever played.

Man, I thought I might be disappointed by this game--so glad I wasn't. Good job, Bungie.

Very imperative question: Is the helmet "wearable"?

Definitely worth a rent if you own a 360, and a must buy if you thought Halo 2 was "ok" and had hopes that 3 would be better. It is, in every conceivable way.

I'll be the judge of that, seeing as how I played both halos a ridiculous amount of time . And as of right now it isnt 'better'. I wanted to compare halo 2 directly to halo 1 when I first got the game also, but I realized soon after that they're 2 almost entirely different games. At least different enough that they're both good in their own regard. dual wielding, no fall damage, xbox live, removal of the 3 hit kill, etc really makes halo 2 its own game. 3 also at a first glance seems very different than both of its predecessors. With my limited gameplay experience I would say that it has balanced online play, although when halo 2 first came out it DID take a while for people to bring out the flaws of the physics engine and bungies gametypes. Some of the most memorable exploits that I can remember are bouncing the flag across the level on colossus, grabbing the flag through the floor in ivory tower, going to sleep outside of the boundary of zanzibar/burial mounds and seeing the other team still struggling with ':05' left to go in the round when I wake up in the morning, rocket/sword glitching people and actually getting a kill from it, and of course, the less patchable super bouncing.

The lesson from this rant is that you should withhold judgment on a game thats released mainly for its online play until people have a good solid understanding of how to play it. I believe it took people almost 3 months to REALLY start using the pp/br in halo 2, and way longer still to bxr and bxb, but thats just my own recollection. And considering I was fairly close to the top at that time I should know. From what I've seen so far most people are still just running around the map with their AR trying to get a feel for shit, myself included. Come back in 3 months for a decent review of the game

lol btw when was the arbiter ever prohibited from using human weapons jackass

Halo 3 Baseball is fun shit.
