My Halo 3 Review
And now for the more boring commentary:
I started out on the toughest level-Legendary-alone-wanting to "accomplish" that. And for the challenge.
But then It got too difficult, and after trying to complete a level for over an hour-I called on some friends-you can now do 4 person co op in this game-and it freaking rocks! We got through it in 15 minutes! And I got the extra points (skull and achievments) Thats Skull not Skill-OK?!
I am now putting Legendary aside-and going for Normal-just so I can complete it and get the full story line. But I haven't been able to devote a huge amount of time to it yet-that is why I am a little sad-I hope to finish it soon.
There are sooo many awesome options with this game-its unfuckingunbelievable! I'm seriuos! LOL <---Feeling Geeky Now<---
You can save your games-and watch them later as "film" you can save your matchmaking games or your campaign games. I am sure you can upload your saved films to the Net-but I haven't done that yet. You can take screen shots and upload those-and share them with friends.
You can view others saved films and games-if they upload them with permissions.
That is my favorite part because I can watch someone who is better than me-and see how they play. I can watch sooo many different things-its amazing.
You can pause the film-and get a different perspective-from another teammate or enemy or you can just fucking fly across the map if you want to. You can freeze the time right before the bullet hits you-and watch it.
You can see if someone really did hit you in the head-or just the shoulder-
etc etc
I Bought both the game-and the Legendary Package. Don't try to add it up-seriously-its all too much-but I don't care-I love every part of it! The legendary package comes with an almost life size head of Master Chief. I thought it was going to be totally stupid-but I fucking love it! When it came out of the box-I just gasped "OMG THAT IS SO COOL!" LOL! I felt like such a geek! I can't stop looking at it.
The Legendary package also came with a couple of DVD's. All about the making of the Halo games and the storyline and the background information about Bungie etc etc. It was pretty awesome to watch-especially since I have met several of the people that work for Bungie, and I have a couple of friends there too-it was just awesome to watch. The one person I had not met-The Voice Of Cortana-the part they did on her was really awesome-and actually made me cry. Don't ask why-
Part of what makes this game so awesome for me is the community and the creators of the game. When I joined thier forum I never imagined I would one day meet any of them or play against them and beat them in a humpday challenge. Never did I think I would meet such awesome people that play the game as well. I have met several of the people that I game with and I would not have if it weren't for this game-I just truly think it is amazing.
Now-lets get back to Halo 3.
Its really fucking awesome-Graphics-Sound-Storyline-Everything!
There are a couple of other new features as well. The infamous X Button is now being used to deploy certain tools-A Bubble Shield, that protects you from your far away enemies, A Grav Lift, Other types of shields, Regenerators, Trip Mines, and others that are escaping me at the moment.
Custom Game Features: Endless options, I am getting tired and dont' want to go into all of it right now-but you can create your own options for the maps if you like-you can make people have 50% gravity, 200% speed-along with all the other options that have always been available-plus several several more. Check it out!
There are New Weapons and New Vehicles along with the standard favorites.
Mongoose: Like an atv-2 people rider-no gun or turret but your passenger can still shoot.
The Wraith now has an extra turret.
There is a cool wierd sand vehicle used by the brutes called the Chopper.
There are now a shit load of grenade options as well-including spike grenades that are just sick! Torch grenades-the usual plasma and standard grenade as well.
A couple of new guns including a flame thrower-some sort of spike gun, all of the standards-and a couple more.
Ok, now I'm really tired. I didn't expect to write all of this just now! But I highly recomend this game to anyone-and would love to play with more people from here-I think that would be fun.
