I'm an Bungie Mac game player from the Marathon and Myth days. I finally caved and bought an XBox 360 Elite and picked up Halo: Combat Evolved and Gears of War this month. I have been playing Halo: CE on my Mac, but never got around to finishing it, so figured I'd snag it for the XBox. So I just completed the game on the 360 today. About a week to complete on Heroic - but maybe about 4 solid days worth if you added it together. Some of the levels I had to redo because I kept dying so often. Most notably, the levels with The Flood on them. The middle part of the game drove me nuts too having to play the levels I had already played, except going backwards. Made me want to shut the game off, but I plunged on through. I can't even fathom how somebody could have completed the game first try in less than day.
Even though I think the first game parallels/homages Jim Cameron's Aliens a little closely, it's been fun for the most part and looks to be taking on a life of its own. I'm looking forward to continuing the story and moving on to 3 as well.
BTW. I just finished the game on Heroic and it shows my 'Load Level' game for 'The Maw' as 'in progress' even though I completed the game. Is this normal? Kind of odd to not at least say 'level completed.'
