Halo 3

So my roommates and I went and picked Halo 3 up at midnight tonight and I've spent the last couple of hours playing online. The gameplay seems relatively similar which is obviously good because there was no need to make major changes in the first place. There are new weapons and maps but none of them has made a huge impression on me yet. The biggest change is that the online play is exponentially better - there are more pre-game options so you aren't just put into a random game like with Halo 2 and by choosing to prioritize a good connection during our game selection we were able to play live with 4 different accounts on the same TV without any lag at all. This is absolutely amazing - with Halo 2, it started to lag with 2 people playing together and became unplayable with 3+. The graphics are also quite impressive but the improved online play is definitely the best improvement.
