Halo2/3 chat.

Well, its not like all of the complaining about the name is going to change MS's mind. 360 probably means that they did a completly new make over. The 360 looks nothing like xbox. If the new xbox lookd like the first one then im sure u would have xbox 2 but u dont oh well. The xenon seemed stupid when it was first leaked. Why would MS give up the name xbox? It makes no sence. For people on other sites saying how much it looks like a PC, what do u expect, its the present ppl stop livingin the past. As long as it plays im fine with it.

Now back to halo 2 and 3. Where is the Gravemind located at any ideas? It looks to me like he is right under the library but i cat tell.

 

If ur talking about that rock monster thing that took the mc under the lake after the mission Delta Halo then he is in the covanat holy city, High Charity. It shows him there in a cutscene that you can see after the credits roll at the end of the game. He's there with cortana.

 

The Gravemind resides under the Lake on the Delta Halo level, however his tenticles can stretch out all around the Halo.

 

So nobody knows yet what he wants with contana and how mc gets her back

 

I think he just wants some info from coratana and if she was smart she would give him the info so she may get some info in return if that makes sense. I dont know about gettin her back thought cos as far as i know only mc can upload her into his suit, but maybe another spartan might drop in to get her cos they should include other spartans in halo 3 otherwise is would just be disregarding the things in the books, that there are other spartans.

 

ok ok so anyone know who will fight the final battle and who it is against?

 

I just started playing Halo 2 on xbox live two days ago. (Yes I know - what a loser). I was a little busy finishing my college education. Anyway - now that school is over - I can finally get back to important things like videogames.

I foolishly thought being a skilled player in the story game of Halo 2 would somehow make me a formidable force in the multiplayer environment. I guess I was really wrong. But I am improving. My biggest problem in the multiplayer mode when doing matchmaking quickmatches is the attitudes of the teams I get assigned to. Despite frustration with being assigned to a newer player - it does the team no good to insult the inexperienced player(s) and tell them that they suck, etc. A team is just that - a team....and we are only as good as our weakest player. Take the time to offer some helpful advice to those players. The result could be a more capable teammate and a more fluid team dynamic. I'm sure we have all noticed that when a team in Halo 2 has good communication and strays from negative comments direted at the team players, the team's effectiveness vastly improves. Don't get me wrong - I use profanity all day long towards my opponents - but I simply do not see the point in tearing down your teammates.

I have a few questions - first - I constantly find myself overpowered in a head to head combat or shootout....what is the best way to quickly kill an opponent? On Coagulation I REALLY suck.....what is the best strategy in this level? What would you recommend I do when I start that level? Any other suggestions?

*Also - I am interested in making a team of good communicators wishing to dominate Halo 2 multiplayer in the near future. I am a quick learner and good listener. In two days I've gone from a 1 to a 13....but I have no idea what that means...so feel free to make fun of me on that one. I'm more of a calculated player, looking for the best strategy to accomplish the goal. You'll notice if you play with or against me that I generally shoot the least amount of shots, but I get most of my kills from beat downs. But I still have that tendency to get a bit frantic when in close head to head combat...I'm hoping to overcome that very soon.

Let me know if you want to create a multiplayer team. Thanks everyone. I realize I didn't insult anyone as is the custom in these forums....I suppose that is due to my age and the fact that insults don't really do anything for me. While you may be insulting each other for every idiosyncrasy, I'll be building my game experience. Thanks again.

 

fusk everybody

 

News just in!!!!!!!

I dont know if you guys know this because I havent read the lasted posts but Ive check out the news of the release date for halo 3 and it turns out that Halo 3 is due to come out in the 2nd quarter of 2006. If you dont believe me check it out at gamespot.com

Peace out!!!

 

Yeah its due to launch around the time of the PS3's.

 

Halo 3 coming out in spring 2006 in thge second wave of xbox 360 games. It says so right in Time magazine.

 

It seems like a lot of people are considering Halo 3 the last part of a trilogy. I may very well be wrong, but I think it would be next to impossible to rap up the Halo story in one more game and here's why:
1)There are still six (correct me if I'm wrong) rings left
2)Xbox has almost no other big games to sustain itself on
Also, the consensus seems to be that Halo 3 will be a war for control of earth which I doubt. I would imagine that a game named Halo would have a substantial part of said game occur on a Halo.

So if anyone has any insight or any updates on the storyline, series, etc. please let me know.

 

Well if halo 3 doesnt finish the Halo seris then im gonna be very frustrated. Its not like I dont want to play more Halo games but i would hate it if were left with another cliffhanger and then have to wait two more years to see the end of the story. It would be obvious that Bungie was just in it for the money. You say that halo is the only big game to sustain xbox, well if you go back to my Halo beginning Idea you can extend the life of the seris without dragging the story on until all seven of the halo rings are detroyed.

 

@ marauder0
They could make most of halo 3 on earth and just give it a name like "Halo 3, The Fight For Earth." instead of it all being on another halo, like when you think about it, unless there is something really inmportant on it, why go to another halo ring?

 

Or it could be called Halo 3 - Finishing this Fight.

 

They just keeping the suspense its killing me i want to know what happend in campaign mode and will it be harder than ordinary legendary.

 

I definately think that the halo series should end with the third game come on now lets look at the facts such as the covenant who are already begining to fall apart. Plus why the hell is bungie going to extend the series just because there are six halos (well actually 7 if you count the one that was destroyed in the first halo) just because theres still alot of halos left doesnt mean master chief has to go to all of them in order to finish the series. And why go to other halos when the arc has the power of shutting them down. Plus why would Master Chief at the end of Halo 2 say his finishing the fight if the series is going to still be running (which hopefully will not cause then Ill lose interest). But the idea of halo spin offs does sound nice.

Peace out!

 

Maybe Halo the Movie will have something to do with the story after Halo 3.

 

If Halo 3 does not finish the HALO series i will take my XBOX (well really my Xbox 360) and throw it of a cliff!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway i cant wait for the movie!!!

 

yeah Ill probably do the same thing if the halo series doesnt end with Halo 3.

Peace out!
