Halo 3 and more Show (explain)
Well I love playing command and conquer on my PC, so I would like to see
halo wars be alot like this. I think it would be cool to have a armory
where your could make snipers, mid range soldiers ,close range, maybe even
noob combo soldiers. A vehicle plant where you can make warthogs, scorpian
tanks, and maybe the human version of the ghost. for humans and ghosts
spectres and wraiths for the covenant. A airport of sorts where humans
could make pelicans and maybe a fighter jet to match the bansee, and were
the covenant can make banshees and other flying vheicles. I would like to
be able to play on maps from multi-player but the only ones that I think
might work are water works containment and coagulation. This is all I can
think of right now so i just wanted to say great job on the show. O ya and
a shoutout to my new clan PRO B!!!!
In Halo WArs i would like to see a galactic conquest similar to Star Wars
Empire at war. that game element really makes the player feel like he is
commanding a war not just a few skirmishes. It makes the game so much more
epic.
I think that HAlo Wars should come with a difibulator because evenyone who
plays it will be so overwelmed by its greatness that they will die of joy
and thus need CPR. At least i will.
YESSS!!!!! I’m SOOO excited about this announcement! A Halo RTS opens up
so many possibles for cool gameplay, sweet storylines, awsome
multi-player, and an overall more expansive Halo Universe. Here are my
thoughts and prodictions…
- The spartans you see in the trailer are going to be the first
spartans(unlike the spartan II project that Master C is a part of) that
initilally fought against the covinent when it was discovered. Also,
you’ll notice they have mark one armor, the same armor master cheif had
when the game was first being made for the mac as an rts.
- The game takes place when the cov is first at battle with the UNSC.
Which means if you’ve read the book The Fall of Reach, you know that John
(spartan 117/Master Cheif)is only 14 years old at that point and will
DEFINETLY not appear in the game. – Also, I doubt the games will talk about nor include the flood and any
talk of the forunners(at least from the UNSC).
- Because none of the Halo’s have been discovered yet, and the cov hasn’t
found earth yet, the game will obviously introduce/take place on new
plantets and maybe some we’ve read about in the novels.
- I think it would be cool if the game had heros, like in Warcraft III
- I think the peter jackson/wingnut interactive halo game will obviously
be a halo movie tie-in. So my guess is that it is either a halo 1
prequel(basically a Fall of Reach game) or a remake of halo 1 with scenes
from the movie slipped in. Whatever it is, I hope it doesn’t deminish the
relevence of halo 1.
- And last, I think these new additions, along with Halo 2 Vista, Halo:
Ghosts of Onyx (the 4th novel), and Halo 3 will overall make the halo
universe better and more expansive. Which in turn, means that podtacular
show and community will have EVEN more halo goodness to talk about and
enjoy.
Man I am so excided for Halo Wars. This game looks increadible. I love
RTS’s and Halo and i love Age of Empires. What I wanna see is some
forunners in Halo Wars. I know there is gonna be forerunner in Halo 3 so I
wanna see a whole forrunner army to control. I also want to be able to send
out Scarabs to fight in the huge wars. I hope the online play will be
awsome, thats what really was a dissapointment for the latest RTS games. I
just hope they focus all of their attention on Halo 3 and I mean ALL of it.
This game is gonna be bad ass.
well all i can say about this and its tralier is that ill buy it, and the
PRE RENDERED MOVIE was awsome its sort of what i have in my mind of what
the halo movie will look like, i really like what they did with the elite
was cool it had the preditor type Grrrrr.
and the sparten group omega looks like theye will give the covenent war!
great podcast guys!and keep on fraggin trucks
here’s what i want to see in halo wars- small, technologically superior
covenant armies fighting enormous human armies. Also, if you read the
Fall of Reach, there is a description of like five spartans fighting
thousands of grunts. that would be sweet in the game
I was a very big fan of Red Alert and I am looking forward to that style of
game play with spartans and elites. After watching the trailer for Halo
Wars and just being amazed by it, I hope there are a lot of movies in the
game of the trailer’s calibur after to pass levels and what not. That
trailer has me so pumped, but I better watch out, I’ve heard after four
hours of being this excited, I might have to see a doctor.
I think that they should have every weapon from Halo 1,2, and 3 avalible
to use in Multiplayer. Also possibly be able to download maps from the
previous games over Xbox Live. Also you should be able to interact with
the enviorment more, but not too much. I mean you shouldn’t be able to
make a building collapse, or destroy a base like on Beaver Creak.
Hey this CPT Church now known as EG Church. I have some ideas for HALO 3 I
hope you guys like them. Bungie should put in bots.
Also maybe bungie could put in some massive objective battles that can
take place on land, sea, air, or space.An example of an objective could be
like get into the covenant ship and blow it up from the inside and maybe
you can medals for doing heroic things and maybe you can get achivements
for getting the medals. Also maybe for theese types of matches maybe there
can be classes like they have In Team Fortress. For instance maybe you can
have kelly as the scout cause shes fast, Linda as the sniper because she
the sniper in the books and stuff like that. Also you guys should send
Bungie some of the best or most popular ideas you guys have gotten for
Halo 3.
P.S. Ihope you can drive Pelicans and/or Shadows in halo 3.
Also maybe with the assault rifle in HALO 3 if it
replaces the BR then it should have a scoupe on the thing that tells you
what way to go and you should be able to change what type of you fire like
burst fire, single shot fire, and automatic fire.
1) Instead of grabbing your secondary weapon in your “magic pocket”, your
character should have it equipped on him. Not only would it get rid of the
old game cliche of the magic pocket, but would put more strategic value
into targeting which enemy is the higher priority.
2) I would also like to see an option for more people in the games, not 50
or anything crazy like that, just would like the number count bumped to 24
- nothing radical.
3) I know you guys are going to get replies about, “take teh nooby sword
out cuz it requirez NO skill at all” but it would just make MORE sense to
ask for more game options to disable the sword on maps and other power
weapons.
4) Put the the jackle shield and Fuel Rod Gun in multiplayer, I don’t play
Halo competitively a lot so those who do are going to get mad over this
suggestion (mostly the jackle shield part) but you shouldn’t take a shot
at something you never tried and if it doesn’t work then hope Bungie makes
more specific game options to take out certain power weapons on maps. Did
you know that a shotgun blast at a jackle shield will just hit the person
back? Could make some good, never before seen strategies with the shield
in the game but you never know till you try…
1) Since Halo 3 has been said to be picked up by MLG Pro when it releases
it will be the main attraction to the mainstream to competitive gaming.
2) Don’t want to see the MasterChief’s face.
I am not going to get to complicated with new vehicles and everything, but
instead just improve on what we already have. In hale 2 all the melees and
basically the same with the exception of a little variety we get when
master cheif throws a punch with the plasma pistol. I would like to see
different melees for each gun and the ability to melee while dual
weilding. Like sandwiching your enemies head together with 2 smgs or
something. me favorite would be the needlers. you coulf like turn them
needle side out and stab them in the face. it would also make a kool
assasination the literally stab them in the back. (all this without making
it overly gorey). No one has really said that stuff yet so I hope oit was
original. Keep it up.
Halo 3’s story is going to be epic. Not only will it conclude the Halo
Trilogy story arc, but it will also reveal things about the Halo Universe
that fans have been pondering for years. Here are some of the things that
I want to be revealed in Halo 3:
Will Sgt. Johnson’s wife fly from her civilian space colony to save Master
Chief from certain destruction at the hands of the Brutes?
Can the Gravemind learn to love in a Romantic-Comedy style montage with
Cortana?
Is the Arbiter truly Arbitrary? Does he serve no real purpose in the Halo
Universe?
Will HaloHarmony.com be an actual matchmaking service in the year 2553?
Does Master Chief wear his sunglasses at night?
Why does Miranda Keyes run like her legs are tied together?
All of these questions and more have the possibility of being answered in
Halo 3!
Shoutout to Podtacular’s favorite girl gamer SwiftFish! (See, I can keep a
promise)
1) Pelicans! I think in Halo 3 multiplayer, the server should randomly choose one player from a team to be a designated pilot for the Pelican. This pilot would be armed with only a plasma pistol or a Magnum. This would encourage him to stay in the pilot’s seat. He would only have one life, of course, because if the Pelican crashes, he will most likely die anyway. According to the books, the Pelican can hold about 12 humans, but because Spartans are obviously bigger and heavier, it can only hold 6 Spartans, not including the pilot. I also think a cool option would be for the pilot being able to pick up and drop off Warthogs with a special sling or something, also featured in the books. The Pelican could be piloted with the left thumbstick, and the 50mm chain gun aimed with the right thumbstick and fired with the right trigger. Maybe you could shoot missiles with the left trigger. Having a Pelican would bring much more fun into the game, along with strategies for things such as dodging rockets, doing barrel rolls, etc.
2) According to the books, when Spartans are in combat and have their adrenaline pumping, their already-super-fast reflexes are put into overdrive, which is called Spartan-Time. It would be cool if this could happen in the game. Maybe not everything slows down (that would create lag and mess with the server on multiplayer), but maybe you would be able to see stickies and rockets move slower, or watch someone pop out of cover, so you could have more time to dodge, counterattack, or even shoot grenades in the air (if you’re good enough).
3) Another great addition would be dual-wieldable jackal shields. They would have the same strength as your coventional shields (displayed in the upper-left corner of you HUD), but it would not recharge. This would be great for protecting yourself at the last second, especially from noob combos (the overcharged plasma bolt would take it out, but you could still kill the guy). You would have to use the L trigger to raise the shield, and you couldn’t should the dual-wieldable weapon in your right hand while it’s raised, but maybe you could still melee with it up. It would also be great if it were sticky-proof. For example: a guy throws a sticky at you, but you raise your shield in time, and the grenade bounces off, giving you a chance to back away from the blast. Jackal shields would be a great advantage, even if they have to be balanced.
4) One last thing for now. Just to debunk what some have said on the show, the Master Chief SHOULD NOT lift the sniper rifle, BR, etc. up to his helmet when scoping for two reasons. One, it’s just weird to imagine it. Think about it; he lifts the scope up to his eye and hits himself in the faceplate with it. Just not right. And two, in the books, it describes him as having a direct computer uplink from the weapon to his HUD (this is how you get the ammo counter). He scopes the weapon, and no matter where it’s pointing, he can see the image being channeled directly to his armor. It just make so much more sense to me.
1)I have ideas for 2 new types of grenades: first, an EMP grenade that when detonated freezes anyone in the blast zone, or at least makes their weapons and shields not work at all, and second, a “hornet’s nest” grenade like the one used by the warden in The Longest Yard (with Adam Sandler): when it detonates, shards of metal shoot out everywhere and bounce off walls, creating a lot of damage.
2) I know people have wanted a Covenant version of the shotgun, so here’s my idea: a type of flak cannon that can completely take out shields, and when the shields are down the second shot can deliver the knockout punch and, if there is anyone behind the person you just shot, the flak will go through the person you shot and hit them.
3) One last suggestion for now: Online Co-op. If you could use the multiplayer server to play with 15 other people through the campaign levels, not only would this be killer fun, but it could strengthen team strategies like no other multiplayer practice could. Of course the covenant would have to be super-strong, or maybe there would have to be twice as many of them as on normal legendary.
For Halo 3 the clan system needs a revamping. 100 people seems like a
lot….until you look at something like the Clan of Bobs. Clans like us,
with always growing memberships surppass the 100 person mark quickly, and
it created problems for people in the clan who wanna find other members to
play with because on Live, they’re not a part of the clan and so don’t have
the other members on their lists. I think a 1000 player cap would be nice,
or perhaps no cap at all, because even 1000 could be surpassed. Obviously
this would require more organization than a simple vertical list, so I
propose a system wherein you have something akin to a clan dashboard. You
can from there carry out various clan functions, such as invite sending,
booting, messaging, etc. You would also be able to create personal
groupings of players for quick access. Think a friends list inside of
your clan. You would be able to pull this list up with the ease you now
access your clan list. The dashboard would be something you then accessed
by pressing, say, the X button.
I also believe that excessive quitting from matchmaking games should be a
suspendable and eventually bannable offense. If you have to leave for
legitimate reasons, fine. It can;t be that difficult to identify people
who enter team carnage, see the gametype, quit, reenter, see the gametype,
quit, and on and on and on. Smae goes for other playlists. This ruins the
game expierience jsut as much as cheaters.
My idea for Halo 3 is for there to be a needler grenade of sorts…
When it explodes a needles (like from a needler duh) shoot out at super
fast speeds and that do alot less damage (but there are alot of needles to
do damage…This grenade would beable to stick to walls and scenery but not
players and explodes 2 seconds after contact with anything…This grenade
would be helpful for damaging players but not killing them…
I also want hang em high to be brought back as a map!
Great podcast, in halo 3 i would like to see more multiplayer skins.
Think about it, UNSC troops, Hunters, Foo mo jive… awesome. I would also
like bigger maps that you can use the scarab, pelican, and phantom on. Last
but not least It would be great if there was a map creater like in tony
hawks pro skater. You could make custom maps for custom games!
What Halo 3 needs:
1. New Grenades.
Smoke- preferably with a similar effect to the smoke in Call of
Duty 2
Remote Detonation- You set it up then perhaps use the black button
to detonate.
Motion Sensing- A grenade that goes off when you move by it. Can be
avoided by crouch walking.
2. This is my theory and wish for Halo 3: Dual Function Guns!
Some people think that the gun in the Halo 3 trailer looks like an
assult rifle and some thinks it looks like a BR, well I think (and hope)
that it’s both and can be switched between the two functions. It would
have a more powerful burst mode, and a automatic mode. This Dual
Functioning would apply to some but not all other guns as well.
3. Pelicans and Parachutes!
Just think for a moment how cool it would be jump into the back of a
pelican as your friend lifts it off the ground, other team members are
firing off its guns, and you and the rest of your buddies looking out the
back as it flys over into enemy territory. You spy a rocket flying towards
the back, you hold ‘X’ to get out of your seat in the back then hop out,
part way down you pull your parachute and look back up to see the pelican
take a major hit (the first of the 5-6 rockets needed to take it out).
Some of the people in it die.
Thanks for reading this if you do on the show. I know it’s long but I
worked on my normally terrible spelling for you guys. Thanks for helping
me get involved.
hey podtacular, this is fag biscut. what i want to see in halo 3 is a
pelican, but to balance it out, someone holding the bomb, oddball, or flag
cant sit in it, but, the pelican can carry all vehicles (excluding
banshees). See ya later.
on halo 3 they should have not depleteing energy sword on compagin or make
it less energy per hit and limeted like halo 2 campagin on multiplayer
I think that in Halo 3 there should be a really big gun, like the scarab
gun but it would look better and be so strong it would make a BABAAAAM!
noise when you fired it. Playing as a forerunner would be cool too.
i think in halo 3 there should be a multiplayer map called The Armory. each
team would start in a room with EVERY weapon in it. then after everone gets
a weapon, you leave the room and its a huge field with all the vehicles
there and some rocks for cover. then the opposing sides would just blast
the living snot out of each other!
i also think that there should be a WAR gametype similar to what there
doing in Call of Duty 3. it would be either a 12 vs. 12 or 15 vs. 15 on a
huge map, twice the size of containment. each person would choose what
they wanted to be whether it be sniper, rocket guy, ground forces, or a
vehicle pilot. snipers would snipe of course, the rocket guys would go and
take out the enemys vehicles, and the vehicle pilot would take the ground
forces in a pelican and drop them off at a certain location to battle the
enemy/capture the flag/arm the bomb.
one more thing that i would like to see in halo 3 would be use of the
D-pad. you could use left and right to look around corners and up could be
a small sprint and down could be used to go prone.
I am 99.9% sure that Halo 3 will be released on 7/7/07. Here are 7 reasons why…
1. The date 7/7/07 from a marketing standpoint would be a great release gimmick (not that Bungie even needs and gimmicks to sell the game at this point)
2. There are 7 Halo’s in the Universe
3. 7 is the holy number in the bible and Halo is chock full of bible references ( for example, the covenant, the flood, the ark, the word “halo”, etc.)
4. It will have been 7 years since Halo 1 was first shown to the public at E3 in 2000
5. 7 is generally excepted by socity as lucky number
6. This seems like the kind of thing Bungie would do.
7. But most of all, this means it would come out 7 months after I, Nightfox10, turn 17. And if that’s not reason enough for Bungie, what is?...
When Cortana said “This is the way the world ends,” she is referring to a TS Elliot poem that reads
“this is the way the world ends
“this is the way the world ends
“this is the way the world ends
“this is the way the world ends
“Not with a bang, but a whimper”
(wow, so poetic)
This is also referred to in the Cortana letters. She said something like “your poet elliot had it all wrong, this is the way the world ends.”
That means the world will end with a bang. For background information on halo’s plot I would recommend looking at the Cortana letters area of marathon.bungie.org. You can find information there since they sent the emails to prominent marathon players in 1999 to hype their latest project which just happened to be Halo.
They should have a new weapon that is called the plasma cannon, it should
shoot a HUGE ball of plasma, that is blue, that when it locks on it
follows armour (because it is metal, and plasma likes to hit metal) the
shot wont kill the guy, but paralize him for a while. This is kind of
like the fuel rod gun, but wont dive down.
Some things I would like to see technical-wise are:
- The ability to quickly mute people in-game.
- Have the option in Campaign to make in-game scripted dialogue be
captioned (like “Jackals in the Courtyard!”) because my brother’s deaf.
- The ability to “Message all currently Online Friends” in one go, much
like how you can message all friends in one go.
Some things Game-wise: [] Have lots of control and options in creating a custom game, such as the
ability to make someone automatically switch teams when killed, and the
ability to make it go one way or the other or both.
- Have different Spartan Armor choices, such as the one featured on the
Ghosts of Onyx Cover, with no effect on gameplay, just aesthetics.
- Have the ability to have a Hud-less game, so you can film without
“modding” (after all, Bungie condemns modding on Xbox LIVE which I 100%
agree with, but it’s not okay to them even in a custom, yet they have no
problem when it comes to the Machinima)
Alright, since everyone wants the Pelican, why not make it vital to certain
maps. There could be a map that has many islands, and a pelican is needed
to successfully battle the other teams. Also, on the map side, there
should be a D-Day map, or some other famous battle. I know this sounds a
bit like assault, but think about it, you could start out with one team in
an armada of pelicans rushing to a covenant cruiser. After docking, the
“American” team rushes in to face the mass defenses of the covenant ship,
or German team. This could also prove to be an awesome gametype for
matchmaking. ALthough it could be disfunctional in some ways, I would love
it. Thanks guys for the best podcast out there.
Halo 3 would be great if it were like games such as Battlefield 2, Farcry,
and Crysis… primarily for things like large scale open maps, vehicles,
day/night cycles like in Crysis. Battlefield 2 multiplayer even though you
play the same map it is never the same experience when you play online
against other players.
The original Halo if you can still find footage anywhere had a hint of
large maps, and even dinosaur like creatures… all this was stripped out
when Bungie was bought my Microsoft and they cut down their offerings for
the xbox.
I things I really want in Halo 3 are time
dentenators and perhaps self-dentenators. With them you would be able to
suprise enemies as they walk around corners or sacrfice your own life by
planting one and blowing it up, which might work in CTF to keep the
opposing team away from your flag. Especially if it’s not a touch-return
CTF match. This feature really works well with many numerous Star Wars
games and most other war games. I really hope this gets read, it’s the
second time I’ve sent something in, and it’s a really good idea this time.
I hope. By the way, I’m pretty sure I spellchecked this ;)
Ok, everyone hates the n00b combo gun and the sword. They are the two most
annoying weapons and don’t really rely on any skill which is what pisses
me off. Anyways, I thought it would be cool if they had a block feature
that allowed you to deflect or not take as much damage when you got hit if
you timed it right.
You don’t even need to have an extra button, I was thinking maybe they
could use the beat down/melee button.
The way I pictured it would be if you deflect/block a n00b combo, your
shield would just take half damage. If you deflect/block a sword dash,
your shield would take half damage, and so would theirs. I say theirs
would also because: a) you beat them down and b) they are n00bs for
relying on the sword. : P
Idk if im the only one but i believe a really nice feature that doesnt even
have to do with the game play is to have customizable friends list. Where
you can put people into groups so it is easier then going alphabetical.
Also I think it would be nice to be able to reload one gun at a time when
dual wielding. For EX if u have 2 magnums 1 almost out and one with just
one bullet shot u could reload the one gun instead of reloading both and
putting urself into a tough situation. Also you have to have more secrets
like with the skulls in Halo 2. Maybe this time it can be a picture of JVB
or the podtacular logo on a rock… What we can always hope it happens :)
i would like to see a game type called FLOOD! its basically regular
multiplayer, but the game would release the flood onto the map at random
times. when some one dies their body would remain on the map for a longer
period of time. while the dead bodies are still on the map the infection
flood could re-animate the bodies and become flood. i think with the new
hardware this could be possible. also i think this would add a new level
of stratagy to the game that has never been there before. everyone would
have to constantly be on there toes.
In halo 3 they need a msg gun. It will still affect a person after you
kill them and it will slowly poision them. But they need to have no
shields.
I’ve started calling this the “Million-In-One” theory since it takes a bunch of other peoples opened arguments and, by sewing them together, answers them.
At the end of Halo 2 everyone picked up on 343 Guilty Spark’s mention of the Ark and immediately people start saying “Ark of the Covenant”. I recently noticed that this fits more nicely with Noah’s Ark and NOT because it has to do with the Flood (Anybody who was saying that before go look up Ark in the dictionary). Noah’s Ark acted to save mankind from a purge. This immediately applies to Halo the purge being the activation of the forerunner installations.
The other thread leading into my theory is the Prophets and the especially shady Prophet O’ Truth. The Covenant Writ of Union Canto I enlightens us to the Prophet-Elite war that nearly tore them apart but then they found the Forerunner artifacts. They then formed the covenant and blah blah. I think the prophets or at least Truth plans on using the Ark to save his own butt from the Halos.
This also ties into the Humans = Forerunner theory because if the forerunner activated the Ark they could have survived but I think they activated a Halo and weren’t able to be saved by the Ark this wiped them out.
P.S. Those things in the “Making of” video are going to be Sharquoi that were mentioned in Conversations from the Universe.
There should be an room above the flag spawn in a base on a multiplayer
level that has a vent that grenades can be rolled down to take out flag
campers.
some of the many things I want to see in Halo 3
1. New vehicles with new uses, (like a helicopter for humans, or an APC like vehicle for either side)
2. Better physics (imagine rocketing a Hog to crush someone on purpose)
3. Customizable armor
4. Some gametype to replace territories
5. A cool ending (we might get one this time)
6. A gun that shoots chocolate bars for when I get hungry playing Halo 3
7. A packed in toilet for when nature calls while I play Halo 3
I don’t know if any one has ever noticed but in the trailer and the making
of the trailer of halo 3 you can see the chief’s boot got dust on it from
the ground and his leg has like a orange sort of brownish stain on it.
Maybe a new feature is that your boots and armor can be stained by the
ground and the surrounding environment. Shout outs to Licence 2 Ill.
Hi podtacular I think that in halo 3 they should have a mode in the game
where you can choose a weapon of your choice and just have fun killing a
wave of the covenant and have unlimited ammo. You could play for a long
time of just killing and killing and more killing.
In halo3 i would like to see a map that takes place in outer space! but not
a normale space battle but more like the campaign level cario station, were
you are in outer space for one part of the level with low grav but when you
go in side the base the gravity will be turned back on! another thing that
would be cool to see in halo3 would be a giant statue in honor of me! well
thats all for now keep up with the good work.
Well I read the front page and I was trying to think of something creative
and my mind landed on the ability to lift up dead bodies and rearange
there positions to write stuff on the level or pile up a ton of bodies in
one pile and be able to honor there deaths by chucking a few nades into
the middle of the big pile.
Hey guys this is the 9 year old pwner himself, PurpleDemon666. I would like
to see in Halo 3 is that when you are in in the warthog, and about to get
the flag, you can pick it up while your in the hog, instead of getting out
and then back in.
Hey P-tac. Here are some cool things I want to see in Halo 3.
-A way to save a replay of a game and view it later.
-Being able to shoot through thin walls with some weapons.
-A better observation system for when you are dead. You should be able to
get first and third person views of all the players. Like in
counter-strike, where there are 6 different observing angles to choose
from.
-Make the carbine more like the BR so that It will balance out rifles
games.
-Be able to play as a Scarab.
In Halo 3 there should be an actual zombies gametype. YOu start as human
than if you die you become a flood. This would make zombies feel the part
and also eliminate the griefing that occurs in zombies when people don’t
change sides.
In halo 3 there should be a “weapon” called the camara. you can only get
this as a starting weapon. It’s primary funtion would be to make matinema
easier. it would funtion with cool stuff like track target where it would
automaticly track a certain player, or you could deploy it as a remote
controled flying camara to get those tough aerial shots for machinema. it
could even alter your voice to sound like a sexy news anchor. The
possiblities are endless! thoughts?
Hey I was recently reading a magazine about halo 2 and halo 3. One of the
thing the magazine metioned they would like to see is a way to record game
play. Not a capture card but something more like I program built in the
game that saves video to your hard drive for you to put on market place.
Anyways though it was a cool Idea. I love the show keep up the good work.
I always hear on podtacular on how people want the pelican in multiplayer
for halo 3. However, if you could fit more than one player in the pelican
at a time, the pelican could be a bit overpowered. I think that if the
pelican should be a transport vehicle, then only the pilot can use a
turret on the pelican, and the armor on the pelican would be stronger,
considering the pelican would only have one turret active.
However, if the pelican was more of an assault plane that would be used
for , there should still be extra players in the pelican besides
the pilot, but with a few different variations. First, each player except
one or 2 would have a turret that they could control. Also, if the pelican
is NOT used as a transport vehicle, it would be much easier to kill, and
players would only be able to get out one at a time while in flight.
Last, if you could choose the difference between an assault and transport
plane, the pilot could only control it by pressing the white or black
button.
Hi guys, Champion from bonnie Scotland here!
I would really like to see a bit more multiplayer options. It would be
nice if you could make teams start off with different weapons, and have
some built in gametypes such as zombies which forces you to change teams
to stop people cheating.
I would also like to see more measures in place to make sure modders are
PERMENANTLY banned from matchmaking, as it is very easy for them to make a
new account and continue modding. It is very unfair that peoples skill
should be overuled by cheating!
It would also be cool to have a gametype in which you can race warthogs
through checkpoints GTA style!
shout outs to everyone at podtacular for welcoming me so well! And a
massive shout-out to Ju Blaine who introduced me to Podtacular.
Keep up the great work guys
I hope that Halo 3 will look just as good as the Halo Wars Trailer, because
it would make it so much cooler than it will probally be anyway.
Well, there are some new maps i would love to see in halo 3. Mostly, a
Carribean map. It should look perfect, no damage, no nothing.Or it could
be like the island from lost. Really big with caves and such. If they have
all this awesome grahpic power, put it to good use with realistic water,
shining beaches, and forests with no 2d leaves. Just think, a green
spartan hiding in dense forestry, pops out, and assainates you. how cool
would that be!
I think that in halo 3 they should put in spartan 063 (aka maria) because since the halo graphic novel came out they made it clear that
there was a spartan still alive other than cheif. I just think it would be
cool to play as her.
In Halo 3, I would like to see possibly a couple of multiplayer levels with
boats. This could be used as a good strategy in some games and could even
be used for machinima purposes. I would also like to see the other
Spartains mentioned in the book in the campaign mode helping defend Earth
sice we all know there are others out there.
About the Halo Wars, sound cool! The game should follow the story line of
the books and original games. I would still prefer the FPS over the RTS.
It’ll be awesome if we can get a mech type thingy in halo 3, kinda like a
mini scarab, it’ll be faster but weaker then a tank, slower but stronger
then a warthog, and mabey it can have rockets on it as well as a turret, i
guess that will make a human subsitute for the ghost.
Selectable Random weapons.
Being about to choose what weapons player may spawn with at random.
Example: I set BR SMG and Shotgun as weapons you can spawn with and thats
it, so when you spawn your going to get one of those three weapons.
Hey Podtac. One thing I would love to see in Halo 3 is a garage and
customization of your warrhog. Just think, you could put in hydraulics,
spinners, and even customize your turret. Now you can be pimpin with your
marine bruthas and kickin covenant butt at the same time!! This could also
open up Warthog Rally in matchmaking. You could have entire tracks made for
the purpose of racing each other’s warthogs! Not only that, but maybe (kind
of like Twisted Metal or Full Auto) even a gametype with warring warthogs.
It could be in an arena or a track, but you could duke it out with your
friends in a killer warthog.
In Halo 3, I would like to see more clan administration features. First of
all, I think it would be cool to have the option to create a custom rank
(in addition to peon, member, staff, and overlord). For example, in the
clan that I was in, we created the rank of Titan, which could be achieved
by reaching the rank of 30 in at least three matchmaking playlists. Even
though we made it up, it was still neat to have an additional rank within
the group. It would also be nice to be able to message a single rank,
i.e. message just the staff/overlords to let them know about a meeting, or
to message peons about a rule update. Possibly the allowance of a clan
logo would be cool, maybe even an upload feature via bungie.net. The last
thing I would like to see in Halo 3 is a clan port feature from Halo 2. All these awesome clans that have stayed strong, even when the game
doesn’t have as many people playing it anymore, deserve to keep their clan
names. I know I wouldn’t want some punk kid who we beat up on in
matchmaking to go and steal our clan name just because he got the game
home first.
survival mode. you, with either three of your friends or three AI, in a
bunker, limited power weapon (sniper, rockets, shotgun) ammo, unlimited
ammo for everything else, unlimited waves of covenant. ammo drops for the
power weapons, reinforcement drops, turrets with limited ammo, all of that
would be a sick survival mode. eventually, you get to the end and there’s
tanks, a scarab, of course, to combat that, you get supply drops of special
weapons not found ingame, such as the “football nuke” mentioned in Halo
First strike.
A way of setting up tournies organized by the game itself would make lan
parties and tournies even more fun and easy to set up. Parties of more
than 16 players should be allowed into a special “Tourny Party”. The host
could set up his own game types or choose a matchmaking playlist as the
gametype set for the tourny. Teams could be randomly selected or
preselected for team tournies. I realise this addition to a UI could get
complicated quick, with Round Robin or double and single elimination
matches. It’s a lot to ask for, but Christmas is just around the corner.
I was just listing to some previous episodes, and
someone brought up a single pilot ship. It would be cool to pilot a
Longsword, but the map would have to by huge. Which brings to my other
subject, huge maps, like we all know that there will be bigger and more
maps. But anyway a good thing for halo3 woud be customizible (or
up-gradible) weapons. Like have a rocket launcher, then upgared it to fire
piloted missles or missles that have a nuclear effect. So thats what I
think should be in Halo 3. keep up the good work guys and keep on fraggin
trucks
Hey Podtacular. I have come from the realm of my computer to tell you about my favorite game other than halo. It’s The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. If you haven’t checked this game out, ya gotta. Especially if you like beating stuff up. Keep on fraggin trucks, and eating cheese nips and drinking mountain dew. smell ya later, supadoodman
I recently bought a copy of the godfather. It rocks my sockx off. You
advance in rank and can rob banks. You can’t just run in a room shooting
you have to take cover and conserve ammo. This game is awsome.
Over the summer I played BattleField 2 Modern Combat…Its fun and very
addicting. You can pick what weapon set you can have (Example: Assault,
Sniper, Support, Engineer, or Special Ops) The game has two gametypes,
Territories and Capture the Flag. They have some great maps and all of
them are HUGE….
queue foo mo to go ballistic on battlefield 2
halo 2 is one of the all time best games
but i play other games to. i play far cry a lot basically because of the map editor, because i made this thing called obsticaly which basically u i used the map editor to make obsticle maps.
i also play dead rising, its a really fun zombie game that you can use any
weapon you want in a mall, its really hard but its worth a try. i also play
battlefield 2 which is an awesome xbox live game, story mode isnt that fun,
but the game makes up for itself on live. keep on fraggin trucks and
sticking mini vans!!!
yo guys im gona give you guys a breif review on lego star wars 2 the
orginal triloglyfor the xbox 360.
now off the top this game is great its comedy values are great, there is
no talking through out the game just mumbling of sorts but they add suttle
changes to the story which i wont go into details.
now this game has MASSIVE replay value it the many charcters avaible to
play with, i think its 50 or so. and also the mini kits which are spread
out over the levels and make lego models.
and theres more stuff but this was a breif review so try the demo on
marketplace if you have access to live
but i give it an 8.5/10
Besides obssessing over Halo 2 all the time, I do indeed play other games.
I didn’t really get started on Halo until I got my Xbox 360, which was
this past May. I didn’t get Halo until this past July, and then couldn’t
get my Xbox live acount set up until mid-August. :P So, anyway, I’m
really into PC games. One of my favorites is World of Warcraft, if I ever
buy game cards, of course -.- another RPG I play is Guild Wars. It has
pretty good graphics and content, and WHEEEEE no per-month fees!! Y’all
should check it out. I also play alot of other RPG’s and First-Person
Shooter games, such as KOTOR 1 and 2, and Republic Commando. I am looking
into getting Chromehounds, Oblivion (If my Mom let’s me get it), and Dead
Rising for the 360. I hear they are all wicked fun, and I’ve played them
a few times at my Brothers house. Well, that;s all I can think of. Peace out for now Podtac. Keep on
fraggin’ Trucks!!
P.S. JVB is my Hero!! :P
Besides Halo 2 another realy fun game that I like to play is the original
Spierman for Xbox. I this game you get to play as spierman as he fights
villans such as Scporpion, Green Goblin, Kraven the Hunter, Shocker, and
the Vulture. You can also find special golden spiders that giver you
awsome fighting combos that require the same skills as BXR, BXB, RRX, and
all that other good stuff. So if you are looking for a good cheap Xbox
one game I sggufest Spiderman 1.
One game i play when i am not playing halo is Star Wars Empire at War. It
is an RTS game based in the star wars universe. While there have been
many such games, Empire at WAr is the only one that is worth playing. In
the game you play as either the Iron-handed Galactic Empire or those Rebel
scum. each side is very different for example, the imperials have to
research technology while the rebels have to steal it. The game is a war
on a galactic scale with over 40 planets, each with its own advantages and
disadvantages, to conquer or liberate. Battles rage from epic space
battles with everything from x-wings to stardestroyers, even the
Deathstar! After you conquer the space around a planet, you can launch a
land invation on the planet with whatever troops you transport to the
planet. there are at-at’s, stormtroopers, speeder bikes, and
snowspeeders. If you have bombers in orbit you can call down an airstrike
to devaste your opponents base. There is also online play for up to 4
players. All-in-all this is a well rounded RTS that is a must have for
any RTS or Star wars fan. there is an expantion comming out soon also.
In halo 3 i would like to see a 4 player coop option. I think it would be
awsome to team up with 3 friends and blaze through the legendary campaign
together. I would also like the option to switch the veichles destruct
ability on or off. Good job on the show, keep it up.
Hey podtacular crew, i have some halo 3 ideas i think should be put into
the game. First, i disagree with JVB and i think that the fuel rod cannon
should be made stronger and put into halo 3. Second, i am going to kick
the dead horse and say multiplayer bots. Third, different, balanced
character models would be nice. and finally, i think there should be
champagne unlockables. kinda like the skull system now, except have some
that change character models, bullets and sound effects. kinda of a
generic idea, but i think it would be cool.
I suggest that the people of podtacular check out Guild Wars: Nightfall.
It’s an expansion to the original Guild Wars and they recently held a free
weekend event. I was told about it by the guys over at the IRC and decided
to check it out. I had never really liked or decided to check out any MMOs
besides Ragnarok Online (which sucked and was mainly 2D) so I tried
Nightfall and I was hooked. I didn’t stop playing the whole weekend and
now i can’t wait for it to come out in late October. So if you guys like
MMOs go check Nightfall out.
The one game that i play the most, sometimes even more that halo, is
Conquer Online. It is a free MMORPG. You can choose from 4 classes of
characters: Trojan, Warrior, Tao(Magic), and Archer. This game is
slightly like World of Warcraft except you dont have to pay for it. If u
want to play it go to www.conqueronline.com and download it. I am
Ryo_Hazuki on the Virgo server.
my passion is CS:conditon zero and Halo custom edition and splinter cell i love those
games so much and i would like to see several elements of all 3 of them in
Halo 3 like i would like objectives like hostages or a bomb to ACTUALLY
DEFUSE a lot more stealth mission while still keeping that “haloey”
feeling other wise it would be a huge rip off of other games i guess there
could be room for this in multiplayer
