As we're taking over the 360 thread a tad with organising :D

Only 4 levels to go! :D Really good laugh too. Not overly fussed about the single player but in co-op, it's good fun.

NokkonWud
24-09-2008, 22:17
Yay! Now we just need threads for every new game.
Come on Jen, get another one sorted for The Darkness!

Not sure if I ever started a Gears 2 one :confused:

Halo 3 is turning out to be a great laugh co-op. Not sure about single player though, could be rather boring :/

Haly
24-09-2008, 22:20
Think I'd find single player dull, always did with the first two. But I'm happy to just play co-op and be done with it after :)

Yeah. I've never been a massive fan, though Halo is still one of my favourite games ever as I completed it with my mate, split-screen, and played multiplayer all the time. Fantastic.

Sadly Halo 2 and Halo 3 don't have that same epic feel, the latter especially should have been much more awe-inspiring in Campaign, however the potential in the Multiplayer, particularly with Forge and the stat-tracking is probably the best we've seen in any game ever, including PC games.

Daz
24-09-2008, 22:27
The longievity has always been down to the multiplayer and it's very polished. Not really an FPS multiplayer fan but I've been playing it a lot.

When we're done, if you lot are feeling fruity, we could try for the 'Vidmaster Challenge: Annual' achievement. I'll let you find out what the Iron skull does though ;)

NokkonWud
24-09-2008, 22:48
As per Jens request, a re-post, but in the correct thread this time:

Sorry about the delay guys, I did run a little late from football, but my mate came around too for around 45minutes and he's not started Halo 3 yet. Then my mate rang me and I was on the phone to him for about 30 minutes (told you, I am a phone whore).

Thankfully I got in on time for the second map. Sadly I won't get the Legendary achievement .

Haly
24-09-2008, 22:49
You make me sound bossy now :( :p

We thought you'd been on the phone for an hour and a half ;D

NokkonWud
24-09-2008, 22:49
If you fancy giving another online FPS a go Daz, barring you have played Call of Duty 4 (if not, you must!), I recommend Battlefield: Bad Company. It's bloody brilliant in multiplayer IMO.

NokkonWud
24-09-2008, 22:50

I was on the phone (funnily enough to the same person) for 25 minutes on the way back from football... so nearly an hour :p.

Haly

Heathen! Also when did Halo 34 come out?! ;) I'm really up for this. I'm a huge Halo fanboy. Just my schedule is stupid right now and just got 100x worse. You guys pick now to play Halo 3? :p You're a year late!

leowyatt
25-09-2008, 07:05
You guys pick now to play Halo 3? :p You're a year late!

Hey this is my first Halo game so I'm a number of years too late ;D

NokkonWud
25-09-2008, 11:22
The frightening thing is, I bought the legendary edition for £70 the day it came out and waited this long...

petemc
25-09-2008, 11:25
Haha! Even to play the single player?

NokkonWud
25-09-2008, 11:37
Yep. I'd never actually played the SP campaign until two days ago on it. Only multiplayer (and even then, not a whole lot of that).

Haly
25-09-2008, 14:07
Heathen! Also when did Halo 34 come out?! ;)
:p

Are we on for this tonight? Can't remember :o
I've got my college course tonight but I'll be back just after 8 if everyone else is about :)

Daz
25-09-2008, 14:08
I'm game if you lot aren't CoDing :)

petemc
25-09-2008, 14:17
I'm out tonight :(

Daz
25-09-2008, 14:43
In case anyone's interested, the cancelled E3 announcement will be made in about 25 minutes time:

http://www.bungie.net/defaultsi.aspx

Certainly at the time people were expecting Bungie's next Halo game but who knows. Might be on topic, might not be :D

NokkonWud
25-09-2008, 15:03
Well, it mentioned USNC on the site before in the 'hint', and that's most definitely Halo related.

As for tonight, I'm not going anywhere, so 8pm is not an issue at all.
If I forget, you can give me a nudge on the phone - Jen and Chris both have my number. Not sure I want to give it out in the public section though :p.

NokkonWud
25-09-2008, 15:05
Never mind, I found a place to put it in the Control Panel. Text away!

Daz

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15574

It's a trailer, and it's something to do with Halo 3, so it is on topic ;D

petemc
25-09-2008, 15:19
Hmmm. Hmmm. What was that? It says Halo 3 at the end. Is it the rumoured game were you're just a guy in a squad? Why say Halo 3 though. Hmmm. I liked the little avatar dude :D

NokkonWud
25-09-2008, 15:20
An add-on pack to make it 2000 points?

petemc
25-09-2008, 15:24
The look is very different though. Its obviously not in game but its got a different feel to it than Halo.

Daz
25-09-2008, 15:36
The Bungie forums are going nuts as you'd expect. Teen angst!

The location is New Mombasa (seen in red while the SI reboots), which you play in Halo 2 and 3 (the last level we played last night actually, where The Ark was) - and it gets pretty bum raped, so that would suggest you're looking at events at least before then. The things dropping are supposedly ODTS's (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/ODST), and Bungie were allegedly working on a squad based title, so it could be that. The specific mention of 3 though makes you wonder.

Cool teaser though :) Pete - The avatar is the 'super intendant', and if you downloaded the Bungie day picture pack this year you can have him as a gamerpic :)

leowyatt
25-09-2008, 15:39
I don't understand what the trailer is about :confused: :'(

Are we being invaded? Is this an expansion to Halo 3?

petemc
25-09-2008, 15:42
I want him on my computer :D Screw a kernel panic, I want a little frown.

Daz
25-09-2008, 15:42
The vid is now on the marketplace and someone is saying it has this next to it:

High action and deep mystery await players in this new Halo 3 campaign experience. Prepare to drop.
Will check it tonight unless one of you slackers can find it ;)

Daz

I watched the video Daz suggested so know the story between 1 & 2 just not sure where the trailer fits in.

Speculation seems to say it is being launched November 17th.

Daz
25-09-2008, 15:58
I'm shocked at how much time people are spending combing this video but I must admit to finding it interesting :o

2 dates were found 'hidden' in the video, the November date and 01/06/09 (http://i38.tinypic.com/t8kl84.png), which is indeed a Tuesday and Bungie tend to like Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Would make sense tied to the new achievements etc - They've never done skulls in multiplayer maps before and there are 6 new skull achievements which they wouldn't talk about.

Looking at the achievements and everything, I'll say big expansion with multiplayer maps and some campaign sidequesty type levels, sans Master Chief.

X3F analysis (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/09/25/x3f-tv-video-analysis-of-bungies-keep-it-clean-teaser/). Expansion for Halo 3. Possible release of 6th Jan 09. Seems most of the drop pods are potentially destroyed after the Prophet's ship jumps away. I forgot that happened. Then one last pod drops in after, which is you most probably.

leowyatt
25-09-2008, 19:49
I'm game! Jen won't be on till 8:15

Haly
25-09-2008, 20:15

Edit: Awww no one about? :(

Sorry about that guys, my net crapped out on me. It was bound to happen eventually after 2 nights without a problem. Sadly we were so close to that skull :(.

Haly

You sure about that? ;D
Was a good laugh anyhow :) Have to get the skull and level done another time.

You still got your old router dude? It sounds like a problem with the wireless rather than the netcon itself.

NokkonWud
26-09-2008, 13:35
I'm up for it. Dunno about the Internet though.
Sadly, when I got back on last night my Xbox360 was solid as a rock for hours playing Battlefield Bad Company.

petemc
26-09-2008, 13:40
I might be available. I'd like to be anyways :)

You can jimmy the imformation out of the sky router into your own, did it with my folks and Davey's done it with his :) Posting from phone so dont have the details but have a google.

(I only just made it, so I can't say much ;D)

NokkonWud
26-09-2008, 22:05
THanks for tonight, can't believe I dropped after less than a minute. I have put about 3 and a bit hours into Bad Company today and it didn't skip a beat. Very odd.

leowyatt
26-09-2008, 22:21
sorry about my disappearance too :/ first time the next has been funny since we moved :(

Haly
26-09-2008, 22:28
I didn't get cut off. but sorry for being rather quiet tonight :)

Should be about tomorrow I think :)

NokkonWud
28-09-2008, 00:44
I'll be about tomorrow. And all next week. And if my job doesn't start... the week after. Oh joy!

28-09-2008, 11:31

Haly
28-09-2008, 18:15

So I assume so :) I'll text him later if need be as he's been quiet on MSN.

NokkonWud
28-09-2008, 19:03
I watched the F1 and football earlier, cooked dinner, then thought 'I'm tired' and went back to bed. Saw I had a text about it and now I'm online :).

Haly
29-09-2008, 23:54
Can't remember if we did do this, but just in case we don't get all the achievements upon completion:
You must even watch the opening cutscene on the same difficulty to unlock the Campaign Complete achievements.

Haly
30-09-2008, 11:45
Today then? :D
*is keen*

NokkonWud
30-09-2008, 12:16

Man Utd are on the telebox at 7.45pm :p.

Haly
30-09-2008, 12:23
I'm fine to :) Have to see what the poor working people want to do ;)

Daz
30-09-2008, 13:28
I should probably be able to make then :)

The intro is listed as a level yeah, so we'll sit through that later. It isnt very long :)

2 levels to go!

Haly
30-09-2008, 13:30
I want to finish it, but I'll also miss our 4 player co-oping. There needs to be more 4 player co-op games!

Daz

Haly
30-09-2008, 15:42
You awkward lot :p

Daz
30-09-2008, 16:22
If we're hardcore we could get them done tonight. Short levels, the last one especially so..... though we may die a lot here if we're crap :D

I think you mean 3 ;).
If you're lucky the other guys might join us going over that level again ;)

NokkonWud
30-09-2008, 16:24

Only if he's nice :p

leowyatt
30-09-2008, 16:27

the people you hate most :D or if that isn't clear enough, you recently lost 2-1 to us ;D

Yeah we could repeat that level no problems for me.

NokkonWud
30-09-2008, 16:37
Yeah, gloat whilst you will, only took, what was it, 8 years? 5 for you to score a goal of your own and it took a cock-up from our 2 most 'experienced' players :p.

But oddly, I don't hate Liverpool, never have.

Haly
30-09-2008, 16:49
I'll be online from 6.30ish so free any time from then :)

Daz
30-09-2008, 18:52
Just gonna grab a drink then I'll host the game :)

Daz
30-09-2008, 19:47
Feels odd finishing before we've normally even started!

One more to go :)

Haly
30-09-2008, 19:48

Erm then Thursday you can post 'bloody Bookkeeping people'? ;D

I'm on my own tonight, so could start at 6 if that better fits with people's schedules.

Haly
01-10-2008, 11:17
I'm off to the cinema this afternoon but not sure when yet, usually it's for 3ish so should be about after 6. I'll know for certain later :)

leowyatt
01-10-2008, 11:20
Will have to check if we're home from work!

NokkonWud

Haly

:(

leowyatt
01-10-2008, 15:19
We're probably best postponing tonight :)

Daz
01-10-2008, 15:49
Now that I think about it that may have been the conclusion we came to last night ;D

leowyatt
01-10-2008, 15:52
;D I thought we said Thursday before we logged off because Nokkon said he had footy. I won't be on till around the time Jen is back anyway, might be later. So if I'm running late I'll text one of you to say go ahead and I'll go back over it at another time.

Haly
01-10-2008, 17:17
I'll be about tomorrow 8.15-8.30ish :) Depending on how quickly the entire class gets the hang of whatever we do tomorrow :p

Haly
02-10-2008, 16:06
Tonight 8.15-8.30ish? :) I'll be texting Nokkon to let him know if so :D

leowyatt
02-10-2008, 16:16
I'll keep you guys updated as I might not be on till later, say around 9.

Haly
02-10-2008, 16:17
Nps :) I'll have my phone with me when I go out later so I'll keep an eye on things :D

Daz
02-10-2008, 16:25
Only one level left so a late start is fine. Even at 9:30 we'd be done by 10 :)

Haly
02-10-2008, 20:06
I'm now available whenever tonight :D
Edit: Pre-emptively though: I'm not about tomorrow :p

Daz
02-10-2008, 20:46
I am around, though may need texting. We've emptied the living room of furniture so I'll be playing on the floor :D

leowyatt

Haly
02-10-2008, 22:55

Really enjoyed the driving part, got the adrenaline going ;D

Roll on an expansion pack :cool:

leowyatt
02-10-2008, 23:06

Sorry Nokkon for my crap and slow driving ;D

That was a bargain for a tenner, muchos fun.

NokkonWud
03-10-2008, 16:11
Just got back home, i.e. just got infront of the Internet (which is why Haly had to keep me updated all night :p).

Really enjoyed that last level! Your driving was superb! Can't believe it's the same person who got in the passenger seat, or kept turning the wrong way last week! :o.
Must admit, thoroughly enjoyed it in 4 player, but as I never finished Halo 2 I blocked my ears and closed my eyes on the cut-scenes to avoid ruining anything.

Just need to do Level 4 (IIRC), so if you're about Daz, any chance of some help? Or even Daz and Leo if you're both around tonight? :D.

So is the expansion pack going to contain more campaign then? If so, I'd love to go through it with you 3! What a laugh it was, I'm actually disappointed it's over!

leowyatt

I'll be about mate but sadly not near my xbox so I think Daz is your man. If not I'll give you a shove over the weekend :)

I think we'll all be getting that ;D I was never a halo fan but after playing it with you guys I'm a convert!

What a laugh it was, I'm actually disappointed it's over!

Me too, said to Daz and Jen last night "What's next" but I don't think are that many 4 player co-op games about :(

Daz
03-10-2008, 16:47
We dont really know anything about the Halo expansion yet, but it's a fair bet 4 player co-op will be involved!

We've got people coming round tonight Nokkon, but I might be able to join you for a quick blast around 6:30/7:00 (no later though). Only thing we might have some fun sorting just the two of us is the skull. Bit fiddly, we can have a go thogh.

I think we'll all be getting that ;D I was never a halo fan but after playing it with you guys I'm a convert!
Halo 1 is one of my favourite games ever purely because I played it co-op split-screen with a friend solidly. I think its charm is in co-op.

Me too, said to Daz and Jen last night "What's next" but I don't think are that many 4 player co-op games about :(
There really aren't many, however Call of Duty 5 is... :p.

We dont really know anything about the Halo expansion yet, but it's a fair bet 4 player co-op will be involved!

We've got people coming round tonight Nokkon, but I might be able to join you for a quick blast around 6:30/7:00 (no later though). Only thing we might have some fun sorting just the two of us is the skull. Bit fiddly, we can have a go thogh.

Just recovering my gamertag (some idiot left their Memory Unit w/ Profile on at their friends) so if it's recovered in time then definitely, if not, the weekend is a good option for most I think.

Yeah I want more too!
Although it's definitely encouraged me to play more co-op of other games, really does make it much more fun :) So if anyone's ever up for GoW or Crackdown.....:D

I'm not about tonight, but any time over the weekend is good if all 4 of us want to get Nokkon his last achievement :)

03-10-2008, 17:30
Well I'm sure I can rent COD5 for some online co-op then :D

NokkonWud

Thanks for that Daz and Haly, got the SP achievements for Legendary now. Really looking forward to the DLC, I think it's a case of buying it at any price for me if it's half as fun as that it's worth it.

If you want to do Crackdown Haly, I'm about, I need to do it too and I've already offered my services for GoW :).

Haly
04-10-2008, 01:55

You guys fancy one more outing before the expansion? I'm looking for a team to do an achievement and figured you lot were alright :p ;)

Vidmaster Challenge: Annual
After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
The catch? It's a 0-point achievement. Bungie say that the challenges will yield some reward later on, just not GS.

Iron is the killer skull - anybody dies, everybody reverts to the last checkpoint, so it'll take a bit of patience. If you're a score whore not an achievement whore, or just dont have the patience for it, no worries :)

Sped up time video example super happy fun time!

Haly

Yeah go on :)

NokkonWud
06-10-2008, 13:28
Do we get the metascore achievements? How do we go about getting those?

Daz
06-10-2008, 13:35
We could turn the scoring on but it's harder to get the achievements with 4 people as the points get spread thinner. Not sure if it's allowed on for this, not sure I'd want to risk it either :D

To turn the scoring on, go to campaign and press X, then choose your skulls :)

NokkonWud
06-10-2008, 14:11
Ahh. I'll probably do that with my mate then.

Daz
06-10-2008, 14:25
I went through them on my own - normal difficulty, skulls: Famine, Fog, Catch and Tough Luck. You can play the levels as normal and not really have to worry about anything :) With two or more of you you might want to bump it up to Heroic - depends on how fast you can finish the level really.

Daz
07-10-2008, 14:10
When do you guys want to have a stab at this then? I'd put an hour aside :)

NokkonWud
07-10-2008, 15:31
Well, I'm back home now. You have my mobile number, so feel free to give me a text whenever you want to get started.

Soulja
07-10-2008, 20:23
I still need to finish this on legendary, anyone want to help me one weekend? :)

Daz
08-10-2008, 11:40
If you can catch me on it at the weekend I might be persuaded to lend a hand :)

Nokkon/Jen/Leo - you guys free tonight to attempt that achievement?

NokkonWud
08-10-2008, 11:42
I should be free later on as I'm at football at 6.30pm, so should be back around 8.30pm.

leowyatt
08-10-2008, 11:43
I might be about guys but it won't be till late on say after 10 ish sorry.

Daz
08-10-2008, 11:45
Might be better to save it for another night then if you both have plans. Pretty sure this will take longer than 25 minutes :D

leowyatt
08-10-2008, 11:46
what are we doing again? :o

NokkonWud
08-10-2008, 11:48
what are we doing again? :o

Halo 3 on legendary again, but with the Iron skull active meaning that if any of the 4 of us die, we all die.

Daz

That :D

Quite looking forward to it. It'll be tough but it's a good excuse for another 4 player outing :)

Haly
08-10-2008, 11:48
I'm not about tomorrow or Friday night, other than that should be fine :)

NokkonWud
08-10-2008, 11:49
The weekend it is :p.

What do we think to Saturday night then guys? We're out tonight so will be in tomorrow :)

leowyatt

can't do the evening on Saturday but should be available anytime up to around 4pm :)

Leo is too busy watching Strictly Come Dancing and X-Factor it seems.

leowyatt

You are almost right there :p Leo infact doesn't have a choice :p ;D

EDIT: Though that Ola Jordan is a right hottie ;)

Don't think I'll be about tomorrow afternoon I'm afraid!
Sunday I think I am though, but not sure yet.

Dare I ask what we're doing tonight? :D

NokkonWud
13-10-2008, 12:13
Halo 3?

Daz
13-10-2008, 13:34
Hopefully!

Haly

Should be about :)

Haly
13-10-2008, 17:56

I'm about whenever now. Leo - you in?

Haly

I'll be there shortly :) Just been playing with guinea pigs :D

Daz
13-10-2008, 19:25
Anyone seen/heard Nokkon?

Haly
13-10-2008, 19:26
I'll text him :)

Daz
13-10-2008, 22:16
That was hard man, really enjoyed it though. Triumph through adversity :D

Nokkon - What happened dude? We lost you during the cutscene and looking on xbox.com your achievement didnt unlock :/

Haly
13-10-2008, 22:30
That was good fun :D
Very satisfying even if it was 0 points ;D

leowyatt
13-10-2008, 22:47

Nokkon - What happened dude? We lost you during the cutscene and looking on xbox.com your achievement didnt unlock :/

I left during the cutscene, though I left the Xbox360 on. Turned the headset off, speakers and monitor, perhaps my Xbox Live connection was lost or something - I had a prior engagement to watch a movie tonight which I totally forgot about so had to dash as soon as that cut-scene started - Already delayed by 25 minutes ;).

I did however get the achievement :).

NokkonWud
16-10-2008, 00:12
Right, that's annoying. As I said, I did get the achievement, but you're also right, it didn't unlock.

If I look at my games list through my profile on the console it's quite clearly there:
"Vidmaster Challenge: Annual - Unlocked 13/10/2008 - 0g"

However, if I look on Xbox.com it's not there. My Xbox360 HAS been online so it should have registered - all I can hope is that come my next achievement unlock this uploads onto the site. It's actually peeved me a little bit if I'm being honest.

Haly
16-10-2008, 00:17
That's annoying :(

Daz
16-10-2008, 05:26
How odd, never seen that before. Have you fired up Halo since? Maybe it'll sort itself out when you unlock another achievement in it.

NokkonWud
16-10-2008, 12:41
That's a good point, not tried Halo 3 since. I'll try to get another achievement later on.

Daz
16-10-2008, 12:49
If you need help there's a quick multiplayer one we can do in social :)

NokkonWud
16-10-2008, 13:52
Oooh, I'm intrigued! :).

Daz
16-10-2008, 13:54
It's not very exciting :p

Board the same vehicle within 10 seconds after being boarded in any free for all playlist.

The other, original online achievements are ranked, so we cant join a game together. There's probably some campaign ones you could do too - like 10 headshots. Or the scoring ones.

NokkonWud
16-10-2008, 14:03
Ooh, any chance we could do the vehicle one please? I'm free whenever, want to do it now?

Daz
16-10-2008, 14:11
I'm at work mate :) I should hopefully be leaving early today though (been here since 6:30!), so might get chance shortly :)

Excellent. I'll keep an eye on the forum, or alternately, as I'll be on my Xbox360 most likely, could you send me a message?

Guys, I managed to get it, but it's not too easy with people chasing you. Creature needs it, pretty sure Haly does too and possibly Leo. Is there anyway we can all pile on tonight and share the love?

5 people has to be easier than 1 or 2 :p.

leowyatt
16-10-2008, 15:34
I'm sure I can spare 20 minutes or so :) just need to get back to Lego Star Wars :D

Ah well we can do it another time :)

Creature
17-10-2008, 10:58
I'd forgotten how easy Halo is online, played ranked for the first time in months yesterday, and did pretty well. Scores may show me as being 4th/5th, but considering top was 21 kills, joint second was 20, and I had 19, it's not too bad really. Run, shoot melee, result :)

NokkonWud
17-10-2008, 11:05
Yep, that's all it is for the most part. Shoot with your rifle til it empties than slap em across the chops.

Even easier with the rocket launcher.

Daz
17-10-2008, 11:39
You missed Rocket Race last weekend, which was an absolute hoot. 4 teams of two, 4 mongooses - one drives, one shoots, and it's a race around waypoints.

This weekend is Grifball (http://www.grifball.com/howto.php) :) Think they're doing infection (zombies vs humans) for Halloween too.

I'll be up for some MP after i've knocked out the last few online achievements. I don't know how you did it Daz, especially 10 kills without dying, i've only ever managed 5 a few times.

Daz
19-10-2008, 14:45
Crazy King on The Pit - Head for the guns. You wont make any friends but that's a common technique. I got mine by fluke really - I actually have 2 (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=DazWorrall) frenzy's in ranked, and one Running Riot (15 kills), all more luck than judgment. Same with Overkill really (I have a video (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=53596057) in my file share showing that one).

Creature
19-10-2008, 14:48
Yup, exactly what I just did, god I got some abuse after it. Got a few triple kills but never the 4th :(

Daz
19-10-2008, 14:50
I gave up trying to force Overkill and it just happened - on Swords no less, and I'm useless with the Sword.
