Possible reason for me to try it out. Didn't know about half of these features.

Still don't like multiplayer on Halo though. =\

[Mangojoyride]

oooh yeah, i forgot about the campaign meta game. i'll add that to the feature list.

I will be online tonight, once I pick up my game.

Anyone wanna co-op Campaign; or is everyone going multiplayer immediately?

[Mangojoyride]

my area store only get 30 units of a game per shipment for an area of roughly 3000. i am going to have to bum rush the store when it opens tomorrow.

sneaking out of work to get this game is worth the risk.

Remember, you asked for it.

Believe.

Ahh yes “believe”… the new $10 million dollar marketing slogan for Halo 2.5 stolen shamelessly from a video game message board. They want us to believe Halo 2.5 has a good single player story, they want us to believe that the multiplayer doesn’t pale in comparison to even the most generic of PC shooters, they want us to believe the graphics look like Halo 2 in HD because of ‘the scope’ and they want us to believe the much hyped ‘Forge’ is a sufficient replacement for a map editor.

Here is what you should believe:

What Halo 2 started with mediocrity, Halo 2.5 finishes. The story is a mess, full of plot holes and feels extremely cheesy. Even the game’s laggy 4 player co-op doesn’t help keep the single player campaign from being mediocre at best. All I can say is thank god the single player portion is very short as I’m not sure how much more sloppy writing I could endure.

Halo 2.5’s multiplayer is a letdown as well. It’s Halo 2 with a pseudo map editor. No dedicated servers, still pay to play online and only 16 players per match. Bungie should look at Resistance and Warhawk, both of which have dedicated servers, 40 players online, free to play online and are PS3 exclusive, to see how a multiplayer experience should be.

In conclusion, what was supposed to be the game of the year is looking to be yet another dud on the 360 in the same vein as Perfect Dark Zero, perhaps a bit worse. I would wait for a price drop or even avoid this title altogether. If you are looking to satisfy your FPS lust look no further than Haze and Unreal Tournament 3. With Haze’s superior 4 player co-op and UT3’s free online multiplayer and thousands of maps (thanks to Blu-ray and a real map editor) you can’t go wrong on PS3 for your online shooter fix.

Except it'll still get rated "Game of the Year 13/10" everywhere.

3 is my first Halo (point and laugh all you want fags) and after getting killed about 6 times in the first stage I've decided that I suck ass at this shit. Either that or normal mode is fucking hard.

But by level two I started really enjoying myself. I still don't see what makes Halo such an amazing thing, but at the same time it's decently fun.

I'm heading out to pick it up in just a few minutes, so I'll post some impressions once I'm back

Wow VTG you are a fag.

Now I'm not the biggest Halo fan in the world (honestly I could give two shits but hey), and even if you DID write that (lol you didn't), there's no way you could've played through the whole game to know all that information sooo.

Free thinking. It's a pretty cool thing.

this pretty much sums up what I think about this matter so that's all I'll say

I'm not excited about Halo 3 or anything, but I'm not about to go into GREAT DETAIL to trash something without even having played it completely. But, the people at SDF (assuming that site isn't one big satire) probably don't care too much about rational arguments so eh.

[kaoss]

I'm not that far in, but I'm really enjoying Halo 3 so far. Been playing co-op with my brother since my Live is fucking up. Levels look great, only a tiny (very, very tiny) lag when loading new areas sometimes. As usual, the world is nearly seamless other than the screen blacking out for a second between stages. However I have to be honest, so far I would take Bioshock over Halo 3 as far as shooters in the past few months (READ: Story mode). We'll see if that changes as I get further into the game.


Anyway, fuck SDF.
