Thank god you didn't praise the Needler or commit some comparable sacrilege. <BR/><BR/>Anyways this piece got me sucked in to playing Halo again (this happens every few motns) and it's only made your basic argument more convincing. It really matters what kind of weapons you run into each match, and this is pretty happenstance.

I don't have a huge range of experience when it comes to online multiplayer shooters but I've always been impressed by how the weapon variety and map design come together to create this multiple-register combat; very different from the way that COD4 matches play out, where you almost always stick with the same weapons.<BR/><BR/>Also I think I"m with you that the randomness of Halo 3 is a key to its fun. It's just very freewheeling, which is one of the good things about it. Maybe it's just the jumping, or whatever, but it's got this enjoyably chaotic feel that's great. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, kudos for continuing to talk about games that were released more than 3 months ago.
