What I've learned so far from Halo 3
Sep. 26th, 2007 09:17 amI haven't finished it yet, but here's my thoughts...
1.) Man, I wish Mikey were here to co-op on it.
2.) Holy crap! This game is beautiful!
3.) But don't stop and gawk, there's always a swirling firefight.
4.) I wish Master Chief was as resilient in the game as he is in the cut scenes -- damn!
5.) The Covenant upgraded that giant Scarab walker -- they put in a new Achilles heel that makes 'em a lot easier to take down.
6.) Weapons, grenades and...items...and the button scheme is a little odd, so I'm always switching weapons when I want to reload, and accidentally activating the items when I want to switch weapons. Annoying.
7.) Despite the thousands of man hours put into it, it's sometimes still unclear where I'm supposed to go next.
8.) The Flood....I'm gonna need a bigger shotgun....scratch that, I need that flamethrower! And a big tank of napalm!
9.) I don't know what happened but while friendly troopers are still competent in a fight, they can't drive for crap. In the first two games, if you let them drive, they were pretty good about it (or maybe the levels where they did it were so linear they couldn't screw it up), but now... And of course, you always want to sit in the gunner seat rather than drive. Man, I wish Mikey was here.
10.) Also? Covenant vehicles are gettin' a wee bit goofy. Fun rides, but just goofy.
11.) Best thing so far? The new Brute GravHammer weapon -- one part poleaxe, one part explosive sledgehammer. I feel like a Barbarian Babe Ruth when I swat some mofo off the map with this thing.
12.) Worst thing so far: Wait? What time is it? I have to be at work when!?
Yay
Tom
p.s. Also? Sarge continues to be the MAN!
