Thoughts on Halo 3
Remz | 6:13 AM on 10.02.2007 21 comments


So anyway... These last few days I've been playing these Halos that everyone seems to be talking aboots. Don't really feel like writing much though, but I will say this.

The multiplayer fucking rules. Any game that uploads stats so the Entire internet can see how hard I suck is quite sweet and it's not horribly broken like Halo 2 either, joy!

On the other hand, I can barely bring myself to play trough the first level of singleplayer. So dull, I mean shit. That forest filled with camping jackels just screamed meh. I was expected an ass kicking beginning to the finale but instead i got a stroll through the woods. Couldn't they have started the game up wherever the fuck the chief was before he fell from fucking space. I mean what the fuck? That didn't even make sense. Someone said something about some plot explaining comics and shit but still, I don't want to read a series of comics and novels just so I can figure out what happened between two games. But anyway, I guess solid single player is what Bioshock is for.

Bah.

The story gets better. I didn't think it was all that bad.
Remz's Destructoid Blog
That's good to hear.

I suppose I can't really judge shit from only the first hour or so of the game. Might go back to it soon.
ajaxender's Destructoid Blog
The first level... gets better. Thats the one were you rescue the guys from the dam, right? I found the last bit good fun.

Anyway, its all worth it (guaranteed) when you kill a scarab. Oh, also, i noticed while playing through again by myself (first play through was with my brother) the game is pretty much designed for co-op. I reccomend it.

....
wait... you are lambasting a games single player because of the first five minutes?
literally within five minutes of the campaign it is the epitomy of awesome.
you save marines on a dam from some brute charges and have to fight drop ship upon drop ship of enemies...

whatever, I'll enjoy my 1000 gamerscore with my katana on the back of my marathon armor...

NOOOOO. Not another Halo 3 blog. When will they end. Incidently the single player is completely dull. I suppose the multiplayer is slightly better if all your friends play it and you like that sort of thing.

Incidently a good word to say about Halo 3 follows suit of ajaxender scarab comment. That was pretty cool. I didn't mind the last level too much either, as anti-climatic as it was.

To each their own, dangale. I take it youre not a huge fan of the gameplay of halo, but thats fine, not everyone is. Glad to see youre not just another halo-basher who misses the good points though.
DanGale's Destructoid Blog
I just loved how you could see a scarab coming from miles away and you were like "HOLY SHIT! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING!" It was challenging as well. A bit of a mini-boss. That's what I felt Halo 3 really lacked, bosses.
Remz's Destructoid Blog
To be honest, I've played up until the Ark in coop. But I'll be damned if it doesn't suck whilst played be yourself.

Man.... 0.78?

You do suck.
Remz's Destructoid Blog
Yeah.
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Also make sure you start the game on legendary if you want the full experience.

Here's a more interesting fact:

What the fuck is a Steaktacular medal, and why do I have one?
Remz's Destructoid Blog
not a fact...
blehman's Destructoid Blog
I'm with you DanGale. I've been bitching on most of these horribly c-blog consuming Halo3 posts aboot the lack of any kinda boss battle. Where's the f'n last boss?
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Are there any boss battles in real life? They wanted Halo to be like real life....except in the future.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
@Remz

I Steaktacular occurs when you are on a team that beats the other team by 20 or more points. It's called that because Luck Smith of 1up Yours fame now working for Bungie beat someone a steak dinner that he and his team could beat the other by 20 points of more.

Why do I know this? Because I have a long ass commute to work and I listen to a shitload of podcast. Speaking of which, how's D-Toid's podcast? I only listened once and I had no clue what was going on.
Remz's Destructoid Blog
Aha. Right-o.

Must've got that from that game of shotty snipers on Valhalla.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Oh yes, they wanted halo to be like real life. Hence, they thought putting Audrey 2 in the second one, and having the protagonist drop in from outer space to "finish the fight" would be just like real life.

Right.
CarlostheJackal's Destructoid Blog
Multiplayer is the whole game, also being able to alter the maps is insane. My boys and I have been making some crazy fun maps, low gravity and all kins of things...great fun.
