Mythbusters Take On Halo 3

Grundy The Man writes, "Nearly everyone is familiar with the Discovery Channel show, Mythbusters. Some industrious gamers have decided to take matters into their own hands, going through and testing numerous myths associated with Bungie's Halo 3. They have managed to produce 5 episodes worth of mythbusting goodness and the video evidence leaves nothing to doubt. Check out each the five episodes here..."

I'm pretty much done with Halo 3, but these videos were pretty cool.

I traded away my copy of Halo 3 a long time ago and got several other games in exchange.

It amazing how if you have the right game, you can end up getting several others for it in exchange. Kinda funny how that works.

some interesting video. i havent had the time to watch all of them but the myth about grenades not sticking to each other, with the exception of the spike, is kind of true and kind of false when it comes to the plamsa. i swear ive seen video of a frag getting blown off the floor and catch a plasma in midair. the plasma wont stick to live grenades but maybe to dormant ones. its possible the frag no the floor threw the plasma off and just followed its new path.

5 - this is one of the reasons I love halo.

it feels so complete, so much of the things in this game are actually there, coded and effect by the physics. Bullets actually effect objects like grenades and rockets, where every other game they go through one another. Pellicans and the scarabs are AI not just scripted. It adds so much.

10.1 -

You can't say that here! That's blasphemy on this site, look around you. Look in the Open Zone, look in any article regarding Gears of War 2. For the best game of the decade on this site, it has to consist of:

Ratchet and Clank
Warhawk
Metal Gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 1
Resistance 2
Killzone 2

Halo 3 is one of the best games ever, I don't see what's to hate. Around 230 - 280 000 people play everyday so it's not as bad as it most people make it seem. Personally, I played Halo 3 for 6 - 8 months before I got bored.

17 - Nice reminder of all the goodness...!

Halo 3 is unparalleled in its excellence! There is simply so much sophistication it Halo 3's gameplay and design that allows for seemingly countless instances of "wow" and an ever-growing appreciation for the creative minds at Bungee.

No matter what new game comes along, there's always a reason to place the Halo 3 disc in the tray one more time. Again, and again, and again.

Having to reduce to swearing reveals who the real moron is. Maybe you should try to find more creative words to show your displeasure. Don't use stupidity as a crutch.

A lot of that is just glitches, pretty horrible and would be annoying to play with this..

Halo 3 sucked. Never could finish the single player, replay was cool on multi player but multi is boring.

99.9% of those glitches could not be exploited in matchmaking, and were for entertainment only. "Stop shooting me for a second, so I can turn my neck just the right way to not get hurt!"

Give me a break, loser.

This is why Halo is amazing. EVERY SINGLE ITEM in the game affects everything around it. The physics model is excellent. Bullets, grenades and rockets knocking each other out of the air? Actual pilots flying the cut-scene ships? Explosion force affecting missiles?

Watch all those explosions...they look awesome in slow-motion. The particle effects and the lighting are beautiful.

Lets see the PS3 come out with a game that's so intricate and detailed...
