So, I suck at FPS games... but I am genuinely curious as to how good this game is compared to Halo 2. Is MLG in for a big surprise in terms of hosting freakishly awesome tournaments with a whole new competitive game?

I heard that the multi player is basically the same as Halo 2 with a few new things added, but nothing that makes it significantly different from Halo 2.
The biggest new addition, as far as I can tell, is that you can now play campaign mode with up to 4 players online.

Does anyone know if you have to beat the campaign mode to unlock all the armour and helmets and whatnot. Also, I'm kinda dissappointed in the multilayer levels so far, I haven't played with my friends yet so I'll see how that plays out (no pun intended).
AHHHHHH. Campaign too short.... 
only 4 hours on normal.
At least there is more than one difficulty...

I bought Halo 3 today, but I don't have my 360 yet(I probably won't have one for at least 2 to 3 weeks).

They'll probably put up some stuff later in the year, downloadable content, that is. Halo is MS' pride and joy so they're probably going to flesh this one out, since it's the last.

I'd have to say the mechanics are almost identical, it's just they've added things here and there that definitely improve the overall experience. More depth in weapons, grenades, and support objects, sprawling levels, new vehicles,customizable characters, new ranking system, FORGE!!!, and not to mention the graphics and physics are touched up a bit too.(except for the fact that beat downs send you flying like a rocket launcher does).
4 player cooperative campaign mode was a blast with my friends.

Halo 3 worship is for fanboys. Being a smasher is a life style. Halo doesn't have quarter circle DI, and Captain Falcon would just ****ing knee Master Chief in the neck.

So is 4 player co-op like campaign with 4 people or is it side missions?
I prefer to go through the original missions and I hate when games give you some side mission that is too easy to be any fun.

It's 4 player Co-op and if your teammate dies he just regenerates back instead of everyone having to go back to the last checkpoint. (From what I've heard).

I don't even own a 360, but being a gamer, to deny that aspect of my life would be a great loss indeed. Like they recently said on CNN Headline news, Tuesday Morning, gaming culture has gained such magnitude that it is almost as big as the cinema. Halo, is like one of those classic movies that everyone should see once.
I would definitely say that being a smasher is a much bigger part of my life than halo is, even though i play it with my friends fairly often.
And C. Falcon wouldn't stop there. Our boy would wobble->shine->knee combo Master Chief in the blink of an eye.
And the arbiter could square off with Mewtwo, seems like a fair fight to me.

Hey guys, if this turns into a "which character would win" topic I will start warning all of you!

duely noted. The thing I noticed about co-op is that later in the game, if one of you dies, you almost never get to respawn because of the constant engagements with
. Alot of the time when my friend would die, the only time he'd respawn was when I was like crouched behind a crate or something, and he'd respawn just off the side of the catwalk we were on, so he'd basically be stuck lol.

uh, ok? i never owned an xbox and i've only played halo 2 once or twice but this game is amazing.

I have reason to believe that they're stuck in slipspace. If you read any of the books, you'd know it's happened before (sort of. At least they've been in slipspace). I have reason to believe that we haven't seen the last of Master Chief. Bungie said they weren't done with the universe, but 'Halo' is finished; as in this story arc. The series ends with how it began... our hero in the "hushed casket". Aside from that, what didn't you understand?

I don't know if you read GameInformer , but in the previews section there is mention of "Halo Wars", which is a 1-player real-time strategy(multiplayer TBA). From what I've seen, it's got alot more of the Halo story from the fiction include, and while I'm not as big of a diehard fan of RTS games, it'll still be worth a rental.

Well that's why I said it's story from the fiction. I haven't ready any though, they good?

It also had a timeline in that issue that showed such things as when John-117 was put into the Spartan-II program (first book, "Fall of Reach"), when the humans made first contact with the covenant, when the war started, etc.
I think Halo wars takes place between the start of the timeline, and probably up to the end of Halo 3.
Untrue; It's going to add more to the story, because there's a LOT of stuff that goes on 'behind the scenes' while you're following Master Chief's story. 'Ghosts of Onyx' is a great example of this, and so will 'Contact Harvest', which follows Mstr. Sgt. Johnson's story.
They are AWESOME. You can skip 'The Flood', cause it's the first game. I recommend all of the others, 'Fall of Reach', 'First Strike', and 'Ghosts of Onyx'. Great books.

MASTER CHIEF DIED!

First off, use spoilers. Secondly,MASTER CHIEF DIED!
The Master Chief and Cortana did survive if you waited through the closing credits, check wiki for proof(or better yet just beat the game).

MASTER CHIEF DIED!
Actually, as stated above I survived. Yes, I am Master Chief.
I'm so lazy, I haven't even beaten my Halo3 yet. I just killed that thing that kills Sergeant Johnson, my dear dear friend.

Master Chief dies. Yup, he does. He wins the war for the humans, but dies after the heroic explosion which he escapes. It doesn't show his death, just when he landed safely back on the ship with the Arbiter. The last sequence is a memorial service for all the dead soldier. There we see a picture of Miranda Keyes, and Master Chief's helmet. The Arbiter is there to attend it, but leaves with the remaining Elites after the service off into space. The end.

I don't know jack **** about Halo's story, my idiot friend prefers to play retardedly hard/thoughtless SNES and Genesis games [he has a modded box]than to beat Halo and at least let me see the story. Kinda makes me wonder why he even got a xbox if all he's gonna play is that crap -.-
For some reason spoilers don't kill anything for me =/

I'm really disapointed with the ending because it didn't make any sense. The same "results" could have happened and I would've been fine, but they way that it worked out was ********. I already returned the game.

Lol, you played Halo for the story? No wonder you were disappointed.
