Well, i finished the campaign a few nights ago, and completed my search for skulls yesterday so I can say that I've just about completed the Halo 3 single/co-op experience. Just 1 or 2 terminals left to go and I won't ever have to play the campaign again!!! Well, at least I wont have to play it for achievements or bonuses. Just for fun.

Having beat Halo, I thought I'd give you guys my impressions, before my review is released, which is looking like it'll be here tomorrow. I've recorded everything and I'm just working on getting some footage. Then tomorrow, I'll chop it all up and it should be up on Talkxbox.com within a few days.

Anyway, Halo 3 is truly an exemplary game. The campaign is fun, though a little dissapointing for die-hard Halo fans, the co-op is off the chain, and the custom and matchmade games should be the multiplayer model for every game which features a multiplayer experience. Halo 3 may not appeal to everyone, but man, is it a great shooter.
The multiplayer fun hasn't changed much, but what was changed, was changed for the better. Now, instead of just team training, Halo 3 features not only ranked games where you can gain levels and exp points, but a whole set of options, deemed "social", where you can play, worry free of levels dropping and still gain exp. It's amazing. Very intuitive. Go BUNGIE!!!

The theatre mode, which is the mode that brings you these awesome pictures, lets you take screenshots and record clips of your awesomeness. It's pretty fun to fool around with. You'll be able to record some awesome stuff and show off to your friends. Forge mode, while not my cup of tea is also really fun to fool around with. You can change the location of items and spawn points. The works! Certain people could just sit for hours and fool around with the unlimited possibilities at your fingertips. Some cool map variations might come out of this mode, and the right people's minds.
...go boom.
So I hope you've enjoyed my impressions of Halo 3. I think the game is great and it hasn't left my Xbox since I put it in. If you have a 360 and don't have this masterpiece of American entertainment, you're insane. This is truly a system seller, and needs to be owned by every FPS afficianado. My hats off to you Bungie. Thanks for runing my social life and sleep schedule.
