Interesting topic title eh? Well, despite the fact that I`ve never played Halo, I`m fairly sure (from reading reviews) that my topic statement is completely incorrect. However, it would seem digitiser disagree...

Halo - 4/5

I stared at the screen in complete disbelief this morning, as I couldn`t believe that digitiser were that stupid. I knew they were bad... but this took the biscuit.

As the potential scores are 0,1,2,3,4,5 there are 6 categories, and so a 4/5 is in the range 66.6 to 83.3. For a start, this is a huge range, which just goes to show how pointless digitiser`s reviews are, but did any of you think that Halo should only get in the 70s?

I started Halo on easy to get the feel of the game. I'm going to beat it on every difficulty, or at least most of them. I'm working on normal now and will probably go for legendary in co-operative mode.

Soon I'll have Championship Manager and Crash (thanks SR !) to keep me busy too. :-)

I went to my mates on monday and he got his xbox on the 14th and he took 5 days to get to the last level. i had never played on halo before exept quick goes standing up in shops and i was amazed at the gameplay and graphics after a wile i got ued to the controls and it was good fun we helped him finishe the last level but it was hard coz u need to drive the buggy wich is really hard to drive round an asult corse that is 3k long but in the end we mastered it and we finished it with 1 min to spare.
i would vote halo 10/10 it is an amazing game!

Only 10. If you have a look, you've got spaces for them all at the start of the game. There are 10 spaces, so 10 levels.

Levels have usually taken my about 1 hour to complete, but the 5th took maybe 2 hours give or take 5 or 10 minutes.

I played through the first two levels on Monday night, but haven't played it since, hopfully I'll get through another couple of levels tonight.

The levels are really big though! It took me a while to do the first two, how many are there? This game could last ages if there's 15-20 levels!

Mindless shooting of alians with big guns, much more fun, in my view, than snealing around trying not to be seen.

Bah! Who wants realism, eh?

That didn`t even look accidental. If you look at the posting times, it shows there was plenty of time in between to notice that the post was already there. 4 times is ridiculous.

Also, MGS2 AI - dumb. I take it you must be doing a docterate or something.

I totally agree w/ u. I'm on the same lv as u 2 *<):O)
It seems that the harder u get the better it is. Still, on the easy settings the AI isn't dumb (Like MGS2). The covenant don't get more accurate, just more agressive. As 4 replay I've redone the lv 'Halo' 7 times on Normal (Co-op and singal) and I've done it once on heroic. It still isn't boring! The enemys are in different places each time, they don't use the same tactics and they will easly kill u if you think the enemy are dumb. And u can't just run past them like on mgs2, u need to think a little more.
