Halo 3

Halo 3 - Arbiter Master Chief is back in action: the Covenant has reached Earth, and the last human bases are on the brink. The defense is falling apart, and survivors must be pulled out before the planet turns to ash. Some episodes take place in transport, and then the controls change noticeably. Skirmishes take place in the first person, and there is a lot to unfold in them: shields, weapons of both sides, equipment and small open areas that can be passed in different ways. In co-op, tasks are divided between players, and it’s much more interesting to play with two or four people. Equipment breaks down and is repaired, so part of the battle is based on timely repairs. In addition to shooting, there are episodes involving vehicles, skirmishes with large opponents, and small riddles. Some of the levels are arranged linearly, others are like a sandbox where you can get into a tank or a plane. Shields require recharging, so the rhythm of the battle is based on breaks and the right moment to attack. The campaign consists of short chapters, and each ends with a small denouement, after which you want to move on. Multiplayer is separate from the campaign: it has its own maps, modes and playlists. For many, it was the network part that became the main reason to return to this game. Co-op allows four players to play through the campaign, which significantly increases the difficulty of encounters. The plot is told in short scenes between missions, and most of the story is told through the environment. For players who love classic sci-fi shooters with big battle scenes.
