About
i am wobblefunk. bit of wobble, bit of funk.

So far, I've heard many a people compalain about this game. it may just be me, but i think this game does have its flaws, but overall is an awesome experience. the sheer bonus that i got the legendary and mythic maps with it saved me a bunch too.

I didnt rush into this game like i would any other. i heard it was short, was dodgy in areas and not really worth the £35 price tag. bearing all this in mind i played and completed the game in about 3 solid sessions. to me this made me crave the game when i wasnt playing it, because i wanted to know more, and made the overall game time not seem so short.

throughout the whole game when sneaking round as the rookie I became embedded within creeping around, bringing up the tacmap and planning my route within the city for the next clue. i was always short on ammo as i just loved the pistol and sub machine gun soo much i couldnt bare to trade them in if i could help it. I loved the way the rookie never quite knew the memories, and just started to gain an idea by the clues he picked up along the way. i took it easy, enjoyed the game for all its qualities and got back into the multiplayer which i havent played for 6 or so months.

the way the characters all have their own persona and they all are tough on each other but are still a band brothers so to speak. mixing this in with that i am also re-reading the halo books as a way to pass the time on the train means i truly have a way to get inside the rookie's head when playing through the game.

of all the games elements, my one true love from this whole experience is the simply mind blowing soundtrack that the game has. i actually purchased it digitally rather than stealing it because i owe bungie studios that.


this soundtrack has kept me going for the past few days, and has helped me chill out as i dont have many friends at university yet. it has actually inspired me creativly as the work i have done over the past few days have been above my average.

to round it off, all i can really say is bungie did another cracking job on another execellent title.

After beating it, I'd have to say that it's a good game, but not a great game. Well worth the price for Halo fans, and probably a good game even for people who are just seeking a decent FPS. I ended up liking the cast, despite the fact that the characters all seem to be based on various soldier archetypes. I felt that the game had the best soundtrack in the series, and the gameplay tweaks to make it feel more human were very welcome -- some firefights seemed incredibly tense and rewarding because of the health system, lack of uber jumping, and slower run speed.

However, the city didn't feel very open-ended after all, and for the most part seemed incredibly dull for me. I feel like there was a lot of wasted potential to hide some extras or something besides the audio logs and a stray weapon here and there. The flashback missions were fine, but the Rookie's nighttime sections were just not as good.

Overall, I feel like it's a B-level game.
yeah you make a fair point, the city was very limited, but within that space there was also 1 route, that being the shortest one. about the firefights, engageing random patrols and enimies whipst manovering the city was by far my favourate, as when looking for a clue two patrols actually bumped into me, giving me a large firefight on my almost nothing ammunition :D
