Yeah me and a mate went up to the launch, they only had limited edition copies left so picked one up.

Great game, awesome campaign, we kept playing until about 7:30am with both our 360's hooked up, with both my screens next to each other (HDTV)

Was an awesome experience

Are the levels in Halo 3 less repetitive?

I enjoyed Halo 1. However, I noticed that certain levels were very repetitive. What I mean is that they merely consist of running and gunning through the same setting over and over again. e.g. 'the library' level in Halo 1. That level in particular was really boring because it just felt really repetitive.

I hope Halo 3 has more 'variety' in its levels so that the player doesn't feel like he/she is doing the same thing over and over again.

+2. LOVED halo 1 for ages, then got repetitive after a bit, Halo 2 seemed the same as one, but more levels of the same repetitive nature.

Hope Halo 3 is different, as i'll get a 360 for it if it is.

Yeah I pre-ordered the game, which I'll pick up tomorrow. Pity I have to buy the console tomorrow too.
I loved them both!!!

Ouch, sucks to be you. A few people have had no luck with them crashing at this important time.

I've been on a fair bit, multiplayer for the win.

I played it on a mates 360 and thought it was waaay better than 2 (not so boring anymore :P), great game.

I think it's just hyped, not over hyped. Good times playing it.

Now to save for a 360...

got it on the tuesday morning and finished it on legendary later that night. Loved the campaign, especially the last level. You really have to play it in high def with digital surround sound to get the full experience. Live is good fun aswell. I want a some remakes from a few map in halo 2. Remake of terminal would be awesome.

Remakes of Beaver Creek and Foundation would also be nice.

I think the levels that are there, are too big. If you only have 6 people it's fairly impossible to get a close combat game. But it'll be good to see some new maps

Just picked up my copy today. :

Now all I need to do is buy an Xbox 360 lol. I heard that the Elite and Halo special edition consoles are less prone to the Red Ring of Death?
