From what I understand, if you want all the armour types then you have to get 1000 points/all Achievements. It's a shame the majority of the ranked ones are tied to free for all games, my least favourite game type now and in Halo 2. -
You only really need the plasma and the frag, is there anything different between the plasma and the other spikey one, I forget its name! I mainly use plasma and make a big emphasis on stickying people and use frags for throwing round corners which I'm quite good at too. But rarely use the others, unless Im need to.Comment

I love Halo 3 but there is just NO way I can agree with that statement. I did not enjoy the Cortana level one bit, not a single bit.Originally posted by Kevvy Metal View Post
For me the reason I don't like it is that for one, the only enemies are the flood and I don't enjoy fighting them much, and for two, the environment is very bland and so repetetive to the point you aren't sure at times if you've gone in a big circle or are in fact on the right spot! It's completely different from the rest of the game for me, because the rest of the game is simply sublime.Last edited by Jebus; 30-09-2007, 17:54.Comment

It's basically the Library, only more irritating and confusing.Comment

The Library wasn't so much of a problem for me, it was bad at the time but I can't remember it being anything in comparison to this!
I just can't think of one thing to recommend about this level. Here is a video of one run through I had on that level which about sums it all up for me!
According to Boris I don't have far to go on it so I'm determined to just grit my teeth and get it done tonight so I can get onto the final level which most people seem to recommend.
Then I can at least retry the game at a higher skill level, not being a big Halo fan previously I'm only doing it on the Normal level.
I'll spend some time getting the skulls and stuff too...Comment

Sorry for asking this if it's been covered, but I can't think of what to search this thread for to get what I want without massive spoilers!
I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm getting this, but I've not played Halo 1 or 2. What would be the best way to catch up on the story? Or does 3 do a pretty good job of 'previously on Halo' or whatever?Comment

Theres a story so far part in the manual, though you'll still feel pretty lost playing... infact i think alot of people who played the other games still feel lost at the story.Originally posted by toythatkills View Post
The Halo games have never really been that much about the story for me though, so personaly i wouldnt worry too much, unless you really feel like you need to understand it as well as you could.Comment

I'm still mulling over my feelings about Halo 3 since I won't be placing the time into the multiplayer to get much worthwhile out of it. Given that I thought Bungie were going to give more weight to single-player than Halo 2, I am disappointed that the game is so heavily multiplayer focused. I was expecting a more balanced package, because you're missing arguably three quarters of the content if you're not a multiplayer gamer imo.Originally posted by Evolution-OneThe Library wasn't so much of a problem for me, it was bad at the time but I can't remember it being anything in comparison to this!

The pacing and the focus of the campaign elevates the disappointment somewhat, but it's still there. The removal of the cut and paste level design and the fixation on properly developed set-piece encounters though annihlates Halo 1/2, and the ending is far more gratifying than what for me is the best single-player game of the year so far - BioShock.
I felt empty at the end BioShock, whereas in Halo 3 you do feel as though things wrap up in a satisfying fashion and for that Bungie deserve credit. So many games completely fail to deliver in their conclusion that it's almost a given these days to expect to come away with a 'meh'.Comment

I'm getting into this in a way I never did with Halo1. I'm enjoying the challenge of it. Totally stuck again - I think the checkpoints are out to shaft me as the game always seems to save at a point where I have no hope of surviving, dooming me to play it over and over again.
RIght now, I'm at the
I can't see how I'm anything other than doomed here.Comment

That where I am up to as well. What I love is that I know what I need to do, but doing it is tough. I still need to get my sharpness back. i think by tomorrow I will be able to brave multiplayer.Comment

Finished the game on legendary tonight. I gotta say... truly amazing. I was amazed all the way through the game. The cut scenes. The visuals (yeah so the graphics arent all they could have been but they were still very tasty and the environments were stunning!). The audio! amazing
The cortanna level was definatley the most tedious level. At one point
Not too hard after that!
Over all this is the best of the Halo trilogy. The ending was a bit of a dissapointment. Didn't like
that was a bit naff. The way the game ends all together was pretty good too. Although it does leave me wondering
Anyway... great game!
