Halo 3

Ok this is for the nerds, if there is such a thing on here...

Is anyone looking forward to Halo 3 coming out in less than a week?

Does anyone or has anyone actively played Halo 2 or the original?

This is going to be the icing on the cake, it is going to be absolutely awesome! Bungie have absolutely outdone themselves this time.. and no wonder, Halo 2 is still kicking ass with between half a million and a million games being played per day online and between 300,000 and 700,000 players consistently playing everyday, and the game is nearly 5 years old!

LONG LIVE BUNGIE~!

Next Door's kids used to have regular Halo tournaments

Tue, 2007-09-18 19:56

Greg and I sat in on a few with I think 8 Tv's and 4 XBoxes in separate rooms in the house and about 16 players. The kids just picked us off, way too good for us oldies.

Good game but plenty others better imo.

Commodore 64 and an Atari

Tue, 2007-09-18 23:49

Cutting edge back then.

We used to program our own games on the 64. Took ages writing the code but ended up with a game you could actually play. Piss poor graphics but in those days it was marvellous.

I can also remember doing miniwaft programming in high school maths enrichment. Anybody else remember that in the days when computers were the size of a whole room and maybe got up to 64megahertz if you were lucky?

(Maybe just me Sherbs and Bruiser??)

Besides, Halo 3 isnt just a game... its next gen bliss!

Ill have to show you one day... it sucks you in and the next thing you know, you're a crazed gun wielding maniac playing for reputation and all your worth and you're smacktalking the opposition into oblivion!

Its like paintball without the bruises in a completely immersive environment, except you can abuse your opponents and not have to face them in person, :D

"Ok this is for the nerds, if there is such a thing on here.." - Rickets

And then you go on saying:

"halo is more than a video game, its LYFE"


"LONG LIVE BUNGIE~!"

And then pretty much this whole paragraph:

"rofl, h0ju, for a pc game, css is the worst fricken FPS around considering how long its been around, youd think theyd atleast make it look a bit better and make it worthy...."

The old original was a great game for its day. I like the new ghost recon advanced warfighter series as well.
Played a lot of BF1942,DC,POE online and BF2 with a clan in the GA ladder.

CSS is for the kiddies and tards. Nuff said.

Halo rocks for a console game.

you have to flick the controler to cast, and use the 2 controlers together to pump & wind the fish in.

most life like fishing game ever, with so much variety in lures, boats, locations and fish.

Hi Ya,

My first electronic 'game' was a tennis game on a Hanimex 'thingy' that plugged into the RF in port on the back of the TV.  Two people could play or you could play against the 'console'.

Quite a few people had good fun with it.  Most advanced I can tell you.  lol.
