Look, you fools...

Even I could complete Halo!

It may have been on the easy setting and on co-op mode but I completed it!

I have to say though that it isn't a 10/10 game, some of the levels really got boring after a while but it still is a great little game...

I'm now on level 4 playing on hard mode, can't remember what seting it's called but it's the one before ledgendary...

I rule at this game, like I ruled at all other FPS!

Persuaded my mate to get broadband and I will be around his house whipping all of you at it when it arrives!

Be afraid, be very afraid!

On another note though, the last level where you drive the Warthog, it took us a few goes to get it right after we kept killing eachother. Thing is though, we uncovered a great little game to play on this level, the Warthog race! Oh how I thrashed him after I rammed his car off of the road!

Other fun games to play:

- Both grab a Warthog and try to kill eachother by ramming eachother to death...
- Run your mate over while hes trying to kill some Flood things...
- Get two extra marines in the car and drive about killing Flood, when you get bored or are nearly dead, ramp yourself off of a clif and watch everyone plunge to death...
- Continuously annoy your mate while he's trying to snipe Flood by running into the middle of a group of them when they are having quite time and randomly shoot your gun at them!

Yes, I did try all of these while playing and yes my mate did get annoyed, the last one was particuarly fun though when I had 4 sentry guns shooting at me!

Truth and Reconcilliation is VERY difficult on Legendary, Im still trying to complete that level.

I had'nt touched Halo for about 3 weeks until yesturday. Man its sooo good, the graphics are amazing and Legendary makes you appreciate on how good the game is!

My favourite level is Assault On The Control Room. Love the outdoor battles, use of vehicles and marine interaction. ;-)

I like te sniping level, shame my mate decided to steal the rifle off of me!

I just ran about and jumped into the turrets and just randomly shot stuff...

What made it even funnier was when I ran back to find I had just vapourised about 20 marines!

The Truth and Reconsiliation is the best level.

I love the night time setting and night vision sniper mode. Loads of marines to fight along with aswell as outdoor and indoor sections. Looks great thanks to all the lighting effects and torches illumintating everywhere.

My mate doesn't believe there is such a thing as a rally...

Do you have to earn it or is he being annoying as usual?

Yeah, i understand what you mean the start of TSC is amazing, but the 2nd part is quite repetitive.

Still, 343 Guilty Spark is the best level :P

Gamesfreak, perhaps the levels do grow on you, and perhaps it does sound better in 5.1, but although the game does have fantastic set pieces, most of the rest of it is pretty repetitive and gets pretty tiresome.

Like the silent cartographer.
Starts brilliantly with those fantastic battles on the beach and that tour in the warthog, but the second half is a little more disappointing as you go into the underground.

Halo never did excel in it's indoor areas.
Still, it is a relatively minor flaw, especially when you've got that multiplayer.
