Or me, who doesn't plan on even playing the game.

So yeah, anyone who's reading this thread is, or should be, prepared to see spoilers, so post away.

Easy, Normal and Heroic are the same. Legendary has like, a 20 second additional scene that could be summed up in one frame.

detail to me the game just sucked pain and simple. I am a relly big halo fan i ahve been playing and modding sience halo 1 so dont get me wrong. But there where so many glitches and mess ups and simple litle things. i mean there was fly ing creates that killed you there was a cut scene where one of the elites head was up the arbiters ass and they dident relly seem to care about collision if you noticed. I am writing to bungie to tell them. And it doesent take that long to relly strip a map then add only stuff you want. mabey one week tops but bungie took almost two years and it sucked. I am a very dissopointed halo fan :cry:

Never experienced either of those two glitches you talked about. I did see the Scorpion do that spin and fly all over the place (it was in Halo 2 as well) glitch while playing campaign...so your complaint about collision may be valid, but other than that I haven't seen any collision related problems.

ive noticed quite a few things that were "glitchy" dead peoples arms randomly rolling around... etc... i feel like they really skimped out the caimpaign, i got one level to go, but they didnt even really get into any story whatesoever until the 7th or 8th level... it was just fight a group of ppl, walk a little fight a group, walk a little, fight a group, walk a little... felt really repetative to me :( i had really high hopes for this game and i gotta say i feel like bungie half-assed it.

Ledgendary on co-op is a joke (Although I only have done the first two missions). I thought that they said they were making more enemies for co-op. Also, I'm not impressed that people can't jump in and out if they want to leave/join in the middle. It is also dissapointing that You won't get your achivement for a level if you end the game and then play from the last checkpoint.

Yea, co-op is a complete failure 100%. The fact that you can't have someone join without ending the game and if someone leaves, it ends the game is completely ridiculous. I mean, I'm glad they didn't leave it out, but I would've waited until January of next year if it gave them time to perfect stuff like this. Maybe it will be fixed in updates?

I definitely gotta say tho levels 1-7(if including Arrival as a level) sucked real bad, the last 3 levels really made up for the game, though i expected every level to be as good as the last 3, the first seven in my opinion were worse than halo 2s crappy caimpaign. The ending was somewhat epic tho it annoyed the shit out of me cause i didnt know of the after credits ending.... I also expected the story to hold together better... im still clueless to a few things, 1) theres was a replacement ring being built.....???? By whom... how... wtf.... >_> and 2) Didnt they state that if one ring goes off they all do.....? you end up setting off the ring you worked so hard to stop from going off... and wasnt that ring near earth wouldnt that kill everyone on earth... i feel like there were so many things that were half-assed answered

The replacement ring was built by the ark.

You can only activate all of the halos by using the ark.

No...they've never said that. It's always been said that The Ark could activate them all, while being outside of their range...that's it. The Ark/Installation 04 were nowhere even close to Earth.

Things weren't half-assed answered, you just didn't pay attention.

umm... saying this game was half-assed is an understatement...

I can honestly see why Playstation went on wikipedia and dissed halo 3 the way they did... this game really isnt at all what they hyped it up to be, i somewhat liked the ending and the last 3 levels were good but besides that it was worse than halo 2. Another big thing ive noticed is how little its changed.. the graphics are only slightly better than halo 2, much worse than a 360 is capable of.

They added all those little cutscenes of cortana twice or so a level telling you something utterly pointless and irrelevant, I am your energy I am ur power.... its like ok... u interrupted my game for that... also the whole times shes goin on like she has a ton of deep dark secrets and shes a lier and everything then never elaborates what she lied about or what the hell she was talking about...

The BR... its like wtf happened there its like straight out a cartoon....

They ruined the Brutes they look nothing like before its like they shaved there heads >_>

There was basically no story until the 7th level...

Theres only 10 levels... Halo 2 was considered short and had more than that...

You dont have 1 damn boss the whole game.... Unless u count the librarian....ha..

The missions are hardly missions at all its walk... kill.. walk... kill...walk....killl....PUSH A BUTTON!!!...walk...kill..

The mongooses physics are horrible....

Out of nowhere the flood can talk?! And you join them its like wtf >_<

Theres a glitch that if u save your game and continue later u dont count as beating the level, and then later dont count as beating the game all together...

As for them being so far from earth, what the hell was the point of stopping the first ring in halo 1 then, if it doesn't set the others off and its so far from earth it would have gone completely unnoticed.

I could just keep going on and on with this list... this is just what i can come up with off the top of my head.... Don't get me wrong either, I had really high hopes for this game, i went to the launch and everything. But this game is really disappointing.

I wish my friend's Playstation could do that.

It's something called storyline and background information. It could be Cortana's rampancy (I don't know if that plays a real role in H3...just speculating here)

It's a little thing called rising plot action leading to a climax.

That's a bad thing?

Why wouldn't you stop something that could kill you?
Yamagushi wrote:2) Didnt they state that if one ring goes off they all do.....?
No, they said when one's detonation is interrupted they go into a standby that can be activated from the Ark.
