Some things just take a while to notice! I was on the Library (which rocks, cause you get to kill, kill, and kill alot more!) and for the first time I actually went to the center of the elevator, and there is a four leaf clover. I know I am not the first nor the last to see it, I just am surprised I have never noticed it before! DOH!

I also had one of the funniest things ever happen with flood carriers. I came off the elevator and the bunch of carriers to the right got a friendly blast from my shotgun, three went into the corner. The first one popped, sending the other two straight up the gap between the wall and a structure, came down, the second one popped and sent the third right back up, it popped after landing, I had to pause the game because I was laughing so hard watching them do a yo yo!

I don't have a 360, and based on the feedback so far from H3 owners, I am not sure that I will get one. After years of Halo and H2, (Halo is better in my opinion, like you care) I find I can still be amused, entertained and enjoy playing these. No LIVE, no multiplayer, just me, the covies and the flood. Wow, I need a life!

Don't worry, Halo CE is MUCH better than Halo 3 in my opinion. Nothing beats the originals!

hey, I liked halo 3...

but is this for serious? ggoota check it out!

  • 10.13.2007 7:58 PM PDT

That's awesome. But Halo 3 is well worth getting a 360. The people that say it's bad are the minority who aren't playing it!

halo ce has the best single player in the series, no doubt about it. My favorite part was in the very begging of the second level where you have a lot of marines on the beach. Me and my friend always played coop and we killed those marines. It was funny, because if you kill enough, they start to fight back. We replayed that over and over again. Also, the part where if you kill the elite, you can get into a banshee and fly it. That was sick.

I knew it had some design to it but I didn't know it had a four leaf clover on it.

  • 10.21.2007 3:13 PM PDT

Halo 3 is fun. Not the greatest game ever, deffinitly not better than Halo 1, but you should still get a 360. There are other games becides Halo you know...

That's one of the best missions ever in ANY game. For a slight change of pace, I'm reading the Halo books (now midway through The Flood) and replaying Halo:CE under the Heroic skill level and having a blast. As much as I love Halo 3, I have to say that the sounds (AR reload, walking, warthog tearing up dirt, etc.) and vibrant plasma colors in CE are much better and really set it apart. IMO, it would be a great game if it was released NOW, let alone many years ago.

There is actually a good reason for this.

Sequels are made of anything (movie, game, ect) because the original was so wildly popular and good. What makes a game good is often unpredictable and difficult to pin down to a science. So naturally anything you change going into a sequel may in fact take you away from that "optimum" that you hit the first time. And of course, inevitably most people believe that you have to make "improvements" to have a successful sequel to game. Hence it's a self fufilling prophecy that sequels will never live up to the glory of the original unless you get lucky twice because any change to something already considered as "perfect" is more likely to be for the worse than for the better.

In order to repeat the awesomeness of H:CE, Bungie would have had to stick to the same design philosophy and gameplay with only very minor and carefully tested improvements. This would never happen though because both Bungie and the public expect a quantum leap with each new sequel. Graphics would have been one of the few areas you could improve without hurting the game because Graphics have little affect on gameplay. Improvements like adding Xbox Live would also be fairly non-invasive to the core gameplay.

Is your capslock key broken? Stop being a cheap bastard and buy a new keyboard.

I JUST THINK THAT THE PEOPLE SAYING THAT CANT PLAY THE GAME

Your kidding right? Halo: CE is WAY more challenging on legendary than H3 is. Anyone that already beat Halo:CE ran right through Halo 3 like it was Mario Kart. It bored the heck out of me personally.

I couldn't agree more. Admittedly, after the first level in Halo 3, things got progressively more interesting, but I was shooting Covenant with my Carbine and it was so boring and unsatisfying, I was like, "What the Hell is this?" Seriously, Halo was much more challenging than Halo 3.

Agreed on both points. Brutes don't make much of opponents compared to Elites with multiple over shields.

Spraying and praying is a very difficult skill to acquire. I'd say it's up there with proper punctuation and capitalization.

Really? I thought that Halo: CE was a lot easier. But also a helluva lot more fun. The Halo 3 campaign was pretty entertaining at best, but freakishly unfun at times (I was incredibly close to simply turning off my 360on my very first play of the first level). It's just that Halo: CE is orgasmic at best, and.... well... there is no worst for it..... Its just that great.


Even though I like Halo: CE more, Halo 3 certainly isn't a bad game. I find it worth the buy, and there are a ton of great games out there on the 360 that should definitely be played too.

OMG Yes, Halo: CE is the best game ever created. I play it on my Mac all the time. It really and truly is the best of the series.

Agreed. But Combat Evolved was still way more challenging on Legendary.
