Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

Well, it's just one level. It's a nice change of pace and I prefer it over the on rail or shooter sections that were in Reach's campaign and which pop up in other FPS titles.

Agreed! As a one off change of pace it's ok and better than some of the gimmickslevels in most games but it's still not as good as the levels that do halo well

A Halo encounter is a beautiful thing. It's thought out and planned meticulously so that the player can approach it creatively and forge out their own unique solutions. There's nothing like that in a COD encounter - you simply kill enough dudes so that you get a short break with the infinite re-spawning enemies to allow yourself to reach a checkpoint that shuts them off and activates the ones ahead.
.

Really? Most Halo encounters are tedious and predictable, I mean we've been fighting the same 3 enemies for a decade so they're not hard to figure out. I think my friends and I spent most of ODST and Reach just running past shit and skipping boring cutscenes.

Drop the campaigns from Halo games, perfectly recreate every good Halo 2 and Halo 3 map, include in game. Ignore the cries from nerds who read Halo novels and post on HBO. Ship it, guaranteed 20+ million seller.

Library was shit. Sorry, it's nothing but repetitive BS. You can like "classic" games all you want, but wanting to keep shit game mechanics like that deserves a hot iron to the nuts.

I don't know if I'd call it "classic" but I liked the library. Certainly wasn't shit. It wasn't even the worst level in that game. That level is difficult and stressful and changes the game completely from what you've been playing all along. First few times you play it you have no idea where enemies could come from. Makes you paranoid/nervous as hell.

Man, you guys are pumping out some ace content. Congrats on achieving such success with a community-driven project, bringing people together and actually creating something when everyone is in a disparate location is hard. Hopefully 343 is aware of THC.

Thanks, Bsangel put a few videos of ours on Waypoint site and getting RT from the 343i guys (and gals) is always awesome. If you guys have a idea or want to get something going I'd love to promote or help.

1 hour until GoT!

Yea I haven't had a chance to play it yet in MM. Wouldn't mind a CTF game.

If you like that, check out Nexy and Best Man new series F Monday.

Good lord.

I agree, everything I've seen you post has been quality.

I like the CoD campaigns for the most part. Although I don't like Treyarch CoD campaigns at all.
Agreed. Putting in game mechanics like infinitely respawning grenades and enemies makes for some terrible gameplay.

Saved. And ME3 was great up until the last 5 minutes. Would have been a 10/10 from me, but the ending soured me and fucked up everything that ME1 and ME2 established that it dropped it to an 8/10 for me. Mac Walters should really be demoted big time within Bioware for that turd of writing.

Maybe not fans in general, but at least that is how I felt.
I uhhh. What? How were Tuchanka and Rannoch detrimental to the previous games?

Blops had the best multiplayer so far.

You know, in my opinion, etc. the wager matches were the biggest innovation that whole franchise has seen AND they're fun as shit.
To me the gunplay was almost as bad as MW2, and just liking one economy mechanic doesn't make it the best. If anything that makes it look even worse.

One of my issues with current gen Halo campaigns is that by the end of a level I don't feel like I've killed nearly as many enemies as I should have. I'm never satiated, they just go by so fast. Halo CE's levels felt like little self-contained adventures that went on forever and gave you a shitton of enemies to kill. Fuck repetitive forerunner corridors complaints.
Tsavo Highway, The Storm, The Ark, The Covenant, and The Package(although it sucked) all have a shit ton of enemies.

I'm 100% serious when I say I like it. I hope we can still be friends.
Nope. FL spot open. Apply to Karl2177. I'm a Bungie employee, I can rank you up faster.

The Library is the closest thing in Halo to classic Doom like gameplay. If you don't like that then... Whatever, I don't know. You're entitled to your bad opinions.
Kuroyume, the king of bad opinions, brings another one to the table.
 
Good games of Halo 3 guys!

BTW did anyone else know youtube can convert videos to 3D? Thats crazy, someone needs to upload the Halo 4 videos so far and render them in 3D :p

With finals over, I'm starting up the stat collection again. Here's a random graph of Multi-Kill Retention Rate for 66 random HaloGaffers.
