  1. Very good article, keep up the good work! This actually inspired me to go back to Halo campiagns from all 3 games(looks like another Halo:CE campiagn run…) which is something i dont normally do. This is a great series, but when are you guys gonna do the next Hindsight level,The Ark?

  3. Again, great article. I never truely noticed when playing Halo 2 just how much of difference the sandbox made. Now i’ve played through Halo:CE+2 again I can see just how much of difference there really is. The Ark is my second favourite along with Tsavo Highway, with The Covenant as my all time fav for H3!

    No, you’re absolutely right. Two were missing. They have since been included. Thanks!

    Also, I’d like to say I can’t believe I never knew about this website. It is wonderful! I like the write-ups, especially since I love the campaign missions of the Halo trilogy to no end.

  7. I hate the term sandbox. And unfortunately when people discuss possible ooptions in games, the word is used so often that I end up skimming whatever is said because every second word is “sandbox”
