Melee its non existent in Halo 3's turtle gameplay.
Hell no. Clone Wars series was in decay since Season 3 I think, so Darth Maul was the coupe de grace of cancelling the serie.

Star Wars EU is very fickle stuff. The Clone Wars CGI series is pretty fantastic. The comic was just a one shot they usually get a pass because they are basically universe "what if?" scenarios. Poor writing can be excused.
Some of the novels like the Thrawn trilogy are well regarded and actually pretty amazing.
I know we have this conversation every three weeks about ranking the Halo games but I'm 100% with you.
Halo 3 was the best game in the sense of content it had.
Theater, Forge etc all new in the series, hell no other Halo game introduced that many complete new features. If you count ODST as Halo 3 addon even Firefight.
But in the sense of multiplayer gameplay it is still good but Halo 2 was just better. And with Halo 3 the melee system went to shit, man I loved Halo 2's

I really think Halo Spartan Assault will be this years "ODST", standalone SP + Halo 4 MP. Further, I bet the story is a evolution of Spartan Ops Season 2 (bleh).
Oh shit, cool stuff. I expect to see a lot more of this, likely tied to a map pack, Halo Spartan Assault...or...micro transactions.

This actually sounds somewhat likely. I'm still wondering if they will make something for the Xbox One that will release closer to launch than Halo 5 (which I'm not expecting for another 18 months). I still have hope for a Halo 2 HD at launch.

So because you think that Halo 3 is the best Halo game that makes every mechanic/element in the game perfect?
He implied it wasn't a good game.
If you look critically and really intently, you'll too find out Halo 3 wasn't a good game. Oops!

I personally think the power of the two hit melee works fine in the current sandbox. Everything else is so strong these days no one would ever melee if it returned to a 3 hit. And with things like the thruster running up for a melee can be more difficult against better players. Now if only the strafe was slightly better there wouldn't be as much of an issue.

You replied to me...
To be clear, compared to its predecessors I don't think Halo 3 is a very good MP game, but that wasn't the point. Each Halo MP has its own set of things it does well and things it doesn't do so well.
Wow really? You know the entire game doesn't revolve around melee hitboxes and BR netcode?

I would have been a better playlist manager than Shishka.
Halo 3 is terrible, they totally screwed up core mechanics of a FPS. Moving and aiming in that game is like slogging through shit. I guess all those awesome features helped people get used to the chore that was aiming and moving in that game.
I don't know how you go from smooth playing games like Halo CE and even Halo 2, then to Halo 3.

Almost 100% of multiplayer does, so...
Thanks but I can only get on in about 30 minutes or so

I see where your complaints are coming from and perfectly understand them, but where Halo 3's melee system wins me over is its a) consistency and b) it feels great to melee people. I never liked to beat down enemies in either Halo 1 or Halo 2. In Halo 1 I always felt disconnected from the action, like I was hitting things with a disconnected arm. Halo 2's removed the disconnect I felt, but the act of hitting things felt weak. Online, there was always a chance you could encounter latency with melees and hitting someone that resulted in no damage. Halo 3's melees felt powerful; like you're really doing damage. Never had a huge problem with latency for it. I loved it.
I recently finished Hindsight: ODST. For those of you who are reading (probably not many, if at all), I hope you guys like Coastal Highway. You should check that out if not any of the others. Thinking about starting my review of Halo 4's campaign. Question is will I have time...
You should get good at it then
Ice cold.
Kind of hard to do well when your teammates are spinning in circles and I'm getting teamshot.
halo 5 at e3 confirmed
Frankie is just happy that his split thread idea finally happened.
Stinkles said:
Yeah, the "
" means totally Halo 5, in the Forerunner language. I don't think we will see a Halo 5 at E3. I hope for Halo Wars 2 or Halo ODST 2. Would be a cool birthday present, but that's only me dreaming.
Make it happen Frankie, please,

How is it for someone with only a passing familiarity with the source material? I know its about a guy who eats people and a cop.

You don't need any experience with the source material as far as I'm aware.

I've never read the books or watched the movies, but I find it very enjoyable.
You don't need to have seen or read the other stuff. There are coll references but not only does it have plenty of its own context, it's also deviating from the original source material because of some licensing issues (they can't use clarice starling, for example).
It is however one of the goriest things on broadcast network TV. I wouldn't call it scary, it's fascinating though.
And it's also the single most bizarre buddy cop premise on TV.

Sounds great. I'll make sure to check it out. Buddy Cop shows are kind of my GF's bread and butter of TV so that will help.
I need something since GoT Season is ending

You want them to change it in a very specific way?
What do you mean?
Do you feel like you own the franchise or something?
Where did that one come from?
Of course I don't. It was just astonishing that someone thought it would be a good design choice to turn invisible on demand in a FPS.
Don't they have anti-cheat for that kinda stuff on other platforms?

Very glad to hear that, I've really been enjoying the show.

The last Bulletin mentioned that all the maps are getting revamps, is there anything more specific on that, or is it just wait and see?

I like camo AA, why is it an issue when we have diverse playlists? This question goes for a shit-ton of other mechanics and praise/complaints too. As long as the settings and maps suit playlists the best solution is to include all and some new variants at launch with the next titles.
I've only seen the movies... Love the hell out of Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon was good, Hannibal was tolerable. I hated the prequel one though.
Going to have to check this show out.
Also now that you're browsing Frankie, who at 343 is going to be playing with the community when the update releases?

Essentially you suck at Halo, and like it when it makes it easy for you to get kills.
Not surprised.
