Got A Funny Feelin', You Don't Love Me Anymore

So Halo 3... that which moved me to tears in anticipation.

It is beat.

After a measly 5 hours of cooperative play. Wow. I was hoping for more. Given, we were rushing through at a break-neck pace. But even then... we really did it quickly. Normal: not hard.

My rundown on Halo 3:

The campaign is fast paced... like, blisteringly so. Within... maybe... 10 minutes of turning the game on, you start shooting... and the bullet casings never really stop falling from there. The plot is just as fast paced, and largely relegated to the cut scenes... it is quite possible to actually lose track of things really quickly. The interruptions from Gravemind and Cortana are interesting, but disruptive and annoying at times. The Plot is brought to a very final close, and there is no thirst for more like in Halo 2. I personally, was mildly miffed at the ending.

The new additions are incredible. The updated armory really makes the game-play a lot less predictable. The new Assault Rifle is right between the BR and the SMG in power, with enough of a clip to kill someone in one clip if you're a great shot. Most of the time, it gets reduced to grenades and elbows after the clip. The new vehicles really round things out, and I'm happy to see a UNSC flyer. The Brute sandbox is fun and different, almost a fourth culture of equipment (Human, Covenant, Forerunner, Brute).

Multiplayer looks to be shaping up interestingly. The game is so beautiful that it almost gets distracting, even in Multiplayer. I've only played a little, but the mechanics are still being laid down. The AR really shakes things up, on maps where it is the starting weapon. Sniping is still fun if you're doing well, miserable if you're not. I'm not that great at MP, but it looks to be fun.

All in all, I was let down some by Halo 3. That's because I had ridiculous expectations. It really is a great game, props to Bungie. I just wish it hadn't had the hype.
