Yes instead of finishing of or at least play more of the games that I have gotten recently, I have instead bought one of the more talked about games from last year, Halo 3.

If you know me well enough then you would know that I am not the biggest fan of the Halo series. I do still both have Halo: CE and 2 but I never really saw the game that everyone else was seeing when I was playing that game. When people call Halo the best game in the world, I really don't really see why and it they both have the same sorts of problems that plague lots of problems. My main complaint was both of those games was that the level design sucked the huge one and Master Chief was often stuck in repeating corridors and both of the games didn't live up to the beginning. I love the first third of Halo 1, after The Silent Cartographer, it just goes downhill and after the second level of Halo 2... no comment. So yeah Halo has always been lauded by many but I never saw the game as being the best game ever ever ever but my friend has been a fan of Halo's multiplayer and he made me think how good Halo 3 could be online. He agrees that the SP is mostly overrated and nothing special, hell he agrees that the whole game is damn overrated, I think most people would think the same. Here is a quote from the front cover on the UK version anyway. "Forget game of the year - this is the game of the decade." - The Sun which is a newspaper. That is simply the biggest load of shit I have ever read, ever. But the MP was fun and he had always gone back to it after a while so I thought, I will get it since I might as well. And you know what? I like it! What surprises me is that I am not that bad, not great but I always get a good level of kills and maybe get 2nd or 3rd place out of the players. I usually play Slayer and basically solo modes because the kill stealing that occurs in team games can be annoying but I also play Team SWAT because I love the more tactical nature and how the players don't have a shield and die in 1 or 2 bursts from the Battle Rifle. At the moment my overall EXP is like 45-50 which isn't too bad I guess, could be better. I also did get the Legendary Map Pack as I thought, it's only 400 Microsoft Points and it seems to be a good investment as those maps seem pretty good. I have played some of the single-player and the level design does actually seem better and I am not getting as frustrated as I used to.

So that is my small update and I will see you guys again later

P.S. Bungie, get rid of random checkpoints - they are the definition of shitty, half-assed game design - thanks Vod.

wait, did you just say 40-50 exp is good?  Uhh... I wouldn't even say you've played enough to say impressions.
are you being serious or are you making fun of people who bash halo?  Like, jees. 

And I cannot believe you just said Halo 1's single player sucked after the silent cartographer.  Hello!  Assault in the Control Room!  The Maw! Two Betrayals!
Edit: fucking hate how blogs and the forums are intertwined.  I made myself sound like an ass

Yeah dude Halo is freaking awesome, the campaign modes in all the games are great and the online multiplayer gives a lot of replay value. Buying Halo 3 was probably the best 80 dollars I ever paid for anything ever. 

i am giantbombs halo equivalent of god. my gamertag is a3ec. 1vs 1 me... if you dare. muahahahahaha. also swat and tactical... LOL. swat is just running around until you find someone then hoping you land a headshot before he does. team doubles and team objective are where tactical is at.

as for campaign... gameplay wise, you just gotta learn to appreciate multiple paths and options instead of "shoot at the things in front of you" ala cod4. and the soundtrack just makes it mind blowing.

oh and blackout is shit. avalanche however, IS amazing

Typical Halo fanboys assault my profile! Oh noes!

yes if by "halo fanboys" you mean people who know considerably more about halo than you do

Crunch, you're a Halo fanboy. Just accept it.

no not really

"Yeah dude Halo is freaking awesome, the campaign modes in all the games are great and the online multiplayer gives a lot of replay value. Buying Halo 3 was probably the best 80 dollars I ever paid for anything ever. "

Halo is pretty fantastic. Doesn't get much better than Halo.

Ahh the flames they burn!!!Nah i like Halo,I don't agree with you on the random checkpoints and level design stuff but that's just personal taste.It's perfectly fine to not like something in a game,you don't have to be all "HALO IS AWESOME", just because everyone else is,and if they have a problem with that,then tell them to suck it.

also fosssil i don't - i am simply too much of a halo bore to be defeated :P"

Im sure there are some pretty good people on Giant Bomb, at Halo I mean. So many people played Halo 2 online for sooo many hours, there aren't bad players at Halo anymore. I mean when I go online, these people are freaking good, it's retarded these people know evrey thing you can know by heart, it's become like people who count frames in fighting games.

Halo 3 wasn't that great.... gameplay wise they could've fixed some things, it was Halo 2 with Forge, Theater, and  a new campaign.
