So, we've all managed to plow through the Halo 3 campaign now, right? After all, the game has been available for more than 24 hours, so everyone should have beaten it by now, all of its secrets laid bare. Good, because now it's time to delve into campaign scoring. A brand new feature in Halo 3, campaign scoring helps players net achievements and find a way to compete with their friends even during cooperative play (as if Team Slayer wasn't enough?). Bungie.net has posted a campaign scoring guide to help players get the most out of the feature. For those that have been wondering how many points each Grunt, Brute, and Jackal are worth, the guide is the place to find out. Not only that, but the guide explains difficulty multipliers (i.e. kills are worth more on Heroic than on Normal), style multipliers, and Halo skulls. By the way, the guide contains spoilers, so those still avoiding them had best look away. The rest of us, however, can get the most out of campaign scoring using the guide.
Oh, the guide also gives a few "tips" on how to maximize your individual score at the expense of others. Our favorite: melee your teammate as he charges into the fray. This will drop his shields. By the time he softens up the enemies, he'll probably be dead, leaving them all for you. Hello multikill bonus!

Let me just say, 4 player co-op, although a little clunky at times, was absolutely a blast, especially with the team scoring...but I would suggest that players with any familiarity with game to play it on Legendary, as we were blowing through the levels like they were on easy! To slow yourselves down just activate the first skull you find on level 1...that evens thing sout quite abit!!!
Btw, Richard, our Clan (+25 year old memebrs only) is hosting a LAN in two weeks if you are interested...holler and thanks for the reviews!

Damn...I have been working so much that I have only had time to play to the 6th level on Legendary playing a solo campaign. I can't touch slayer till I beat the story...I'm just weird like that. Still I can't wait to play some 4 player co-op!
The game is a blast. I am not at all disappointed...except for the fact that Legendary is still WAY too easy for my liking!

Question about co-op campaign...
If I play this through with my friends, will we be missing anything that is in the single player story? Like cut scenes, etc?

Same thing happened to me after completing the 8th level, I turned the game back on and had progressed to the 9th level, however I didn't get the achievement for beating the 8th level! >:O BTW, playing on an launch XB360 still :)

Why is the Xbox 1 Halo Special Edition being left out of the loop?
