I was very critical about halo 3
after the gameplay trailers. I thought that this would be a weak finish
that would copy the foundation of halo 2. I was wrong. This game
completely removes itself from the other iterations of the series. Halo
3 of course begins where halo 2 left off. Fighting your way through the
remainder of covenant forces (minus the rebelling elites) you come
across some of the most memorable sequences of gameplay that has ever
existed. The musical score does change somewhat, but you will still be
familier with the score that is just great. The game brings back the
assault rifle with its increased accuracy. It also adds equipment which
you can throw down to aide you in battle. This includes things such as
shields, mines and generators. There are also the addition of spike and
inceniary grenades. A duel wielding weapon known as the spiker is also
making an introduction. The needler is now more powerful and is single
wielded. Vehicles make a return including the mongoose (atv), the
chopper (brute vehicle) and the wasp (human hover copter) Campaign is
well told and the replay value is enormous when you throw in the
possible four player online coop, but you can only have two people
split screen in campaign. Onine matchmaking is the maximum 16 players.
The ranking system consists of two ranks. An experience rank has been
added telling of your exp and it counts for all games. Match ranks make
a return and only consist of numbers and not symbols. The new forge
feature allows you to customize maps for new and inventive game types.
The theater also saves your recent games so you can save those awesome
moments and prove to everyone how good you actually are. All in all
this is One of the must have games for Xbox 360. I really thing this is
one of the rare perfect games that exist and will be remembered in the
gaming society forever.
