Halo 3

No lines for halo for me

Got it and am playing it right now. I work at game crazy and we got our shipments in today so I snagged a copy, playing through legendary w/ my friend. It's pretty amazing... don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!

Wtf you just took one? Can't you be fired for that? >_>

**ertyu** · 2007-09-21 00:03

I already have mine paid for and I'm the assistant manager so... nope, probably not lol. Anyone want some pics or don't want me to spoil it? :D

We had an employee in our district fired already for opening a legendary. Im sure some have gotten away with it, but I really don't care THAT much to risk my job. Ill be playing it soon enough.

As for the H2 revolution on online game play. Im not sure if it was the first to implement the "even playing field rank system" but it was one of the first to make it as popular as it is now. It may not have been perfect over time, but at least it made it popular enough to have it used and perfected in more and more games now. I hate playing against fish in a barrel and I hate getting zerged by people that know more about the game then me. Their ranking system helps with that, and I like playing games with similar systems over games that dont.

Game crazy is a lot diff and they normally don't care. I always get pre-streets. We're even allowed to rent out pre-streets from hollywood as long as we return it before the street date.

I wonder if there is a Game Crazy in New York.... time to go find out. Haha, almost Monday D:

**ertyu** · 2007-09-21 00:13

Ok.. I meant employees lol, not customers <_<

**thegilseller** · 2007-09-21 00:16

Oh yeah I know, I also meant to apply to and found one, it's in Long Island though... kind of far so no thanks.

**ertyu** · 2007-09-21 00:19

lol where you live? I was born in Queens but I grew up in Long Island, Oyster Bay to be specific. You live in the city?

**thegilseller** · 2007-09-21 00:27

Yeah, I live in the Bronx. Long Islands a trip =x/ Otherwise I wouldn't mind heading out there.

So wrong, if you've ever played Lan with good people you'd realize this.

Lan is so superior to online play, I know kids who suck online but in reality they're really good at Halo. Being beaten online is never an issue because in most cases I am comfortable knowing it'd have been easy to simply beat them 1v1 on Lan. By no means does halo have such a neglible lag that the field is even. That is and probably never will be the case... :/

1v1 is a world of difference between playing 4v4 or 8v8. And no, I don't mean learning how to kill jack. I mean learning how to deal with more than 1 enemy in front of you, covering your teammates' asses, and overall team strategy. Doesn't mean they "suck", means they're prolly better at 1v1. I am the exact polar opposite of that. I freaking hate 1v1 and love team strategy.

Ok well I'll share what I've gotten through so far in Spoiler format

SEMI SPOILERS

SO far we're on the third legendary mission in co-op. Checkpoints are a lot easier to come by and perhaps the best thing is that when one of you dies you don't both lose like in halo 2. You have respawn opportunity. Plasma pistol is different, now while you have it charged up you lose charges the entire time it's charged. Uhhh.... gravity hammer is awesome and the new grenades are pretty cool too. I'll keep posting crap as I come along it. Only got 2 achievements for 5g each so far lol

I posted this in the console thread, but it belongs here too:

7 minutes and 29 seconds of video has never sold me on a game so well (and one that I've already pre-ordered almost two months ago, no less).

I downloaded that on Xbox live earlier Epical, it made me jizz myself and spazz out over wanting Halo 3 even more...

**Boyiee** · 2007-09-21 00:59

People made fun of the game for having the same graphics as halo2...

What?

The physics in the game are absolutely incredible, such an awesome engine.

**thegilseller** · 2007-09-21 01:16

Eh, people will make fun of anything just because it doesn't interest them. I guess they feel they have to put something down because their personal tastes are different.

Meh, though it is pretty remarkable how far games have come today.

Are you basing that off of Halo 3? or just games in general? lol

**Boyiee** · 2007-09-21 01:21

Halo was one game I always tried to stay away from being competitive in and going to tourney's in, probably because I'm a PC gamer. I really wasn't overly hyped about this game, I preordered it but that was it, didn't watch every video or read any daily updates on it.

But man, if the game is half as good as it looks, its going to be the best game ever to me. It's gonna be hard to fight the need to go competitive again... What's worse is my friend used to travel all over for Halo2 tournaments, and I know hes going to drag me back into the darkness.
