I haven't played H3 since I do not have a 360, but I did recently watch a ton of Utube vids covering what I assume was the first 3 levels on Normal. I was a bit underwhelmed! Not by the difficulty or lack thereof, but by:
1-the fact that I had heard much of the same marine dialogue, and many of the same musical parts in H2
2-the fact that the grunts did not even sound like grunts, and were in pretty much no way funny at all
3-during CE many people complained that Two Betrayals was just AotCR backwards, but I counted three times during my view where the MC goes from point A to B, then is ordered back to point A to do something, and then out. To me, that just seemed like a good way to keep the campaign maps small!
4-I did not once see a ghost, I did see the brute chopper, which I still do not have a strong opinion on either way. I remember Ghosts in H2 making life absoultely miserable on Legendary for me, especially when they were in pairs. The vehicle battles in H3, or at least what I watched, seemed tame, too tame. HOWEVER, I did really ENJOY finally seeing a Phantom get its ass kicked to hell and back!
I realize this is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic, but then anyone who reads my posts knew it would happen.......ramble ramble ramble ramble!Womy, you're back.
1 - Well it's a somewhat watered down Halo 2 with some improvements.
2 - They're even worse in Reach. But yes, they're not as funny or adorable as the cute H2 Grunts (Cowardly Grunt, "eat Jackal", "shh me hunting He-wa-tic").
But at least the Halo 3 Grunts are fun (in actions, not appearance or voice).
Some examples:
-Grunt jumping nonstop until I died and the cp reverted. No one knows why the Grunt jumps like this. There's some good ideas proposed in the comments. But wait, it gets cuter (is this even possible?!!!). A Jackal joined him earlier, at 1:23. :3
-Grunt heaving a vehicle on his back
-Grunt stranded on Titanic and sunk underwater
-33 Grunts on Sierra 117
-6, 7 kamikaze Grunts charging
-kamikaze Grunt chain
-Grunt in an infinite kamikaze with his arms lowered
-Grunt caught in a gravity lift
-sleeping Grunt caught in gravity lift
-unarmed Grunts via kamikaze action + Thunderstorm and Mythic skull
It's only a shame that future Grunts will likely appear ugly... :(
3 - Yes, the campaign missions are shorter but they have a lot to offer.
On Floodgate, you can do this launch with the hammer as well as saving all the Elites on Heroic and higher (by killing the combat forms before triggering the cutscene using the BR or Carbine) and arming all your Spec Ops Elites with swords. You can also push marines up the steps so they'll follow you and join the Elites.
4 - Yes, the vehicular battles are more tame. But that does not mean that there aren't any punishing vehicles around. The Prowler is a deceptively fast splatter machine. Choppers are a threat to marines in the passenger seat of a Prowler (on The Ark) and a threat to any vehicle smaller than the tanks.
If you really want some H3 action, you'll want to check out badcyborg.net.
Well I got carried away again...
You only get carried away because your H3 disk is glitchy XD
