yert* Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Dual weapons and weapon combos ruined Halo. Halo 1 actually required skill. Halo 2 was a ###### and laggy noobfest. That's weird, you must have a different version of the game than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, ever heard of MLG gametypes? BR + BR != a combo && != dual weapons, just teamwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetham Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Dual weapons didnt ruin halo. It altered gameplay some yes, adding a new level of strategy. I can somewhat agree that some of the dual wielding combos were a little be off balance, but not enough to degrade gameplay completely. Halo 2 was not always the ###### laggy noobfest. It really depends on what kind of host you get. Adn also if you have read some of the latest weekly updates at bungie.net, they have newer and more efficient network code going on in halo 3. They have been testing it over XBL and overall have been getting LAN like conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstanov Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 The item on the Spartan that stands out above the other on his hip also looks like it might be something other than a pistol. Its has a lot more of a rounded shape than blockiness of the pistol. Could it possibly be a new weapon all together, or a spiker grenade before it is activated for detonation? Also look closely on the spartan on the right. What is that on his back. Could that be a fuel rod cannon. that would be nice. I'm thinking its the new Anti-vechicle weapon, can't remember the name of it for the life of me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetham Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm thinking its the new Anti-vechicle weapon, can't remember the name of it for the life of me though. It doesnt have the shape of the Galilean Spartan laser though. It does however have a very similart shape to the Fuel Rod Cannon, or possible a modified Carbine.

spenser.d Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Wow. If playing H3 for just a couple of hours can make you not want to go back to H2, they must've done something right. I can't wait. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocstar Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Im thinking it is a little much, Although if we just keep adding money to the pre order it wont seem like something big to swallow once we pay it off on release day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magik Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 SAVED FILMS:One of the things I am most excited about is being able to record gameplay onto your hardrive or memory card. The best way to describe this is as an example: Late one night you go into matchmaking and have the best game of your life. You rack up 95% of your teams kills and attain little deaths. You were playing like a GOD. The problem is, none of yours friends were with you. Don't fear, as long as you chose to save the temporarily stored video of the match, you can share your glory! Start up a party and get all of your friends in it, then bring up your saved video and launch it! The video will automatically come up on everyone's screen and the host will be able to control play, pause, slow, rewind, etc. while everyone else can choose how they want to see it, be it First Person, Third Person, or from a "fly-it-yourself bird's eye view". All I can say about this is, WOW. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
