I was the opposite, I tried it for 10 minutes, ejected it and didnt touch it again for a couple weeks. I did drool when I booted up DOA 3 though. For me to drool when 1st seeing Halo would mean the graphics impressed me, they did not. The story and attachment to Chief/Cortana is what drew me in.
I was pissed it didnt have Lan co-op, even more pissed when Bungie didnt offer it in part 2

Its why Bungie is on my EA list until further notice. Once Syslink/Lan Coop is confirmed for part 3, they come off the shatlist and the game gets preordered(I have no interest in its MP) I want a kick ass SP campaign and Lan co-op, is that 2 much 2 ask? I think not
