Halo 3...revisitited

[projectego]

I'm still waiting for my Halo 3 limited edition to arrive. I ordered through eBay and it seems to be taking longer than I would have liked; at least when it does arrive I'll know I'll have saved a little cash by not forking out extra in Woolworths or something.

I got a chance to play it over the last two nights and I'm happy with the game for sure.

Slayer/deathmatch mode is just as fun as always. The story mode is also good (disclaimer; I ain't beat the game yet! ).

I'm not sure what they're called but I love the new items you can use. A short list of the ones I've seen;

1) You can place a two types of shields anywhere you need them. One is an old school shield you can shoot around, the other is a "bubble" that people can pass through but bullets can't.

2) There is a red item you can throw that will screw with everyones radar...it comes in handy.

3) There is a big blue bomb that takes a huge portion of your energy shield/life bar before blowing up.

4) There is a "gravity boost" pod you can place anywhere on the stage. Great for snipers!

5) There are flash bangs! w00t!

There are probably some more I've forgotten about...I recall some green thing that will heal you or something to that effect (maybe a mobile overshield? Can't remember...).

The gun selection is great! I love having my old school automatic rifle back for starters. There are a few new guns for taking out mechs (including a badass rail gun that takes forever to charge). Personally I love yanking up torrent guns and carrying them around the stage like some kind of mobile man-tank. You know you're in trouble when I find the "street sweeper" .

The rocket launcher kinda sucks this time around....at least I can't figure out how to make it lock on to things anymore! They made up for it with a torrent-like missile launcher that locks on in a heart-beat and shoots really fast. I've been bunny hopping over walls and taking out tanks with 3-shots with that thing since I "discovered" it!

We're having a blast playing it. I am currently UNDEFEATED in slayer mode! I bet that changes as soon as I play it online!

The green thing is regeneration

Halo is a copy of Quake!

You'll have to explain this one. I'll wait on that before I post a novel on how they aren't remotely similar (aside from begin FPSs).

To me it sounds like someone ain't played Halo.
