In a brief 6 hours, I finished the story mode of Halo 3 (360). I played the game cooperatively, and it was great fun shooting grunts and being run over by a warthog. The large-scale battles with various vehicles were a real treat to play. The same can't be said of the Flood whose battles were often annoying and frustrating.

One odd thing about co-op on the same scren is that the game doesn't use all the screen space. It was a bit jarring to have black bars on the side, but I guess there's a reasonable technical reason for it to be that way.

I had a fun time finishing the fight. Hopefully it won't take me as long to get to ODST and Reach. Also, I hope Halo 4 has little or no Flood.
