I'm debating whether I"m going to show up at work tomorrow. I'm going to wal-mart tonight at midnight to get the game, and highly doubt that I"ll be able to go to bed without playing it for at LEAST an hour It may be hard to get up at 4:30 am.

Maybe I'll see you online, bitch. Tonight or tomorrow.

These don't give anything away about Halo 3, right? I was going to replay Halo 2 but got to a section of the game that I remember really not liking so I stopped.

Who all will be on at midnight? Perhaps we can get a few groups of 4 for some co op.

I don't know about the 1Up column but the Yahoo video doesn't give away anything. It is just a look-back at the story of Halo 1.

The just run through Halo 1 and 2 real quick in case you forget or have never played before. Good refresher at least.

I just finished reading the 1up story re-cap and it does hint at a few things in halo 3. It doesn't tell too much, though.

It looks like I'll watch the Yahoo video then. I was reading something on IGN that gave a bit of backstory and I have no recollection of what they were talking about so I'd like to be up to speed before I watch the game.

I'm definitely up for some 4-player co-op at some point, but personally, I'll be playing through by myself the first time through. After that, I hope to go back through with some people on my friend's list to goof around and maybe try out the meta-game scoring/skulls.

I don't think it gave anyway anything, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. I know you said earlier you didn't even want to read any reviews, so I apologize if you read anything you didn't want to read. Looking back over it now, I guess there is one comment from a Bungie developer that you might be talking about. To anyone else who wants to read it, it just mentions one of the focal points of the story, but doesn't delve into anything.

I agree...as much as I'd like to do some co-op, think I wanna run through the game myself first on Heroic, then get some Legendary co-op going after I finish it. Co-op makes the game a lot easier (imo)

I got halfway through playing Halo 2 SP last night...I totally forgot the vast majority of the campaign. Was fun playing that again.

Nah don't worry about it. It doesn't say anything of importance. I thought it was a pretty good read, especially since I'm bored here at work

I just noticed that you were banned for a week. I wondered where you went. It seemed like Queasy wasn't posting quite as much, either.

Yeah, I did the same yesterday. Got halfway through the 2nd Arbiter mission. Can't remember how far into the game that is though.

Funny how great minds think alike. Think I finished the first one, and got to the part where the Chief is on the 2nd Halo and just past the bridge part. Ok maybe not halfway through, more like 1/3, but just enough to get my blood pumping for Halo 3 tonight.

 

[bucwylde23]

I played all the way through halo 2 last week. Played some online matches last night also. There were some really boring levels in Halo 2 that I struggled to get through but I hung in there.

I hope there are no levels like that in Halo 3

the Library in Halo 1 on legendary was by far the worst/most annoying lvl in any of the games

Yeah, if you take out the Library level or even just take out the part where you have to trudge back through it, Halo would have been a much better game. I'm more on the 'needs more Scorpion tank' side of things.

as much as i loved the tank lvls in Halo 2 the thing gets kinda boring as its so OP and it just moves too damn slow

 

[Randum]

I can tell you the levels are not a lot of "backtracking" in that sense of the word, but you go back to the same location via a different path. Each level has its ups and downs, but the most annoying aspect, is the flood because of the respawing, but thats not even that bad.

Halo3 campaign is no bioshock or half life 2, but its not bad, if that makes any sense

Whaaaaaaaat? I loved the Library...that was one of the more challenging levels. Plus it was shotty city. Now 343 Guilty Spark...that level needs to be wiped off the map. Not to mention you had to play it *twice*

i loved it as well it was just annoying. guilty spark wasent bad as you coudl just walk around a mele everyone who was asleep, even on legendary if you did it right you coudl do almost all of it without fireing your gun

Hmm, guess I was too trigger happy, don't remember whacking people on GS. I remember they were asleep on the corridor levels though.

Regardless, good things though. Sad to see the series end at Halo 3 though
