Halo 3...

is coming out tomorrow! Technically speaking, 2 days from now, but most people will be going to midnight launch parties, so you can look forward to standing in line for three hours! I guees the memories will be better then the game. Actually, no. That game will overwrite all memories of your childhood, and any other treasured things. So here's what's new since Halo 2, in list format.

The good:

New gear! Everyone loves new hardware, and halo 3 has plenty. Just thinking about them makes my head hurt. The standout's are: The Brute Spiker(gun), the Brute Chopper(Vehicle. Imagine what would happen if Brutes owned the show American chopper.),Spartan laser(laser powered ownage), Assault rifle, Spike grenade, the flare and the gravity hammer.

An ending. Need I say more? Gamespot has confirmed that ending is not,in fact, a steaming pile of crap like the one in halo 2.

The brutes. They look really promising.

Forge. For those that don't know, Forge is a map editor that can't edit maps. What you can change is everything else... Teleporters,shotguns, grenades, vechicles, equipment, and just about everything else. Besides the terrain.

And now the half a year or so old stunner: the x-button! For this, there's good and bad. The good is that when you hit x, you throw down a peice of equipment. The bad is Bungie's handling of this secret. They kept the the function of it a closely guarded secret until the beta. No one really used it, everybody was really let down. Maybe it will change in the final game.

skate. style video editing. Now everyone will be able to see your noob combo abuse!

The bad

The players. Halo 2 had so many high pitched little kids flipping out whenever they killed themselves with the rocket launcher, I might as well gouge out my eardrums with a pencil when halo 3 comes out.

The fact that the halo fps games have come to an end. For all of 10 seconds. Bungie will realize that the Halo series is a license to print money and announce another fps halo game pretty soon after the launch of Halo 3. I hope.
