I have had HALO 3 for a few days now, but have really only had about an hour or two to play thus far. It seems like I have played this game a few times in the past, the graphics are a bit nicer, and some of the weapons are a bit different, but I have definitely played. The good thing is that this is exactly what I was hoping for. It took me no time at all to pick up the controller and start killing stuff. Nothing worse than trying to learn a new set of controls and getting killed in game for it.
I have noticed that the AI for the Marines driving Warthogs seems to be kinda crappy in this version. I actually got into the gunner position for a while and the AI couldn’t actually manage to drive forward, just kept going in circles. That is a bit frustrating since I want to be able to shoot stuff, not just run it over. I still have not gotten to drive a Scorpion, that needs to happen soon.
I saw that Target is carrying the new HALO CMG from Wizkids. I am tempted to buy it, and bring it to work to play. I have not seen the Warthog, but the picture looks kinda cool. I just seriously hate CMG’s, especially Wizkids CMG’s. Still it might be kind of fun, seeing as how NO ONE else from work actually owns a 360 to play HALO against me.
