The Ending is up on YouTube.
So next week, the Megaton game that is Halo 3 will be officially released to the general public. Microsoft is hyping this thing up way way more than it needs to be--I mean Halo 3 was already going to be a huge success. I must admit that their most recent commercials for the games have been really good. You wouldn't even know they were for a game if you didn't know what the '3' logo was about as they're in live-action form.
Aside from the obvious singleplayer/multiplayer experience, I'm really looking forward to tinkering with "Forge". Forge is kind of a map editor, where you're not making the maps, but you can put whatever you want *on* the maps. I can't really explain it because I'm not 100% sure what it is myself, but recently some Journalists got to play it and it was reported that they were able to replicate Baseball using Rocket Launchers and the Gravity hammers. Bases and all. It's "Multiplayer" as well, so you can have folks join you over Live and make stuff. Then, when you're done with it, you can upload it and have it available to other folks. Apparently Bungie will be featuring some of the better ones and drawing attention to them in some way.
Anyhow. Halo 3, more than just a shooter. I'm really excited for Forge. With this and Little Big Planet on PS3, I have two games that I could potentially play indefinitely.
