Halo 3

When the COD4 War Room once again became too much I decided to finally give Master Chief a run. Before now I had played a couple of hours of local multi player Halo3 with Womble692 and BigGayAl. The first thing to note is that although this is far from the best looking game on the 360 it does look a great deal better than the previous episode.
Taking my lead from Barney Stinson I went straight for the most difficult setting of Legen - wait for it - Dary. So after about five hours of incrementally picking my way past a ridiculous number of sniping Jackals I arrived at an early "War Room" scenario. Time and again I tried and failed to clear the motor pool of Brutes. The problem mostly being that I run short of ammunition and have to venture out of cover and into the battlefield to replenish. This invariably culminates in my explosive demise.
Talking this through with TechMaster he convinced me to run through the solo campaign on a Normal difficulty. The plan being for us to later tackle Legen - wait for it, and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant because the second half of this word is - Dary as a multi player co-op game. We employed a similar plan for Gears Of War. We should really finish that before getting too caught up in this.
So, after accepting my limitations and reducing the difficulty, I decided to restart the entire campaign from page one. Once I got out of the over-cautious habits that Legendary dictates I found myself back at the motor pool well within only an hour or so. A few short minutes later I found myself beyond the motor pool and running towards the barracks. There's no denying that the game is much-much-much easier now but no less enjoyable.
