Honestly, I was thoroughly saddened at the entire campaign mode.
From the reviews I've read I'd recommend incresing the difficulty level. Most have stated that the Normal mode was intended for the massive casual audince who may just play Halo 3 and nothing else this year, so they're expecting low levels of gaming competency for those using Normal.

From what I've heard from current reviews and experienced in past Halo releases, the enemy AI increases greatly as you ratchet up the difficulty levels.

Is it bad that I'm looking forward to playing Halo 3 more than I am lookng forward to my wedding?

You should get married in Halo 3. Brilliant! 16-player in Valhalla overlooking the water. Beautiful spot. And for the reception you'd split off into teams of 8 and kick ass in matchmaking.

Maybe you can have your wife-to-be to dress up as Cortona (spelling) and you as MC for the wedding. Get married in a spac themed chapel

I didn't mean game-wise, really. I just mean the story-line was weak. It was good, but *possible spoiler, I suppose* everything seemed to happen way too fast, with what seemed like should've been great gaps in time for those things to take place.

I know the AI gets better as you ramp the difficulty, I just wanted to motor through it as soon as I could.

Ok, I see what you're saying. I can see how one can feel that way when they prefer a more drawn out epic with lots of character development. I've always liked Halo's breakneck speed, and I think they chose a masked character because of the lack of character development. By not giving Master Chief a face, you can put your face underneath.

Thats is a good criticism, though, and well explained as opposed to "the story sucks". Thanks for the clarification.

Well mostly been messing around with the multi-.. only played like 2 chapters in the campaign and I've got to say if those friggin mini mind scenes continue gonna toss a controller at someone..

Anyhow just wanted to share a game variant created (I hope)

OOnly weapons you have are swords and hammers. The only way to score points is to beat someone down face to face. Assassinations and grenade kills don't count.

i believe the speed is a bit faster, can't remember exactly.

But it's cool.

also if you come across one called Zero-G Rockets, one of my favorites downlaoded.

Me and my friend found that the other day.
We spent half an hour shooting them and wondering why they're there and what the significance is, considering when you shoot them, they bleed.

You can shoot humans in Halo 3? Unacceptable!! I demand this to be a M-rated title.

Unless you consider the cavemen to be savage animals.
