That's great, I'm already enjoying myself a lot with Halo in multiplayer-
don't need UT2004 for awhile to come. I like it that the vehicles are
indestructible, opens up some nice tactics like teleporter blocking.

Tim O <timo56REMOVE@hotmail.com> thought that a good way to threaten
somebody was to light a stick of dynamite, then call the guy and hold
the burning fuse up to the phone and say:

Still no co-op :-(

Not adding a real save game and/or quick-save feature for
single-player??  That is why I quit playing it and Prince of Persia

I am normally an advocate of save anywhere, but I played through the
whole of Halo and never felt the need to save anywhere. A linear game
with frequent save points works well for me.

I agree with this. It actually kind of relieved the burden of having
to worry about it. Halo might have had a few things wrong, but the
saves and the multi-player worked well. I'm not into co-op play, so I
didn't miss it.

Halo had SO many checkpoints that auto-saved that i really don't think it
needed a seperate save-game option. The check points in Far Cry are a little
more widely spaced and are more debateable mind you.
