magik Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Well, I've been meaning to play through Halo 1 and Halo 2 straight through again just to refresh the story in my mind before I finish the fight on September 25th, but I never got around to doing it, just didn't have the time. I did, however, visit halo.bungie.org and download the Halo 1 and Halo 2 cut scene libraries and watch them all straight through. Immediately after that, I watched the Halo 3 announcement trailer and the Halo 3 live action trailer... and WOW. :blink: Putting it all together like that in one sitting really puts everything in place and sets up the story beautifully. It's truly amazing how much Bungie has put into this story, you can really tell when you see it all together like this. Man, I thought I was pumped before, I absolutely cannot wait for this baby!! :drool: :drool: Those of you that have not played Halo 1 and/or 2 or could use a refresher, I really recommend downloading the cut scene libraries (I can set up a Torrent of all of them put together or upload it to some hosting site or something if enough people would benefit/would use it. It's 912MB total, WMP Large). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Compilation Archive Download Links Halo 1 Cutscene Library: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UADUI771 Halo 2 Cutscene Library: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=50BHASWD Edited September 10, 2007 by magik Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586945-halo-3-story/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pajter Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I got together with a few friends yesterday and played through Halo 1 with co-op. We did the first few levels on Legendary, but we figured it would take too long and we were mostly interested in the story, so we finished it on Heroic. The ending still hit me just as much as it did back then. Excellent story. :yes: We're going to do Halo 2 next sunday, but I think I'll still grab those cutscenes. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586945-halo-3-story/#findComment-588839817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pajter Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Won't the collector's edition have the new cutscenes? Else I will have to youtube them, that would suck. :laugh: btw, I downloaded all the Halo 2 cutscenes separately, but I'm missing the part where the chief goes: "Sir, finishing this fight". Did I forget something? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/586945-halo-3-story/#findComment-588839999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BajiRav Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Watching everything and playing it just makes the wait feel even longer.Can't wait. My roommate was not into games but he liked watching Halo when I was playing. He used to comment, this is as good as a movie. :) Candid, honest opinion from a non-gamer.
