Most of his comments are applicable to every single online FPS out there.

Cheaters, rude people, lag, repetitive gameplay, map packs, etc.

Just felt like bashing Halo, it is fashionable but not necessarily true.

Maybe you should read what he is saying before sh1tting your pants over something like this.

I always figure if people can't spell properly, they're not intelligent enough to comment. There is a spell check function. Use it.

Popular? Where in Japan? Hell no. This game is only popular in America (middle America most likely...lol). Playstation has far better franchises that surpass anything Halo will ever will be.

Adam Sessler has made numerous videos about BIGOTS on "Halo Live". These little rascals probably have parents who shout all the hateful bigotry hyped up by a McCain/Palin "moose hunt" rally. That ruins anyones experience.

My brother sold his 360 for a PS3 a long time ago. Halo 3 was gone the day he mulled through that mediocre single player campaign. He owned Halo 2 and never finished it from boredom. Don't think the same guys that were duped into buying it day 1 still have or play the game.

Anyway, this guy makes valid arguments. He has owned every game in the franchise. He seems to mostly hate the fanboyism that hides behind sales to justify the FLAWS. Now with the announcement of an expansion of Halo 3 that you will wait 1 year to play, what do you expect on day 1? Probably more of the same.

I honestly can't believe that last year I actually bought a 360 just for Halo 3.

Then I played Team Fortress 2 on PC... haven't looked at Halo 3 or COD4's online since.

The problem is that there is a vocal minority of that community that is obnoxious and rude to the others (AKA the racist 12 year old bastards). That spoils the experience for the ones that behave like civilized adults. There should be an intelligence test required to play a game like Halo. If you are as brain dead as half of the kids that play it, you should be booted immediately.

You can't stop annoying kids from being annoying but you can mute them, or I don't know, organize some games with your friends maybe? If you can't deal with it you might as well give up on online gaming.

I damn near have given up on it. There is something about my fragile ego that doesn't take well to being insulted by children barely out of diapers.

there are also obnoxious and rude to the others AKA the racist 12 year old bastards on psn too. to only single out halo because it's has more of a fanbase than other FPS is just hating. i have played warhark,RFoM,and MGO and trust me there have the same obnoxious and racist children on psn just as much as they have them in everyother online game. hell even MMO's have their racist player insulting people too. so please stop trying to single out halo like it's the only game. or better yet get some of these parents to do their job as parents.

I play WH quite a bit but don't run into near as many annoying 12 year olds. Maybe because i joined a clan and generally played with the same people but even the opponents in the intermissions never talked near as much bs as i hear after every halo match. Even in halo u can dominate someone and u still gotta hear how much u suck after the game. Gets very old. But i can't say much cuz i keep coming back for more of it. I've neber played MGO and only played a few matches of RFoM online so i can't speak of many experiences there.

Guess i've just made friends with a lot more mature ps3 gamers so it makes my experience there a lot better.

Kinda funny cause i have had Socom for one day, i have heard so much sh!t talking it isn't even funny. The sonyfanboys have a tendency to think that the precious PSN is nothing but adults and is very sible. But actually one of the main problems is the adults on PSN act like the xbox live 12 year olds.

listen to my boys and their pals playing Halo can see some of his points, but Xbox live full of prats unless its a locked game. PSN just as bad if not worse. Myself I prefer PC less twats online (get some, lot less than the consoles)Online with Steam is alot better in my opinion : )

To all the people out there hating on the hate...there's a place for opinion on N4G, let's not get all worked up like forum fanboys, huh?

Martyrdom is stupid.

people running around like idiots on suicide runs because kill/death ratio doesn't figure into your level (meaning it takes no skill to level up to prestige) unlike Halo

it's a more noob-friendly game therefore you end up playing against and with more noobs because it doesn't have a true-skill ranking like Halo

less maps, less game types, no forge, no vehicles, etc.

i don't play very many fps games except halo. this post is not an all encompassing perspective, but rather specific to that franchise.

dont comment unless you actually read the story, d0uche

Screenshots don't mean sh1t when the gameplay still sucks. Halo 3 has Resistance trumped on that front.
