what is it exactly? ive seen the commercials, but i dont get what makes it different

>>36962702
It's like Halo, but without the shield regen and ZOMG healthpacks.

Also, more stealth.

halo sux

I'm thinking of getting it when it's cheaper, as Bungie themselves have said they don't see why it should be full priced-- but Micro$oft is making it that anyway.

But I am excited for when I actually do play it.

dont need to, all my other bros are already getting it.

This is actually going to be a good game, but /v/ is too cool to play good games.

>>36962702
More stealth and squad orientated (like Republic Commando if you've ever played it).

New weapons are the suppressed SMG and magnum, which now both have scopes and I think are stronger. The Brute Plasma Rifle from Halo 2 is also making a return.

Has Firefight mode, which is like Horde mode from GoW 2.

Halo more like Halblow

No regenerating health, you're not a super soldier, which means you can't run into things like an idiot. More squad based than the other games. It explores more of what happened in new mombasa. You find fragments left over from your mates and then you get to learn what happened to them, by playing as them.

If it was like 20 bucks then I would

>>36962702
Call of Duty, but in the Halo universe. 'nuff said

yaa lets buy the same game AGAIN

Gates and Jobs both are a master of this shit. "How to trick dumbasses out of their money."

Preordered it today. If we get any extra Limited Editions in, I'll change my preorder to that before the street date.

...I'm a sucker for anything olive drab.

>halo
>bros

Fuck off, you aren't a bro.

I would if I had a 360. But I don't so I won't.

>yaa lets buy the same game AGAIN

Oh you mean ninten-oh, nevermind.

Hell Yeah.

I love all consoles and PC. The only thing is I fucking hate sony. I figure by supporting this game I'm helping kill the playstation once and for all.

Shit Xbox 360 gets a $100 price drop, and GTAL Episodes from Liberty City and a new Halo game

PS3 is fucked. I'd buy this just for the lulz

>>36963015

Plenty of bros play Halo.

I'll be there OP, hopefully M$ change their mind about it being full-priced. Not worth $60 for a few maps and a campaign.

I prbably will

I honestly am.

If it's anything like Republic Commando I'm in.

>Not worth $60 for a few maps and a campaign.

Glad my dad works for MS.

I'll be getting it for $25

>>36962668

When it hits $40 or lower.

I was all set when they said $40, but fuck MS if they think Im going to purchase an expansion pack at full fucking price.

>>36962858

why is machinima filled with 14 year olds?

and why can't they spell?

>>36962668
I can't wait to get this expansion pack! Im hoping its in the $10-$15 range.

If you really like Halo, wait out on this. Show MS they can't get away with it.

Lol, I see the Sony Defence Force has dispatched into this thread, oh well.

I think the lack of new weapons isn't a problem, the new play style (stealth and squad) make it a very different game as opposed to "I'M THE MASTERCHIEF BITCH, GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY".

I'd buy it if it weren't an FPS on a console. Easily the only console exclusive I give a fuck about.

Does it bother anyone else that the only thing unexposed on the troopers is their fingers?

It should have been full body cover.

>Has Firefight mode, which IS Horde mode from GoW 2.
Fix'd

Meh, buying it for my sister. Not my bag.

Well seeing how it has less then 5 hours campaign and the EXACT same multi. Not anytime soon.

Im piratan the french leak now.

Already got a pre-order

I'm going to download it illegally because I'm a piratefag.

>>36963345

not one mention of sony in this thread, bro

Halo 3: scoped pistol and silenced smg edition

>>36962668
I have it paid off already. It looks like it might actually be the next good game in the Halo series.
Halo: good
Halo 2: crap
Halo 3: decent
I like the idea that they're going back to the shield and health system. Maybe it'll stop the completely regenerating health craze that's been picking up speed.

>>36963478
>less then 5 hours campaign

Sure, keep making bullshit up about this game to rationalize your bandwagoning hatred.

The Halo series is completely overrated. The only thing I give them credit for is their ranking system. When you see a 50 and your 40, you know your getting raped. 10th Prestige lawl...

>>36963383
Supposedly fingerless gloves make handling a gun easier. They should have used the two-fingered gloves that Big Boss used.

That would have made more sense.

>>36963478
You should know that when they say a 5 hour campaign they mean 1.5 for any real gamer

>>36963581
It's an expansion. Even Bungie said that it is short.

ps3 slim is going to get fucked in the ass by this and the new GTA

you gotta love it

>>36963478
It's actually a solid 7 - 10 hours.

I have never beaten a Halo game, just played a few matches of Halo / Halo 2 with some buds at college. I don't hate Halo, but I've never really been huge into it. I mean, it looks alrig--what's that? Like half the cast of Firefly is in this game? Preordered. Paid in full.

>5 hour campaign

lol, you sony fangoons crack me up

>>36963642
Gives you better dexterity, makes reloading/using the selector switch, etc. easier.
