First of all Halo 2 set the standard for the best console multiplayer interface ever. They are expanding the features and support this time around with Halo 3. Games that are still being released on the 360 don't support party systems that are as fun and easy as Halo 2. The party system was the best way to play with your friends and go from game to game without being separated. Now in Halo 3 they have included the saved films feature which has never been done on a console before. You can detach the camera pan around or go to any player's perspective whenever you want. Pause, fast-forward, rewind. You can even do this in the single player campaign and co-op. Then you can send them to anybody on your friends list for them to watch.

So yeah I think halo 3 is going to be like Halo 1 and Halo 2, but wasn't The Return of the King sort of like The Two Towers and The Fellowship of the Ring? Oh, I know. Maybe because it was a planned trilogy. Reviewers didn't rate ROTK lower because it's more of the same just different creatures, characters and scenarios. It's the same thing with Halo.

I'll see you on the 25th of September :)
