But gameplay wise no, not really, other than the fact that there's a hammer that bounces back projectiles Stalwart Steve fucked around with this message on 09-25-2007 at 09:02 AM.

Replays are fantastic. The three days of free Live will likely get me to subscribe for a year.

You could do that in Gears? Where? I seriously never saw this
Also the turret thing is pretty neat. It worked a lot better in this game than it did in Lost Planet. It's all about implementation, breh

Actually change where items are. Not just swap them.

It'll probably have more polish than any game this year, but it's just be the next iteration of Halo 2 with a few new features. Nothing revolutionary. Hell, after playing the Halo 3 multiplayer I wasn't really able to go back to Halo 2. The difference in the way the game played was significant enough to make Halo 2 hard to play.
Bungie is capable of much better, but I think Microsoft Game Studios needed something very specific and they delivered the best they could within those constraints. I still consider it a fun game.
i'm waiting for him to say "Who am I?" all dramatic and stuff
I stopped playing on flood map 500 because it was fuckin ridiculous

The flood aren't even different in this game haha, what are you talking about? They're still just the same annoying-as-fuck, fake-difficult spamguys that populated the earlier games.

The bigger ones are a lot more aggressive and the little ones explode in bunches now, which is nice.
I dunno, for whatever reason I found flood levels aggravating in Halo 2 but they didn't really bother me in this game

yeah awesome, the lamest enemies to ever grace a fps game now do their lame shit in bigger numbers!
Glad I didn't get Halo 3 after all, I was told there was no Flood.

The first time you run into the Flood isn't bad at all, wide open areas and there aren't that many, so yeah.
Single player is really only about 15% fighting flood, it just seems longer because the shit level is shitty. The hornet and scarab sequences easily make up for it, and if you're avoiding Halo 3 just because you don't want to fight the Flood, you're missing out.
I think they're pretty scary and a lot of fun to fight. It's the covenant that I don't really like, especially now that there's so many goddamn snipers.
I like furious, throw 100 enemies at you twitch gameplay like Serious Sam's.
I also like squad-based, tactical duck & cover stuff like Gears of War or GRAW.
I guess I just don't like going from one to the other randomly in the course of the same game. Asha'man fucked around with this message on 09-28-2007 at 07:27 PM.

what the hell is up with the assault rifle. they took the scope off the battle rifle and it's new? wtf?
It's from Halo 1 and it's a whole lot better than the Battle Rifle is in this game
It's not accurate enough to get reliable headshots like you can with the BR, and it doesn't really have a whole lot of stopping power either. It beats the crap out of the SMG, but you can dual wield the SMG and that means a plasma pistol and that means killing shielded targets with absolute ease, which you can't do with the AR.
I guess I'm just finding a complete lack of a niche for this weapon in a world with dual wielding and battle rifles.
I don't like the battle rifle for frantic situations, anyway. Kegwen fucked around with this message on 09-28-2007 at 11:34 PM.

the assault rifle is alright, but seriously this game needed far more regular plasma rifles
If you're even remotely good at getting headshots, there's no reason to ever be caught without it.
The regular plasma rifles suffer from the same crap that the assault rifle does - they're a close-to-medium range weapon without that much stopping power. I guess someone is able to use such things but they don't fit anywhere into my own strategy. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 09-29-2007 at 12:13 AM.
headshotting is pretty worthless with my own strategy honestly because i usually just pump em full of lead, run in and hit them with a melee
It does about as well as the assault rifle in most cases, but at least you can duel wield the damn things with a plasma pistol so they aren't totally worthless. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 09-29-2007 at 12:35 AM.

The Assault Rifle is awesome, just because. It's actually able to kill people, unlike the standard starting guns in Halo 1 and 2.
Maradon, do you play on Live! at all?
