too much hype can destroy a game.
the story is good and because the third 1 is supposed to be the last in trilogy it has a good ending but predictable. this game is also very short can be completed in 5 hours but co-op is a nice bonus, and achievements
to keep you coming back.
the online is where its at and i think they focused on getting the story out the way first and blend the good stuff in halo 1 and 2 for online, and i like halo 3 oline for the customisation and playing with your friends and messing about
their is an experience point system too keep you coming back and different armors to unlock.
forge is a good mode to make stuff but i think they missed out on a good mode here while its still great they could of put more items in like on foundry you can see that people create great stuff so why not create a map feature, far cry had it . because other than foundry its basically place a weapon or a vechicle here. if they spent a bit more longer on campaign and worked on the forge and so on i give it a 9. oh and graphics is good if you go right up to a wall the textures are great i put 40 to 100 hours because of the online not story.
