A great installment for the Halo franchise, albeit a shorter one. The atmosphere of this game is a different take on fighting aliens and saving the world, having you play as the Rookie, and ODST exploring the abandoned city of New Mombasa in search of his teammates. The feeling of solitude and being lost in the dark is a much different experience compared to the one man army, with another army behind him feeling of the previous Halo games, and I really appreciate it for that. It might not offer a ton of new things in terms of gameplay, but it can be most appreciated for the atmosphere and soundtrack. This game also helped me choose my favorite helmet to use in multiplayer games, of course being ODST.
The original Halo can’t be beat by it ingenuity and creativity in terms of gameplay and Level design. Most levels have wide open empty spaces that give the Ring like structure a sense of eeriness and mystery. The introduction of the Covenant, Flood, and Forerunners is a brilliant one that creates a long lasting impact, and explored who and what each faction is. The first time I played this game I instantly fell in love with the gameplay and sandbox. There are so many weapons to play around with and ways to kill enemies, that there is no one correct way to play the game. You are encouraged to play the game your own way, wether it be sniping enemies from afar, or cramming a warthog into a hallway where a warthog should not fit, the possibilities are quite literally endless.
In terms of Halo reviews,
I think we’re just getting started.
Quite possibly my favorite game of all time. It’s an instant classic in terms of music, visual style, and gameplay. With a thrilling story that get the adrenaline pumping like 99 cent gas, there’s never a dull moment in Halo 3. When you’re playing this it truly feels like One Final Effort to save humanity. Between the Covenant, the Elites, the Flood, the UNSC, and the Forerunner drones, there are many factions to fight against and team up with, never leaving you with a feeling of repetition. Having player 1 be Master Chief and player 2 be the Arbiter, this game is the best example of Campaign Co-op to date. The multiplayer custom games are always a blast. One mode I like to play with my family is Rocketball, because everyone is running around with aptly named “Noob-Tubes” blasting each other away while trying to get our hands on the Oddball. And while hosting an old school Xbox 360 LAN party with my friends, we probably had the most intense game of Capture the Flag I’ve ever played. It was the most fun I’d had in a long, long time. If I could give this game 6 stars, I would.
This is a review of the campaign. The multiplayer is still a buggy mess almost 9 months in. Personally, I really enjoyed the campaign and I feel like 343i did a really good job creating an open world game that still feels like Halo. The gameplay is super fun and the story is pretty good and had me tearing up in some parts. I would say that this is definitely the best Halo game 343i has produced, strictly in terms of campaign. I will say that Halo 3 and Reach set the bar fairly high, so 4 stars, plus it was missing a lot of key features that Halo games had at launch that are just now being added, like Campaign Co-op and mission replaying. Overall, still a decent Game in general with a very good Campaign.
