I have been playing Halo 3 on and off since 12:30 AM on Tuesday morning, so let me give you my official review.
The story picks up right after Halo 2 ended. In the campaign the enemies are smarter and tougher. They charge in formations so it is harder to take control of a sticky situation. But with new weapons such as the Mauler and the flamethrower, making those alien scum pay isn’t as hard as you’d think.
The story is fine and all, but the multiplayer is what put Halo 2 on the map. Halo 3 is no different. There’s new varients to games like territories and new game types like VIP. I haven’t been in any custom games yet, but I want to find out how a Halo 2 favorite, Zombies,n plays in the newly added built in edition known as Infection.
If you were on the fence about it back on the beta due to the graphics, don’t even worry about that. You wouldn’t even think that the Halo 3 multiplayer beta and Halo 3 were on the same system. The graphics are incredible, and as one of the main Bungie guys was talking about, the water looks absolutely amazing.
