This campaign is blowing my mind. I love how I can pick up all the events that precede Halo CE.

Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

Finally showed up!!  Now I just gotta get to and from work and I can play! :)

Judging by the responses, I'm assuming the story is rad again?  How are the visuals?

I'm not as high on the story as most, but it definitely pushed my nostalgia buttons. It was a great way to end. I also LOVED the mission title throwbacks.

Nostalagia will do the trick! :)

OMG, Snipers on that valley map on Forge World in Team Slayer is literally a Halo dream come true for me.
Hemorrhage? (Blood Gulch?)

I've been informed by a Halo fanboy friend that this is correct. I do feel like I'm missing out on a lot in this one by not having played 1 or 2, moreso than I did in 3. Still, it's AWESOME. Can't wait to play again tonight as Hotel Dusk 2 still hasn't arrived.

You should grab a used copy of Halo CE and play it before you beat the campaign.

Oh, and to everyone who we haven't played with yet: You gotta get online, we're having so much fun

I don't like it very much. There's not an original map in the game that I truly love.
