"Masterpiece"

Some people might ask themselves what makes a good video game series?.I dont just mean good as in above average I mean good as In long lasting,a game that will be remembered for taking it to the extreme and thats what Bungie did for Halo 3.

Fans of shooters and action games will fit right in from the start of Halo 3 SP and MP which I have to say MP is just jaw dropping,but I'll get to that later.Halo 3 begins where Halo 2 left off which Im gonna leave out for people who havent played Halo 2.At a glance the environment graphics are pretty nice while the character models arent the best but Bungie has improved since the first two entries,the over all graphics impressed me alot since theres really no shine in the background/environment which most current gen games do which is annoying.The vehicles look amazing and they actually this time around have that could be future military look unlike most other games which invent stuff out of the box.

Single player this time around is a improvement from the last two and its actually also my favorite and no two stages look the same which bungie does a good job in their games.Even on normal it was a pretty decent challenge if your just getting into FPS or your a little rusty from Halo 2 you might not want to try above the normal setting.As for the multiplayer Halo 3 takes the crown for MP content,with online matches with almost a dozen match types,system link which you and your friends can lan with which will not only bond you and your friends but also with the game for years to come.Also add fuel to the fire this time around bungie gave us gamers the chance to change our online/MP characters appearance which is just so cool to see what you can do to your MP avatar/character.

Theres also a new feature thats called the forge which is kinda like a map editor but you can only put spawn points,rearrange vehicle spawn points,weapon spawn points ect on the already complete/official MP maps which is pretty neat to spice things up.
