Yea 30 would, but it would be nice for it to take time to beat. Maybe 25?

Hopefully Bungie won't have to cut much, if anything from the script like they had to do with Halo 2.

Long enough for it to be a good end to the game, something satisfying, nothing where you get mad that it is ending. Then going through the stages : Denial, Anger,....

about 10-15 would be fine. keep in mind they are probably going to make bigger maps for vehicles, and probably more dynamic maps for close combat (like an underground skyscraper or something cool like that (this is just my opinion, i have no clue what they are gonna do) )

I would like it to take at least 10 hours to beat on easy. That would make a nice, long game.

Personally, I would like to see the game take just around 15-20 hours to beat. I think that's about the perfect length for a game. Anything else is just way too short, and almost not worth it on the replay value. Halo 2 felt waaaaay short, and I remember beating it in just a few hours my first time through- terribly disappointing.

Oh, I thought you meant multiplayer, sorry.
Still, though, about 15 levels, unless they are longer than H2's.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

For multiplayer for campaign?

Campaign 8-14

Multiplayer 18-22

I agree that it should take a while to play through. But for it to have 30+levels the game would have to come on some 4+ discs. Most FPS on the 360 are very short because the discs don't hold much. The reason Halo CE seemed so repetative was because they had to use the same map over and over and over, they didn't have enough room on a disc for every room to be unique. They cut back on this in Halo 2 and ended up with a very short campaign and we still played through almost every map twice during the game. This is where Microsoft messed up on with the 360, they gave it a duel layer DVD-ROM. A duel layer DVD only holds about 8.4 GB. They should have went with an HD-DVD-ROM. HD-DVD's hold about 15GB single layer and 30GB duel layer. This would have gave more than enough room for longer games, but we would end up with a price close the the PS3. FYI Blu-Ray ROMs that can hold 50GB on a single disc. PS3 games will have 6 times the disc space of a 360 game to work with.

Sorry for getting off topic.

It should go out with a bang... 16 levels at least.

That's all the PS3 has going for them... Sorry had to get that out. Back on topic! :D

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Nobody really cares about Next Gen DVD's though.

Bungie never ran out of room for Halo 2, they just needed to cut things out to make the Deadline.

Disc space was never a problem on any Xbox or Xbox 360 game. For example, Oblivion took about 3.5 - 4GB. Read this article, and see that DVD-9 is plenty for this generation.

so the 360 use duellaer dvd rom? so what did the xbox use? normal dvd? and how much did dvd hold? 5 GB?

The Xbox and Xbox 360 both use DVD-9 discs, which hold 9 GB of data.

If they are going to make bigger levels, there still needs to be atleast 23 levels so there can be more environments to fight on and if there's heaps of levels that means that there will most likely be a bigger arsinal of weapons, vehicles and ect. So I think you're wrong to say Halo3 should only have about 15 levels which would be to short a game for Halo3, after all Halo3 is the last of the Halo triology and it needs to fix all the loose ends it left in Halo CE and Halo2; so it's going to need to have a more than big campaign and 23 or more levels would sit well with it. What say you.
