Bungie's unparalleled successes with their Halo franchise continues to impress as over 2,500 teams vie for a chance to be recognized as the world's best Halo 3 players.Being one of the top players can sky rocket gamers into stardom with ever expanding media coverage, sponsorships, pro contracts and tournament prize money in the millions.
Following record sales, Halo 3 appears set to retain its role as the world's best and most comprehensive competitive online shooter against other juggernauts such as Call of Duty 4, Resistance: Fall of Man and Unreal Tournament 3. It is the most played online console shooter today, with close to 2 million unique matches played daily. See link for more information regarding Major League Gaming and the ongoing Gamebattles 2008 Halo 3 Pro Circuit Ladder.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
Halo 3 is beyond a doubt the best console shooter for online gaming, especially competitive gaming! I'm in this ladder - TEAM VAGISIL FTW!!! 2-0 as of last night!
I wonder if there are any other MLG fans that have teams here on N4G?
I wish i was in that tourney:(. I sold my 360 and halo3 to buy new studio monitors. I miss my BR:(
I wonder how long it will be before the floods of haters too blind to see that the game is played more than any other console online jump in and trash this thread. Yeah we know halo sucks and that is why so many people play it every day.
This should b pretty cool hope they put out a few live feeds so we can watch the action!
If your a member here you should throw up your teams name on the 360 forums so we know who to cheer for. :)
I don't see why so many people like Halo Online, and think it's great... Maybe it's just a matter of my personal opinion, but I've finally got online & I don't see anything special or that good about it. & quite frankly the match making aspect SUCKS... Give me CoD4, Resistance, or Unreal 3 over Halo any day... but again, maybe that's just a matter of opinion. All those who play Halo online are so used to, and addicted from Halo 2 that they don't want to venture beyond the franchise. I don't know...
