Probably the same reason why people didn't post about Halo or Halo 2.

Or might it be that a Xbox is no good until it is modded, or simply because the games are not worth the money, or because it's all a rip-off?

Yeah, my friend had the Legendary edition preordered for months now and has been counting down the days; kinda pathetic, but there you are. XD

So I just popped it in for a few minutes this morning, but I was only able to do a little bit of customization to my model before I had to go. I'll probably try to get some gametime in this afternoon, because Forge looks pretty cool.

yea, so pathetic, atleast we (well, not me, i'm happy with 1.1) wouldn't do that when 1.2 release date of trem would be released eh?
Anyway, i've followed up the whole dev of halo 3 and i've got high hopes for it :D

Might be something to do with it being the most overrated series ever next to Counter-Strike. That and what Kaleo said.

Also, just 'cause:

It's my humble opinion that it doesn't apply to this case.  They're "O.K", not "great", and the multiplayer is filled with the same trash from Counter-Strike, only now they have voice-chat by default.  Hip-hip-hooray!

Is there any Halo related stuff that  refers to ringworld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld) at all?  I've always been somewhat annoyed that I could find no reference, aside from the blindingly obvious halo.  Of course, I've only played Halo1.

Halo 3 is a lot like Half-Life 2; a lot of hype, not so much game.
If this is the game that has to 'save' the Xbox 360, I fear the worst...

- I don't need to quote you when your post is right above mine unless I'm in some lame debate and have to chop it up.  Needless quote-boxes just make clutter.
- Even with simple topics (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=94108#94108) I don't bother with expediency, anyway.

BOY THIS THREAD HAS TURNED OUT SWELL..

Only thing that sucks about Halo3 are the people.. Don't know enough people with 360s and legendary sucks if you have to rely on the AI to drive...
Sometimes i just pull them out of the vehicle and beat them slowly with whatever i can find... beyond incompetent at driving. I thought it was awesome how there were tyrants on the last level though..

If you are going to insult him at least find a way to do it while staying on topic and including halo3 in the insult.

That zeropunctuation thing gave me a kick when i saw it  a while back but its way to obvious he has no idea what he is talking about half the time and he doesn't even try to mask it.. the stuff he gets right, such as the AI being pathetic drivers was hillarious, and the lack of any real boss conclusion, but other than that it was clear he was trying to go into it with the intent of being humorous.. you learn more than he seemed to know from reading the back of the case.

I didn't really play halo 1.. or if i did i don't remember it. I bought it for the PC but never made it through. I co-op played halo 2 really fast but wasn't paying attention all that much, but i actually played halo 3 and by the time i was done with it i knew a lot more about the story and what was going on than he seemed to know. Some quotes:

"ive never actually played a halo game until this one"
"all i knew going into the game was this, there is some guy called mastercheif"
Didn't read the back of the box or the manual.. obvious..

"The world has been conquered by evil aliens all though some of the aliens are good by some arbitrary designation and there are those other aliens that are basically the headcrabs from halflife in disguise"
-Its clear why some are good, they only keep saying it over and over again and most of the first half of the game you keep being reminded, and nothing in the game looks like a head crab

"Big rings in space that make this die somehow"
-..once again.. manual

"Most of the game in a base being ordered around by a 12 year old girl"
-I think this is the second level... if you spent most of the game in the second level i suspect you didn't play most of the game.

"The lighting constantly vomits brightly colored blume into your face"
-..fix your tv

"If you were to ask me to summerize halo 3 in just one word i'd tell you to stop being such a twat"
-thats more than one word...

"sunday stroll down easy street for the last hour or so"
-Once again, i suspect he didn't actually finish the game..

Said the guns were like guns made by matel, then how the hell did he jump to you having the bfg900?.. and you don't even kill the hobbit guy..

Maybe thats over analyzing it but if i am going to spend 4 minutes listening to someone who didn't even pay for the game, whether they are trying to be humorous or not, they should at least try to know something about the game.. most of what he said you could just randomly change to any game  and that is lazy.

That's pretty much how Halo 1 starts, too.  Yeah, yeah it's in the manual, but many, many players prefer to skip it entirely either so they don't pre-learn the controls, etc. and instead simply learn it on-the-go (which actually is kind of fun) or because they simply do not give a rat's ass about it.

Quote from: "PIE"

Meh.  That's the impression I got when I first saw them, and it's not like you were able to look at their bodies afterward since they "pop".  Played well past The Library before I noticed they, err, didn't have shells.  Same basic behavior, too, though they're nowhere NEAR as awesome as the crabs, who startled me several times through Half-Life jumping at me from nowhere.

For everything else, I reply thusly: "Lighten up, Francis."
