Halo 3 Story


Recommended Posts

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).

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:

Guys, I'll have those links to download the compilations within the hour. I'll edit the first post with them. It's currently uploading as we speak... :D

Using words abit strongly aren't we ?

although i think halo is a good game i dont think i would rate it the best....

:rolleyes: I knew it was only a matter of time till something like this was posted... please, if you're not interested in the game, stay out of this thread. I don't get why you have to shoot down goatsw0rth's opinion like that?

@ magik : 2 games in 14 days could be easy if u weren't doing anything else

Halo 2 Cutscene Library download link added. :)

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?

It's there. It's the last one before the credits.

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.

My girlfriend is like that all the time with near enough every game I own. She would rather sit and watch the story than join in :p

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
