Halo Series

[michael472]

ok, so I bet plenty of you have heard of Halo. I used to think it was over-rated back in December, but since I started playing it, I have started to like it, a lot.

Basically, you either do campaign where you kill alien forces known as The Covenant. In campaign, you play as Master Chief or the Arbiter. (you don't choose which one, it just depends on what level you are on) Campaign is also multiplayer, and in Halo 3, player 2 is the arbiter, player 3 and 4 are elites. If one person dies, one of the other people just need to get into a safe spot and that player will respawn.

In Multiplayer, you can play as a spartan or elite wearing whatever armor you choose, as long as you have unlocked it, and in the colors of your choosing. Multiplayer is pretty boring unless you get Xbox LIVE. Then, you can play matchmaking against other players, (sometimes WITH them, also) and make new friends, whom you can go to custom games with.

There is also Theater mode, where you can watch recent films, film clips, and saved clips. You can take screenshots and record film clips in theater mode.

In Halo 3:ODST, there is a new mode, called "Firefight", where you face endless waves of Covenant forces. 5 waves make a round, 3 rounds make a set.
I uh, am kinda tired right now...will add more to this later...and I need to organize it...
Also, if you have played halo wars please add info.

I reckon the best thing about Halo is the story ^^

[Kyonko]

Halo's story is an emersize piece of work done by the masterfull story tellers at Bungie. Apparently since it's inseption there has been a tome unoffcial known as the Halopedia, this was a eclectic refrence source heavily guarded by Bungie and was loaned out to the author of the Halo Novels. After which it was quickly retrieved and has only since been reformated and organized to make an offical source book which will be out sooner or later. Which I will definately get.

The story though isn't just about the Chief and the Arbiter... It's about humanity's struggle along with the clash of ideal's carrying with it a underlying truth that just because we have our own religions and our own beliefs, that we should in fact take the time to understand and get to know one another better. I love this underlying statement expecially with how it ties this in too the prime religious story of Noah's Ark, a tale parelleled in many religions.

The human element to this intricate story is what I find most fascinating, my favorites in the series other than Master Chief and Cortana, are both Captain Keyes (Jacob and his daughter Miranda), Avery Johnson, and R'tas Vadum the silver spec ops elite that aids the Arbiter.

The science used with in the series is very believeable and adds a layer of believability to the series. The human starships IMO are some of my starship designs out of any series, I just love the Pillar of Autumns design as well as the Amber in Clad, Forward Untoward Dawn's design. I could go on the topic of Halo for hours and days and can cover many things, but I'll leave them for later.

Yeah, i really like the biblical allusions too. Very smart how they implemented it in.

Well Halo ain't famous for nothing.I just know that if I can create graphics like that, I'd work on a game and maybe sell it to Nintendo or Sony xD (Kinda thinking a bit far here but it's what I really think of ^^)

[Kyonko]

You could always do like Monty Oum even if you can make graphics like that... <<

[Archer]

But Disky, there's 2 things keeping me from reaching that.
(i) I don't have money like him to buy the stuff needed.
(ii) As like reason (i), I don't have the cash to upgrade my com too

[shadowgregarzx]

Same with Kazuma.
Nobody sure likes talking to himself about Halo on the Cb though ^^

[michael472]

Not only about Halo. anyways, I'm working on beating every level solo on Legendary. Halo is like, the easiest.

[Kyonko]

I find most of the original Halo on Legendary to be easy, it just takes strategy.

[michael472]

My strategy for everything: hide behind something, come out and shoot, then go back to hiding. unless I have a sniper or melee weapon(sword, hammer), then I run away and snipe from where most weapons can't hit me, or if I have a melee weapon, I run up to everyone, attack, then run back. lol
But if there are only like, grunts, I just throw a grenade and shoot and stuff without worrying about dying.
