Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?
I really enjoyed it. Scratch that, I really enjoy it.
I just wish there was more thought put into the matchmaking offerings. The Halo games have always been a shining example of player gametype customisation on consoles, but I've felt that since Halo 2 that Bungie have tried to put a more 'serious' spin on the multiplayer and stripped out the crazier stuff in favour of vanilla Slayer. Even the vanilla Objective modes like CTF, Assault, Stockpile, Territories, Headhunter feel like they've taken a back seat in Halo: Reach.
The new voting system felt like an opportunity to cram as many options in Halo: Reach as humanly possible (after all, there's six slots to choose from), but instead we got:
Slayer on Countdown
Slayer on Powerhouse
Slayer on Sword Base
Slayer Pro on Countdown
Headhunter on Powerhouse
Slayer Pro on Zealot
That's some serious choice there. The annoying part of it all is that this isn't a problem with the core mechanics that requires a title update, it's just a playlist update which 343i have done several of since taking over.
Maybe I'm just sore because I'm one of the tiny minority of players who like doing something other than murdering tonnes of dudes for the sake of murdering tonnes of dudes. If I wanted to do that, I'd play Painkiller (to complete the reference in the previous sentence.)
