Halo Thread: Games, TV, Movies and Books

lol I’m still on the same harddrive that came with my xbox when it launched.

Finally, installed. Inserted disc1, clicked ‘Infinity’

HYPE!!!

so i know this is the most retarded question to ask BUT does this game feel like a HALO game and/or does it feel a little like CoD/BF/MoH and is it like Halo 2 and 3 online when all u do is shoot and jump towards each other and then when u get close enough smack each other in the face and pray ur the one left standing cuz that got old real fast

Good thing I deleted MVC2 and ST:HD back then!

First game I completely destroyed the other team. 2nd game we got owned, I’ve only played 2 maps lol but I can already tell you the map where people get on the roof is the worst map in the game :lol:

Is it me, or the right thumbstick really sensitive, because I’m using fishtick I keep meleeing by accident.

You’re in for a treat. Multiplayer has a really good Halo 3 feel with a really good Halo 2 design in terms of the maps.

It feels like Halo, I’d lean more towards H1 cuz the movement doesn’t feel as clunky as H3 did to me. Doesn’t feel anything like COD/MOH/BF, and the perk system is the only thing in common really. But it makes this feel *fresh. *No jumping shenanigans like H3’s stuff. People try, then get gunned down. A small change I’ve noticed is that by putting the sprint button on the left analog stick button, nobody crouches anymore. They just run to their death:badboy:

Because this game is just a poor representation of Marathon which was already the Sequel to Halo 3. So they basically retconned the story they claimed they loved so much.

Some people are whining on certain forums cause this game has “kill-streaks” which is about as furthest from the truth. Ordinance drops are like “Care Packages” and can be stolen by the enemy even, there’s no summoning an AI controlled Heli to kill things for you.

I think cortana has been getting a cup upgrade each game easy c cup this time around.

I really don’t understand the compulsive need people have to compare this game’s multiplayer to COD. They are nothing alike.

-Ordinance drops are not the same as killstreaks or Care Packages in COD.
1.Your meter towards gaining one does not deplete when you die like it does in COD.
2.Ordinance Drops are instant. CP’s aren’t, and also have the possibility of being shot down.
3.Ordinance Drops only give you weapons that spawn on the map or speed/damage/resistance boosts. CP’s can give you anything ranging from a OP chopper to ammo.
4. OD’s give you the option to select your reward. CPs and Killstreak Rewards do not.
5.Ordinance Drops aren’t cheap as all fuck.

-COD doesn’t allow character customization (outside of Black Ops, which still was poorly designed besides the emblem system). Halo offers customization in terms of Head, torso, leg, arms, shoulders, and primary and secondary colors. Also not to mention the emblem, visor, stance, AND tag options.

-Call of Duty graphics have looked the same since 2006. Halo’s visuals have evolved tremendously with ***every single title that has been released. ***I mean shit, this game just looks incredible. Black Ops 2 still looks like Modern Warfare 1.

-Last but not least, COD sucks. This game doesn’t. :coffee:

So…I broke down and bought this game today. I still haven’t played through Reach but I have played through 2 and 3 and I’m about to try to run through Halo CE really quick. I’m looking forward to going through the campaign and getting murdered in multiplayer.

The tears, so salty and so delicious! Keep them coming!

I’ve had at least ten people ask me where I got my Wal-Mart pre-order armor.

I just tell them I work at 343. :rofl:

Amazing story by far the best shooter story I’ve played to date. .Wow just wow the ending was touching can’t believe they actually did that shows alot about the maturity and approach to the subject

I’m really bored with the campaign so far so I’m just going to wait and co-op it with friends wheneve we get people willing to go through it.

MP is fun as fuck, a close 2nd to Reach for me. Why they didn’t implement the X on your dead body is beyond me. Now I’m sitting here going, “one shot on my X” and dudes is like, “What X?” and I go, “oh yeah that’s right” but then 10 seconds later my halo instincts kick in again with “3 guys coming for our flag from my X”. >:(

Put it back in 343.

Yeah, Scattergun is probably the least effective Forerunner gun.

Anyone else feel like the SAW is wayyyyyy powerful?

Saw is fucking awesome. Punching power, huge clip, and damn near unnoticeable kickback.

I’ve had a few good streaks with the Scattergun. Than again, I call it in when I’m using the DMR/BR. So I can have a ranged weapon and a CQC weapon instead of the Pistol.

Dem MW2 tactics.

I got a triple with the Saw while using it for the first time. A full clip can mow an entire team down.

Played 4 v 4 slayer and yes that map is the worst out of the 4 I played took like 3 mins to.come to that assumption once I sat on the roof. To think it sucks for the team that does not have this spot.
