I tend to think good games are short because I play them so much... thought the same with Halo 3. I'm going for the skulls next then Legendary.

bob269

The skulls were kind of a pointless achievement because you can't possibly find while playing and are fairly easy with a guide so it isnt really a challenge, it was getting them for the sake of getting them, however you need them to obtain the 15k points per level meta achievements which means you play the levels over again.

Anyway my halo is rental and i may see some mileage in online play if they release more maps so i'd be willing to swap your halo 3 for Bioshock if you havent already played it

NeilT

dont gbet me wrong - the game is superb - one of the best I've played on the 360, just shorter than I would have hoped. Will probably go back and play it again on Legendary.

As far as skulls go - what are skulls? - never saw any of them or see any real point in collecting them - afterall its Halo not Mario.

Online is ok, but I buy for the single player, story driven game, not the multiplayer. I get quite frustrated with the online deathmatch games - start with nothing, take some time grabbing guns and bombs, then get killed, start with nothing...repeat over and over...yawn

i don't really like it, think i`m at the part where i have just found cortana (near the end?)

just cant motivate myself to finish it

online was ok, but couldnt really see any difference between halo and the only copy of unreal 2004 i have kicking about

NeilT

yeah, only another level to go to finish it once you've got Cortana

Should have been more levels featuring the tanks and spaceships (cant remember what they are called) - by far the best in the game

Skulls are required to get the Meta campaign achievements but only 2 or can be found by accident.
Most people i know have stopped playing it online because COD4 is out.

Halo 3 online is fantastic. I prefer the objective battles to the straight forward slayer, but for the ultimate it's got to be the big team battles and custom games like infection.

messiah

1 more EXP and I'll have the officer achievement...

Enjoying the game more than I thought I would - the MP mode is well thought out and plenty of different options - just wish the achievements werent limited to Lone Wolves.

4 new maps on the way - "OK Corral", "Purple Reign", "Jodrell Bank" & "Vandelay"

Major Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 3 Service Record

PeteBrant

Sir! Yes Sir!!

myblackwrx

iTrader: (1)

That's better

I've seen a brigadier and the guy had played nearly 2000 matches (ranked and social).

messiah

I'm just a peasant - aka Gunnery Sergeant...until I get that 1 more EXP that is!

Achievements outstanding are : 3 meta games, 4 kills in 4 secs, "stepping razor", "mongoose mowdown", 10 kills without dying & the 5 grenade sticks.

PeteBrant

Bloody hell - not seen one yet - I think the highest I have seen is Colonel (three stars?)

I'll send you a friend request and you can kick my ****

messiah

Can't get on Bungie at the mo but was wanting to see a mates service record - last time I looked his skill level was 42...

tbh you can see how many games i didn't get experience from and how many points i lost from lagging out .

I'm just an average player who has played with some good people (i normally play team slayer) and i've done my bit for the team so get the points.

PeteBrant

That pretty high!

My skill level is 10, but then I don't play many ranked matches - I prefer the social ones. I have 84 exp (1 more for Lieutenant grade 1), but I seems to remember there is a point where you need 200 exp or 20 skill, seems to me the 20 skill will come around much quicker!

I have seen gunnery sergeants with 170 odd exp but only 1 skill level.

The reason why is when they play ranked matches against real newbies to the game they can easily rank up with a good kill/death, win/lose ratio therefore making them look better.

earning skill is quite easy,keeping it is quite hard though as if you're winning all the time there's no problem it's when you lose it starts messing you about ,even if you lose but you do the best out of you're team (team slayer obviously) you don't lose skill.
I was stuck on 29 for fecking ages.

messiah

I actually prefer the Lone Wolves games - I find it easier to rank up and the variety of games is quicker, Team games always tend to be Slayer matches but I think my calling is the Oddball games - played quite a few now and won most of them against players with a much higher skill level than me.

myblackwrx

iTrader: (1)

Oddball is quite enjoyable.
Lone Wolves is enjoyable as you get to play on Guardian and i really do like that level.
Must admit i'm trying to get all the medals but no bugger seems to want to play infection matches.

bob269

Whats the difference between oddball and ninjaball ?

myblackwrx

iTrader: (1)

Some of the ninjaball matches the ****** who has the skull is invisible (had 1 like that on the Narrows not enjoyable imo) but normally it means they can run faster and jump longer and further.

messiah

Yep, that Ninja game is a git - if you get the skull, stand still - moving makes you easier to spot.
