I'm still gonna beat it on Legendary first - I'll take heroic on second, and then normal and easy if I get achievement points for em, otherwise I'll just let'em be for awhile

Why not go from Normal, Heroic, then to Leg, and then to easy? I think your campaign Exp would be better, and you can see how the AI scales up rather then down, which might make the game seem not as good then.

I know what you mean, but I'm gonna start with easy, and go up.. That way, I'll be amazed by the game first time round, and then on with the differences between the difficulty levels. One of my favourite things about H1/2 was that the number and types of enemies changed, rather than just how much health you or they had. It would always be more fun taking on a pair of Hunters, than a group of superpowered Grunts.
Still, I'll play heroic or legendary from then on.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Staff Writer and speedrun record holder at highspeedhalo.net

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

Sounds good. But, if Heroic is the sweet spot for hardcore players, won't we need a Mythic Difficulty for us uber pro at campaign?

But anyway, if frankie is recommending heroic (which is what I intended to try first) for all those interested enough to read B.net, looks like I might go Legendary then first time.

Oh, and if 7 million people play Halo 3 online, (no. of sales of Halo and Halo 2 each) then we'll only have 10 MB of space each! Though, obviously, that would take some serious usage.

SWEET RACING IS BACK...it wasnt that good in H1 but then again it was 4 players it willl be crazy fun with like 4 3 man teams racing.

Hello

Ummm...just a wild guess, that is probably is way off, but the object placed on your desk wouldn't happen to be an early version of a Xbox portable? That was just the first thing that came to mind when I read it.

He said that the Object on his desk is sometimes shiny, and will be saught after for years to come. That means that it's important so maybe it's a new redone awesome version of the Halo 3 Legendary Edition Master Chief Helmet. SHINY!!!
or it could just be the finished game disc. who really knows, but tell me if u think i'm right.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

I think the new game type is gonna be a re-make of the first halos race game type ( a game type that could have been fun on some different maps). If it was set on THE MAW at the end with the warthogs imagine 16 players racing towards the longsword in eight warthogs with rockets flying everywhere that would be complete chaos.

Nice update

  • 07.01.2007 6:58 PM PDT

i recieved the july edition of Gamepro mag recently which has led me to believe that the new gametype reffered to in the weekly update is a match on a map called shrine (the biggest map in the halo series) u start out with rockets and it is an all vehicles match. but thats just my opinion.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Thanks Frankie - you dah bests

am i the only one excited about the vehicle gametype? (70TB holy -blam!-)

  • 07.02.2007 7:48 AM PDT

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!


The vehicle gametype sounds cool. I'm definitally a heroic guy.

I just hope I timed the weekly update right.

Since the game is in Zero Bug Release, I don't think you "timed" this right. No significant changes are going to be made from here on, I think fans should just trust Bungie (apparently you say you do, as do I) to create the best game eva! And yes, Bungie always welcomes feedback for improvements, but to "request" some things late in the game seems like you haven't "trusted" them.

Anyways not a big deal, but to post a 3 page paper seems kinda irrelevant to me...maybe Bungie too.

p.s. Luke owns Frankie...flame away Frankie!

"...plain old memorization to get out of a scrape."

Noooooooooooooo!

Have you not played Rainbow Six: Vegas Terrorist hunt?
The variation of tangos locations in that game is excellent and is what makes it so enjoyable to
play game after game.
One of the things I though had magnum cheapness was they way you had to memorize sniper placements when playing on Legendary just to get past them.
Into the Belly of the Beast is one of my favorite parts of playing Halo on Legendary because of the variation of enemies you get from one attempt to the next.
Please keep this variation in H3 and render memorization of enemy placement useless. Especially on legendary.

Also, please do not make it Legendary difficulty by nerfing MasterChief while leaving everything else as it is in normal.
Instead leave MasterChief as he is in normal and crank up the enemies precision, aggresiveness and above all, their quantity.
MasterCheif should have to face huge hordes of enemies, not be made easier to kill then some technician.

One Chance One Kill

Most of the things I suggested was merly things that I thought might make the game better. I trust them, I also find it not irrelevant at all, and would like to tell me how it is? I never really offered any significant change ideas, besides of course the Sword. ;) Textures, effects, etc are quickies in todays world of video games compared to what else there is to do. I don't even think I addressed any bugs. I think that is irrelevant. I think I stressed that I was not really making any requests, just saying, hey, good job so far, I like this, but I think this would be even better; Oh, and if you can, could you possibly think about looking at this?

And I made it so they could skim if they do not want to even think about reading certin things, all for there convience. Oh, and it is 5 pages on word. ;)

Come on Bungie, give us something to get us pumped for E3!!!, I don't think I can wait 4 days. At least tell us something we should remember to keep in mind when new news comes this year. Or will there even be any Halo news? Ah!!! No Halo news? E3 would officially suck big time. The gaming world revolves around you guys, u're like it's sun practically.World domination, ha, how bout dat universe Bungie, it's not so big 4 u all now!!!
