Halo 3

Think the skulls are the key momo, as they work as multiplyers to your score !

edit : what he said !

Just a quick question if I have my single player save, can I also have a co-op run through save ? i.e. can I continue my Herioc runthrough alone, while starting another campaign afresh with a friend, running both side by side ?

[momobeast]

I think you can. If your on the level select screen. It will give you what difficulty you have completed it on, in single and co-op

Go to xbox.com and do it from there. A lot quicker.

Ah. Every day's a school day. Thanks for that tip.

After three years of development and the beta not seeming too bad it's good to see this following Halo 2. Enemies can catch up with me when following me on the same path, I can't catch them though, shotguns kill me from range, but not mine, shoot and melee first, but they do the same after me and get the kill and run off. So this is the super net code Bungie have been talking about. If you're getting shot at first then you might as well stand there and let them finish because you have less chance to retaliate and actually win in this one. Why use any other weapon when you've got the sniper/ranged/close quarters Assault Rifle killing you while your pummelling someone in the face with a zoomed in Battle Rifle. I was hoping the net code would make the game fairer this time.

You're blaming the netcode because you're getting pwned?

I've got the sh1ttiest connection in the world (living in the back of beyond, the land that BT forgot) and I don't seem to have those issues. Some you win, some you lose.

It's my feeling that the netcode is very well implemented.

I think you just need more practice, certainly playing against people on the other side of the planet you often do get owned by people with a shotgun, but that will be the same in any game.
If you see someone running at you with a shotung, run backwards keeping the distance between you as big as possible, chuck a couple of grenades and shoot them with your gun.

[Simmy]

While I don't think it's a net code issue, I'd agree with the Battle Rifle / Assault Rifle thing - If you don't get in first and have no cover to get behind and they are using an assault rifle on you, then you will not take them down with the required 4 shots from the BR, before the AR has finished you off - atleast at short range. But hey surely that's part of the game i.e. making sure they don't get in first, or that you are positioned to get out of danger if needed.

edit : So how are people enjoying the non beta maps ? I've only played on epitaph so far, which seemed OK but not really suited to the FFA I was playing. Have we got an strong favourites out there yet ?

Guardian is a BELTER of a map and I love it. We've had a few games of Mosh Pit on it too which is just one big King of The Hill section that stays in the same place for the whole game and it works so well on that map! love it.

[EvilBoris]

Last Resort is as good as it ever was, I'm really loving that one.

With the replays, once you've moved it from 1st person to 3rd person by pressing Y, is there any way to bring it back to the 1st person camera?

I believe its by clicking in the right stick, bit of an odd one, took me a while to work out!

'tis indeed a stellar map! The corpses do start piling up after about 30 seconds!

I like The Pit with it's crazy ramps and towers.

I hope some of the Halo 2 maps are released as DLC like Zanzibar and Turf. Those were quality.

[EvilBoris]

Yeah that be it, but you can only go to first person of the person who recorded it

Zanzibar is in Halo 3 already....

^oh right

Which one am I thinking of? It's set outside with a nice sunset, some broken roads and a couple of cranes holding "half pipes". Oh, and there's one spot where people can snipe from and it's almost impossible to get 'em.

EDIT: "Headlong" is the map. Ooh and Ascension and Coagulation too!
