Halo 3: Games

The game play in Halo 3 is tweaked, not overhauled, to the point where there's zero learning curve if you've played Halo and Halo 2. Still, the changes are immediately noticeable, with controls that are tighter, far more depth of field and much sharper graphics. The experience of moving from Halo 2 to Halo 3 is not unlike putting on a new pair of glasses after going way too long without updating your prescription.

A team of class action attorneys has launched an investigation into complaints that Halo 3 was falsely marketed as a high definition product, but does not actually render native high definition resolutions. These complaints are that, although Halo 3 was advertised as having a 720p resolution (720 pixels), it natively renders at 640p (640 pixels) and is simply scaled up to 720p. Read more about it here. If you purchased the Halo 3 game, you may be entitled to recover money. ***Please note the naming of a company does not imply that it engaged in any wrongdoing.

Sign it on you will... as Halo 3's true replay value lies in the countless activities you can engage in with it while connected to people across the world. Let's start with the up-to-four-player co-op campaign, complete with individual player scoring and unlockable "Skulls" which alter the overall difficulty while adding score multipliers. Then there's the multiplayer itself, old hat for longtime Halo fans, spruced up with a bunch of new gameplay modes culled from the efforts of the online mod-making community. For the first time, you can even customize your avatar with different armor combinations, some of which must be unlocked by completing a variety of tasks in multiplayer. And looming over everything is the Forge, an ambitious, well-implemented and fully playable multiplayer map editor.

Besides refinements, Halo 3 ... brings entirely new features to the series. One such feature, known as 'Forge', is a map-editing tool that enables players to insert game objects, such as weapons and crates, into existing multiplayer maps.[23] Almost all weapons, vehicles, and interactive objects can be placed and moved on maps with Forge.[25] Forge allows multiple players to work on maps at the same time, players can turn into a Forerunner Monitor and edit and manipulate objects in-game.[26] Another new feature is 'Saved films', which allows players to save up to 100 films of gameplay to their Xbox 360's hard drive,[27][28] viewing the action from any angle and at different speeds. The Saved Films are only game data (not an actual video) and this allows the file sizes to be smaller than a true recording. Saved films are played back at whatever resolution the Xbox 360 is currently set to, regardless of which resolution was used when the film was recorded. All games are recreated in real-time on the Xbox 360 using the Halo 3 engine.[29] Halo 3 offers a form of file sharing, where items such as saved films, screenshots, custom game modes, and Forge settings can all be uploaded to the 'File Share'. Anyone can browse user created content that has been uploaded to Bungie's website on a personal computer and tag it to automatically download to their console next time they sign into Xbox Live.[21][30]
