Halo More Underwhelming

So my friend and I finished Halo 3 a few days ago and I have a few things to add to my previous comments.

First, I second everything that Yahtzee has to say about it, with a few extra things.

Halo 3 is the same game as Halo. Sure there are new weapons and a couple of new (worthless) vehicles, but the game follows the same frakking plotlines!

Game begins with the station/ship that you're on being attacked - and you have to escape?

Your first goal after crashing (can you actually land a Pelican?) is to find other survivors

Sergeant Major Johnson gets kidnapped and you have to save him?

You have to find the "Cartographer" - a big map room?

You have to work with the "Monitor" -the master computer running the show, and pretend to be surprised when he betrays you?

You enter an area that, SURPRISE, the Flood shows up?

Your AI construct, Cortana, is taken from you and you have to rescue her?

You need to destroy the Halo device?

After causing the Halo to self-destruct you escape the station/ship on a Warthog, all while the place is blowing up and enemies are trying to stop you?

Did I miss anything?

How about lagging issues? I fully understand a PC game lagging - the developers have no idea what hardware I'm running. However, what justifies game lag in a console? The hardware specs are always the same, if something is too much for the system to handle it, TAKE IT OUT, or at least change something?

One other question, How can Master Chief fall from orbit and survive, but falling off a gorram bridge is deadly?

I understand that this game is mainly for the preteen multiplayers out there, but then don't market it as the "Next Great Campaign Game That Will Totally Make You Wet Your Pants and Forget About Your Life, Job and Girlfriend"*. As far as the multiplayer, there are much better multiplayer games out there - 2142 anyone?

Bottom line? Suck it Bungee...
