Where’s the giant rat?

343 are finally getting weird withHalo: The Master Chief Collection, and that’s great. But they were never going to hold a candle against the game’s modders, who’ve lately decided whatHalo 3really needs is to turn everyone into a rat. That’s exactly the premise behind Rat Slayer, an upcoming mod that - daft as it is - never dared to consider whether John Halo isn’t already just two-dozen rodents wearing a man-shaped suit of power armour.

Yes, it looks absolutely ridiculous. But gosh, it’s so deeply in the spirit of Halo, isn’t it? I’ve been dropping intoHalo 3every weekend for a month or so with similarly-trapped-in-nostalgia pals, running around Sandtrap at 500% speed with hammers and useless rocket launchers, or playing completely busted forge maps that send you into orbit at whim. A version of either where we’re all rats doesn’t feel particularly far-fetched.

In less skittery Halo news,Halo 3: ODSTwrapped up its flighting (beta) period this week, which means we should be seeing the jazz-noir spin-off drop into The Master Cheif Collection any week now. After dipping my toes back into ODST during the test, I’m delighted to confirm it’s still the best one.
