HALO 3

[revefsreleets]

First Report: Best of the 3. And I'm experiencing technical difficulties (TV related) and can't get it in HD. I picked it up today, popped it in for what I told myself would be 10 minutes just to take a peek, and I played for 3 hours. Graphics almost as good as Gears, gameplay is improved and completely seamless, and I hopped right back into the story. Heading back in soon.

Damn, this is much more difficult then Halo 2. It's not Ninja Gaiden hard, but it's close.

The Brute Chieftain beat my ass with the Gravity Hammer over and over and over and over again last night.

The gravity hammer is my new favorite weapon.

My report:

Graphics could be better, decent improvement over the last game.

Storyline is still the Halo storyline, not great; although it is a step up from 1&2 having it come to earth.

Game play and multiplayer are pretty much what you would expect meaning they are great.

The multiplayer maps suck. I'm sorry but this is one aspect of the game that Bungie really regressed since H2. There are no longer any small maps. They are almost all huge and really don't get much sense of anything different when I go from one to another.

Matchmaking takes forever.

The forge is a really cool idea but it's kind of hard to use.

They made Zombies a real game type.

There is no map to play tower of power on.

I went from 11:30 - 1:00 to get my copy. Waited in line that stretched the whole way down the sidewalk of the complex. Cars kept speeding by and people were yelling at us. One group drove by and smashed a 360 on the ground out of the window and filmed the lines expressions. It was grueling...

To be completely honest, the game wasn't worth the long wait in line to get that night. Great game, will meet most peoples expectations but falls a bit short of mine. Despite that though, the online is still great and I am still going to spend hours on the game every day for the next month or so.

Got it for my kids, and finaly got to try it myself. I still like Oblivian better, but since I beat halo 1 and 2. I have to do the same with 3.
If my kids will ever let me play the darn game. Now they are hiding the cd from me so I don't beat the game before they do. They have some darn good hiding places. If I find it, I am going to lock it in the gun safe, that will teach them.

I'm about halfway done now (Just getting ready to start "Floodgate"). Just a really solid game all the way around. Does it re-revolutionize gaming? No, but the original game already did that. I definitely think it's good enough to warrant somebody sitting on the fence to pick up the 360 over.

Bioshock and Oblivion are in queue for me. If Oblivion is anything like Elder Scrolls, I think I'll save it for the winter. That way I won't miss the 200 hours I'll be spending on it.
