With all of the summer movie blockbusters coming out, some of us may have forgotten about the debut of one of the biggest games any of us has ever seen – Halo 3! I don’t know about you, but I have definitely been sleeping on this title. I’m not sure why I have been, but after reading all about it at IGN, I’m back on the chuck wagon.
There is a ton of stuff you gotta love about this game right from the start, the promise of concluding the story that stopped so abruptly at the end of Halo 2, better graphics and MORE kicka$$ enemy AI. But one of the things that I really didn’t realize was lacking in Halo 2, (until I read the reviews on IGN) was just how out of balance some of the games’ weapons were.
Now if you ever played online, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. And let’s start at the top of the list with the Plasma Pistol. This gun was NOTORIOUS online for being uber cheap…Just charge it up, get the shot off, and your enemy is basically a sitting duck since their shields are no more. But guess what, the gun has apparently been balanced so this type of thing can be avoided in the future. Other guns like the Needler have also been revamped becoming more powerful and more targeted which should also be a cool update.Besides the balance issues, I’m probably most excited about the new Trip Mine and Spike Grenade which can stick to walls and will blow up if shot or touched! (I’m getting a very Goldeneye-like tingle!) Are you guys getting as excited as I am? Check out the article about the new weapons
