How would you describe the needler?

Needler was actually remarkably powerfull, I counted around four pairs of needles before I was gone

Is IGN fucking retarded?

I spotted wos-a-name from 1up in your middle photo. Did you guys get to square up with the 1up crew? Tell me you laid the smack down on them, right?

All I know is that if single player has me shooting the same 5 enemy types and running through the same TWO landscapes that i ran through in the first two Halos, then this game blows. I really hope Bungie didn't put all their effort into MP

God I hope my 360 gets back from MS repairs before the beta starts...

What makes it different than the other Halos, other that graphics and a few new weapons?

If it's just a graphics upgrade of the same game, I have no interest.

The public beta for the rest of us can't come soon enough....

So when is this coming to Wii or PS3? I only want to use next-gen controls to play my games.

Is the silly Halo 2 auto-aim feature at least disableable? (Wow. The Stripe = bad at words.)

Holy shit this actually looks quite good. Looks much faster paced and solid than the previous installments. It might actually not suck.

Words fail me. I need a 360 and Halo 3, STAT.

I dont understand what you people want...If they change to many things, it wont be halo and everyone will bitch...If they change too little people will say its the same game and dont want to play rehashed shit. So people make it sound like they dont want halo at all...Sequals arent meant to be completly different games, its halo and thats what you are going to play. Unreal tournament? Quake? POKEMON! They are all the same with very few changes and maybe a graphical overhaul in between each version.

Zoex, and anyone else who hates halo 2 i dont understand. You say

"Looks Halo 2'ish. I can not bitch enough about how much that game failed on so many levels for anyone that started on Halo 1. "

I played halo 1 since the day it came out, until the day halo 2 came out and i never went back except to play a few times on XBC with some old friends. It seems like the people who hate halo 2 say nothing but that they hate it...no reason why. I've seen some people say halo 2 doesnt take skill. Tell that to the people who are better at the game than you, the ones who make thousands of dollars a year for playing the game better than everyone else.

/end rant

"but there has never been auto aim in halo."

True. But in Halo 2, you'll notice that if you're aiming close to an enemy, it tries to pull your aiming reticle in that direction. Perhaps it's only on the lesser difficulty levels, because I only noticed it playing a little co-op with my n00b roommate last night. So, believe what you want, Halo 2 tried to aim for me.

CaptainBlue, your rant is silly. A good sequel to a game adds new features, reatians core ones, and generally makes itself a must have for people who love the other games in the series. Super Mario 3, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid, and Street Fighter 2 are all examples of this done will. The core is there, but enough is added to make a new, expanded, must have experience.

This does not appear to be such a sequel. The core is there, the graphics are better, and that's it. That means a lot of casual Halo fans will pass this up, as it is the same game with better graphics. There are many people who still play Halo 2 and don't feel a need to upgrade.

I don't think it will out do Gears, but the game looks fun and I'm looking forward to playing it.

Great, thanks, I needed to go home any ways. Now I have a reason to change my pants when I get in the door. Get all the spoogg out!!!!
