I intend on writing a more complete review later but I wanted to add some comments while my first experience with Halo 3 is fresh in my mind. To provide a little personal context, I loved the first Halo. I played the campaign all the way through three times, mainly on split-screen co-op, and different individual parts of it many more than three. I’ve never played a campaign mode in any game all the way through more than once, much less three times. Beyond that, since there was no online play my friend Rodney used to drag his Xbox over a lot and we’d play 1v1 on system link, on two TVs, taking somewhat extreme measures to ensure we didn’t get any audio clues from each other’s games (we had the tvs in the same room): I wore headphones with the volume turned way up and we had an industrial fan going to create enough white noise that we could guarantee neither one of us was getting an unfair advantage by hearing what his opponent was up to.
There is absolutely no point to this post other than to celebrate my excitement over the imminent release of Halo 3 tonight at midnight. We don’t take the day off for silly American holidays like Columbus Day, but you bet your ass we’re taking the day off for Halo 3.
Most exciting feature: 4 player co-op play.
Biggest Fear: Getting the red ring of death just as I fire up Master Chiefy goodness tomorrow morning.
