Hunters in halo 3 legendary Tip

On the storm level, after you kill the Scarab, walk up that platform towards the door. When you get up there, turn to your left and there is a couple RoketPods. Bring it with you, just drop it and fight the brutes and pick it and go on. The pod will kill the hunters with 3 shots each.
On the Ark, when you see the hunters. Make sure you clear area of jakels. Save some sniper for the hunters. They will stay behind when everything pulls back so the hunters can work. Stay on that high platform, if you hide up there they will start looking and turn their backs to you. Keep an eye to your right, cause they will try to come around behind you. When you see one start to head that way, when he get to corner of the highwall he has to make a little bunny hop over a step. That gives you a LONG time to make the shot on his back. And if you hit him he'll turn around to go back to his place near his buddy. If he manages to get up there with you, through a the shield down near the edge of the platform, allot of times he will break it and jump back down if he doesn't see you.
On the Covenant, don't fire the laser more than 3 times, to would be better. Take out the first turret with it, I try to let the first brute get between me and the turent for a double kill. From where you popped the first turret, look across to near the back of the antiair-wairth you'll see two brutes side steeping in the open. They'll cross each other every 10or15 seconds, try for a double kill there too. I know there is a laser near the downed pelican but if the chief misses you he always and hits the downed pelican with the fuel rod gun and throwing it who knows where, so don't count on it being there. Save it till you get to the hunters. Two shots to kill the hunters, save the last shot for upstairs for the cheifton(sometimes I can get a triple kill on him). If you hit him alone it "should" kill him if you hit him in the face. But if you hit him and a couple of brutes he'll try to turn on his over shield.
The main tactic i use, is hide when they appear, then they will eventually start looking for you. when one turns around, try to stick his back. when you do this, the big plate will fall off, allowing for any precision weapon (sniper/beam rifle, and BR/carbine) to finish it quickly

Halo 3

Halo 3 has shown that it can drive hardware sales and that there is room for another price cut in the console, analysts say. And with more big titles coming during this holiday season and early next year, Xbox 360 console could move ahead of Sony's PS3 in the next few months and even overpower the Wii in the long run.

Halo 3 Skulls Tips

Iron
Level: Sierra 117
Directions: This skull is at the end of the level. It is located on the roof of the building to the left of the building where Sergeant Johnson is being held captive, if you're facing Johnson. You can gain access to the roof by jumping onto the pipes. Travel all the way over to the left side of the roof, and the skull is concealed in the corner.
Difficulty: Normal, Heroic, Legendary
Achievement Icon: A skull marked with a stylized drawing of a hammer
Effect: When playing co-op, if either player dies the game restarts you at your last checkpoint, similar to Halo 2 on Legendary. On solo, it restarts the mission
Point Multiplier: 3x
Black Eye
Level: Crow's Nest
Directions: It's in the same room you start in. Hanging down from the ceiling is some piping. On top of this piping, on the side nearest to the large display (the one that Hood appears on) lies the “Black Eye Skull”. You can gain access to the pipes a few different ways, one of the easiest however is to jump on the crate like thing, then jumping onto pipes from there.
Difficulty: Normal, Heroic, Legendary
Achievement Icon: Skull marked with a bruise under one eye.
Effect: Your shield does not charge normally. To charge your shields you must hit an enemy with a melee attack (anything but the Energy Sword).
Point Multiplier: 1.5x
Extra: At the screen where you can turn the skulls on, this skull has a black 'bag' under the left eye hence 'Black Eye'.
Tough Luck
Level: Tsavo Highway
Directions: At the point in the level when the huge covenant cruiser flies overhead (after the first shield blocking the road), on your left is some large piping following the road you are walking on. Underneath this piping are some support beams that extend out over a cliff. Jump onto the first of these beams, and travel to the end of it. Look to your left, and the Tough Luck Skull will be sitting on a rock extending from a cliff edge.
Difficulty: Normal, Heroic, Legendary
Achievement Icon: A skull marked with three clovers.
Effect: Enemies always make every chance to dodge and avoid your grenades.
Point Multiplier: 1.5x
Catch
Level: The Storm
Directions: In the first outdoor area with the two AA Wraiths, the skull is on top of the silo over by the ramp that leads to the next area of the level. Destroying the AA Wraiths will cause the skull to disappear. You can use a vehicle to get a boost to the top of the silo or jump on another player's head in Co-op.
Difficulty: Normal, Heroic, Legendary
Achievement Icon: Skull marked with a stylized drawing of a plasma grenade.
Effect: AI will toss more grenades.
Point Multiplier: 1.5x
Catch Skull
Catch Skull Effect: Your Enemies throw LOTS of grenades.
Catch Skull Location:
The “Catch Skull” can be found on the fourth level, in the first area where you need to destroy the Wraith Tanks. When you enter this area, do not eliminate the Wraith Tanks (The skull appears when the tanks appear, and disappears when the tanks are destroyed). The Skull is located on top of the circular building next to the Anti-Air Tank. You can access the roof using a grenade jump, or jumping on the back of a hog.
Fog Skull
Fog Skull Effect: “You’ll miss those eyes in the back of your head.” You lose your motion sensor.
Fog Skull Location: The Fog Skull is found on the level “Floodgate“, at the very beginning of the level. As you are walking down from the anti-air gun you destroyed in the previous mission, you encounter a ramp (next to a missile launcher). Around this ramp, you hit a checkpoint. At this point, you should also hear a marine yelling, “There! Over There!”.
You have a small window of opportunity at this point, but it is fairly easy to get the Fog Skull. Look up, and to the right, directly at the roof of the building next to the missle launcher. There is a single flood form (not to be mistaken with the two other flood forms jumping in front of you) which is holding the skull. Kill him before he jumps, and he will drop the skull down to the ground where you can retrieve it. Too early, and the skull will get stuck on the roof though, so just time it carefully.
Famine Skull
Famine Skull Effect: Enemies drop 50% of the ammo they usually drop.
Famine Skull Location:
This skull requires a bit of grenade jumping skill/luck.
You can find the “Famine Skull” on the sixth level, near the point where the path you follow branches off into two sections (one leading to the area where you need to let the tanks across the bridge, and the other leading towards the area where you meet up with the frigate). Take the right path, as you would if you were completing the mission, and you’ll notice a structure above you / to the left of you (near the area where you encounter a few ghosts).
You need to scale the rocks to the right of the structure, and then travel across it so that you pass 3 of the large support beams extending into the cliffs. Inside of the fourth support beam, lies the Famine Skull. A well placed grenade should have you up there in no time!
Tough Luck Skull
Tough Luck Skull Effect: Your enemies never back down, always make their saving throws, and always charge you.
Tough Luck Skull Location:
The “Catch Skull” is found on the third level, at the point in the level when the huge covenant cruiser flies overhead. On your left is some large piping following the road you are walking on. Underneath this piping are some support beams that extend out over a cliff. Jump onto the first of these beams, and travel to the end of it. Look to your left, and the Tough Luck Skull will be sitting on a rock extending from a cliff edge.

Halo 3 shotgun tip

One of my best things to do on matchmaking is 1. Use the shotgun at any given moment that you have and atempt to always melee directly after you shoot to make sure that they are dead shield sometimes wil just go down and they wont go down 2. If the other person has a shotgun, then keep distance between you and the shotgunner, and shoot them a lot. Playing with friends on your team will also help you have better communication.Try and make head shots for a quick kill.

Premium HDMI-enabled 360 European gamers

It looks like European gamers who were feeling slightly left out by Microsoft’s recent decision to bundle Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance with every console sold in the US have something to look forward to themselves with a suspected Euro bundle appearing on the internet.
The bundle looks to include a Premium HDMI-enabled 360, a copy of Halo 3 and a Play & Charge kit. The leak supports previous rumours claiming a bundle was indeed headed towards Europe.
The receipt, also pictured, shows the bundle to have cost €384.90 which works out to around £265. If the package does hit the UK at that price it promises a hefty saving of £40 compared to buying each item alone.

Halo 3 ties up the loose ends

Unlike Halo 2, whose cliffhanger ending left fans both frustrated and itching for the next installment, Halo 3 ties up the loose ends. Yet I can’t help but wonder what’s next for the Halo universe.

Bungie may say it’s the end, but it’s hard to believe that the Master Chief is ready to hang up his rifle quite yet.

Halo 3 multiplayer tips

Teamwork- On team based games you will need to work as a team. This is hard to do knowing you are with a bunch of random players so what I would do is invite your friends in your party.
Newbie playlists- Bungie has a Basic Training playlist for those new to Halo. This will match you up with 3 other players for a game of Slayer on Guardian. With 4 players in the game there shouldnt be any lag and will make good practice.
The Guardians- All maps have their gameplay bounderies (Sandtrap and Snowbound for example). Some will be open for you to exceed, however the "guardians" will kill ya for it. These boarders can be easily identified by markers or flares on the ground. Just dont go awald and your good.
Sabotoge- In a single CTF or assault game get someone with a rocket launcher, grenades, and other explosives to get to the enemy's spawn point and destroy all their vehicles. This will make the defending team's job alot easier. Also if you are done with a vehicle, destroy it so no one else can use it agianst you.
Tank's Ultimate Weakness- The greatest threat to a scorpion tank or wraith is someone on foot. They can hold a spartian laser or just come up to your tank and beat you to death. Always have someone on the tank's gun turret to prevent this from happening.
Heavy Weapons- Weapons that are heavy (rocket pods, detached turrets, ect) can slow you down and limit what you can do. You heavy weapons only in one area, when you done with it drop it and get your other weapon back.
Landmarks- In teambased games use landmarks to tell other people where you are and name locations. There are more places in a map than "the gate" or "the windmill". In territories you can use territory numbers.

Halo series

Speaking about the enduring appeal of the entire Halo series, Rein states: "I don't look at Halo and go, 'That's the greatest graphics'. I don't look at Halo and go, 'Wow those are the coolest enemies ever'. I look at Halo and go 'They nailed it'. This game is so fun to play, everything works just right."
