I've been a bigger nerd than usual this week. With Halo 3 being launched after what seemed like an eon or two I can finally Finish the Fight. Finally I get to check out all the new features this new gem has to offer all on my new Samsung TV. Doesn't get much better than this folks! Fraggin' and getting fragged all in HD glory with surround sound. But I have to squeeze in all that I can with the next few days as next week on… it's packing time! We move to Jannali on the 10th October, 2007. Home warming party to be announced soon. But back to Halo 3. My highlights so far have been a many. To cap the major ones for me:
- Replays – Being able to capture the last 25 matches, in their entirety, to review and share online is HUGE! So many dumb moments to share. No more "you had to be there"
- New ranking system rocks. The military rankings make much more sense than the old basic numbering system.
- Man cannons. It's been said many times but man cannons are fun. Fun to say. Fun to use and abuse. Throw a stick grenade on an incoming soldier and watch 'em freak!
- A thowsand options! It just seems that there is loads more to do in H3. Being able to review player stats before a match and after is cool. Going online and checking out who has what medals is neat too.
- The awesome HD graphics. There are some moments where it looks Xbox 1'ish. But the moments where they have put huge efforts into the detail such as water and vegetation. More than make up for this short coming.
I personally know of a couple of guys buying Xbox 360's just for this one. Also some dudes just signed up to Xbox Live after a long absence. Amazing what one game can do if done just right eh?
