I can has Halo 3- plus a funny (if a bit twisted) anecdote

[samaritan1975]

I wasn't going to even buy this, but FYE was having a rebate/sale that got it down to $20, so I figured what the heck. The SP campaign is... well, not bad, but it's not superb yet. I'm only a short way into the game, anyways.

I haven't tried the MP yet, but I do understand that's where the game shines. I might have time tonight to give it a whirl.

So, last night, I decided that I'd just mess around the SP. I got to the point where the ops center gets raided, and you have to escape from underground with some Marines via the Warthogs. So, the twisted part of me, seeing a wounded Marine being tended to by a medic, says "I wonder what would happen if I decided to enact some of my own triage...."

*BLAM!*

The medic stands, looks at me, draws his weapon, and says, "Jesus, Chief. He was one of ours!" The medic then runs around a stack of crates, and stands over another wounded Marine... as if... daring me?

*BLAM!*

"Dammit, Chief, I didn't wanna do this!!!!" *ratatatatatat with his gat* I drop the medic... another Marine comes running over.

"You know, Chief... you could've just asked him for his weapon."

*L*

I have to say, the AI does have some funny lines. "Hey, pedestrians have rights too!" (having nearly been run over by a Ghost); "You drive- I wanna shoot things!" (boarding the Warthog), and so on.

It's funny how good video games tend to make one fluctuate between ultra-good (Getting attached to NPC backup) and calously murderous of their own side :)
