Not really, you wasted an extra $70 for a helmet and some other crap you don't need.

Stop taking cheap shots, please.

Also, as everyone has already pointed out, the Legendary Edition was the one that was $130 and came with a helmet. This topic is referring to the $70 Collector's Edition.
 
Re: halo 3 collectors is not a collection item

Yes, yes, I realized that. It's kinda hard to keep track of all the versions, especially since Strubes threw me off with saying he got Legendary, lol.

Halo 3 game types

how do i create them like in halo 2?

i can edit all of the options and everything on the game screen, but how do i save them to keep them forevor?

this game is a lot more complicated than halo 2 :?
 
Re: Halo 3 game types

i had a hard time just playing online. seems like they wanted to make it as hard as possible. maybe to keep all the pre-pubescent 9 year olds out :lol

Didja try the...instruction manual?

yes

not in there

i figured it out btw, not we have a new problem

have any of you had trouble making system link work? this doesnt just go for halo 3, it goes for EVERY xbox 360 game, including gears, cod3, etc. we cant get any of them to work, but when we pop in halo 2 in our 360s, it works flawlessly

anyone help?
 
Re: Halo 3 game types

I'm going to take another wild guess and say then it's something to do with the 360. *shockhorror* Just let it sink it for a minute and try to understand it.
 
Re: Halo 3 Review

As promised I've done a review. And is non bias by any means.


Graphics:
For a Xbox 360 game Halo 3 is a good looking game. But with the other games out there like Bioshock and Gears of War it doesn't look like one of the best and it could've looked better. There were also some frame-rate issues but, none too noticeable. The Bungie team did some great work with level design and some of the new weapon/vehicles look great. It would've been nice to see Halo using the Unreal 3 engine.
Graphics: 8.5

Sound:
Bungie has always had a great sound design when it comes to their games and Halo 3 doesn't disappoint when it comes to sound. The games score was amazing to listen to and when the action picks up the music follows through was nice. Again not as good as some other games such as Bioshock and Heavenly Sword but, definitely one of the best sound productions in a game.
Sound: 9.5

Gameplay:
Halo 3 has alot of gameplay from the other games and some new aspects. Its faster and has become more strategic than the other 2. With the 4 player online co-op and the inclusion of co-op scoring it made it feel like an old arcade game from back in the day which was a very nice feel. Multiplayer is the same as ever but, with the inclusion of Forge, customizable characters, maps, weapons, and vehicles. It felt the same but, then again it felt kinda new.
Gameplay: 9

Story:
Halo 3 is the best Halo game out of the franchise which in many eyes isn't that hard to do. The story in 3 was far more compelling than the other 2. And the way it "wraps up" the series was very nice. And it had some nice throw backs to the books which in my eye was awesome. It also had some nice plot twists in the game which is always nice to have. But it was a tad bit short.
Story: 8

Fun Factor:
Basically if you've had fun with any console FPS you'll have fun with Halo 3. It has the works when it comes to multiplayer(co-op and all the others). The campaign is also very fun especially if you've got a buddy or a few of them to just sit back and play co-op on Legendary. It was also very fun just to go on Forge and just mess around with everything.
Fun Factor: 9

Overall:
With all the hype it was hard not to get into Halo 3 before it came out. Well now its out and most have experienced it. If you're one of those that said Halo 3 was gunna bomb(myself included) you're sadly mistaken. But, it is not game of the year. Overall its a buy if you have XBL and rent if you don't have XBL or many friends.
Overall: 88%
 
Re: Halo 3 Review

Have you played with Theater mode? When you play in Theater mode you see how awesome the graphics really are, especially when you stop time and just zoom in on something. :)
 
Re: Halo 3 Review

It's a buy/rent? That's like, the most obvious thing ever. 'You can buy it or rent it' Oh, thanks for that. Still an honest review, with a score below 90.

I meant rent if u don't have live or many friends.

I haven't seen many under 90 which isn't surprising.

Good reviews everybody. Of course, I wasn't exactly surprised by GM's score, lol...

Ugh, I hate the way they are organized though. >_>

Sorry I actually like doing reviews in that format. Once I get a recorder going I'm gunna start making video reviews
