Halo Launch

It's finally here! No, not my wedding date. Halo 3 is here. Granted we have yet to buy an Xbox 360, but we are hoping to get one soon.

One of the few perks of the job was to be invited to the D.C. Halo 3 Launch Party on the roofdeck of a Chinatown office building. I got to play the multiplayer function with a couple of strangers and for a few minutes with Chris.

After finally realizing that we were playing as a team and not against each other it made the game a bit more interesting. There are a lot of the same weapons from Halo 2, but a few more interesting ones that I sometimes couldn't figure out how to shoot. It seems as if the Xbox 360 has a few extra buttons that I wasn't quite sure how to use. I still think I am better than Chris though. To top off the dorkiness: the Master Chief helmet that comes with $130 game is mighty tempting.
