I'm not gonna lie, I have the best job in the known universe. Not only do I get to always hear from adoring fans on how worthless I am, but I also get to go to special preview events that make every single living moment of my life worth doing. Such is the case tonight as I'm headed to San Francisco (Gate 68A at LAX ftw!) to get some substantial time with the most-anticipated Xbox 360 game there will ever be, Halo 3.
The plan is to start at around 5 p.m. and play until 1 a.m. Yeah, 1 a.m., I'm a lucky boy indeed. Hopefully, I'll still be in one piece by the end of the night or tomorrow morning to let you know how it all went down and if Halo 3 lives up to lofty expectations.

Oh yeah right, almost forgot the abuse.
Worthless jive turkey journalist internets guy. You don't know what you talking 'bout, with the hoyven and glayven and the monkeys taking the glasses off your head!
There.
I'll just stick to the new Crackdown dlc. Harpoons FTW!!
I wouldn't say hate so much as "not living up to the hype" I never had a chance to play it online due to lack of internets in my place when the game came out. According to a lot of people the online portion of H2 is pretty fun.
Now that I have XBL and hooked up to the internets I may have to play a game or 2 and practice for the H3 MP beta.
Have fun, and looking forward to lots of pictures and spoilers, ya lucky bastich.
*goes back to waiting for Bioshock, Unreal and GTA*
I'm almost certain it will be MP, they won't leak any of the SP till the game comes out. Kinda like with Halo 2.
I was of the impression that Halo 2 had the best onlien gaming system.
Party mode, Moving from game to game, Certainly a lot less hassle than mashing games on a list in trial and error.
Certainly took some of the sting out of XBL for me.
Halo 2 is a great game, but compared to Halo the multiplayer was horrible. The story was more fun, but they watered down the MP for my tastes. Instead of it being a game about who could aim the best, it became a game of who could get to the power weapons the fastest. And don't even get me started on the guided missle aka sword. The game just seemed to be based around cheap kills instead of strategy. And I will never understand why they made the weapons not respawn unless someone put them down. I was so happy when the weapons respawned automatically in Gears. But, as a whole, it's still a great game. I imagine Halo 3 will be awesome, I think Bungie caught a whiff of what Halo2Sucks.com was cooking and listened to their hardcore fans for this game
OMG SPOILAR WARNING !!!
Granted, I liked the storylines of Half-Life 2 and The Chronicles of Riddick (don't knock it unless you played it) more, but that's only because of their insistence on character immersion. Halo 2 had a pretty interesting premise, and I for one am always down for stories about maniac religions unwittingly destroying themselves, as well as the idea of playing as a character who wants revenge on a character that you also control. Even the Gravemind seems astoundingly cool if you can avoid the Little Shop of Horrors references. A sentient collective parasite that has lost its patience for the petty squabbling of its cowering prey? Hey, it's not Shakespeare, but I'll bite.
What did you guys want out of a sci-fi epic? Shadow of the Colossus with guns? An interactive Les Miserables?
Christ...
when i tried playing halo 2 online, all i wanted was a game of CTF. one hour later, i still did not get lucky enough to be put in a game of CTF. it was fucking terrible. imo nothing is better than the setup for Resistance. ranked and custom games, quick matches, lists of all the rooms, and joining rooms with a group of friends as a team. they should just copy Resistance.
