    I think Halo 3's campaign was the best of the three, though it was too short and I wanted so much more. There were hardly any annoying moments where I had to do the same over and over again, and I had a decent challenge without getting stuck very often. Extremely fun on Heroic and Legendary. 4 player co-op with team scoring and skulls = massive win. I've played through campaign about 2.5 times, now.

    Also, you haven't lived until you've Rocket Raced.

    Halo three rocked. I just beat it today although Endingthey made Master Chief die? WTF?


    Also can anyone tell me if there was more to the story revealed after the credits? Because I accidentally skipped them and my brother laughed at me saying I missed the real ending

    You did. And you missed the real real ending altogether unless you finished it on Legendary.

    I got my copy back on the day I posted here, and it's been excellent so far. My twin brother and I teamed up and beat the first seven levels on Heroic (staying up until 1:00 AM was well worth it). When he gets back, we'll beat the final three levels.

    Final two. Only 9 missions, unfortunately.

    I was actually off work last week (hence the lack of JKTrix presence here) and I got Halo 3. I kept getting friends coming over who wanted to play, and they kind of suck at the game so I was forced to either play co-op with them on Normal or Easy. So playing through the game like that was ok, but I wasn't particularly impressed.

    I started playing through it on Heroic over the weekend, like I intended to from the beginning, and it really is *much* better. Instead of most action games (and possibly the older Halo games as well) where 'Harder' = 'they take less damage and hurt you more', in Halo 3 the enemies seems to get much smarter.

    And the voices! The story cutscenes are kind of meh, but the random things that your marines and the enemies say in different situations is just brilliant. I got the 'IWHBYD' skull recently, which apparently unlocks even *more* random dialogue. One thing I have heard with that, one of my guys was shooting up a Brute but I ended up killing it, and the marine said "Aw man, and I almost got an achievement!" Can't wait to see what else I encounter with that on.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I started Legendary and it is good so far. Not insanely stupid with near impossible odds like Halo 2 was. Brute Shots with Snipers...COME ON! That was Bullplop! BULLPLOP!

    Did you see the "What's the password?" scene between some marines? I haven't played the SP campaign but I watched some friends when they got to that part. It's pretty hilarious.

    I'm finding Halo 3 legendary significantly tougher than I ever found 2's.

    I got rid of my PS2 for an Xbox just so I could play the Halos. Sucks now that I have to do something along those lines again just for Halo3.

    Bloody Bungie! GIVE IT TO SONY!

    Really? I found Halo 2 to be very cheap. This game is more balanced all around I feel. I have only played the first level on Legendary but I have had no problems at all so far. Maybe that will change once the flood come into play. Those guys always screw me up the most XD

    Legendary in Halo 3 is an absolute bitch. There's not much that's really given me a hard time except large packs of brutes. About half way through the second level, when you step into the long hallway with about eight or nine brutes... it's murder. I don't even want to think about the Flood.

    I know the part you mean, but I solved that problem through throwing nine grenades at them. That ruined the armor of all but a couple, and I just about managed to finish them off. Tsavo Highway was hell, though - I couldn't do it in 1 player, I had to have a buddy along and we just prayed that we would get one warthog through.

    I also don't look forward to the Flood. Although, my reactions to the Flood showing up in each game are amusing to look back on.

    Halo 1 - "They're coming! Oh god they're coming!"
    (Before we knew how competent they were in battle, and had only seen the videos of the Marines getting destroyed and such.)

    Halo 2 - "Was... was that Flood music?"
    (This was epic. There we are, the Arbiter and his buddy, strolling along through the Heretic's mining facility, when suddenly I think I make out the tiniest little subtle bar of Flood music in the soundtrack. Michael (My erstwhile Halo companion) was like "I... don't think so? Maybe? I hope not." Turned out I was right though.)

    Halo 3 - "Oh smurf. 'Cause Earth needs this ."
    (Yeah so Halo 3's entrance was less special but, see, you have to wander around Voi a little after knowing they've shown up before you actually meet one. And that is terrifying. You can hear them screaming... in the distance...)
