Lmao at this thread...

Tell me about it.  So far i've been told to do an instinctual action.  I was going to spend weeks trying my best avoiding learning how to play

Halo 3 mp seem decent so far?

It's a bit early to say I've never played the previous 2 halo's MP so can't compare.  The rounds tend to be 8 players and the only 2 game types I've played have not been team oriented.  There's a standard death match and king of the hill which has a randomly placed checkpoint with a ring around it and you have to stay in the ring and defend it long enough to capture the position before the next one is generated.  I can't see it having the longevity of battlefield.  Also the maps are tiny but still seem to hardly have any enemies.

I'm hoping to find a team mode and the possibility of having bigger teams.

Also when i work out how to activate the shield i may start to enjoy it more

Might buy crackdown tomorrow if I can still get into the beta.

How do you get on it?

My brother has a 360 and a special copy of Crackdown. How do you get on the Beta?

Crackdown.  There was a delay for a day when the  beta wouldn't download in the crackdown menu but its working now.

He knows.

At least I hope he does. He's had it for ages. I figured it was something to do with CSS naming conventions or some shit for admins...

i shall play it one time...

i just watched a vid of the beta MP and it looks the exact same has halo 2...

I don't understand peoples deal with Halo 2 and 3 looking the same.  Of course they're going to look the same, they aren't going to completely overhaul a game that works just fine in the first place, they're trying to maintain a certain artistic style here. 

Technically, it's far superior to Halo 2...The polygon count is several times higher, the normal mapping is far more impressive, there is realistic and HDR lighting, high rez textures and real time reflections, not to mention impressive particle effects and vast array of new shit that makes halo2 look like a halo 1 expansion pack.  What the hell do you people want? a Halo game that doesn't look, play or feel like halo?

You know why it's hyped?  The same reason any popular game or movie franchise is hyped, because it's good  *gasp!*...despite what few people may say, Halo is one of the best examples the videogame industry has to show how far the medium as come in creative development.

wow.

and here i was thinking Halo was the Joel Shumacher version of an FPS. See: Batman Forever.

Wow the console can do things that have been done already. Someone explain to me why this is new or exciting? And I believe hype is directly proportional to quality these days. Im just trying to understand why so many people like it when there are better games IMO.
