oh man ... me and tony were all cybering and sh!t. hooot.
Considering I've spent many ... many flippin hours on Halo 1 and 2 ... H3 is unreal. The campaign mode is freaking nuts.
+ the levels are blown out. They're huge. You brawl and eventually the levels open up to gigantic battleground spaces. It's the closest thing you can get to a CPU slayer mode.
+ There are many sniping opportunities because the enemy count is so dense and far spread into the distance.
+ @ 720P, the textures, lighting, and effects are :bowdown: Just from the sheer visuals ... H3 makes H2 look like a PSOne game.
+ no more training wheels like H1 and H2 ... you're instantly catapulted into battle and given a SLEW of weapons.
+ Smack a brute and the armor comes off ... smack again, helmet goes flying ... smack again, he's splattered
The controls are significantly tweaked. The shoulder buttons now reload which ever hand has the weapon. You can finally dual yield, shoot with the right, reload with the left.
I haven't even tried live yet and I'm convinced I'm going to be here for a while.

This game is impressive.
Does it live up to the hype?
If you followed the Halo series from start to finish, yes. You can see the natural progression of the titles from 1 to 2. Going from 2 to 3 is like hitting warp speed. In the past, you were stuck at 480p and the limitations of an older console ... now ... 1080p, HD visuals, dolby digital surround ... larger capacity discs, better dvd drives, etc.
It's like ... i dunno ... stepping out of a 1992 Accord and getting behind the wheel of an 08. Everything is just ... so damn fresh and pretty, but familiar.
If you haven't followed the Halo series ... no idea what you'll think of this. Your natural instinct is to compare it to what you know and are accustomed to. By all means, this game is not for the fans only ... and should be a must have app for the 360.
Easily, game of the year.
