Interesting read
But the game gets a bit of a bashing from the reporter.
He has issues with the A.I, he was underwelmed by the graphics and he also thinks that bungie have tried to play safe with this version and not change much of what made Halo2.
Just one mans opinion but it does get me down a bit.
We are only a month or so away from launch.

Nice sensationalist title by the way. He isn't even bashing it, he points out some obvious bugs that will certainly be fixed before release, and says that the decision not to try and reinvent the whole genre is a good one.
"BBC bashes Master Chief" is a bit harsh don't you think? Seemed completely fair and normal to me.
Ok bashes is a bit harsh but it did feel like and all round "negative" preview
Bleh Halo is under so much scrutiny. It is not even remotely my favorite franchise but I have no doubt that Halo 3 is going to be a fuckton of fun.
Not enough Bloom.
Games don't look real unless there's enough bloom to make the screen completely white.
Anyway, you can judge for yourself by looking at screens and video. It's not flashy, it doesn't immediately grab you by the balls and make you go "OMG GRAFIX" like Gears of War does, but it's just incredibly clean and real looking.
As for not changing it much from Halo 2, what do you expect? It's the sequel to the damn game. They're not going to radically change anything about the gameplay because it's been so successful in the previous games in the series.
Just had to make that minor correction there. :P
They've been having..... "accuracy" problems as of late

It's the final chapter in a popular trilogy.
What were you expecting? A strategy card game? It's not as if MC would suddenly gain the ability to fly or teleport or something
Amen.
honestly, the first thing i'd do would be to google "ebola cure rates".
ah well. I hope it ends up being great though. There's a small part of me that wishes it could be what I wanted Halo 1 and 2 to be. Just....more exciting and interesting. The gameplay was fine, it was everything else that felt bland to me.
You're half right!
You do realize the beta was extremely stripped down in terms of content right?
Pretty much.
Anyone who truly says that the Halo single-player was really some of the best out there (The Silent Cartographer != two amazing games... sorry) has some serious rose-tinted glasses. It's just Microsoft keep blowing up the bubble bigger and bigger and bigger until you expect Master Chief to give you a blow job while you play.
I still go back to replay the Halo campaign and love it... Generalizations ftw, amirite?
No he won't, but you will be playing as Cortana. :P
Is that Audrey II?
yeah, i'm not gonna say "it's one of the best singleplayer games in existance" or anything, but hey, for me.. it's one of my favourites. Sorry folks..
It only sounds that way because normally previews are sickening fluff pieces that amount to little more than a press release. The most negative thing you'll ever hear in a preview normally is "there were some issues I hope they work out before launch."
That's why the Lair review scores in EGM were such a shock to everybody ... because the previews were far too unwilling to criticize a work in progress, and readers take the absence of negative comments as a form of positive commentary.

Well then if you really like it, you're going to get more of the same, which is nice.
But Microsoft sell it like everyone thinks it's superawesome amazing. It's not Mario. Yay more generalisations! (with a fancy s rather than a z)
Well while of course not everyone thinks its superawesome amazing, the numbers dont lie and there are clearly a very large number of people who do think that.
when your game sets launch-day records, it sort of gives that impression. But yeah, we shouldn't turn this into a "it sucks/it doesn't" debate.
Did you play Halo 2?
Have you seen Little Shop of Horrors?
