My response
1). The battle rifle is no pistol, that is for sure. And the game changes significantly when you have host on XBL when using it. Pistol makes more sense because every hit would register to where your accuracy goes way down with a bad connection.
2). This was a problem, because it was over powering and too easy to use. Why is that? Because when your against it, there really isn't a lot of weapons to counter it because they are all weak.
3). Playing as a covenant is fine, as long as their is choice. Don't force us to play as someone in campaign, make it a bonus after the game, to play it threw as a covie. And lets us kill a few humans while we are at it. How pathetic was that? Your a covie, but you don't run into ONE human???
4). Ending sucked only because the game was too short, and well lets face it, Champaign sucked. It just did, none of the levels were exciting at all really
5). Same reason I stopped playing XBL, took away all the fun. If it continues over to Halo 3. Make a match making set or something were cheaters can play against cheaters. If they play anywhere else they are gone. If a cheater continues to cheat. BLOCK THE I.P. Address or something to permanently ban them. No more free trails, You have to pay to sign up, and pay to cancel if your a cheater. Get with Microsoft to end their membership, and block their credit card numbers. They will sooner or later run out of those also.

Man no one is forcing you to buy this game. If you don't whant to buy it then just craw under a rock and leave us alone. And man, the only reason you don't like the BR is becuase you probably get owned with it all the time.


I agree completely. I used to hate the BR because i got raped by it. but then after using it i think it is the best gun in the game. very balanced

Well who says that halo 3 is going to be exactly the same as halo 2? You should give it a chance at least...... And by the way youll be "forking" over another sixty bucks for another cliff hanger, as the 360's games cost $59.99

actually..since this is a first party game...it will only be 50 dollars...

I actualy agree with you, if the game is going to be more like halo 2 then it was halo 1, then there's no way in hell I'm buying it. I'd rather play a bad looking skill based fps than a good looking, auto aim, noobified fps.

  • 05.29.2006 12:18 AM PDT

There are many other great games coming out for you to buy a 360. Halo 3 isnt the only reason

It is the end of a great trilogy and I really want to see what heppens,how it happens and why it happens... The time between the end of Halo 2 and the beginning of Halo 3 trailer left alot of unanswered questions.

But aside from campaign, I think MP is going to be awesome.

Well I am afraid what you want for Halo 3 is what I am praying never is considered. While it is just constrasting views I think playing as a grunt would be the worst thing in the world and such other things you suggested I would group with that.

The Br is just diffirent, if you want the pistol and AR play HCE.


Finally, Arbiter > Cheif in my opinion. Depth and story > GrUnT pWnAg3!!!

H3y, I wanta play as a GrUn7! Yay! Run around with PP as starting weapon!!! w00t! Die in two shots!!! YAY!


Sound pretty stupid? Thought so.

Halo is about playing the pivitol role, the Master Chief has the hopes of all Mankind on his soldiers, the Arbiter is out to extract revenge on the Brutes.
Why would you want to play as something piss weak?
As for Hunters, it would get pretty darn boring pretty darn quick being limited to one weapon the whole time.

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

Ofcourse someone are dissing Arbiter, because hes an alien, its not natural to play as an sangheili when we are humans. but hes cool and has something to add to the story. Halo 2 had a too short campaign IMO, some got confused by the story thanks to the swapping between the Arbiter and MC. I didnt have any problemos with the story, it was just to play it several times to understand. Even if the camp is too short Im still playing it on any difficulty because its so fun, so addictive and so cool! Halo is a story based FPS, not a mindless shooter like doom or quake. And thats what makes the Halo saga amongst the most unique and balanced games ever, creepy and funny at the same time. Second Arbiter will be in campaign this time around to,, the good old weapons too. Even the classic AR since its in the Halo 3 weapon, and I hope the BF is in too its just lame to leave one weapon out for another.I hope every single weapon from both games are in H3 but the big challenge is to balance them all.
Halo 3 will be yet another great Halo 3, I really doubt otherwise because Halo is the most unique game I have ever played and as long Microsoft dosent lay pressure on Bungie for earning fast cash on a game that must ship ASAP because of some mindless fans that wants a mindless shooter this saga will not go down in oblivion, thats for sure.

Bungie, for the sake of all sakes, take your time! While we're at it, dish in a couple more Arby levels and knock ol' Chiefy into a corner.

I love how you people rave about the battle rifle because it's "so realistic and balanced."

Yeah....because clearly a 7-foot tall guy in a suit of indestructible armor fighting a race of aliens practically single-handedly is pretty realistic. And the needler....that's SO realistic.

Halo is not dependent on realism, folks. It's a freaking science FICTION game. All I'm saying is maybe a few of you sheep should question what's being produced before you compulsively flock to Gamestop to pre-order this game.

Don't get me wrong, I hope with all of you that this game totally rocks. Only time will tell.

ALL YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE RUBBISH, ALTHOUGHT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY A XBOX 360 YOU WON'T PLAY HALO 3 AND THAT IS VERY SAD.
I DIDN'T BUY XBOX 360 ONLY FOR HALO 3, I BOUGHT BECAUSE IS THE BEST CONSOLE IN THE WORLD AND IS THE ONE WHERE THE GAMES HAVE THE BEST GRAPHICS.

To me, a cliffhanger was appropriate for Halo 2. Great way to end the second part of a trilogy.


Yeah! Just like the end of Back to the Future 2!

i like the battle rifle a little, but it needs to be more scarce in MP cuz everyone uses it (MLG practically would kill babies to keep it). i know its a good weapon but BR only matches is what it's comming to and that takes a lot of replay value out of the game.

and as far as Halo 3 goes, im going to buy it and i bet you will too. u will at least play it. every1 who liked either halo 1 or 2 (or both) will play halo 3 when they get the chance.

  • 05.31.2006 10:16 AM PDT

I agree. I think the BR should use less MP. I only carry 3 ether's with me at a time into battle and the BR uses like all my MP's up in the first 30 seconds.
