Reminds me of a great quote from the Halo 3 MP ViDoc.
"You realize a Warthog is barreling towards you..."
Man, any skill I had at this game is totally gone, I am fucking awful now 
Also it got a little bit better, but it was taking forever to find matches in Social Slayer, SWAT, or Big Team. In the first 30-40 minutes we were on literally got into a single match. Hopefully in the next few days more people get the free download and/or get back on the game some.

The weapon sounds are terrible. The BR spread is terrible and hit detection, ugh.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I am so annoyed that this finally happens three weeks before my Gold membership will expire after eight years (not renewing). They should make just this game free-to-play online once the XB1 releases or something. LOL, I know.

No they are better due to it having a unique sound and not generic.

Disagree, the weapon sounds don't have any punch to them (UNSC weapons i mean, covenant weapon sounds please stay).
Anyway, just finished the 1st mission of Halo 3's campaign. I haven't played it in a couple years, and I throughly enjoyed it. It was much funner than I remember!

The people who got their stuff on the last Bungie's Favourites sure are lucky. They've been up for years now haha.
Yes, I love my guns to sound like wet farts too.

I am mainly talking about the covenant weapons.

You're right - the feeling disappeared half way into my first game back. The FOV sucks but man do I love Halo 3. The map design is so boss in 3 - the H4 maps have no personality whatsoever. There is so many cool gameplay and visual design touches to the H3 maps. Plus real CTF where it doesnt show the flag carrier to everyone at all times ala Halo 4. They better change that shit back in H5.
They better change a lot of shit.
Remove sprint, AA's, perks and now you have a much better game.

Whoa, I just noticed that your character kicks up snow when he moves in a snow map.
Why did I never notice this before? lol

Snow and sand surfaces in Halo 3 are often set up so that models contact something beneath the visible ground layer, giving it a decent vibe of depth and softness. Some areas, like parts of Sandtrap, also feature awesome sand-blowing-over-the-ground animation layers.
These were the days. When players left footprints, when water had waves. When warthog headlights actually cast light. When the rivers swam with
killable
and physics'd debris and bodies downstream

one hell of a game and easily the most underrated Halo title. jealous that I can't join in on the fun!
I do plan on becoming obsessed all over again if that PC version comes to light, though.

I know it's an obvious money trap, but should I buy the $5 map packs? On the one hand, I don't like spending money on "free" games, but on the other hand, I don't want to be barred from games because I don't have the maps.

Wasn't that the temporary cover for Halo 3 at a point? I always liked that one.

Man, BTB on this game is so good when you manage to get a half-decent stream of constant matches going. Highlight was on Sandtrap, splattering a Banshee as it was taking off in a Chopper, then immediately clipping inside one of the big blocks nearby and dying.

I actually already have it, bought purely for the Halo 3 multiplayer. What's the difference?

That disc has all the maps.

Nah, it's all of 'em. Unless you can name any it's missing.
Hrm..it keeps saying I'm missing maps.
This happens sometimes when you go into the matchmaking lobby too quickly. To get the maps to load you usually just have to go back to the main menu and wait a couple of seconds and then go back to matchmaking. If it still doesn't load then you should go to custom games and try to switch maps, then the game will load all the maps.

I believe something like this can happen if you have the disc as well as the Games on Demand version installed. It'll load the GoD (without the extra maps) because they have the same game ID.

This makes me miss Halo so much.
None of this COD bullshit with perks and loadouts. I prefer a good old fashioned shooter, where you fight for control of the powerful weapons.
Please microsoft release Halo 2 HD with multiplayer. The last two Halo games have been awful multiplayer wise. It just doesn't have that Halo feeling. The only criticism I had of 3 were the maps, but the gameplay was fantastic. I don't understand why they felt to change it so much.

I forgot that going on another game after playing Halo 3 removes the films from your temporary list
Goodbye almost brute shot launch splatter.
Goodbye Killtacular on Last Resort.
Goodbye Overkill with Tank on Sandtrap from the dunes to the downed albatross spawn while off host
I still want to make a daytage/however long this population boost lasts-tage

Remember the Halo 3 beta you just pushed X to save the film after the game? Why they got rid of that I will never know.
Apparently had to do something with issues with it not saving the film correctly from that screen
Nope, it's the same thing as the non-Mythic disc
I'll just leave this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDgUU7PiMnI
Gracias. I remember hearing rumblings about installing Halo 3 being a bad idea, guess it isn't the case with the GoD version.

For you people without DLC, you might want to get ODST:
$6.99 used, here's the store locator (I'm sure your local Gamestop has a copy, but still)
If you have their powerup card or whatever take off 10%, and if you do have a card, give the cashier this promo code at checkout: EBC3041650
Takes off 20%, so your total would be something like $5.
