I had to correct my review of Halo 3. It turns out there was some kind of promotion going on while I was first playing that allowed the Xbox Live silver accounts to play online. I'm a very dissapointed in this and think Microsoft really missed out on some easy xbox marketing, but my complaints aren't going to change anything. For families like mine with multiple people playing on the same Xbox 360, you can upgrade a second profile to gold and still play together online. This is better than having to buy another Xbox 360, another copy of the game, and still needing an xbox live subscription, but not as good as I had originally thought.

Also, the game is limited to only two local players for the story. I think this is kind of annoying, but most people probably wont notice.
