So far Halo 3 has lived up to the hype... From Matchmaking to Campaign, the content graphics and the sheer overall excitement the game has been completely satisfying. Today is Thursday 48+ hours after the launch and from playing the game these past 2 days I can tell I will be playing this game for years. I have not finished the Campaign mode yet, because my Campaign partner has some semantics to work out with his situation before he can finish it... He asked me to hold off to finish it with him, which I might honor, but beating it twice shouldn't be an issue for me.
As for things outside of Halo? My friends been contacting me trying to contact me to come over and play, but both of my Blackberry's had reset over the night on Tuesday and I didn't turn them back on until about 3:00pm. 4 messages, and a bunch of text messages... Oops. I'm sure if I wasn't playing Halo I would have noticed.
When I announced that Halo 3 was coming out to my friends and co-workers I told them about the game and where they could track my day to day activities. Accordingly some e-mailed me back to ask how things were going. I told how excited I was and how much time the game has taken. Andrew, a co-worker of mine was interviewed by MTV when they visited on Monday of this week and said I would probably be calling out this weekend. I think not... Maybe...
Hopefully today I'm able to "Finish the Fight" and complete this epic adventure. So far, its been outstanding. Unfortunately I'm not positing details until I actually finish the game, in which I will write a full-featured review with thoughts and opinions about the game.
