Halo3: First Play Complete

posted by Jaitu at 11:31

So that was Halo3.
Despite the almost non-existent depth of my emotional investment in this
game even I found the ending to be somewhat anticlimactic. It wasn't
just because I still had to go and replay a couple of areas again to
officially "complete" the game either. I went back, ran through the
allegedly missing missions and got the customary be-dunk for
achievements earned. As I've previously documented the lack of
connection I experienced with the story did not in anyway lessen the
enjoyment I got from playing through and I look forward to running the
Legendary co-op campaign path.
Unlike COD4, in which all achievements are from the solo campaign, Halo3
has a number of achievements that can only be gained through online
ranked match play. I don't know how many of these I'll bother going for.
The game has been around for a year now and it likely that most people
playing online will have been doing so for some time and as a result I
will get my arse handed to me. I think I'll experiment a little with the
online but not go all out for it.
