    Default The OFFICIAL Halo 3 thread

    Yes folks, the time is drawing ever near, 14 or so days left and we will be playing the most anticipated game ever.
    The Xbox 360's 'Killer app' will be here.

    The hype campaign for Halo has been astonishing, along with a Halo customized controller and Xbox 360 a Halo branded mountain dew drink, dorritos and Halo 3 styled pontiac are avaialable to the public.

    With around 1.5 million copies already ordered (Myself included) Halo 3 is already set to be one of the biggest selling games of the year.

    This thread is for the hype and and the eventual discussion of Halo 3 when it is released.

    Halo 3 will bring the amazing campaign that has enthralled us for the last 6 years to a close also included is new 4 player co-op, it will bring new and improved gameplay in the addictive multiplayer and possibly the most interesting feature is the revolutionary 'forge' where you will be able to edit mulitplayer maps in real time and turn them into how you want them helping your friends along the way.

    I am looking forward to the SP the most, I can't wait to finish the fight and discover the secrets of the Halo's and the forerunners.

    Can't wait.

    But I didn't preorder, and I doubt I'll do a midnight purchase.

    I will probably attempt to pick it up the day it comes out at an EB games or something, if it's sold out there I'll get it at wal-mart in the next day or two.

    I still can't understand how they (Bungie/MS) ****ed up crosshair to be a bit below the center of the screen? It was right in the middle in Halo: CE. I mean what the ****, whose idea was it? Let me slap that moron!

    I don't have an Xbox 360 yet, but will get one the 30 October So all my friends will have a big lead in Halo 3 when we will fight at Xbox live. But I really can't wait to Halo 3+my 360. Halo 2 was so freaking awesomer, and I am still playing it.

    On Friday there will be a TV trailer for Halo 3.
    Here is the teaser to that trailer:

    Looks real cool.
    This shows bungie has range, and halo just isn't some mindless 'shoot what ever is in front of the reticle' game, it's got a story and emotion to it.

    This game series is epic. I think it strength is the amazing and deep story. It's not just your typical lame aliens want to invade earth and conquer it story. The story has depth.
    Probably the one of the best stories ever told in a first person shooter, if not, certainly the most epic.

    This game will be amazing.

    How do you think Halo 3 will fare in terms of sales numbers compared to the game Super Smash Brawl for the Wii? I've heard much discussion that it may be very close between Halo 3 and Brawl. My opinion in that in America Halo 3 will manage out Smash Brawl, but Japan and worldwide Brawl might be a little higher in total sales than Halo 3 but both will sell lots.

    @Duke, do you think Halo 3 is going to be compared to or have a better story line/game that is more epic than Half Life and Half Life 2?

    Halo 3 will dominate Brawl in sales.

    Pretty much everyone who owns a 360 will buy Halo 3.

    Half the people who buy a wii don't bother to get anything else besides Wii Sports.

    I think Halo 3 sell very well, since there are more Wii's than 360's then SSBB will perhaps sell more, but I wouldn't count on it. More 360 games are being sold than Wii games.

    I don't think the stories of the Halo series and the stories of the Half-Life series will be compared as they really are so different.
    But I think Halo has a better story and yes, it is more epic.

    Wow, that trailer makes me think of how a Halo movie could be done so well, plus Halo 3 seems to be going back to CE's style of ads, the whole Last Hero, or hope.

    There was one in my compy of OXM the other day, and it actually made me cry.

    I wonder if that mission that guy was talking about is in the game, I really like the diorama.

    BTW I have a hunch Humans are the forerunners. I have thought this ever since I read that novel (the one inbetween Halo 1 and 2). Not only that but the Guilty Spark guys are always calling humans "reclaimers".

    I think the flood are the forerunners, obviously not the newly infected covenant and human ones but the original flood.

    They aren't humans that got disproved by the Halo comic, the forerunners gave earth its early technology and helped the human civilization. They were considered 'gods' by the early humans.

    Thats what that halo comic said anyway.

    Ridiculous, I feel sorry for anyone who opposes him in an online game. Mad skills. I could never even hope to be a fraction as good as him.

    It has been surmised, that perhaps, my lord had become like a wild animal that had been kept too long. Perhaps, but whatever... freedom... so long an unremembered dream, was his.
    The children of Doom...Doom's children. They told my lord the way to the mountain of power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the earth...HA!! time enough for the earth in the grave.
