WOW talk about amazing. If you didn't see it you missed out. The Chief getting ready to seriously own some Covenant it's beyond description. Anyone else watch it? Your thoughts? rock: ed:

Trailers are all well and good but halo 2 imo was dissapointing, seems the level designers love to use ctrl+c ctrl+v far too much creating levels that are a pain in the ass to navigate because they have far too many sections that look similar to one you were just in which makes you wonder if you're going the right way. Never even bothered finishing halo 2 as it got boring halfway through doing nothing but second guesing if i was going the right direction.



From what ive sen of halo 3 it looks impressive, i'll be more impressed if they actually design levels that aren't confusing to navigate (especially in split sceen mode).

I never got lost in Halo 2. Seriously, it doesnt take a fucking mensa.

One of the main complaints about the halo games is levels have tons of sections that can get confusing, try playing in split screen mode co-op and saying some of the maze style maps aren't easy to get lost in. Seen shitloads of complaints about it and online comics taking the piss out of the level design so obviously there is something about it thats true.

Halo 1 was even worse for it, just about any indoor section besides the library and the pillar of autumn\swamp used the same greyish purple textures same geometry etc.

from a review


[quote:ee9b3]Halo’s now infamous ’cut-and-paste’, mirrored level-design was a by-product of a development schedule cut short by the impending launch of the Xbox console. A classic it may have been, but it was a rushed classic all the same. Halo 2 has received a near-unprecedented level of hype because Bungie have been able to adopt a “You’ll get it when it’s done” development policy. They aimed to outdo Halo in every regard and create the greatest game ever. Expecting the greatest, Bungie have merely delivered a sequel. It plays much the same; in some regards it looks the same and it even suffers from the same problems. The level design still isn’t brilliant and frustratingly relies on cut-and-paste techniques. No mirrored levels this time though, thankfully.[/quote:ee9b3]

The announcement trailer imo was far better.

[CoMaToSe]

I guess Im just a fucking genius then. \

And I've split cooped both games in their entireity, neither of us got lost.

Also, <3 for trailer link.

Hmm, seem to be some things that go against what I know about the Halo 'verse. And WTF was that shield thing he 'generated'? oOo:

[geRV]

Only thing i liked in the trailer was the original assault rifle from halo appears to be back again, that 3 shot burst piece of shit in halo 2 annoyed me.

Wonder if we'll see his face in this one, eames will be shattered if he's black. biggrin:

[gtboys34]

halo 2 was so repetative. The levels were all the same.

I personal found Doom 3 extremely repetitive. *Enter room* *get jumped by zombies* *kill zombies* *demons teleport in* *kill demons* */repeat*

[Eames]
