Bungie Introduces Two New Playable Characters for Campaign
bungie.net — This along with the official announcement of 4player online co-op.
- 1253 diggs
- digg it
- jblade, on 10/10/2007, -4/+33Sweet!
- djh816, on 10/10/2007, -27/+11How about letting people use their own characters in campaign rather than forcing player 1 to be MC, 2 to be Arbiter...etc? Bungies reason? "Fictional Reasons". Big whoop, they may have identical armor. Who cares?
- bs0l, on 10/10/2007, -19/+6Why the hell would anyone digg him down? Did you actually like the ***** arbiter in Halo 2? Playing as an elite sucks. They're gay and the gameplay is a lot worse. I'd much rather have four master chiefs than 1 master chief and 3 elites.
The idea is stupid, but 4 player co-op online or on system link is pro.- RockTheWall, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15Yea, okay, those Elites are definitely gay. I can totally see them all fornicating with members of their own sex without exception.
Honestly, shut up. It's people like you who make this an inhospitable world for people who have to summon all their courage just to talk openly about who they are.
And your inexcusable homophobia aside, perhaps you missed the part of the article that mentions that they're identical characters in terms of gameplay and they only look different to avoid the nonsensical existence of four Master Chiefs. - smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4dude, they have the same ***** stats, they just start with different guns. it says so in TFA. stop crying about it.

- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3I can guarantee that there are going to be a hell of a lot of people hosting in order to be Master Chief but nobody joining because they don't want to play as an Elite.
Seriously, why three Elite's and only one human character? 4 player co-op is cool as hell but it's going to take FOREVER to get a group together if there's only one Spartan. I mean, does anyone even like playing as an Elite in Halo 2 Multiplayer?- jggr, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1*nod* Not sure why they're doing this. I know it's the MC, and as per the story line he's the last of the breed... But c'mon. The Elite was not why I play Halo. I play it 'cause I'm a bad-ass cyborg kicking alien ass... Why would I want to play the second best?
Meh, I'll still buy it, in the hopes it doesn't suck as much as H2.- smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1your character model doesn't change the gameplay. having 4 different players actually allows you to choose different weapons to start with and tell each other apart more easily. aside from that, they all have the same stats so regardless of who you choose you will experience the same exact gameplay. unless you're 12 i don't see what the problem is.
- jggr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What does my age have to do with it? What, just 'cause I'm over 30 I can no longer enjoy suspending my reality for another?
And from H2, the elite and MC had different capabilities.. Flashlight and cloak for one. And that stupid clopping sound of the elite's hooves.
- jggr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What does my age have to do with it? What, just 'cause I'm over 30 I can no longer enjoy suspending my reality for another?

- navster15, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well, they could do it like Gears of War and have Achievements for people who join co-op games. My guess is people will put aside their vanity in order to increase their Gamerscore.
- jggr, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1*nod* Not sure why they're doing this. I know it's the MC, and as per the story line he's the last of the breed... But c'mon. The Elite was not why I play Halo. I play it 'cause I'm a bad-ass cyborg kicking alien ass... Why would I want to play the second best?
- Slacker101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I was hoping to play as a marine at least.
- djh816, on 10/10/2007, -27/+11How about letting people use their own characters in campaign rather than forcing player 1 to be MC, 2 to be Arbiter...etc? Bungies reason? "Fictional Reasons". Big whoop, they may have identical armor. Who cares?
- TheGreyArea, on 10/10/2007, -71/+8Neat.
Too bad this doesn't make the franchise as a whole suck any less.- Eshestun, on 10/10/2007, -28/+4I agree. Overhyped game, overhyped series.
- rnnbob, on 10/10/2007, -13/+3All that hype is whats lining their pockets.
- Ortega08, on 10/10/2007, -6/+25Overhyped? Halo is one of the best if not the best FPS game to have ever come out, and there are millions of people that agree with me.
- nobiology, on 10/10/2007, -12/+3please tell me you're talking about on consoles...
- coldwind777, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5Yeah, dude. As good as Halo may be, there's no way it's the best FPS game to ever come out. I've always felt that Half-Life has, for a long time, been a better series of games than Halo.
- imikedaman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Must you whiners start this this discussion in every Halo, Xbox 360, or FPS-related article on digg?
- Eshestun, on 10/10/2007, -28/+4I agree. Overhyped game, overhyped series.
- modifiedbears, on 10/10/2007, -4/+73The headline and description really should be swapped.
Anyway, this feature alone cements this game as game of the year for me.- austin63, on 10/10/2007, -19/+2Seriously, bury and repost
- Greyline108, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10There are already enough "4 player online co-op" included headlines. This one at least points out stuff you wouldn't find by scrollng down a bit
- maracle2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1well the 4 player co--op was already a popular story so switching the titles would make it a dupe
- hokeywebb22, on 10/10/2007, -21/+4So I guess that means that you will always have a group of 4 characters even while in single player. I was hoping for a story more like halo 1 where Master Chief just kicks ass by himself and doesn't need any help.
- Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I highly doubt that, if you read the article it says that the only way co-op will work is if you join a lobby beforehand, so that means no joining in the middle of a game.
- nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6 it doesn't necessarily mean that in the slightest, but it's a possibility.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I doubt this means you will have 4 characters all the time unless you are playing 4-person co-op. Those last two characters seem more tacked on because they were needed than they seem detailed characters essential to the plot.
- yarrrjun, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0i don't think it's necessarily true that you'll constantly have four player characters while in single player, but a lot the reason people thought Halo: CE was awesome was because of the AI sidekicks. i know that if i had to play the entire thing all by myself, i would have gotten really bored really quickly, since the running speeds are SOOOO SLOWWWW. the AI sidekicks made it worthwhile for me. and from the previews it looks like you'll have a gang of Marines watching your back a lot of the time, especially on the battlefields.
- kinseyincanada, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1actually hes probably right, in the clips from E3, the movie showed Master Chief and the Arbiter fighting side by side in the single player, the fact that bungie has given them a backstroy means the most likely they will be in single player.
- Uranium118, on 10/10/2007, -11/+15I'll play as Master Chief, balloon headed aliens are too easy to headshot.
- rstarr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Except they are damn near impossible to rear-face headshot.
- tidu, on 10/10/2007, -11/+1Don't worry, it'll turn out just like Halo 2 where you can tell who is less than 13 years old because they use the elite model.
- Scheissen, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1I hope to god no. Halo2 sucks.
- rstarr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I happen to use an Elite and proud of it. We're like the left handed batter. I face right-handers all day and so do you, but the lefty will shake you, better or worse, you still get shook.
- Sornos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Apparently, they fixed that now.
- JeremyBanks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I don't think it makes a difference to the NPCs you'll be facing, since this is campaign.
- davin510, on 10/10/2007, -3/+83now i just gotta find 3 friends...
- thegallery, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1or rather, make 3 friends.
- The0, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29Sweeeeeeeeeeet.....
I think it would have been cooler if you were all Spartans, but each had different helmets/armor. I just feel so much more badass playing as a Spartan. Or if it was at least 2 Spartans and 2 Elites. But whatever. 4 PLAYER CO-OP!- zzz@tkz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This fits in the story line, if they had other SPARTANs, they'd first have to find the others :).
- The0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oh yeah, I totally understand that, but my guess is a majority of people playing co-op (myself included) aren't going to care whether more than one Spartan fits into the storyline, they are mostly going to care that 4-player online co-op is teh 3p1c r0xx0rz. But I'm sure once I start actually playing, I won't care anymore, and my thoughts will also consist solely of said 13375p33k thoughts.
- maracle2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What if the do a switcheroo like in Halo 2 as playing as the arbiter, when you get to the point in the story where you find other Spartans, you switch over and play as them.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I wish people could just play using their multiplayer character. Halo co-op has never had to tie in with the fiction before... This is just going to ruin the co-op side of things for me.
- zzz@tkz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This fits in the story line, if they had other SPARTANs, they'd first have to find the others :).
- KamikazeBanzai, on 10/10/2007, -21/+6Ten years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3This is an SOS distress call from the mining ship Red Dwarf. The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors were Dave Lister, who was in suspended animation during the disaster and his pregnant cat who was safely sealed in the hold. Revived 3 million years later Lister's only companions are a lifeform who evolved from his cat and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram simulation of one of the dead crew. I am Holly, the ships computer with an IQ of 6000, the same IQ as 6000 PE teachers.
- MoeB, on 10/10/2007, -10/+5Do yourself a favour and play this game single player first.
- Eshestun, on 10/10/2007, -21/+2Or don't play it at all. Overhyped garbage.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Haha... you're just pissed because you spent $600 instead on a console with no worthwhile games for at least another 8 months to a year.
- NYC10004, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nobi-Wan is right man. You sound a little bitter.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh... thanks for pointing that out. I guess Ill go cancel my pre-order.
- Eshestun, on 10/10/2007, -21/+2Or don't play it at all. Overhyped garbage.
- karmakungfu, on 10/10/2007, -9/+28I like how people know this story is about Halo without the name appearing anywhere in the title or description. Neat!
- vagarach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Bungie pretty much is synonymous with "Halo".
- rook441, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1haha didn't even notice that - nice
- cvh™, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They could have read the article, but that cant be true...
- neiltc13, on 10/10/2007, -35/+3Why does the Halo series get so much publicity?
It's a VERY VERY generic shooter which has really not changed very much at all since introduction. At least with other shooters developers try to change things but here they keep the same characters, the same weapons and the same grainy look.- tmyprod, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16You go to hell.
You go to hell and you die. - MillionsLivio, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Shut up.
- brerfrog, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I have no clue what your talking about when you say grainy, and there are at least 3 or 4 new vehicles, and many more weapons for Halo 3. The characters are mostly the same because it is a story, it's like saying Star Wars story sucked because it had a lot of the same characters, vehicles and weapons. The story itself has completely changed and evolved over the trilogy in both examples.
As far as being a generic shooter, your right it is very very simple. No advanced cover modes or weapon load-outs no button combos. That's what lots of people love about it, its very easy to just pick up and have fun. Look at the sales of the wii, the ability to just come home after a long day, pick up a controller and jump right in is the "in" thing. - vagarach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The thing is, Halo is very high quality game, of the fps type, for console gamers, and it even has a great storyline. What is there not to like, to excited about?
- Eshestun, on 10/10/2007, -13/+1I agree wholeheartedly, Overhyped and very generic.
Now let's bring back some real innovative FPS's like Half life- cvh™, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I feel that it is the other way around. Half life is, in my opinion, overhyped with " oooo... look at the grafix looool. It beats Halo handz dwn ffs!!!!1!!!two!!? " . Dont get me wrong. I love the story in HL2, but you can't play it over and over. For me that franchise is only playable once. The universe of Halo is so much more flexible with so many options.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Guys, guys!
Read neiltc13's comment again! He was obviously talking about Resistance and got mixed up. Geez. - masterskill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Because it's fun. You may not think so, buts its obvious a lot of people do. You play what you enjoy, and we play what we enjoy, ok? Ok.
- tmyprod, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16You go to hell.
- enginbeering, on 10/10/2007, -4/+66I like how the title/description doesn't even mention the game title, yet everyone knows.
- Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3It's called reading the ***** article.
- CharliesRevenge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That wasn't what Puppetfunk was getting at.
Good attempt though.
- CharliesRevenge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That wasn't what Puppetfunk was getting at.
- davin510, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Yeah. I tried to think of another game developed by Bungie off the top of my head; I failed.
- Crumbeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7pimps at sea
- Acglaphotis, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1marathon... it sucked though.
- Acglaphotis, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1marathon... it sucked though.
- ThE0eNiGmA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Guess you never heard of Marathon, then?
- Crumbeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7pimps at sea
- kinseyincanada, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3oni
- rook441, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2oni was actually pretty good
- Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3It's called reading the ***** article.
- jeepnut24, on 10/10/2007, -15/+2Wait this sounds like.... BRUTE FORCE.... Crap...
/sarcasm- Reedan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3buried for even bringing that abomination up
- slinky317, on 10/10/2007, -30/+4Halo is overrated.
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -14/+2It is. And we're going to be massacured by Halo fanboys for pointing it out..
- Reedan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh you poor oppressed soul
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Honestly. The series is overrated. The original was just that. It was new, fun and was intriguing and then Bungie just went downhill.
Everybody wanted the pistol and AR back from Combat Evolved, and now Bungie brought them back to get everyone "hyped".
And then the beta comes out and people are impressed, but the excitement is nearly exhausted, so in comes the rumors of co-op failure
and POOF that was a rouse to get everyone pumped for the game again by bringing it back.
Now I'm not a Ps3 fanboy but theirs' a reason why Killzone 2 is so dubed the Halo killer.
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Honestly. The series is overrated. The original was just that. It was new, fun and was intriguing and then Bungie just went downhill.
- Reedan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh you poor oppressed soul
- Eshestun, on 10/10/2007, -15/+2Agreed. Overrated and generic.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Uh, generic in what way? Feel free to explain.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Exactly. And while you're at it please let us know what the hell type of FPS games youre playing. They must be out of this world awesome if you can label Halo (one of the best, of the best FPS games) as generic.
- JudgeMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ya know what. It doesn't matter if it's over rated. This article is in regard to an announcement about it's co-op feature. Not if it's a good game or not. Maybe this bull **** could be a valid comment about what the game gets score wise in reviews, but here? It simply does not apply to the discussion.
So, if you would be so kind, please back up into Richard Simmon's lap.- slinky317, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Oh no, did I offend you, Halo fan-boy? Please, give me a break. Halo is a generic shooter with a bad plot that just keeps dragging and dragging.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well we basically dont give a ***** what you think because we KNOW that Halo is a great game. You run along and play whatever games it is that you like to play and stop coming in here like you're trying to prove a point.
You dont like Halo? Dont play it... simple.
No-one cares what you think.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well we basically dont give a ***** what you think because we KNOW that Halo is a great game. You run along and play whatever games it is that you like to play and stop coming in here like you're trying to prove a point.
- slinky317, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Oh no, did I offend you, Halo fan-boy? Please, give me a break. Halo is a generic shooter with a bad plot that just keeps dragging and dragging.
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -14/+2It is. And we're going to be massacured by Halo fanboys for pointing it out..
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -13/+4Elites blow, bring in the other Spartans if anything.
I'm glad for the co-op but the Arbiter and his alien comrades aren't as tough
as the Spartans. Where the hell is Fred? Linda? etc etc.
(by the way, the story has steadily fallen since Combat Evolved, they should have left it humans vs. covenant and made NEW environments for the other games, instead of finding another Halo. But lets ruin the second game and only make two levels on earth... *sigh* )- lacronicus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3you mean like how theyre trapped in a dyson sphere with no direct connection to the outside world? and the rest of the spartans are dead or with them save john? and how if they stayed on earth, you could have never reintroduced the flood, and thus, much of the story, which, aside from the MP, is what carries halo?
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1the flood = stupid (waste of bigger, better aliens)
sphere = shows how dumb the story is getting...
spartans = aren't all dead and are still being "produced"
I've read the books knob, and they're good. It's just the fact that Halo fans have to consult the books to know what the hells going on.
Going back to a second Halo in the series, was like taking the dinosaurs out of Turok: ruined it.
*produced* stolen from parents, clones are sent back and children are trained at age of 4
Now Bungie is saving the name, with co-op and bringing back combat Evolved Weapons.
- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1the flood = stupid (waste of bigger, better aliens)
- lacronicus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3you mean like how theyre trapped in a dyson sphere with no direct connection to the outside world? and the rest of the spartans are dead or with them save john? and how if they stayed on earth, you could have never reintroduced the flood, and thus, much of the story, which, aside from the MP, is what carries halo?
- Proctor, on 10/10/2007, -37/+1Buried for being the ***** game ever made. Also for the lack of graphic changes, and indeed a graphic decrease from 1 to 2. I'm guessing Halo 3 wont look much better than Super Mario Brothers 3.
- Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15I guess that's true....if you're ***** blind.
- Ortega08, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6***** game ever made? Have you even played Halo and if you have, the reason you think it's ***** is probably because you suck at it.
- DotKenneth, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13I am by no means a Halo fan, almost the opposite, even though that seems to be blasphemy if you're a Microsoft console owner. However, I love co-op in general, and this is the announcement I was waiting for. Offline co-op wasn't going to cut it for me and since they avoided announcing online I kind of though this wasn't happening. So believe it or not there may still be opportunities for Bungie to draw in some new, though late, fans.
- Chrino, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7http://www.bungie.net/images/News/InlineImages2007/4pFTWBIG.jpg
Wallpapered- Cloud7654, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ha, look at the Arbiter thinking he's all tough with his PP + PR combo, while everyone around him has rifles.
- Seraph, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2I agree with a couple of others above. I love the feature. I think it will be awesome, but adding three covenant characters? Come on. No wants to play as the lame ass Arbiter or any other elite.
- dstrack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3*Sigh*/relief that there is co-op. 4 player Co-op even better.
- thePheonix9, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12I love Bungie Studios.
- Dunge, on 10/10/2007, -14/+1Correction: You loved Bungie when they were making good games before Microsoft bough their ass and started making Halo2-3-4-5-6-7-8 who are all the same as the first one.
- thePheonix9, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Eh, I disagree. I think Halo's a great franchise. I'm not fond of all of the affectionately called "swag" MS is churning out, but each Halo game has been considerably different from the previous. In fact, the differences of Halo 2 and Halo 1 still spark a lot of debate, mostly from the "hardcore MLG players" who refuse to adjust to a different game. Halo 3 seems to have fixed a lot of Halo 2's problems, and there were a lot of problems. The inclusion of 4 player online co-op is just another feature Bungie's integrating to create a different and better game.
/Bungie fan-ism- Ravenlockheart, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'd def agree with you on that my friend.... I mean I loved Halo 2 and I loved Halo 1.... Halo 3 on the other hand I think is going to be way cooler then both I have a feeling....

- thekronz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Sounds good, but I really didn't like playing as the Elite. Is this really that good of an idea? I'd much rather kick ass with Master Chief and the Marines.
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It sounds like all the characters will play exactly the same, as if they were all master chiefs. The only difference will be the starting weapons you spawn with, and the character model.
- ShiningToast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Meh, the marines don't have shields and their skeletons can't handle MJOLNIR armor. So whoever is MC would be babysitting the whole time.
- saltinekracka20, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Im sure this plays into the story and thats the only reason they did it the way they did.
- Gunsotsu, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15And Sony get's to play co-op in what exactly?
Yeah, that's what I thought. BOOM! Headshot!- badsn95, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1 XBOX gets to play 40 player lag free in what? I geuss you headshot yourself there.
See anybody can be a fanboy, your not cool.
I might actually buy a 360 for this game, just to see what all the hype is about.- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+240 players? Especially in a game like Resistance, that is so chaotic. Soon as you spawn, you're dead. I'd rather have a focused and fun game with 4vs4 (8 total) or 8vs8 (16 total) than a game with 40 players total that would be unbalanced and frustrating.

- Kmack928, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Why do people hate on Halo?
Frankly, the best video game experiences I've had (since Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros.) has been halo and halo 2 co-op. Its crazy amounts of fun, i'm pretty sure that's a fact.
This addition will be nice, I'll probably just end up doing 2 player, but I think its gonna be a good time.- SuperiorKarsch, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Halo isn't a bad game but it's still largely overrated.
It's fun but it's not the best on the market, but it's still a game that is a few years and can have a group of friends entertained for hours...
Why do people hate on Killzone then?
It's a great game too and just as fun, but because of the adversary between the systems you have to hate one and love the other.
It's a shame really...- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Halo's features, sound effects, animations, physics, A.I., in game dialogue and online capabilities and customisation would put most games to shame.
Killzone 1 was a pretty poor game, I had fun playing through the campaign but most people expected it to be a lot better because it was labled as "The Halo Killer". The enemies had like 4 or 5 lines of dialogue that started to annoy the hell out of me after the first mission. You cant jump. The A.I wasnt very smart... plus I'm sure there are a few other reasons.
Killzone 2 looks pretty cool though. We'll just have to wait and see.

- cevil203, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2my god i hope the campaign is Kill Frenzy good
- RudMan, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2I would love to see in H3 what they have in Rainbow 6:Vegas. Playing the Terrorist Hunt boards is far more enjoyable than playing co-op campaign. Bungie should do the same thing. Clear X number of aliens from a closed area of a map.
Bob- elementfire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think the meta-game they talked about will be something like that. I agree with you about R6:V's co-op being more fun than any other mode.
- Proctor, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3Halo 1 on my iBook is better quality than that of my friends Xbox playing Halo 2. And the iBook only plays it at low quality :)
- theonlywizdum, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2no pics no proof no truth
- Scheissen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Halo wasn't released as "Halo 1" so you don't type it that way!
- TheBigBentley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3umm can you say gay? your comment is not valid since its not true.
- VirtualCtor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't know why you're being dugg down. Of course Halo is going to look better on your Mac's monitor than Halo 2 on a 480i TV; the screen has better resolution and is much clearer. In addition, there were graphic improvements made to the PC and Mac versions of the game. I have Halo for both PC and Xbox, and Halo on the PC monitor does look better than Halo 2 on my TV. When I plug the Xbox into my monitor, though, and use the same resolution as the PC, then the Xbox blows the PC away graphically.
- TheBigBentley, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7I can see why people think Halo 3 doesn't look much better than Halo 2. Halo 2 was a graphical powerhouse. But my question is "what do people expect?" If you could do something better graphically beside the already done: Hi-Def, higher poly count, high-res textures, more/better game play modes, more maps, continued story, 4 player co-op. Then please do tell. The art of the halo universe is not based on buildings full of architectural detail and real life places so to say anything besides the already mentioned could be done without deterring from the Halo universe is just simply absurd.
- VirtualCtor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Those people don't know what they are talking about. Anyone who played the beta knows that Halo 3 looks MUCH better than Halo 2. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying. It's an absolutely ridiculous claim. Where did this claim even come from?
- MonkCanatella, on 10/10/2007, -11/+3Halo's over rated. The only above average thing about it is its multiplayer, and even that's not groundbreaking in any way.
- acu8509, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5And they said i was wrong when i said more elites would join the humans! they laughed at me and told me to go run along and play alone somewhere! But who's right now?!?!
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You sure showed them.
- SkullPizza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Now if I could just get my pistol back.
- Ravenlockheart, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1 You guys and your oh god elite is gay cause you can get an easy head shoot... but think of this bungie has said they weren't going to put the elite in if they didn't fix that problem.... So I think they wont be able to get a head shot so easily on them this time around.... so don't think that they are going to suck till you play them people.... besides Halo 3 you all know is going to be sweet as hell!
- ar17452000, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0this is a nice feature however it would have been nice if you could at least be one other marine i mean those guys are friendlies too and i do enjoy there company in the game they make it more fun this feature is awesome but it would be nice to be able to play as the unsung heroes too (Standard marines) i also wonder if any of those charecters will change the story line as it progreeses and if it would have an effect ont eh game
- GauchoCoder, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This is great news, especially considering that just a week ago we had to deal with the rumors about there being NO co-op in Halo 3. Since it's from Bungie, I'm guessing that were actually going to get it.. Unlike the 4-player co-op rumors that were running around before H Deuce.
I am seriously pumped for this!- lacronicus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4no co-op? in halo? lol
- Ekwoya, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0I f i were Master chief i would watch my back with these three covenants behind him.
- VirtualCtor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Everyone's a buddy now.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah. Halo 3 has no shooting in it. Only hugging...
- Silthrim, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3I don't know about anybody else, but I really didn't enjoy playing as an Elite in Halo 2. When I think Halo, I think Spartans and the Master Chief. I don't want to play as the thing that I should be killing.
- potofgravy, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Wow, Bungie succeed once again talking up a rather arbitrary feature.
Here's hoping for a game that isn't as god awful as halo 2.- RichG13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Big videogame fan are ya?
- Aynatix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I have no problem with using a dinosaur as long as the hit direction problems were fixed, owning with a wookie is hilarious.
lol acu8509 ftw! - StandardsDT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think everyone here who doubted Bungie owes them an apology. If Bungie didn't care about their fans would they have gone to the extent of putting in 4 player online co-op?
- espion4ge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I like how the shot of the 4 characters on the Bungie website is named 4pFTW.jpg. It certainly is!
- jeepnut24, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Sept 25 Commence fighting over who gets to play as MC.. .
- Nassin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0This game just needs to come out so we can finally stop talking about it. the players will play and the bitchers will find something else to bitch about.
