Just had a blast, honestly I dont think its all that. I will play some more midweek probably, but I had 30 mins then switched it off, certainly not in a rush to play it again.

Could well be just another FPS...

all fps is just another fps, halo brings four player co op to the mix

Just a small warning since a m8 has already been banned, play online before official release date and your noted and up for a console and account lockout on live :P

I dont and wont use live, and I dont see how they will know when I played it, if you unplug the console it resets the clock :lol:  :roll: (its also not networked so it cant get the correct time either)

Besides MS said they would ban MS employees only, not those in the public who got sold it.

Your comment about another fps is another fps rings true, the only reason im getting the special edition 360 console is because I like the colour and mine keeps breaking, not because I like the halo franchise  :lol:

Nah, its people, they have made public announcements and told the stores to inform people and emailed people who they seen online and asked them not to go online and if they do again they will be banned so people have a warning and then if the ignore it, bye bye live.

FPS are all the same its what they add and the reply value that matters with them and the thing with past halo games is even though the second was not as good as the first they have a reply value and co op had a reply value. 4 player adding more mobs and playing online so you got a full screen play as well is kind of a big thing

I know but its like printing or putting out there the harry potter books, people have been arrested for just having a copy ad changed so they are very strict on things.
I can see the shops having to pay a fine

What The.  First person Shooters are all the same?  Care to explain?

If this was the case there would be no need for game reviews.

Can you say the same thing to Bioshock that its just another FPS? Its a totally new style of FPS compared to others and thats why its so acclaimed to be one of the greatest Xbox 360 and PC games out there. Can Halo 3 beat Bioshock?

Bioshock is amazingly pretty, but it is actually a throwback in gameplay.  What happened to the idea about online gaming, and multiplyer? what about non-linear gameplay?  It is interesting to see how much the Unreal3 engine is capable of though.

I bought it, i played it, now im back on STALKER and Empire At War, while I wait for Universe At War, and the STALKER add-on pack to arrive.

Hopefully it can do outdoor well, Doom 3 engine was just pants for outdoor

Farcry 2 should be a great open experience
