Halo 3

Halo3...

So, yeah, i'll be getting it @ midnight tonight... haven't even played through the first 2...
got Collectors ed. for 19.95 + 3 games traded at Chatswood EB. pretty happy with that seeing as the games were worth a total of $50, if that (TH:A/W, GRAW, DOA:4)

what can I say, i'm a sucker for marketing...

Re: Halo 3

I have decided to 'do it right'

so am playing through solo in legendary mode first up...

this means i will be able to post my thoughts on the game in approximately 2010.
and online play shortly thereafter.

I am dying LOTS on the first level.

only played for 30 minutes last night, then decided to look at the other game modes. this broke my save game, when i accidently started an online co-op game, so i had to start again.

i went to bed instead.

too different to really compare... COD4 is aiming for realism, and doing a pretty good job of it.
H3 is set in space somewhere. The picture is very pretty, the character movements are very fluid. I am impressed.

I think its the colours of the enemy that are throwing me... 'bad guys' being colour coded by the weapon they are toting makes it a bit cartoony... This isn't the 80's, its possible to just make them look different, rather than glow in the dark.

weapons even thus far are pretty cool. Assume they will get cooler once i finally beat the 'warm up' level :P

still getting used to button config. layout seems ok, shoulder buttons are a bit confusing.
(left shoulder = dual wield, or switch grendade type, or do something else, all context sensitive)

Re: Halo 3

Sounds good, I might have to swap a couple of crap games I brought like Mavel Universe, Gears of War (just can't get into it for some reason, I finished it, but not keen about the online experience) etc.

Look out Weekend, looks like my Do Not Disturb sign is coming out....

Yeap, It looks like the web site is down.
I hope I can get onto Live tonight for my nightly COD3 fix.
