lol, good one, you really sounded like a retarded 360 fanboy.
@Andy: Yeah I guess, I think that comment from Phizzy just started me off there ¬_¬
Apparently the case for the limited edition is a bit flimsy and the CDs have been known to fall out of place - meaning you might have scratches on the CD or something. So I suggest not buying the limited edition one (or you can send the scratched CD to Microsoft and they send you a replacement)
Despite the fanboy halo haters I got this game, I felt it was a refined version of both 1 and 2. I was able to appreciate the amount of effort that they put into making this game as a result I enjoyed it.
Lol, best online game ever. Sorry but have you played Battlefield Nam or '42? You know, the PC versions; thought the console versions of BF2 weren't that bad (Just the games were too small).
Halo is and always will be a well made FPS. Nothing more/less. It doesn't deserve all the hype it gets. I'm a ravid FPS fan and there's really nothing Halo did that others didn't do. (Recharging shields and only having 2 weapons doesn't count).
Now if the TRUE Halo had come out, they yes, that could have been the best online game ever. (Was going to be an MMO FPS essentially; this was shortly after they made the switch from 3rd to first person. I still have the huge PC gamer article about it.) But that died a long time ago, and it's such a shame that they've never even looked at that Idea again; considering they supposibly had it mostly done.
But yes, standard FPS through and through.
Oh, and apparently Timesplitters 2 HD is coming out soon, SCORE!

Nah, these are better than BF imo, for PC:
Black Hawk Down
Medal of Honour (AA)
Unreal Tournament
CoD2
I played halo 1 demo on the pc, it was nice to suicide bomb the other peoples base in that weird flying vehicle, but the actual character movement just seemed way too slow to me.

Well, besides Flava.
Seriously we should play some time.. Every time you're on a server it's always full so I can't join.
And Shab just brought up another good FPS - Timesplitters. I absolutely loved that game - brings back lots of great memories
At the end of the day there are lots of great games out there - Halo 3 is one of them. I don't think the hype is deserved, but I'm betting it's a must have game for 360 owners.
