I recently purchased an xbox 360. Now, I have 1 game and won't have enough money for another until 2 or 3 days after ODST comes out. This game will definitly be perfect for me, because it will keep me occupied for a long time, AND I won't have to buy all halo and all the map packs and stuff. So, for any new players this is a perfect game because it opens up the halo universe without having to download the map packs.

that is a good reason for new players, but i find with each passing day that halo 3 online becomes increasingly frustrating with the goddamned host advantage

I couldn't agree more. To me it looks like an over priced Halo cash in.

I think it's great even for those that already have Halo 3.

Brand new campaign, with a more open structure. The storytelling is less linear. Has online co-op as well as Firefight.

What's not to like there?

Bonus: has the full Halo 3 mulitplayer in it, including all the downloadable map packs released so far.

Honestly, I'm stoked.

yeh, who needs to play a game when you can judge it from the gameplay footage. I mean reviewers should definately do that from now on, that way they can get their reviews out way before the actual game is released

Exactly, I'm still getting this game despite what the haters say. I traded in Halo 3 because I got frustrated with the multiplayer. I'm getting the game for campaign and firefight mostly, so this is perfect for me, even if I still owned Halo 3. And it'll be nice to be able to load up the MP every once in a while.

I hope that was sarcasm.
You can't judge a game from gameplay footage. The Review can only go so far. Just because you look at something and think it's not that good.. Doesn't mean it isn't. You have to actually try it to know.
Section 8 Gameplay trailer looks pretty good.. but if you actually play the demo you'll realise how still the controls are and how quickly you die. How awkward it is to actually play the game.

Judging a game off a gameplay trailer is judging it before it's even been given a fair chance.
