Halo 3 tidbits

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Ah Red VS. Blue. The only good part about Halo.

Millions of people would disagree with that statement.

That's why I said it.

I figured as much

I almost took the flamebait just to feed the troll

But I didn't

Halo revolutionized the way FPS's where played on a CONSOLE (again key word) online. Sure you can say Sega had Quake 3 on the DC but that was so new back then not many people played it.

Yeah. I know what you're saying there. It really did change how FPS games were done on consoles and pretty much made the dual analog movement control scheme the norm for console FPS games. But of course, it didn't show people that FPS games could be done on consoles. I give that honor to either Perfect Dark or Goldeneye.

All they had to do was release another version of Street Fighter 2 to help pay for it...maybe add Amaterasu as a playable character? Suddenly I see Amaterasu peeing on Ken and Ryu...

Or how about another Resident Evil remake? That would work as well. And, Amaterasu doing his duty on Ken and Ryu would be the most incredible thing ever.

I'm loving the new feature in H3 to be able to save and playback your multiplayer games.

Do I see a YouTube like service for recorded Halo 3 videos and an editing suite available for download to add dialogue and edit them? Oh yes I sure do.

I am not saying it is the first or best just changed the way it was done. Where Perfect Dark or Goldeneye the same type of two sticks or a stick and pad movement?

I think Medal of Honor for the PS1 helped the dual-stick movement a lot. An awesome game even now that spawned countless sequels and clones.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Yeah, MoH had it first.

So who will buy the Halo 3 Zune? ($246)

LOL Zune. Looks good and all, but it's the freakin Zune. I wouldn't touch one of those with a 50 foot pole because it would probably infect me with DRM and I would only be able to repeat myself 3 times in 3 days. I apologize for the terrible joke.

However, I do really like how that Halo 3 edition looks.

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

Circuit City has a preorder offer, You get a 4' Master Chief wall graphic with Halo 3 preorder of Standard Edition or Limited Edition, but not with the Halo 3 Legendary Edition.
Link HERE.

[Tondog]

ROFL.

Way to go Circuit City! Milk those hardcore fans dry by not offering it with the Legendary (priced) edition. Now the hardcore Haloers will have to buy one of the other editions in addition to the Legendary (priced) edition in order to get that wall graphic they oh so much want.

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

You know the hardcore fans will buy a copy to play and a second copy to keep sealed.

[Tondog]

Yup. I bet they buy the (so called) Limited Edition to get that wall thing and to play and the Legendary (priced) to keep sealed.

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

Actually those really hardcore fans will probably buy all three versions of the game.

[Tondog]

Oh, of course! Would they buy all three versions twice though? I think so.

[phoenix1967]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
