So I’ve been playing the Halo 3 Beta for the last few days, and I must say it’s pretty cool. The graphics look awesome on my 50″ HDTV and it’s definitely a blast to play. However… the downside to this is having to listen to 12 year olds scream into the headset every fucking chance they get.

“GET THE FLAG GET THE FLAG GET THE FLAG OH MY GOD YOU SUCK!!11″

Holy jesus is this annoying. Seriously, if your kid is like this, beat him/her now. The rest of society shouldn’t have to put up with this crap.

On another note - I suck at this game. At least, the online part of it; I’ll own the shit out of the single player game, this is just a fact. I don’t know what it is… maybe I’m getting older? I thought this might be the case too, but then I loaded up Half-Life 2 and proceeded to own the fuck out of everything. To be honest, I just think that there really is a difference in control between keyboard+mouse and a console controller. I don’t feel like the controller is precise enough and using my thumb to aim really fucks me up. It’s more fluid with a mouse for me.

Perhaps it’s because I “grew up”, per se, on computer FPS’s. Doom, Quake, Quake 2, Unreal… these were all the games I played in what I would consider to be my formative FPS years. Or… maybe not. Either way, getting insta-killed every time you spawn fucking blows.
