From Advanced Media Network:
"Today, Bungie unleashed a sweet, sweet surprise upon the gaming world: the world's first look at Halo 3's highly-anticipated multiplayer mode. The new footage comes in the form of a 7-minute video documentary called "Is Quisnam Protero Damno!"
We're all Halo fans here, so we've done the same thing any other self-respecting Halo nut would do: we've watched the "Vidoc," as Bungie calls it, 100 times. Okay, maybe not that many times. But we've re-watched it enough to draw some conclusions and make some observations that only a paranoid and obsessive Halo fan could come up with. Plus, we've outlined some new facts about Halo 3 that the footage reveals.
Check out all 19 of those bad boys below."
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
See you all on the 16th of May.
“We Need to be as Good as Halo 2”
At one point in the documentary, a Halo 3 designer makes the statement that “We need to be either as good as Halo 2 or even better.” While we love Halo 2, we do find it interesting that Bungie, internally, has made Halo 2 their “benchmark” and not Halo 1. Why the surprise? Didn’t a Bungie employee recently rant about how much Halo 2’s multiplayer sucked (his words, not ours)? Considering that statement, one would think the developer preferred Halo 1, so if that’s the case, why are they aspiring to best Halo 2 and not the original Halo? Do they feel Halo 1 is out of their league?
well, they probably are using halo 2 as their benchmark becuase HALO 1 WAS NOT XBOXLIVE EQUIPPED.
Argh why do people seem to think that the shield bubble and the so-called trip-mine are separate items? The shield bubble is the x button which when deployed makes a temporary shield as the name obviously suggests. One designer said that you can drop it on the floor at the last second to blow up a vehicle. The way it happens is the force of the shield bubble going up blows the vehicle up and blows it up. Just like a grenade deploying under a warthog. THEY AREN'T SEPARATE!
The footage is of the alpha build and many things are bound to change by the time the game is finished.
Hmm... Good stuff.. But like you said it was really dumb things.. What im wondering about is.. Since your weapons show up on your body when you switch... If you have a BR and an Assult rifle... You Sling the BR which shows up on your back right... So you have the AR rifle out.. What happens to the AR when you pick up a Objective item? Ball, Flag?? Do you drop it or? Does it disappear.? Thats what Ive been thinking about.. Bungie Said you would be able to see everyones weapons.. So?? Plus when the blue team was runing up to the Base with the Turret.. I think it was the first scene with all the Blue guys.. In the back there was a Spartan with the Spartan Laser or whatever..?? Did they take out the Rockets alltogethor? Or can someone have the Laser and the Rockets?
