You may notice i've already written a review of halo 3. Despite the 9.5 I gave it, I soon realised that the gameplay was wearing thin, fast. So my opinions changed and i became one of those Jaded bunch who complains about repetition and hype and yadda yadda yadda.

Now, i'll hold up my hands here and say that my xbox was modded, so the halo i was playing is now about as useless as a
paraplegic footballer...Nevertheless, I countinued to bash Halo with all my soul.

Where did it all go wrong? well it turns out that i didn't listen to my own advice, I said how this was a fun game to play with friends, and about a week after writing it, i was bored shotless after having played nothing but lone wolves for god knows how long. I mean no offense meant to Bungie, but the gameplay here hasn't got a leg to stand on (that's 2 cripple references folks) I mean the game revolves around running for the best weapon, betting a few kills, dying, lather, rinse, repeat.

The above is repetitve, samey, and revolves around doing the same thing again and again (see what i did there) the monotony of it comes from the fact that you are playing with complete strangers.

Now, why might i be going on about a game i don't even like? well, i bought it again! What the fOMG?! You see, my friend came over and we sat playing custom games all night long. And then it all clicked! Halo has added tools that redefine the genre, and I have just spent the last couple of hours fine tuning a D-day themed map (High ground, unoriginal but hey...) and a sumo ring (Epitah I think) now if only XBL wasn't being a female dog I'd be all set.

So it turns out i was right in the end, so i can keep my review as it is and write my first blog in the process...enjoy!
