Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on September 24, 2007, 11:28:58 PM: I'll buy it this week end, I always suck at those first person shooters. I'm merely a bait when I play with my friends, and a source of frustration/insults for every member of my team when online. Gee we complain about ch200 ... should ear the vox on H2 servers :o

But I have fun playing offline ... I hope H3 will bring much more novelty than H2.

E-mail from my comp sci professor:
I want to be clear on this point, because several
people have asked me.
The release of HALO3, tonight, does NOT qualify
as a religious holiday.

As in 'worse than 1 &2?' with a 'mature' rating? no, actually I didn't realize that. I'll hop over to a friends house & check theirs out before buying it. I appreciate you having said that Frenchy. I wouldn't have thought it to be any worse than the first two and purchased it without even looking at that.

I concur. Almost everything is better on the PC.

I played Halo 2 on XP last night. Not all is lost.

Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on September 25, 2007, 10:21:26 PM: Halo 2 was a disapointment to the Halo comunauty, too alike as H1.

Halo 3 is suppose to introduce much more AI/Gameplay enhancements. I fail to see why it's rated "M", and not PG13. It seems it's only for violence, and some occasional "SOB", not even the F word. How violent can cartoony aliens be?

Post by: Golfer on September 26, 2007, 12:55:19 AM: That explains why the lamer gamer guys were out in force yesterday at every gamespot. We were cruising around at 1am or so looking for a still open bar when we saw a gaggle off legal drinking age appearing folks leaving one of the stores. We rolled up and asked where the closest bar was and not one of them had a clue.

Later as we passed 2-3 different GameSpot stores we figured out that we'd clearly been asking the way wrong crowd where we could find alcohol and women.

Post by: Mathman on September 27, 2007, 03:18:02 PM: Halo 3 is actually pretty good. Much like all the FPS games that have come out on the PC in the past like Quake and Unreal. I still think Half Life is the best single player experience for an FPS.

While I enjoy playing FPS games a bit more on the PC (I think the controls on the PC are far and away better than what you find in a console), the latest FPS games are pretty slick. Rainbow Six Vegas is a fun game on the 360. Halo 3 is a very good game. I don't play it online, but it is fun split screen with my friends. Oh, and they look fantastic when played on a 42" widescreen.

All that being said, in my opinion, sports games, i.e. football and basketball, are much better on a console than a PC.

I noticed too, there is some cussing but I have seen worse on T rated games, although now that arms are going to be ripped of people and blood gushing everywhere M may sort of kinda maybe be suiting.

That kind of violence is nothing compared to other games.
