Halo 3 rejects the part of your brain that wants to master a game and make rank numbers go up-something that isn't helped by the MCC's series-spanning levelling system. Maybe I've been spoilt by a decade of refinement in the competitive shooter space. Rounds, especially on larger modes, linger a little too long-and with teams often finding themselves unbalanced from the start, it can be a chore to sit through a 20-minute game you know you've lost. But as I've found with previous MCC releases, it's not something I'll stick with beyond a light distraction. The right amount of weapons on the best lineup of maps, without streamlined loadouts and abilities that would crop up in later games. It's my favourite version of the Halo formula. There really isn't anything quite like Halo multiplayer. But It's big team battles that always hit the hardest-rolling tanks and chaotic explosions that less resemble Battlefield than they do a military toybox thrown haphazardly over stunning alien landscapes. Smaller rounds have their charms, weaving through phenomenal maps to outflank foes, memorising the routes and timings for weapons like the energy sword or rocket launcher. Like the campaign, there really isn't anything quite like Halo multiplayer. They're still deadly with a mouse, but not quite so much that other weapons don't get their time to shine. Thankfully, Halo 3's precision shooters have been toned down from the first game's pistol and the sequel's BR. It's a spirit that carries over into the game's now-legendary multiplayer scene, even if-once again-carbines and battle rifles throw that balance into flux.
