Well I finally got all the Firefight achievements, as well as all the other ones but the Vidmasters.

When everyone's ready, we can do a 4-player Vidmaster spree?

Inv4der, we need to get some discussion going in this thread, let's hear your thoughts on...something!

For fun, I went to back and played Halo 1's campaign with a buddy of mine for a while today. Good stuff, good memories. It's actually rather shocking how much the game has changed since then (at least in regards to Halo 2 and 3; ODST is quite a bit more like Halo 1). I also realize how much more fun it is to fight Elites rather than Brutes. The Elites just seem to have more character and are more interesting foes. I also realize how much more fun the Flood were fun to fight in this game compared to 2 and 3. Honestly, this game nailed the campaign gameplay.

Halo 1's campaign was very good because it make you work on skills that would be useful in multiplayer, such as throwing grenades well and pistol skill. The campaigns of Halo 2 and 3 were much more about single player gags and deviation from such "standard" gameplay. Not to mention that even on Legendary, your enemies stood still

. I didn't care for them. I didn't care for Halo 3's multiplayer either - it was everything I disliked about Halo 2, multiplied by three, with the consistency of H2 removed, and without any awesome maps like Lockout and Midship as saving grace.

It's hard to imagine that Halo 1's multiplayer was an afterthought to the game, as it is just such a blast. There is nothing on Earth more satisfying than a Killtactular from one pistol clip. That's the gold standard to me. If you could take that online easily and in a lag-free situation, that would probably be the majority of my gaming time.

I miss fighting the Elites.

Halo 1 really did have an amazing campaign. I dunno about you guys, but I honestly had more trouble on Halo 2's campaign on Legendary than I did Halo 1, 3, or ODST. Way too many Jackal snipers, and that one area on Delta Halo I think it was, with the tons of Drones in the forest. *shudder*

You mind if I add you on XBL inv4der? I'm sure we can get four people together for those Vidmasters soon. :P

Regarding all these maps, is the notion that at some point all of them will be free? I can't remember, but I think I went in and downloaded all of H3's free ones just in case I ever buy the game and they aren't free anymore.

I forgot to mention that I only played a few games on it, so I'm not sure how great it is for the game, but I really liked the look of the grassy one with the satellites in the background. Reminded me of Contact.

Forget the FPSs (COD dominates that market for me), Halo Wars is where it's at. I feel like I've almost worn that disc out. Such a good time.
