You probably will enjoy part 3. You'll miss out on the story though, which is a big part of Halo imo.

Still, there's multiplayer - which will undoubtedly kick ass. So many things in Halo 3, there should be something for everyone.

Bottomline: if you like FPS, get Halo 3. You'll just miss the story because you haven't played Halo 1 or 2.

PA's in on Halo too today.

The juggernaut that is Halo is in high gear :woot:

Hey, there's more (there aren't any spoilers in the next part, it's just humor).

This is how the game ends

Greetings Halo Fans! Finally, the story can be told. News from the front lines of the gaming industry this week has pointed to copies of the anxiously awaited Halo 3 leaked onto ebay.

In the wake of this announcement, Tied the Leader was not to be outdone. This act of piracy and unauthorized e-Commerce represented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in rogue Internet Journalism. Thus, we pooled our collective lunch monies and we scored ourselves a copy!

Since then, we have been frantically storming through the campaign on Easy! That?s just how we roll. Now that we have emerged triumphant from the story mission, it is our pleasure to share with you all the pearls of narrative for which you just cannot wait.

Behold!

TOP TEN SURPRISES IN HALO 3!

10. The Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson ride ?Brokeback? on a Mongoose ? not that there is anything wrong with that.

9. Cortona upgrades her behavioral profile to ?Vegan 2.0? in order to defeat the Gravemind in a triumphant battle royale.

8. The light that is emitted by the Ark only kills Nazis.

7. For only 200 Microsoft Points, gamers can download a skin that enables them to play as Chuck Norris.

6. The Arbiter survives the war, and settles down in the MidWest to become the industry-leading owner of Dodge dealerships in the region.

5. The Warthog achieves a turbo boost when its exhaust manifold is injected with Mt. Dew Gamer Fuel.

4. The Brute Chieftain climbs atop the Empire State Building for a final boss fight against a swarm of angry UNSC Hornets.

3. The Chief?s helmet comes off at the end, and he looks just like Bill Gates.

2. There is an intermission in which a kickline of Flood Warrior Forms perform the dance number from the video for Michael Jackson?s ?THRILLER?.

1. Last line of the credits? ?To Be Continued!?

You heard it here first!

Try to contain your jealousy. You will get your turn?

I dunno if any of you are NASCAR fans, but if so, here's something to look for on the 23rd:

I'm really excited about this quote here from Frankie. :D

Yes, I am too. Especially after seeing some (not all) of the maps yesterday. Most of them seemed to be fairly mid to large scale maps, so more, smaller sized maps will be very welcomed. I prefer smaller maps anyway. :p

One question. I'm not even going to bother buying Halo 1 or even 2, so would I still enjoy part 3?

Added to the fact I've never played any Halo game and was a Sony fan up until the purchase of my 360 9 months ago.

Yes, you will definitely enjoy it, there is no question. As status-seeker said, you will only miss out on the story, but even playing the campaign (on co-op or by yourself) will be fun, it is a great experience.

If you want to get up to speed on the story, I recommend downloading the Cutscene Video Libraries from Halo 1 and Halo 2, available here. Take about an hour to watch those and you'll be ready to Finish the Fight. :D

Can't believe how awesome that is made. Kudos to the model builders/painters/whatevers. Really, really nice job.

Is there anywhere I can get a short synopsis of the story so far? I have Halo 1, but never finished it and then never bought Halo 2. I'm still stoked for 3 though and don't want to be left out of the story.

Edit: NM, just saw a link to the cutscenes a few posts up :blush:

Holy ****! That was awesome! It was kinda lame in the beginning and I didn't really get what they were getting at, but then when you see the end, wow :blink: kick ass! Can't wait baby! :D

I still don't get the whole "Believe" thing. :huh:
