More Halo 3

This weekend I got to sit down and spend some quality time playing Halo 3. I'm only about half way through the story/campaign mode. So far the story seems pretty good. It definitely has that epic feel to it. I'm playing on the Heroic difficulty setting, which would equate to "hard" in the general sense. I die a lot. I don't know if I'll be able to play it on Legendary (expert) and make any progress unless I'm playing co-op with someone else.

Jeff and I about to clash. Jeff has the sword. I die.


I also got the faster broadband internet set up this week. So I then tried out quite a bit of Halo 3 online. It went like this: Enter Halo 3 online multiplayer. Die. Oh, hey look, there is somebody. Die. etc. It took me a while to get the hang of multiplayer again after not playing Halo 2 for a couple years. There is definitely a little bit of lag even with my now faster internet connection. It just is taking me a while to account for it. People are generally a split second ahead of where I see them on the screen, which can make it confusing/frustrating at times. Oh well, that is why LANs are cool...

Just a funny pic I took. You can hijack people out of vehicles. I managed to jump on the back of this guy's vehicle. This is just before I swiped him off of it.


If you want to check out my "Halo 3 service record," you can check out my stats here. Bungie really does a nice job of compiling multiplayer stats. You can also upload screenshots of the games you play or see a full breakdown of each multiplayer game. Cool stuff.
