Halo 3

[Simmy]

Quit cool for anyone into Forge already - This guy http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/Fi...rtag=Unh4nd13d seems to of done blank canvas's of all the maps - so you can start afresh completely !

I hope you picked up on my sarcasm Concept, I think the game is gorgeous, and thank you for describing why in far greater detail than I could be bothered to

Ah, sorry. I thought it was just another case of bashing a game which isn't Crysis or based on the Unreal 3 Engine.

Just completed it. Can't believe its all over

I know. Was a bit short, wasn't it. </sarcasm>

[Jebus]

Just finished it myself, it is indeed short but not too short, just right for me Aside from level 8 this game was just an absolute JOY to play, see and generally engross myself into for hours on end!

Can't wait to go through it again on co-op!

I personally think the flood are a poorly designed enemy, In terms of character design and inclusion in the story. I have never enjoyed a level with the flood present in it, in any halo.

I'd agree with that, I didn't enjoy fighting them on a single level in this game. The last level I'll grant exception to because of the

->Open Spoiler<-

warthog race for survival at the end

which was frankly one of the best moments in ANY game I've ever played...unbelievably intense and just so spot on in every way.

The flood just seem to jump at you, or stand around like zombies. Just so poor compared to the awesome AI of the brutes/grunts.

[EvilBoris]

I'd of been more worried had they run at me with a chess board trying to prove how good their Ai is

[Simmy]

Getting all negative for a second I've found the grunts to be more canon fodder than ever in this, and the Brute ai while great most of the time, can be a bit odd from distance, where they quite often don't react to being shot in the head at all

[Concept]

Aye. I found the grunts bastards on vehicles though, and Marines the reverse. They're still as bad driving as they are in Halo 2.

[EvilBoris]

They make good gunners though. Well better than Gerry in coop

[El Leone]

Yeah they're not great, at least they're able to go full speed at times now though.

Seems everyone is feeling the exact same as me about Misson 8. I suppose after the dizzy heights of 7 it was always going to be a more, normal, but it is getting quite frustrating and I now just want it out of the way. Really hope the final mission picks back up again as I would hate for it to end with that mission stuck in my memory.

Other than that each mission has raised the bar and I think it is the most I have enjoyed an FPS campaign EVER!!

[rmoxon]

Just got through the horrible mess that is mission 8....

Its not actualy that long, but its so boring becuase flood are almost constantly running at you throughout the level so half the time all you can do is stand there and keep shooting until they are all gone, ocasionaly hiding for a few seconds to top up your shield. Also kind of feels like bungie decided to try and make it harder than it needed to be just becuase its near the end of the game, some moments in it are just ridiculous and made me glad i was only playing on normal.

Is there a trick to dealing with the flood? They've been my most-hated feature of Halo and while they're not as annoying in this installment, I still think they're a real chore whenever they crop up.
