I don't know if it was my imagination or not, but back in the N64/Playstation generation it seemed like most of the best games tended to have single player campaigns in the 25 - 40 hour range, in the last generationg (PS2/XBox/Gamecube) that seemed to drop to 15 to 30 hours, and now it seems to be in the 8 to 15 hour range.

How many people think games are getting shorter because they're getting too expensive to develop and how many people think they're getting shorter because developers are cutting out more 'crap'?



Well to me I see that games are long in my opinion. I play games and if I get messed up a part and I feels as though I'm trying countless times. I just give up and come back to it later. Thats what extends my playtime with the game. Now Halo 3 is a game thats going to take me a quite of long time. Achievements are in the game like crazy. I know if you beat a diffculties you will get some kind of 200 gamer points. Its worth it with me.

Well I got to work, see you guys tomorrow or midnight here in American when I have HALO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Dammit!!! If only this was released on Blu ray!!!

LMAO 1080p on dvd?? hahahaha!!

On topic: If the game were to be 1080p and 60fps the length would drop from 9 hours to 6 hours, 1080p takes nearly double the space that 720p does. 9 hours isnt short in my opinion.

Could you refresh my memory on how great the multi player aspect of HS is or did you have to return your 8-hour rental before you had a chance to play on line?

 I'll take too expensive for a 1000 Alex!



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Meh, as a fan of the story of the Halo series and an avid hater of Xbox Live thanks to my experience with Halo 2 this is pretty disappointing. Rather than this being the first game I get for the 360 it's one I'll be picking up from the bargain bin a long way down the road instead. I can always go to a friends house to play his version to scratch that itch, but unless Xbox Live gamers have drastically changed in maturity from the days of Halo 2, I think this is a pass for me.
