Laugh like Muttley

Is it just me or is it, well, just OK?

I finished the game last night, which didn’t take long on normal difficulty, and the thing that struck me was this:

Its awfully similar to the first one isn’t it?

I suppose I am in the minority of “gamers” in that I have never played Halo 2, and if you feel like this renders me incapable of discussing anything to do with Halo, fair enough. I, of course, don’t give a fuck.

A lot of the levels feel similar in structure to Halo, and the general game itself in terms of progression and environments feels like Halo too (not 2, Har).

It may be that I am missing the point, a lot of people are happy to class the Halo experience in terms of its multiplayer, and to be fair it’s exceptionally well executed. The replay movie theatre is a machine of pure genius, one of those, “DURH, why don’t they all do that” moments.

I (again I am in the minority here) don’t really do the Halo multi thing. I did my share of twitch killing back when Doom was cutting edge and had grown weary by the time CS grew an :S. I simply cannot be arsed to die over and over again, raped by platoons of Teenage Whining Halo Ninjas ™, who only stopped playing Halo 2 on Thursday. Fuck that, it’s no fun.

I will be sticking to the COD4 beta for my multiplayer action thanks.
