    I think it was already officialy revealed that Halo 3 would be at E3 in some form.

    Maybe, but I just find it interesting that these kinds of things occur :/

    Halo/2 are the two most overrated games I've ever played.

    It was a nicely put together little package, although a bit underwhelming when compared to Halo 2's debut at E3. Then again, H2 was a little further along I suppose...

    Halo isn't I don't think. If you ever go through the game on Legendary alone or with a buddy I think you'd find yourself in a hard position argueing it isn't a great game. Halo 2 maybe didn't quite surpass it, but it was still good, with a great online portion.

    It definately looks cool but I was never a big fan.

    I had an Xbox and I didn't have Halo or Halo 2.

    Wow, I think that makes you unique Hydeph Wouldn't surprise me if they had sold more copies of Halo or Halo 2 than there are Xboxes

    I really enjoyed both Halo games, particularly due to the lovely recharging armour system that encouraged you to keep going after just making it through an area rather than quick loading to do it again with the benefit of hindsight (or should that be foresight :roll:) in the hope of retaining more health. It also really encouraged retreating for cover while your shield was down, and making crazy advances while it was up since you knew it would regenerate anyway. I can't compliment their approach the health enough really, it has a really profound effect on the gameplay. Not sure if I prefer the Halo 1 or Halo 2 system though, given they had slight differences.

    Yeah, great presentation. All a teaser should be.

    I'll be damned if I didn't get chills the second the main Halo theme kicked in, even if the rest of the music was kinda odd.

    I think they might've tightened the system up a *bit* too much in 2. The health fallback was fine I thought.

    Halo 3 will:

    a) have repetitive gameplay

    b) have a shitty ending

    c) have a ridiculously unbalanced laser sword in DM play

    d) still sell really well

    e) all of the above

    A hard difficulty level doesn't make a game good. So I think there is a flaw in your logic.

    Well, if at a higher difficulty level the AI reacts differently and is self perserving and challenges you even further then...Yes, it does improve a game. It's just that generally games opt for simply increasing hit points/accuracy on enemies.

    I loved the 1st, never really got into the 2nd.

    I was less than impressed by it. I found it rather borring in fact.

    Really?

    I was 10 times more impressed with the MGS4 trailer even though they didn't show anything jawdropping.
