Are you guys really that excited about another Halo campaign that only lasts for approximately 6 hours?
Firefight does seem like it would be fun, but I doubt I would play this very often. I already have this on GOW2, but have only played it a few times.
To me, this game is all about the standard multiplayer. Had this been 12 new maps with some new weapons in addition to the campaign and firefight, I would have pre-ordered for sure.
You should have quoted the beginning of that article...
If you don't play nice with others, there's always the
second disc in the
Halo 3: ODST package. Here you'll find every single Halo 3 map released to date and three new maps just to sweeten the deal. The gameplay, matchmaking, and general layout is unchanged from Halo 3, so don't expect to go into this game with the ODST's sweet pistol or silenced SMG. This is simply more of the Halo 3 adversarial game you've been playing for the past couple of years.
The second disk is the Halo 3 Mythic disk.
ODST is the first disk, which is a different game with different modes and types of play. And multplayer. Just no PVP I think. I believe it's all PVC.
