I played like 50-80 games of Halo 3 on Saturday and it ran decent.
I started like around 5:30pm and ended at like 1 AM.
There was still some hiccups don't get me wrong but it is way better than it was at launch.
Started getting the feel back for the game but also my frustration also because I was yelling at my chick when not doing good
Still the worst part about Halo is having to rely on team mates unlike COD where I could be a one man army, which I am most of the time.
Most of the games I played in the session was Slayer with one being 1 flag.
I'm kind of happy that the party thing isn't working because me playing solo would get steam rolled against a team.
As usual typical NT I reply in this thread like 5 times that I was on playing and see others saying they're playing too and nothing.
I also realized that although I was addicted playing and couldn't stop I kept saying one more game when I went to the bathroom my eyes were bloodshot red and that's when I knew it was time to stop.
I don't know how this is going to pan out for me because I got addicted playing and lost track of time, but I'm not young anymore with all this spare time on my hands so I don't know how Halo will work out for me. I can't see myself wasting all this time playing it but I want to and am fiending too but I want to do so casually but when I start playing I'm in full focused mode
For reasons like this is why COD will always be popular because it's something you can pick up and play and do so casually with little skill or preparation time.
