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

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
