[QUOTE="shadowlight, post: 1853310, member: 7084"] Based on my previous posts? What's that supposed to mean? Well, I've got an XBox and Gamecube - both of which I play in High Def on my 72" HDTV. I also have a kick-a** gaming rig that plays Doom 3 on it's highest graphics settings. I think that qualifies as "getting out" in the video game world. A couple of the cut scenes took a second to get all the bump maps applied, but I'd harly call any of them horrible or choppy. I have a bigger problem with the "story" of the game. The more I think about it, the more I realize that [SPOILER]it wasn't really a "story" in the sense of having a build-up, climax, and resolution. It seemed to be just a bunch of missions strung together. There wasn't really much new revealed, not much changed since the end of the first game, and a lot of the missions didn't even make sense from a story standpoint. My main excitement for this game was for the story. I read the books (loved the first and third), and was wanting more of the same. Instead, I feel like I got a rehash of Halo 1. Yeah, there was some interesting developments within the Covenant and some surprising new gameplay, but the game ended right where I expected it to begin.[/SPOILER] Overall, I was realy disappointed with the single player campaign. I'm liking the multiplayer more and more though, which is good, because it seems like (sadly) that's where Bingie spent most of their effort... [/QUOTE]
