Halo 3!

This is why a lot of talented developers don't go into game development, BTW. "Smart" gamers pirating games mean it's better sense to work in financial services than make games.

Nice work, sn00000py, your smartness is stupid.

I don't pirate often. If I am intrigued by a game, but am not sure how good it is (the new settlers for example) I will download it to give it a test, if its good enough, I'll buy it. (for the box and to support).

What I do pirate is abandonware, because I can't get things like Space Quest or whatever out here in Singapore.

That's right, Asher just wants someone to pwn (though Agathon's back, so I don't see why he needs to keep posting as Wiglaf...)

Given the rankings I've seen on some players, several have spent 4-6 a day since release...

That's not much.

I agree. I played a bit more Halo 2 when it came out.

Now that the game has been out a while, some cool user screenshots (posted to bungie.net) are coming out:

Err. They're not pre-rendered. They're taken from the Theatre mode (viewing any single player/multi player game after it's complete, where you can move the camera and take screenshots).

Any player can take screenshots, and they get uploaded to bungie.net where you can share 'em (as these people have).

I'm glad you think so highly of the graphics.

I'm glad you think so highly of QW screenshot.


I really like the 3rd screenshot, can you run out to the desert or is it just a background? Is that background actually modelled, or just a texture?

[FrostyBoy]

Another thing I notice about Halo 3 shots is that they are very sharp and clean, why is that exactly?

[Asher]

The screenshots get AA applied to them.

Well, I finally got around to finishing the campaign and played some multiplayer with friends. The campaign is OK, but disappointing at the end.

The multiplayer is also OK..... unless you've played Warhawk, which chews and spits Halo 3 out.

Verdict: it's a fairly good game, but overhyped, and is certainly not the best game on the 360, let alone on any console.

What is your Gamertag / Bungie.net account?

I'm willing to put good money on you playing 1 or 2 multiplayer games at most.

Warhawk.
