I started druling when I heard how cool the fencing is going to look like, And how about that water, will It be as good as the water in Half-life 2? By this I mean, will it have proper physics, will things be able to float on it? Can anyone say debris surfing? hell yes!

member since day 1

they said the campaign will follow the traditional 'esy, normal, heroic, legendary' settings as in the 1st two but will we get a secret '5th difficulty level' as an easter egg like Halo 2?

One thing i want to see on Legendary in Halo 3 is no more dieing from one shot by a beamrifle(damn Jackal snipers) in any part of Chief's body but his head. I know it was meant to make the game harder but COM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shot in the leg or arm and instantlly killed - makes no sance - at least two shots should do the trick - first will take shields down and the next will kill ya, I am not a noob don't get me wrong I only play Legendary when ever I play Halo and Halo 2 campaing and i'll bet I can teach Frankie a thing or two, but Legendary snipers in Halo 2 were a bit over the top, it would have made more sance for them to aim at Chief's or Arbiter's head and get an instant kill, plus the rate and accuracy they are firing with, two shots kill would have been enough for Legendary.(I think Snipers piss me off the most because i always try to save AI allies when ever i play campaing aka on Legendary I am doing opperation human shield for Mariens). The rest I trust will be awsome and I plan to start Halo 3's Campaing on Legendary too as soon as i get the game.

Ps. hope for the Jungle levels in Halo 3 - after all there are some in Africa right, but flying to South America could be fun too.

The End


Malcolmsun:

"Urgh my eyes. Use paragraphs please, and cut to the chase, it took me at least 10 lines before I got to your question.

Personally I think it would be great if people glitched the game, that way Bungie would be able to fix it, so that when the final version ships, there's less glitches for people to use/moan about/-blam!- about/flame about."


Well no offense but I don't really care about your eyes, as I was not asking you anything. Personally I think your opinion ranks amoung those that cheat the most. Yes lets Glitch because maybe we'll get a job testing glitches....WRONG ATITTUDE, if people of the community were more mature we wouldn't need to test because people would find it LAME to cheat their video game brothern in the game that XBOX LIVE made so easy to play, BUT NOOOO you feel the need to be superior standing next to your brothers, be the first to post or the first to exploit the game.....VANITY IS A SIN. in the afterlife we are punished for our sins not rewarded for them, and yes, CHEATING is a sin, to ruin the hard work of so many people (you read about it everyweek) for your own personal vandeta is a sin. So let me continue in my run-on paragraph and ask, why am I the one you tell how to paragraph when there are others that have done the same thing? I'm sure i'm not 1st to do this, it is because I'm talking to you, and you need to find any little thing you can about me, to try and make me look stupid and unvalidate my point, because you KNOW I'M RIGHT. YOU ARE A CHEAT. You cheat others into thinking that you are skillfully good at something you suck at. I'm sure you'll be one of the many people to beg the 1st exploiters into sharing their secrets, because I'm sure that your not smart enough to find the bugs yourself.

you mean like achiements now? and i think the gears of war way would be great, when they have an achiement for completing each level and the difficulty

I'm sure that you will get Achievement points for completing levels at different difficulties.

What I was refering to was a Feature in Halo 1 that is lacking in Halo 2 (and IMO could have been implemented).

In Halo 1, when you beat a Level, the difficulty Icon (or badge) appeared below the level name and description.

This way, you could tell your friends that you beat Halo on Legendary. When they said NO WAY!, you could show them the legendary badges you had on every level.

Currently, in Halo 2, you tell your friends that you beat it on legendary, and they just laugh at you, because the game is very hard on legendary (much harder than Halo 1 was), and you have no way of proving it instantly like you did in Halo 1.

So, I, and numerous other members of the community, would like the reinstatement of Difficulty badges to be displayed some way to indicate that a level was beaten with a certain difficulty.

-Sparky

-PS: Oh, and blood coming out of your enemies corpse when you smack them would be awesome too, another "feature" present in H1 that was lacking in H2. (only way to get blood to come out of an already dead enemy in Halo 2 was to shoot it)

Yes, I know that blood coming out of a downed enemy takes resources and processing power, but it was so cool!

you spoke of places on legendary in Halo and Halo2 where the player gets stuck and it is really hard. You should NOT get rid of those! Those are the parts that are the best, when its 2 in the morning and you call you're friend over "Hey, I'm stuck on a part in Halo3, help!" "I'll be right there." (that is hypothetical, never happened I swear) the parts where you must think up a strategy and play it out. It is really realistic actually: if, say, a military base was attacked and the marines there gathered into a room for orders of the counter-attack, that would be a very had room to clear if MC burst into the door, now wouldn't it.

also, to show your friends you beat it on legendary, just go to "edit profile" and it shows the farthest level you have beaten on the hardest difficulty youve beaten it on. :)

Sounds like the in game AI is going to be incredible!! Gameplay is going to be a lot harder w/ a lot more strategy (and a lot more fun). Does anyone know anything about how bungie is going to fit in achievments into Halo 3? That will put an interesting twist into bungie's greatest game.
