From what I've heard from current reviews and experienced in past Halo releases, the enemy AI increases greatly as you ratchet up the difficulty levels.

Is it bad that I'm looking forward to playing Halo 3 more than I am lookng forward to my wedding?

I didn't mean game-wise, really. I just mean the story-line was weak. It was good, but *possible spoiler, I suppose* everything seemed to happen way too fast, with what seemed like should've been great gaps in time for those things to take place.

I know the AI gets better as you ramp the difficulty, I just wanted to motor through it as soon as I could.

Ok, I see what you're saying. I can see how one can feel that way when they prefer a more drawn out epic with lots of character development. I've always liked Halo's breakneck speed, and I think they chose a masked character because of the lack of character development. By not giving Master Chief a face, you can put your face underneath.

Thats is a good criticism, though, and well explained as opposed to "the story sucks". Thanks for the clarification.

It's not the character development that I wanted. I just expected more of a story in the storyline. Things changed way too fast at some points.

*Spoiler*






Like at the end, when you're working with the flood, and then the very next moment, you're fighting them again. I mean, I get it and all. It just seems stupid to me. That entire thing made me say "What the fuck, that was entirely un-needed."







*End*




I like the speed of the game, and the action. Just not the pace of the storyline. They could have -in my opinion - easily wedged some more levels in there for us people who see Halo as more than a Counterstrike for the 360.

I like the game. I own it and all that jazzy razzamatazz, and I intend to keep playing it. It just seems as the entire single person mode was rushed. Like the final Star Wars movie. Too much, in too little.
