*SPOILER ALERT*
if you haven't completed halo, shut down your PC NOW!!!
anyway, now that's over...wow!
now that's the kind of ending that only comes once in a century. i mean, it's frantic, fun and dangerous, so nothing is wrong with it - and the end cutscene cleverly leaves the game open to tons of sequels. Xbox owners know that Halo 2 is coming soon, and hopefully to the PC thereafter.
so, what did you all think?

That level got to me too. started off well enough, but eventually equated to you running around identical levels fighting off hundreds of mutant freaks while some ponce robot tries to explain the plot. I thought it would never end.

I've just got to that part...
But who cares when you have multiplayer!!!! And sods who don't understand that NO BANSHEES in the title mean you CAN'T USE BANSHEES.

Well, personally, those who say "no banshees" are those that can't handle them if they are attacked. It's just the server's way of eliminating their weakness, which i think is wrong, seeing as it's unfair on others and also a negative effect on the way games were meant to be played.
Urg, that ending was too long.
Drive, crash. Damn I'm being attacked by annoying grunts and the dullest enemy ever, the Flood. Woo, I'm free, o look, that ship has died (oh NO!) and now we have escaped and........
WE'RE THE ONLY ONES LEFT!
Didn't see that coming.

Yeah, but it's more a test of skill then when you concentrate on ground assault. Many a game has been ruined when a side on CTF has the two banshees; and make nomistake while I enjoy shooting banshees (especially downing them with a pistol), I'd rather concentrate on warthog fights, snipers and running-round-in-circles-while-throwing-grenades battles.

Which reminds me, I ran over 4 players while ramming into the opponent's base entrance yesterday :) T'was funny watching them die their different ways.
well, i wouldn't have liked to have been on that piece of halo that was spinning really fast after the wildcat explosion, eh?
It is a great game, the only flaw being the library level. Still, I don't see them making the same mistake twice.
On Xbox 16 player Halo was fantastic. Not tried it online on the PC yet.
Personally I thought the Flood were rather spooky at first, especially when I didn't know where they had come from or anything, and having spoken to the scared out of his mind marine.

I thought the flood were gonna be creepy aswell, until i met them for the first time - then i thought "HEY, they pop! like balloons! that makes it funny! and not scary!"
Bah! the PC code is loose, even with my hyperthreaded overclocked p4 insane clock speed processor etc.. the demo jerked a bit at 1024x1028 when there were more than 5 aliens on screen... Or could it be my non-pro radeon 9600??
