Gawd. I remember the whole summer leading up to it. I was an anxious fan awaiting the day christ will return... I mean Master Cheif. I would sit at this computer looking up anything Halo 3. I let my mind drift off into these fanboy fantasies
where I would be Master Chief filling the covenant full of lead and putting my boot through a grunts asshole. (Do they even have one?) I also remember the things I wanted from Halo 3. Mind you, a lot of them made it into the game but these are
the ones that didn't make it in there.

1.) I really, really, really wanted to fly that damn Pelican. I mean why the hell not!? you know? I've wanted to fly it since the release of Halo : Combat Evolved. Then I bought Halo 2 in hopes that I would maybe get to fly it and nope you sure as
hell can't. Then I thought "It's the last installment of this game, they have to. They must know that everyone wants to fly it. Don't they? DON'T THEY!?!" and sure enough you can't. Damn bastards.....

2.) A multiplayer level that consists of two islands with their respective bases at each one. Capture the flag or bomb would be its main gametype played there. On this level you could fly that damn pelican over there if it existed as a driveable
vehicle. There could also be the use of some type of boat on this level as well. Think of it, loading up on the pelican and flying over to the island and unloading hell on them or having a squadron of 4 boats taking the island by storm dropping
enemy after enemy to their sandy demise.

3.) Traps. I wanted to rig an explosive to my car and get it "stolen" to only watch the car thieves drive away and unsuspectingly blow up. That'd be the day. I also wanted to be able to rig my warthog with an explosive and purposely drive into an
enemy base and blow myself up killing everybody. Then get my 72 virgins and be on my merry way.

4.) Super Epic battles. This is what I probably wanted most from Halo 3. I wanted to walk over a cliff and see thousands upon thousands of covenant forces. They charge, then we charge. I wanted bombs going off miles away and feel the effects
of it at my feet. I wanted the anti-aircraft guns going off in the first gameplay video of Halo 2 around me. Maybe a plane crashing into the covenant blowing up killing both sides forces. I wanted only one thought going through my head during the
whole battle... EPIC!

5.) A GODDAMN JETPACK!!! I mean really who doesn't want to be flying around with a spartan laser zapping unsuspecting enemies like ants.

Those are just some of my fantasies from the summer prior to its release. Sorry for such a late post. I guess it would have been a little bit more tangible Sept. 26. Oh well.

P.S. I wanted :P

That is all.
