Just beat the game last night with my best friend. We beat the 1st and 2nd Co-Op, so it's kind of a tradition. We beat it on Easy just to get the story line out of the way. We're now playing it on Legendary, just to prove it to ourselves it can be done. Beat the first two on Legendary, so we can't break the tradition The snipers are freaking ridiculous in the first map on Legendary. Fun as hell though, I love a challenge.

Anyways, anyone not happy with the fact that there's weren't any bosses to kill like the 2nd one? The graphics are insane though. I really love the details in the maps.

I think it was true for the 1st and 2nd. That's another reason why we're going through the 3rd on Legendary. Just to see if we get anything else out of the story line. But this will take us awhile to find out for sure.

It took us about 40 minutes jsut to get through the first level on Legendary. It's so time consuming having to poke out real fast for one shot and hide again as 3 shots come at you from different directions. Fun as hell to do though. As long as one of us is hiding, it really doesn't matter how many times the other teammate dies, lol.

when you first get the tank in the campaign guys hop on with you and every time you blow something up with a tank he says "Tank beats _____"

Well I just finished the campaign and was immensely satisfied, especially with the last few levels and the ending.

Good luck to you who choose to do it solo legendary, I would never have the patience.

Dont' worry, I checked the game stats on Bungie and it wasn't recorded. I think since I brought us over to another game after getting an invite it cancelled that game.

It was fun though

OK. Sorry for the anti-network questions. I got it all hooked up for about 3 years and everything is ok. But If you aske me all these technical questions i get lost at times.

To put my 360's IP in the DMZ i have to go to my router setup page? I got linksys and I normally go to 192.167.1.1 correct?

Fixed

And that game did rock.

The gun on the wart though is much much weaker, way too underpowered if you ask me. I had the gun pointed at guys for a while and it would barely do anything and then that other vehicle with the two scoopers for wheels that I can't remember the name of would kill anything it fired relatively quickly.

Lol. Maybe if we get alot of people at the same time we can do our own big team battles. But I HATE the fact that I need to press left directional pad to talk to team mates. I should be albot to talk and thats it. With all these new features, it gets harder to remember to press ANOTHER button just to talk or say "duck, hurry.." fast.

I am sure there has to be a way around it.

I don't know about weaker, but it's really hard to target anything compared to the plasma cannon. It seems like you really need to aim high for it to work.

On another note, who else gets a kick out of mowing down everyone in Rumble Pit with a mobile turret?

I didn't have a hard time tageting with it in the game you see above.

It does take some getting used to especially when the damn thing is moving in all sorts of directions, but once you get used to it, you'll perform some serious carnage.

All it does is limit what you ACTUALLY hear. I don't think the kids ever stop talking shit.

My friend just emailed me:

I admit that I get owned in Halo, because I don’t play it enough.
I don't play it enough, because it's not fun.
It's not fun, because it's repetitive.
It's repetitive, because it requires no strategy.
It requires no strategy because everyone just runs around randomly and you're usually shot from behind.
You're usually shot from behind because you're too distracted at how there's no "run" feature and how slow it is.
You're too distracted there's no run feature and how slow it is because you've played Gears of War too much.
You played Gears of War too much because the game is intelligent and requires strategy.

In summary: Gears of War rocks!

I suck at Halo because IT SUCKS! I don't want to invest my time and money in a game that sucks.

Headlines should read: 1.5 million people pwned by Microsoft!




Wow, I need to counter this BS.

^^^ Your friend was serious?

The only people I've heard complain about the game, are those that can't keep up with it because it's so fast paced.

I wrote back..

Play it more.

I don't play it enough, because it's not fun.
Sure its fun, you just don't know how to play the game and refuse to learn.

It's not fun, because it's repetitive.
Gears is SOOOOO repetitive as well.

It's repetitive, because it requires no strategy.
Hiding in the corner with your big bad sniper or blowing up your opponents with the over kill boomshot is not strategy.

It requires no strategy because everyone just runs around randomly and you're usually shot from behind.
This happens in Gears as well, and usually people just chainsaw the crap outta each other in Gears.

You're usually shot from behind because you're too distracted at how there's no "run" feature and how slow it is.
So you're gonna be a wuss and run away everytime someone is shooting at you? Poor baby, show yourself and fight! :-P

You're too distracted there's no run feature and how slow it is because you've played Gears of War too much.
If you didn't figure it out in the first 15 seconds, you are st00pid.

You played Gears of War too much because the game is intelligent and requires strategy.
Any idiot can play any of these games.


In summary: Gears of War rocks!
Halo 3 rocks too!


I suck at Halo because IT SUCKS! I don't want to invest my time and money in a game that sucks.
Halo sucks cause you suck at it and learn to play Halo!


Headlines should read: 1.5 million people pwned by Microsoft!
Headlines to read, you pwned by Halo cause he's a Gears of War fanboy!!! :-P
