Anyone else excited?

[Stavie Steelo]

I like how they updated the look of the guns. I don't really like that jetpack thing looks weird, but looks like it will be solid. Hope is gets the clan matchmatching back from Halo 2 that was awesome and shouldn't of been taken out.

[SStignei]

I think I'm one of the few people who never got into Halo because I was a PC gamer and was spoiled by many good shooters that came out WAYYY before Halo 1 did. Half Life, No One Lives Forever 1 and 2, Soldier of Fortune (more for the gratuitous violence).

[<*)))><]

Damn I can't see it.

[WakingTheMisery]

It looks nice but I hate the mechanics of Halo.

[ericsounds41]

I think it's going to be really awesome.. I've had just about all I can take of MW2, so I'm ready for a new Halo game.. I'm glad they're adding a lot of new additions to the gameplay.. From my understanding I think it depends on the armor you choose, whether you have the jetpack, sprinting, shield, and rolling ability? So that should be interesting.. Plus did it look like it was easier to kill people from the trailer? Maybe their shields were down when they shot it, but I saw a couple of two shot BR and pistol kills.

Didn't know they added all that being able to roll sweet.

Yeah I think it's going to be pretty awesome.. I hope they release more details like specifics sometime soon. Either way I can't wait until the beta comes out.

[WakingTheMisery]

Rolling and jetpacks? That didn't work for Perfect Dark.

Feel like adding the special abilitys will ruin what makes halo so great, the best skill win and not who has the best perk like in MW2 but I'm sure bungie knows what they are doing. I'm also going to assume they are going to make much bigger maps because those armors seem to make you move faster and in halo 3 on the Last Resort walking still provided a fast pace game.

I use to love Perfect Dark how did you not. It was the reason n64 was king... and still is.

[WakingTheMisery]

Both Perfect Darks were horrible.

[<*)))><]

I like it :shrug: but then again I also love halo and you dont.

N64 wouldn't have had half it's sales if it wasn't for 007 Goldeneye :). I think Perfect Dark was a huge upgrade over 007.

Yeah regardless what they end up changing I have faith in Bungie.. Hopefully this will be the best Halo game to date.. and hopefully if they do add perks, which I think goes back to the armor thing in a way, I hope they know not to overdue it like MW2 did, because half the perks on that game are just ridiculously annoying.. such as the fast running and commando knifing, as well as the scavenging with danger close and grenade launchers.

[WakingTheMisery]

Well the first PD was alright for its time but it aged horribly. There are still a lot of N64 games I can play, that one is impossible. It's so ugly.

The second Perfect Dark was okay for it's single player, but the multiplayer sucked ass.

[ericsounds41]

I'm looking forward to the release of Perfect Dark over xbox live arcade this month.. I never got a chance to play the original on n64.

One man army nube tube and danger close is even worse. Although one thing for sure is that glitchs wont come up weekly because unlike IW they are having this beta.

I never look at the arcade and buy those games if perfect dark is there I really gotta start. The only games I play are cod and halo I'm the proud owner of 4 games.

Hopefully there is some type of visual overhaul. Nothing about that game is fun.

Yeah that is true, which I don't understand why infinity ward didn't have one.. I'll admit when it first released for the first month or so I had a lot of fun with that game, but now it's not even fun to play.. it's more frustrating than anything.. at least they fixed the infinite care packages and care packages running thing, along with the 1887s. I ordered Battlefield Bad Company 2 the other day, which is going to be awesome, so that's going to keep me occupied until the beta releases in May.

I just played thee first game never the second so that is most likely why I like it so much. Super Smash Brother is still the greatest game and it doesn't hurt that I'm still pretty dirty in that game.

New unlimited care package glitch just started up. Anyway what I really don't get is that now .44 are almost as good 1887 and no one uses.

Haha.. yeah it comes out March 17th for 800 microsoft points.. I might not get it right away, but I definitely plan on getting it at some point.. I don't have a lot of the arcade games, but I did get the old Sonic games just because those were the first I played.

[ericsounds41]

Yeah I'm not sure about the specifics, but I thought I heard they did quite an overhaul to make it run in HD at a higher frame rate.. or something like that.

Yeah all of the shotguns on that game have a ridiculous range to them.. lately it seems like the SPAS has a better range now than the 1887s.. I do see people running around with that .44 magnum and tactical knife though a lot.. way too many people do that.

I mean akminbo 2 shot kill and when it is akminbo accurance and range increase somehow.

[WakingTheMisery]

It's akimbo.

[industrialbelt]

who the fuck would want to play as elites in spartans vs elites?

[Smeee]

who the fuck would want to play as elites in spartans vs elites?

:wave:

[<*)))><]

Beat downs look so much better and scope on the pistol. Fuck yeah

[SomedayTheFire]

Oh look the made jumping easier and longer.

[blink182gether]

So Halo 3 was the "final installment" of Halo... but not? what's the story with this game, and where does it fit with the Halo timeline?

[sweepthenation]

Jetpackzzzzz

But seriously, can't wait

[sweepthenation]

Prequel to Halo 1, Reach was the first major battle between the Covenant and the UNSC

so spartan 117 won't be the spartan we play as?

[<*)))><]

Nope they are adding 5 new characters I believe, also now I get to fuck up some dinos.

[Stavie Steelo]

I don't really like prequals think it is a dumb idea to get more money out of the game. Should of just started a new story with the same type of gameplay and stuff people would of liked it just as much. I will probalby not play the story to often so hopefully the online is cool, sick of MW fucking killstreaks they are dumb and make people camp.

Well they make a lot more money for the whole reason of it is HALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is the point of making a game with the same gameplay but a different name, Failo wouldnt be fun. Most fan boys like the battle of reach so hey why not keep cashing out give us the multiplayer we deserve.

Just seems dumb to me never liked the idea of prequal you know how it ends already so it's stupid. Also they could use the same gameplay style but it would be way different level/terrian and different characters not aliens and stuff. People just buy it cuz it is Halo they should just scrap single player and make a huge multiplayer game with like 30 levels would be way better, myself am over the Halo singleplayer didn't even finish the third one got boring.

[SpyKi]

I think it looks shit. It just looks like they've expanded on the Halo 3 multiplayer which was garbage. Looks like my Halo days are far behind me, how I miss Halo 2.

[FBTMOPenguins]

I use to love Perfect Dark how did you not. It was the reason n64 was king... and still is.

Ocarina of Time was what made the 64 for me. I miss my N64.

[Charles777]

If I'm broke when this comes out, I will do horrible despicable things for money

[Wake Up]

Don't know why they're trying to get all Unreal Tournament on us.

[SkateFirm21]

I like how they updated the look of the guns. I don't really like that jetpack thing looks weird, but looks like it will be solid. Hope is gets the clan matchmatching back from Halo 2 that was awesome and shouldn't of been taken out.

they should definitely bring back clan matchmaking.

[jwicklun]

this looks great, but can they stop making constant updates of halo? now i feel that I wasted a bunch of money on halo recon.

[tombo85]

Hopefully they reinvent the Halo franchise so that its something fresh.

Uhh, is this supposed to be a joke? lol
