For the little MP I've played I've been getting my @$$ kicked. lol I went and played some MW2 and cleaned house for a while to boost my moral.

nice. Yeah, when I went back to Halo 3 after playing MW2 for a looong time I sucked it up for the first 5 games or so. Definitely took a lot of getting used to again (especially since I always play hardcore on MW2).

I'm unstoppable in the campaign on Legendary. Someone party up with me. I'm getting online in a few minutes.

If only I wasn't at work :( I hear the AI gets a lot smarter the more players you have on co-op

I'm finishing up halo 2 (beat Halo 1 two days ago) before I buy REACH. I had no intent to buy ODST, but bought my xbox360 around the launch of Halo 3 and waitied for assassin's creed. The storyline for the HALO saga is definitely one of the better ones for a video game.

For FPS games, either you like them or don't.

If you like FPS, you're either going to like the future based alien shooters, or the WW2 shooters, or the modern special ops shooters. They're all good, but a matter of personal preferrence. They all are the same game essentially except for GoW, but that's a whole nother story.

Touching on the realism arguement. Halo is set in the future and who knows. Maybe in 100 years we'll have lasers and guns like the needler. It's a possibility. Modern Warfare is supposed to take place now, and with the no heat signature for a modern game, you'd have to do something like roll around in the mud a la Ahhhhhnold. This whole point is moot because we're playing a game for entertainment, not for realism. Ghost Recon is probably the most realistic shooter on the market though.


That being said, I prefer the Halo series over CoD, simply because there was only two missions I liked in the original CoD:MW. The Ghillie Suit mission and the one when you're in the C130 (or whichever the plane is with the 3 different guns, providing air support for the ground troops). Those are what set it apart from other war games. Halo has vehicles, MW had a few hints of greatness. When MW comes out with a Ghillie suit game CoD:Modern Sniper, I'll be all over it.

I prefer Halo to the other FPS games out there on Xbox360, but I'm not saying that CoD is a terrible game. We have a word for people who speak out saying something sucks without giving an explanation...It starts with a fan and ends with a boy...

I kid you guys not, an Elite was camping in Firefight last night. He was sitting around a corner with an energy sword and knifed anyone who walked past. Finally managed to stick him before he could get me. It was ridiculous.

ahh online is being my friend. i feel like ive been dominating each match, boy is it good to be back at halo.

idk about anyone else but the campaign felt disjoint and ridiculously slow until the last couple of missions. it was pretty disappointing considering the game was bungie's last hoorah at the halo series. i even beat in on heroic in 5 hours....

I got the game on thursday and its pretty good. I have all the Halo games, the campaign was good but I felt like something was missing. I loved the missions where you fly in vehicles. I am still getting used to the online games, it feels a little different from Halo 3.

that is awesome

Got the game Tuesday, finished it on legendary yesterday morning, EPIC! I loved every minute of the campaign, minus the 400+ deaths. MP is where it's at, but the Cr isn't coming all that fast. I just got to Warrant Officer 1, completing as many challenges as possible.

I don't play it, but mini me does, and he got Reach yesterday. FifthExpert is his username, and he's pretty damn good at all FPS. Add him if you get the chance, him and his friends are pretty damn good. Just note your from c5f, so he'll know it's ok.


I'll stick to my PS3, awaiting GT5 and playing MW2, lol. And I camp quite a bit. Especially around corners, lol!

Beat Campaign in 10 hours. It was so-so... Felt like the first few releases rolled into one.. I refuse to play Galo MP... Not one for bouncing red and blue 12 year olds... Trading it in soon.

[brandotron]

I beat the campaign last night. Best. Halo. Ever.

I've built I think 5 map variants in Forge so far. All on the Forge World level. Soooo much to play with there, every where I look I just start thinking 'oooo this area just needs some bunkers here, a tower over there, rocket launcher there and mayhem will ensue' Going to be putting the finishing touches on a few levels tonight, will get them uploaded to the file share soon.
