I've played it a while back, but only for like 10 mins. I would just just like to know some things that make it unique, some things that suck, any vehicles that are diffrent(if any), stuff like that.
Oh and my b day is dec. 2
I've heard that there is a vehicle called the shark.....?
I'd say it's worth getting now. There are fewer gametypes (Slayer, CTF, Oddball, KotH, and Race), and there is less customization within them. The general interface of the game is lacking. So, you should probably go into it expecting very little customization. As I mentioned before, there is fall damage. The health system has both health and shields, and only the shields recharge. So, there are health packs. You can't jump as high. In multiplayer there are only three vehicles: ghost, warthog, and scorpion tank. The campaign adds the banshee. Halo PC multiplayer also has the banshee. There is no shark. It's possible that someone implemented that in a Halo Custom Edition map on the PC, but it's not standard. Minor things that might annoy you include the unmovable death cam, no "binocular" zoom function when holding a weapon without a scope, and you can't change your setting/controls in game.
Unique Characteristics:
Fully Indestructible vehicles
No Despawning/Respawning of vehicles
Ability to drive vehicles with the objective items (e.g. flag)
No vehicle boarding
Plasma stun (plasma weapons hold you in place when you're hit by them)
Melee is weaker (plus no lunge).
The pistol is insane (fires quickly and is a 3 shot kill).
The weapon set is much smaller.
There's no dual wielding.
