Please Keep Legacy

Has anyone who has ever played legacy or southpaw seen the increasingly decline of games that support this control setup. I mean I have been playing fps's from before some of you where even playing games. My first introduction to the console fps genre was golden eye for the 64. I would play that game for hours on end me and my friends would have tournaments and all that crap. Then came along the ps2 and the xbox. I loved them both equally, for the platforming and madden and one for the great fps's that came out respectively. Both still had the legacy because the gaming community would not stand for that dramatic change when these systems where only one removed away from the great era of the golden eye. Then came along the next-gen consoles which developers thought that we had forgotten about legacy and southpaw. But we haven't yet i still play legacy and a lot of other people play that way too. I feel like I have been missing out on some really good games. The video game industry should have a standardized layouts fro the thumbsticks: one should be default, legacy, southpaw and the revese of those i forget the names. Its just bullshit that I cant enjoy the game because I don't have enough time to figure out the new controls I go to school full time i work 30 hours a week. Well fuck you EA. EA is the biggest company that does that doesn't add southpaw and legacy to their control schemes. i really wanted to like moha but the fucking controls. Now i want to play the orange box and EA has decided not to add legacy and southpaw well fuck them I'm not giving them anymore business. I say if you play legacy or southpaw boycott until they include them. thats my piece.

Just thoughts...

O.k i was playing h3 for a few hours this week and it dawned on me that the best animators and other creative people are usually high or drunk when they do their best work. So i had to try it i got absolutely plastered with the thing i love to call the drunken kiwi (th fruit not the New Zealander.) cause it tastes like a kiwi fruit (ask me for the recipe some time and I might give it to you.). Anyways I got shammered and went into the forge. I started a map Sandtrap and i changed the game type to assault. Thats all i remember from then on. The next day i awoke with out a hangover and fired up the trusty 360 and looked to see what I did. I was thinking that I beat the game and had no memory of it but I didn't. To my surprise I had created a new map variant called sand and sun all neatly capitalized and spelled right. I then fired it up and brought it online. I invited some of my friend to play. They asked if i remembered any of last night i said no of course. Well come to find out it worked like a charm the first time and only a few minor tweaks where in order. Which i had written down on paper in a very drunken scribble. So my theory of the best stuff comes out when you drunk or under the influence of a mind altering drug actually works. It helps with the creation of a good map or game type. but you have to be in the zone of drunkenness. this zone is where you are feeling good but not so bad that you cant controll yourself. Ask anyone about the zone and they will tell you its good your kind of numb but still have full functionality. I get in the zone when ever I play Wii bowling.

PS. I don't condone underage drinking so don't get drunk. A lot can happen if you do. I mean I don't remember anything about that night except that I was playing for a long time slurring my words and everything.

the froge, and my drunken stuper

The forge is really cool it is an awesome tool to have in a console game because we cant go in and change the code and all that fun stuff. We on Halo 3 have a map editor instead. Think tony hawks park editor not with ramps but with guns. Check out my map called fire and ice beta v1. Me and my friends where a little drunk and in our drunkenness we decided to take Epitaph and put all the grenades on the map. Its fun when drunk or not. Please tell me whats wrong and how to fix it thanks. Heres the forum for my map variant http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13278198

Invasion of the Brats

Well guys the little ones have began to really play halo three. So its so long to the drunken nights with friends online and now time for the serious playing. The kid gloves have come on. Say goodbye to the nights of fragging your peers and hello to getting pissed off at the punk kid who kept killing you last night. They have no life they just play for hours on end. Sorry to anyone who wants to play with out the annoying screaming of kids and the really immature. There goes another good game to the annoying. Don't get me wrong i will still play online but when there is a little kid around i will mute him so i don't have to listen to him. The influx has begun and it will not stop until they all get it. I can't wait till Christmas time when Santa or the Dradle (sorry to all the Jewish peoples i don't know who brings your presents) brings them their copy of the game. Microsoft hows your underage scanner now. Its still not fully operational. Sorry for the post, but I get so pissed off when the little kids kill me then call me names that they learned by some noob who cant play a game. Then that kid tells me to go kill myself because i suck. well i have one thing to say enjoy it while you can you punk and please stop killing me.

Halo 3 Finaly some closure

Ok here goes. One of the most hyped games of the year has hit the ground running, and it is very good.

Maps
The maps are a lot like halo 1 and 2 but there are some big improvements. For example there are much more spawn points. The guns are much more spread out and every thing looks good if you don’t agree with something you can change it in the forge editor.
Game Modes
There are a lot of game modes but there is only a handful that you will want to play. There are the ranked servers and the unranked also known as the social servers. The modes are all picked out for you as game sets. The other big thing is the custom games which are cool I played today in a game that was gravity hammers and Spartan lazars.

Weapons
There are the usual halo weapons like the needler and both assault rifles. There are a few cool additions to the game like the very powerful Spartan laser, the spiker, gravity hammer and the new grenades. The new nades are fun to play with there is the spike and the little known firebomb. The spike shoots out spikes and it can be stuck to another person which is really cool. The little known firebomb is an incendiary nade that can burn anything in its path. The spiker is like the assault rifle and has a blade like the brute shot on it. The Spartan laser is like you would expect a laser that can kill you in one shot. The gravity hammer is the big hammer that the brutes use in the second game.
How it stacked up
Concept: 5 Bungie has just stuck with the tried and true with a few tweaks.
Execution: 5 still can’t beat it and a few new weapons.

Fun factor: 5 still can beat a great game.

Overall: 15 a prefect score there weren’t any big holes that couldn’t be filled and also you can fill them you self if you have the time.
