Forums - Microsoft - Halo 3's ending was EPIC!!! (no spoilers)

starcraft on 25 September 2007

The ending to Halo 3 was touching and engaging.  The final moments of gameplay were amongst the greatest i have ever experienced in any game, and the campaign had many singularly impressive moments that will remain with me for years to come.  Having played through all three titles over the last couple of weeks, i would like to thank Bungie for the brilliant, beautiful and truly epic story they have unfolded for us over the last five years.

 

Cheers.

im in australia. Got it before anyone else. Probably took me a good 10 or 11 hours, and most of that was on co-op, so it went faster

I'll agree that the ending was good, but I didn't think it carried that EPIC! feel that your talking about. Yes, Homelesscarl, it is a short game. Single player is over in about 6-8 hours.

Edit: Of course the length may lengthen depending on what skill level you play on and how good you actually are. Normal mode clocks in around 6-8 while Legendary can get anywhere up to 10-12 but even then your still just playing the same game but on just a harder mode.

Also, co-op even further shortens the game since despite your increase in numbers the game doesnt spawn more monsters and the AI isnt any smarter. So, unless you ARE playing on legendary, you can finish the game in around 5 hours.





Ask me how to turn a Rottweiler in to a Dodongo and I'll tell you the story of a lifetime.

Bungie themselves, not to mention about ten different reviews, have stated that if you have played the previous Halo games or are familiar with the FPS genre, you should play the game on Heroic for single player or Legendary for co-op.  Normal is for beginners, Halo is a huge phenomenon and many of the people who buy it will be novices.  People shouldn't call the game short just because they're unable to follow directions.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

When playing co-op on Legendary, does one guy dying mean everyone dies?

The surviving player could always just run away for a while to respawn the other guy on any difficulty level in Halo 1, but this option didn't work on Legendary in Halo 2. My chances of ever beating the third on all difficulties kind of depends on this. =P
