Halo 3: Who cares? - 5 Reasons We Should Not Care for Halo 3 -

GameDaily writes:
"Who cares?
With over 1.5 million preorders, an aggressive marketing campaign and plenty of hype, Halo 3 is just as important as Brunswick Bowling. Ok, that's not entirely true. We dug the beta, and playing through the single player campaign alongside three buddies can be a fun time, but we refuse to drink the Kool-Aid for the following reasons..."

[MK_Red]

The truth is that Halo fans will get H3 no matter what and non-Halo fans won't get Halo 3 no matter what.

Of all reasons, I believe the first one is no issue here since hopefully there is a superb and perfect ending this time around.

[cloud360]

No one cares about Halo 3:

Coz its an FPS

[crazyman]

Cloud, that was quite possibly the most stupid comment I have ever read.

How would being part of one of the most popular genres make a game unpopular.

[JsonHenry]

I have always felt Halo was over rated. But that doesn't mean the game is so bad that it is not a fun experience either.

Doesn't matter, the BEST FPS experience coming to the Xbox360 this year is going to be the Half-Life 2 Orange Box collection.

[Bonsai1214]

i'd like to see people actually review the game based on its quality (like game daily said) instead of giving it a 10 just because its halo, like i know many publications did

[reaferfore20]

I agree. Half Life has always felt more in-depth in their storytelling, and their multiplayer rocks my socks off. Who knows though, Halo 3 might blow the doors off of the first two. If it does I'll be very happy.

[Scrooge]

I just finished the Halo 2 campaign again last night for nostalgia's sake and for my own hype. It was a good story and had compelling gameplay, I don't see why anyone dogged on it. Can't wait for halo 3.

[lawman1108]

Worst. Article. Ever.

[N4Gworks4Sony]

only a sony fanboy would not want halo3 , i could understand if they were talking about halo2 cause im one of the only halo fans that thinks that the single player campaign was better in halo1 than in halo2 but man halo3 is looking sooooeeeeet!

[N4Gworks4Sony]

[Ri0tSquad]

I probaly wont play it until this xmas because its an fps and its like halo2 which wasn't on my favorite xbox game list.

[MikeGdaGod]

i trid them a few times but it never interested me. i'm not a big fan of FPS anyway.

when i bought me 360 people were shocked when i told them i didn't plan on playing Halo ever. i guess cus all the people i knew that really loved the game were SUPER nerds. kinda turned me off by association.

[Zhuk]

poorly written article that searches for even poorer reasons to hate on Halo.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

yep another load of bull, worst is that their Halo 2 review was premature.

[Bloodmask]

when I see articles posted like this. Spread the hate all you want. Halo 3 will sell millions of copies anyway come September 25.

The 360s will be flying off the shelves. No other release this year wil even come close to topping it.

[MrSwede]

I think you´re right. I never cared for the Halo games but I know it´ll be huge. Let´s not hope too many 360´s will brake playing it though.

Edit: WTF? I meant what I said, I wasn´t trying to piss anyone off. Halo will be a huge thing right? And there has been a discussion on another news topic about the fact that 360´s might overheat or at least chances will be higher while playing Halo 3 and I´m seriously hoping they won´t have that problem! I´m sorry for pissing people off, I guess I should´ve put it another way.

[InMyOpinion]

And let's hope PS3 owners don't have to spend too many nights lonely in a darkened room thinking about what they could have been playing if they had invested half of the money they spent on their console on a 360 instead ;)

I just had to, your comment was just as silly!

BTW, Johnny Holm är en jävla pajas!

[Vertius]

Yes, I definitely sense fear from some people about Halo 3's inevitable success. I see fear quite often in Xbot comments, so I know it when I see it.

[lawman1108]

Halo 3, Bio shock and Mass effect all ONLY on 360........oh and a price drop looks like good news for the 360.

[stunt213]

no other release? halo 3 will make 360 sales fly through the roof it might even beat wii for 2 straight months, but when MGS4 and FFXII comes out for ps3 thats the time ps3 is going to shine.

[Daishi]

I'd agree with you about the MGS, but not so much on FFXIII. I've got several friends that are going to be buying PS3's if MGS doesn't come to 360 (I'm not saying it is, just repeating what others tell me). I think too many people were disapointed by FFXII, and I personaly was too busy playing the remake of FFIII to play it.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Halo is just over hyped franchise. Half Life blows Halo out of the way Halo can't even start with Half Life. For Online I can play games like Counter Strike, Half Life Deathmatch with gravity gun. Battlefield and more.

Its just a normal FPS stop being fan boys. PC is the king of FPS not X360.

[Jeremy Gerard]

You say stop being fanboys, then you have the nerve to type "PC is the king of FPS not X360."

And for the record PC is king of nothing but idiots who pay 4 times as much to play the same games I play on a far bigger screen with far better sound on a far softer seat, for far less money.

3 grand to play Bioshock at the level I play for 279, and buy the time Alan Wake comes out your PC will be obsolete and you will need to spend another 600 bux on a video card to handle it, you PC dudes are brain dead!

[jay3]

That's why Halo 1 and 2 are on PC :D

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

PC
More games and variety
better graphics
better controls
better and free online
better reliablity
Games cheaper
Free Mods
User created content
and more stuff then X360.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Story; In Halo 1 you destroy the Halo stop making up stuff and make a lame story like Halo 2.

Online; Pay to play online. Nothing innotive just medicore over done online. Skins make online even more lame due to lack of stealth.

Atmosphere is just a laugh.

AI is not so good imo.

Enemies get boring.

Slow online play compared to UT

Shallow Characters

Nothing new in FPS

[Guitarded]

HL2 is one of the most boring pieces of crap I ever played. Talk about a stupid ending. What was that crap? Please Halo is fun to play, HL2 isn't nearly so much fun. It is pretty and somewhat interesting, but the fun factor is way low IMO.

[lawman1108]

For FPS but to get them to run on the pc with the cards and Mem that you need it is just too much money. I like the fact you just put the disc in the 360 and it runs. It's funny that the only good game on the PS3 is fall of man.

[ArmrdChaos]

MS would patch to include keyboard/mouse support through USB for the 360. I know there are PROs out there that are just as good on a controller but I prefer to go with what I am used to...keyboard/mouse all the way.

[FirstknighT]

Halo is the king of console FPS and their is nothing that any game can do about it. Halo 2 is the reason why online gaming is so big. The multiplayer maps with the science fiction touch are the best maps on any FPS (Lockout anyone?) Not just another FPS with war torn streets. First game to smoothly go to first person view to third person view when entering a vehicle. One of the very few games that have BOTH incredible story and incredible multiplayer. You have the best metals that make it so much fun...Double kill, Triple Kill, Killtacular, Kiltrocity, Killamanjero, Killionaire, etc... One of the best games for tactical gaming, and not just another fragfest. I can go on and on about the pros of Halo..
There are 3 types of FPS...

1. War shooters: Call of Duty, Metal of Honor, Killzone, Resistance, Counterstrike, etc...

2. Close combat in hallways: Bioshock, Quake, Unreal, Prey, Fear, Doom, etc...

3. And Halo

All the hating on this site will not stop the Halo juggernaut from destroying anything that the ps3 will offer for years to come.

*EDIT*
People that diss Halo never give any reasons...just Halo sux! State your reasons.

Allaroundgamer...your post is full of denial.

And for those tools that think Halo 2 was crappy...

http://gamerankings.com/htm...

[FirstknighT]

I have also played the PC version of Halo and it wasn't the same as the console version. Let me tell you I used to be a rabid PC shooter player. I started with Counterstrike - Wolfenstein - Battlefield 1942- Soldier of Fortune - Blackhawk Down - Unreal 2004. I played Unreal 2004 to death. Loved the game. I remember my excitement when I first got a Holy Sh*t Kill. (Unreal players know what I'm talking about) Well anyway, I used to bash on console shooters because I was a PC guy. The first time I tried Halo 2 online I was seriously hooked. The best online experience ever. Nothing really comes close. Not even Unreal 2004.

[immortal_cries]

Since you asked. I was going to keep quiet though. Just as you say we cant list reasons why its not great (which we can, and we will), Id say the same. All i hear is Halo is sooo damn great. Thats it. Ill give you my reasons why I dont like it as long as you give me reasons why You love it. Fair?

1. Story. Eh, good concept but there is no real depth. Depth makes or breaks a game in my eyes. 2 games in and im wondering what is the deal with everything. Like those little pink midgits. What are they, where did they come from. Do they have any connection to the other strange purple and red guys? lol. They are funny though, ill give you that. Oh, and where is the replay value? Its been a while, but I dont remember having any good reason to replay it, ever.

2. If you couldnt tell, I have a problem with the color scheme. Pinks and purples can be good, but why couldnt they tone the colors down. It was like candyland all over again. Graphics went bad realy, but the color made it feel so much less serious.

3. Online wasnt that bad, but being a fan of single stories, this doesnt much matter to me. Unreal Tournament, now... dont ask me why, but thats the only online FPS I enjoy.

4. People say its so original. Huh? Its the first FPS i ever played, but not the first ive seen. What did it reinvent? Maybe I missed it (im only being partly sarcastic). Theres alot of new and interesting concepts in Haze... what concept is halo3 bringing that hasnt been seen before?

Its mediocre in my eyes. Nothing to adore, by far. My only animosity towards Halo is the way people talk it up, but I cant find any validity. Like defending a fat mama joke when your mama is fat. I dont mean to talk ****, but what am I seriously missing? Theres my half.

[reaferfore20]

aaaahahahahaahahaahhaahahah

[soccerluv]

I know what you mean. The color palette is way to colorful. I mean what is up with all this sci-fi stuff that has to be so colorful? Movies too. That is why I only like black and white movies. I get tired of all these pastel colored sci fi flicks.

Guess thats why I like Killzone and Resistance. Pretty close to a black and white flick as I can get.

Classics baby!

[GnaM]

I like Halo, but I don't think it's the best ever. The plot is more involved than many FPS, but that's not saying much. Once the covenant all starting speaking English in Halo 2, things started getting way too campy, like Star Wars Episodes 1-3.

Gameplay-wise, I think what Halo does best is offer a combat system that's relatively complex and deep while still being slow paced enough that n00bs can pick it up and do well. However, it's not really as refined as it could be; Halo 1 had huge balance and weapon design issues, and in an effort to fix that in Halo 2 they dumbed down the game too much and create more ever worse balance issues. It's like with Halo 2 they went from the FPS equivalent of Soul Calibur to the FPS equivalent of DOA.

In the campaign, the AI had never really been as good as it could be, and makes easily fixable stupid mistakes (I know because I've fixed them myself in mods). I tends to feel like the AI actually got dumber in Halo 2, and the mission designs got more mediocre...sure the game was playable, but not really replayable. Whereas all of Halo 1 other than the Library is pretty fun to replay again and again, in Halo 2 I find I only the first level, Outskirts, Delta Halo, and maybe one other level.

All in all, I expect Halo 3 to be pretty fun (plan on buying it with a 360 as soon as I have the spare cash), and it will probably be one of the best shooters on 360 for a while next to Bioshock, but I think most of the people who really think Halo is the total be-all-end-all of FPS just haven't played enough FPS (particularly PC FPS) and thus are easily impressed.

[AllroundGamer]

MS overhyped this game/franchise like nothing else, and the sheep jumped in... the reasonable people, that played also different fps games on other platforms will see HALO just as a mediocre game... truth hurts, so please fanboys hit the disagree button if you are hurt inside.

Edit: DARK WITNESS - like mine Heavenly Sword?? :D i would say myself after playing the demo, that it will be a mediocre hacknslasher (it just couldn't reach the quality of God of War). Your comment is just showing the typical signs of an angry fanboy. I'm playing Metroid Prime 3 now on the Wii, and it's way better than any HALO. Also i would say, that Bioshock is better then HALO too. Sorry, but after playing the first two Halos i'm not really interested in the third part. The first was probably the best one, but just because it was new, then the recycling procedure began, and it went down the toilet...

Edit 2: well good to see, that even if you are a fanboy, you are able to post normal comments and not calling me names like the other fanboys, that need to add some IQ points on their next level up ;)

[DARK WITNESS]

like your Heavenly sword was way over hyped and just another mediocre hack and slash.

do you really think we haven't played all those other mediocre shooters that you lot keep saying is way better...

please.

Edit to your reply;

well thanks for a more sensible reply. yes i am a fanboy when it comes to halo i will admit that now. Your first post didn't do anything to make me think anyting less of you, so you got the appropreate reply. i didn't hit disagree though, i will always prefer to give my reasons. you talk about other fps games on other platforms, well name them and explain why. you see thats the problem, people keep saying that and never giving a reason or example.

i also have a ps3 and a psp. i do agree with you about halo 2 not being as good, although for different reasons. yes it does get up my nose when people keep going on about how average halo is and it does nothing new, when all the other fps games are just as average.

i have played them all, because people keep saying they are better, but then end up disappointed. i would agree bioshock is better then halo 2 single player, but i still hold halo 1 above it. we all have different reasons for liking or not liking it.

the fact that so many people still play halo, even though there are so many other fps games on the 360 shows that it is a great game. how many other fps games have gone down hill after there first installment loads. as you say though, i am an angry fan, cos i am tired of hearing people talk crap, when there is nothing else out there to compare.

i am a halo fan, i would say the same thing if it was on the ps3 or the wii. a great game is a great game, i understand it if its not for everyone, but when people give it average and say it does nothing new, then quote loads of other fps games that are just as average and do even less. it does get my back up.

you can give me 1000 reasons why i should not get it, i only need one reason to get it.

no matter how mediocre you say it is, it only shows how low in quality all the others are.... below average trying to always beat the top dog and claiming they can do better, then falling flat.

[InMyOpinion]

Overhype = Lair.

[Madmax1281980]

if halo is such a mediocre franchise well then why is it that every game out there wants to beat it? just curious.

[IQUITN4G]

What a bunch of sh!te you just wrote.

Halo's averages at above the 9 mark so clearly it's doing a ton of stuff right in the eyes of all that have reviewed it.

Thank the lord you don't work in the games business.

[reaperxciv]

= over hyped

oh sorry, what i meant was halo3 is over hyped.

i don't want to hurt some peoples feelings

[jay3]

No man, the Halo games are great. You see it as mediocre because every FPS made after it has copied it. Halo is a great franchise theres no point trying to deny that. I do think they're totally overhyping it though. Game fuel? Come on!

[DARK WITNESS]

good point, bubble for you.

[chrno]

hmm I disagree, halo is great, but halo 2 is just plain boring. Halo 2 single player is just not fun...

[RINGOFDEATH]

half of the owners will see the Red Ring of Death again,good thing the 1st xbox never had this issue,this time around microsoft will lose more money...What good is a game when your hardware breaks on you...Think about it .

[soccerluv]

Is that all you have got?

The only time I played my PS3, was when my 360 was in the shop. Now that it is back, there is a whole lot of lovin' goin on.

Dont worry, I will not bash too much. I am still waiting b3yond. Keep your panties on, cause I will keep my PS3. There still are a lot of great games coming.

Best of both worlds.

[FreedomReign]

Any issues a console may have, from DRE, to RROD, do NOT affect the quality of a great game.

Super Mario Bros. was great inspite of NES issues
Resident Evil was great inspite of PS1 issues
GTA III, VC, SA were great inspite of PS2 issues
etc.

Can't comment on Halo 3, as I haven't played it yet.
FUD thy friend is fanboy.

[reaperxciv]

LAME!

[Booneral]

1-Blindness
2-Not knowing video games, haven't played Halo before
3-Being a Fanboy
4-FPS games make you dizzy
5-If not all of the above, being an idiot (jk)

There you go, people who qualify for atleast one of those, are eligable for "not caring about halo 3 wave"

[InMyOpinion]

True indeed. The only persons who get dizzy from playing a FPS are the ones who have never done it before. And if you don't have more FPS experience than that you're better off shutting the hell up! =)

[DethWish]

If you think Halo is the best FPS ever, you can't have much FPS experience either :p

[Fux4Bux]

Yeah I think exactly the same thing. Halo:Ce is prettymuch my favorite game of all time. Played the campaign probably over 100 times of some levels and LAN parties for 3 years. I absolutely despise Halo2. Ruined the story and the campaign sucked anyways. The multiplayer lost most of the unique subtleties that made the first so amazing and was generally dumbed down and made easier to play. Halo3 I hope to god the redeem the campaign somewhat and the multiplayer not be a power weapon based crapfest. But I have little hope.

[Frances-the-Mute]

i dont care, but those who do care about halo, dont care what i think

[AllroundGamer]

lol nicely said :D

[immortal_cries]

Your totally right, but it just doesnt stop us from saying so. Lol.

[RINGOFDEATH]

I played both of these games and Unreal Tournament 2004 was more fun and graphics was better.

[RINGOFDEATH]

A must buy game.

[Jeremy Gerard]

Haze is just another first person shooter so far, you only say it is good and Halo bad because you are a fanboy, it's that simple, you like Haze because it's on PS3, you know dam well you have no better reason than that LOL.

[Taker_129]

4 million people care. Halo 3 will most likely break many sales records but i really don't think it will move as many consoles as people believe it will. But Halo will be the most successful game on the 360 no doubt

[DethWish]

I don't think 4 million is enough to break many records

[Taker_129]

that 4 million pre-orders, and it has already broken that record

[Salvadore]

I like the Halo franchise and no matter what articles like these say, I will still buy the game.

[Geewhizz]

I am not a fan of the halo series for many reasons, but for a hell of a lot of people this is the biggest release of the year (or decade!). Now, while I, personally am sick to death of reading about halo3, it will be massive and I think now that people should stop raining on it's parade and let the fans enjoy it. I cant wait for the release so that I dont have to read about it, but, that is just my opinion and I hope it is as good as the hype has been building.

[soccerluv]

Bubble for you and a big agree.

[Nameless]

Sonians are rainin on Halo 3s parade because they are jealous that the PS3 has no game that can compete with Halo. The PS3 does have games coming out that will help sell the PS3 yes I can admit that but none will be as big as Halo 3.

[Geewhizz]

I disagree. I am pro Sony, but am also PRO GAMES and am not jealous. Halo just never grabbed me, (yes I completed both). However, if this was a ps3 exclusive I would bet a lot of the haters would be loving this game. Now, this is just wrong and it saddens me that this generation of console wars has degenerated into such childlike behaviour. I hope it is a great game for the masses who have been waiting, but, I still dont think it will sell loads of consoles as, IMO, most of the people waiting for halo3 already own a 360.

[plexdk]

Sorry to say it guys... Halo has never catched me. To me its just "yet-another-alien-shoote r" without a soul.. I guess you could say im from the oldschool pc shooter generation. With that said, me and my friends could name several other shooters which are far more interesting...

But then again, seems like this generation only cares about graphics..

[DethWish]

I agree to some extent..

Can't for example say Rock Band is all about graphics :P
I think that will be the most awesome game of this year

[Bolts]

If you're used to PC shooters then there isn't any impressive about Halo 2. By the time Halo 2 was released PC gamers have been there and done that a zillion times over all the while enjoying better technology like say, dedicated servers since Quake 1.

[DethWish]

What a flamebait :P
Still I somewhat agree since I think Halo is good, but nothing special

[Frances-the-Mute]

i wonder if halo wars will get this much attention

[gEnKiE]

Probably not. You have to actually think to play an RTS....

[JokesOnYou]

its funny cause the haters talk shiii, yet Halo2 is still being played and enjoyed by millions of gamers, while most other games have a short life cycle, ha ha well obviously Halo will NOT end up like Lair, this is a proven franchise with a top notch dev team named Bungie behind it. I mean seriously lets forget about sales because unless you've been in a coma for the last few years only the most delusional sonykid known to man would say it wont be a commercial success= so really the only thing thats debatable at this point is "how good will Halo3 be?"

from what I've seen and heard (beta was fun as hell, 4 player campaign Co-op, new weapons, new vehicles, Forge map editor, amazing graphics, replay and watch from all angles, online video file sharing, the mystery about Finishing the Fight and many, many other surprises not revealed yet, there is just so much more going on with Halo3, Bungie said they would make Halo3 the most Epic experience of them all, these are the same guys who made Halo 1 & 2 on xbox hardware, now that same talent group has been working with the best next gen gaming platform over the last 2 yrs, lets just say the overwelming majority of Halo fans, FPS fans, gamers will no doubt enjoy the game alot= Halo3 will be successful in most people eyes, of course I understand not everyone is a biased if they dont like Halo but its obvious most sonykids just hate it simply because its so popular= jealousy ha ha too bad, it sucks to be you=

JOY

[Ri0tSquad]

tho the full game should be better

[Cornstalker]

will sale, but it will be the same as the last 2 games. Wierd little aliens and stuff. The average age of this game has to be 12 to 14. Not hating on it but the online is not going to be as cool as a Warhawk, not as gritty as Gears not as diverse as Socom CA with all the different objectives and weapon combos, not as real as GRAW2 and not as interesting as bioshock. This game will sale that's it the hype will end 3wks after launch. Then it will be Mass Effect Hype, FFXIII, and MGS hype. The wheel will keep spinning.

[Real gamer 4 life]

Halo is alright but it isnt anything to special, i think Call of duty 4 and Unreal tournament is the game that should be getting all the hype.

[Real gamer 4 life]

personally i think gears of war is better

[kewlkat007]

they been there and done that with PC FPS games, but that's OK besides Goldeneye007, what other Console FPS, that has been somewhat successful as the Halo franchise?

Hey I use to be that rare breed of PC/Console gamer, but now I do more console gaming. I understand where PC gamers are coming from but lets leave Halo as a Console FPS and look at it form that perspective.

NO!!, a Console FPS will never be as breathtaking as a PC one. So that will never be a reason why most people won't pickup a Console FPS game. There are other games with somewhat better gameplay but the halo series is much more than graphics. I actually like the story and the online play is quite fun.

NO!!, you can't just assume everyone waiting for Halo 3 already have a 360. Since the 360 has not matched the original Xbox in units soled, I think there are many players out there waiting to purchase a 360, that could not afford it before. Since I think, halo 3 will be a good game, who knows, who it might persuade gamers from all creeds , to buy the xbox 360 console, not just for the campaign but morso the multi-player.

So basically if your a PC gamer that just don't console game much then stay away from FPS's on Consoles, as you will enjoy others with a super computer rig doing 120FPS at the best graphics available. If your a Console gamer that can't get into Halo then your just not a FPS gamer, because there haven't been another great FPS game on Consoles that is quite fun, like Goldeneye007 used to be. Actually perfect dark on the 64 was underrated.

If your a console FPS lover, I see no reason not to get into the Halo series, unless your some super loyal fanboy. Well you might have other reason too but the game play is fun, simple as that.

Anyhow this Article did get approved, hopefully nobody cries foul when others like this, come out about other Console FPS. Stay tuned..

[gEnKiE]

Yes, exactly. Who cares? I don't...I'd rather play Half-Life 2 or Unreal any day. I never got into Halo. To me, the game play was too slow and I found myself getting bored playing it. Even at lan parties I would want to quit and go play Battlefield or something and I wasn't the only one. I never got into Halo and probably never will.

[The Chief of Mjolnir]

Then...what are you doing here? If you´re so sick of Halo, don´t go to the news.

That´s for all of you who doesn´t like Halo: You don´t have to be here. No one is threating you to death if you don´t post something about Halo.

[fredy]

Don't you recognize a "troller" when you see one..

trollolong pls..

[dukegodtezza]

stress relief

[BIadestarX]

You know when Sony fanboys are desperate when they spend their time trying to convince people to NOT buy an xbox 360 game... instead of trying to convince people why they should buy a PS3.

Some people went nutz over Resistance and it was nothing compared to Halo 3... other went nutz over Lair that is getting bad reviews... other are waiting for Kill Zone 2... who are these peopel to tell other NOT to get one of the most anticipated games ever made? Which as far as we know will bring new experiences to the multiplayer arena... name another game where you can play with huge vehicles like the elephant on a multiplayer game... Yeah... I though so.

[SofaKingReetodded]

but you knew that right?? lol

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Don't forget Battlefield. Winner of Online gaming.

FAILED at life xbot.

[Cornstalker]

raggin again? better wear more protection, like thicker pads or something

[BIadestarX]

Poor Sony fanboys.. they can never give a convincing reply... the only thing they can do is try to launch personal attacks or avoid the questions.

"It's called Unreal Tournament"! ahhh... ok.. show us link where you allowed to control/drive behicles as big as the elephant on Halo 3. By the way will UT even have 4 player co-op? What's the story line about?
mmm... I though I heard this game will also be on the xbox 360... mmm...

"Don't forget Battlefield. Winner of Online gaming." I own every single Battle Field game ever made and I can't wait for future iterations. I don't know what your experience is... but BF does not let you control behicles as big as the elephant in Halo 3.

[PS360PCROCKS]

"With that being said, we regret awarding the game a perfect ten, especially after dissecting the single player campaign a second and third time. We plan to avoid the hype this time around, and deliver a review that reflects the quality of the product."

STFU! So after you decided to be little b!tches and go back and nitpick everything about Halo 2 you persuaded yourself it wasn't as good? Seriously? That was the dumbest comment ever made.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Xbot keeps attacking PS3 fans for Halo then again PC gamers are against Halo too :P

Edit: Jokes on you everyone knows you are an xbot and everything you say is actually false/wrong. Also I will not be recieving copy of Halo 3. Never. I am happy getting Eternal Sonata for X360. I'll be busy playing Crysis and after Crysis Enemy Terrioty: Quake Wars with a mix of UT3.

Also to i rule. Can you kindly explain how did Halo defined future of FPS like star wars did to movies?

[JokesOnYou]

downplay Halo because just like sonykids they are threatened by its success, they talk about how great PC gaming is but reality is console games software sales overshadow PC games, for example almost everyone saying "Halo isnt that great" are known sonykids, obviously the ones who love it the most are 360 fans, nothing new but even neutral gamers respect what Halo has done, they might not think its the greatest ever but I bet they also want to play Halo3 because no matter what you say most normal gamers know it will be alot more fun than most other games = ha ha pssss dont get caught by the spg police when you get your copy=

JOY

[brianunfried]

I love FPS style games, but I could never get into Halo because it lacks style. Everthing in the game seems generic. The artistic design of the game to me is just boring generic sci-fi. Also the enemies are more goofy and silly than scary or threatening. Halo has great gameplay, but other than that I don't see why so many people are into it. I would rather play something like Bioshock or Darkwatch.

[QuietMan69]

You said it you knucklehead GREAT GAME PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[i rule]

dont like it because they cant play it. It did for shooters what star wars did for movies, and most trolls are filled with envy.

8 Reasons You Should Not Care for Halo 3:

1. You don't want to be a part of the biggest video game release in console history.
2. You don't have any friends to play 4 player co-op with.
3. You are afraid of of getting pwned.
4. You are scared of guns & shooters in general, prefering JRPGs.
5. You want to play next gen games when Sony says you can.
6. You'd rather play LAIR.
7. You are waiting for Killzone 2 @30 FPS & 720p.
8. Your name is nasim & your pathetic life as is a 'cartoon'.

[darkequitus]

the words right out of my mouth.

A lot of people (and 360 people) are affraid of the 25th. It must seem like the end of the world for them. Like death. It is coming and you can't do a damn thing about it.
It would be much easier if they stop being fanboys and just enjoy gaming.

LOL. Bubble for you.

[i Shank u]

sucks reading dumba$$ comments from people who didnt play the halo3 beta and assume that halo 3 will be just like halo 2. alot of haters will have to eat their sh!t later this month

[ironwolf]

Halo's not my cup of tea, but I believe it's certainly THE game event of the year.

Reading through the posts you can also tell that the Sony hos are frightened of the specter of increased sales. In fact I would have to say that between Bioshock's high ratings, Lair's low ratings, and the incredible pre-sale numbers for Halo, the Sony hos have had the fear of god put into them. That is why they squawk like a flock of chickens with a dog in their pen.

[AcidRhain]

lame... halo bash so your queer site gets more hits.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

I have a feeling that after H3 is released, there are going to be many early haters AKA d'bags that go back on their word saying that H3 is an awesome experience.

I'm not even going to argue. Just wait for the 25th. You turds are gonna feel dumb.

It's a great series. It's NOT overrated. There are many great FPS's coming to the 360, but this one will 1up them all with it's awesome gameplay.

[Xbox is the BEST]

level designs weren't as good as Halo 1.

[fredy]

but this is about HALO 3...GET IT?

nothing good to say..move along..

[soccerluv]

Wow, since all of the Bioshock and Halo 3 news news has come out, this site has really been overun by PC gamers.

[Takanohana]

TOP 5 reasons you should not care about Halo 3.

1 . Its on the the crapbox180, which mean it will suk.

2. Its american made, which mean its crappy.

3. Its an FPS. If you want a real FPS buy Resitance orwait for KZ2

4. Its on DVD, which mean the game is so small you'll be done in less then 2 hours

5. Halo is for retard.

[soccerluv]

あんた日本人じゃないよね。

[giovonni]

So I guess a fan base of over a million people are retards? Wow,

People like you have forgotten that halo has changed the face of gaming. When halo first came out there was no console that offered what halo offered . The A.I was outstanding... Don't believe me. Watch what the little long noised penguin dudes do when you over power them, Shoot and kill the captain when you see him and see what happens. The allies and enemies had something that no game had when it was out ... Legit believeable A.I. The story line was great and the controls where great. The reason why two wasn't that great was it didn't offer anything new. After the few missions on earth it felt like I was running through revampted levels of halo one. This repetative feel made the game old very quick, not just that but the switching from the Master C. to the Alien wasn't a good addition to the game. Fact of the matter is, everyone should play Halo. Its a shame Die hard fans spoil the experiance

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

[zonetrooper5]

Well Halo 3 is suppose to be quite long and big in scale and it fits on a DVD. :)

I'm getting the collectors edition of Halo 3 from play.com which should be awesome. Halo is Halo and I can't wait to play it on my 360. Also PC games do generally beat the living crap out of the PS3 and 360, sorry console fans but PC's are much better. :P

[Geewhizz]

Totally disagree. On paper yes, pc owns but,....Show me a racer that looks as good as gt5, a shooter that looks as good as killzone2, a rpg that looks as good as mass effect. What sort of rig would you need to run uncharted? A pc SHOULD own every console game but this gen I dont think it will happen unless pcs drop their lowest spec policy and alienate(spelling??), the poorer gamers

[darkequitus]

For £2000 it should be better than the consoles in terms of performance. The problem is not everyone can spend that on a PC. Therefore the experience is not the same for everyone.

FOr what the console give you for the price, they canot be beaten.

PC/PSWii60 gamer

[fredy]

I disagree...

seriously, you have to look at the game genre's that are being pushed on each platform.

trust me, if there was to be a GT5 on the PC, I gauruntee you it would look better than any console version.

Show me any platform(mario..etc) game that have been better on the PC as opposed to console platformer?

now show me a FPS that will look better than Crysis on the pc, and don't pull that KZ2 crap, cause its not going to happen. Millions is being spent on KZ2 so it is not a flop or at least look close to that CGI they lied about. Not very game will get the same budget/support.

pc developers push certain Genre's to the max. with FPS and RTS's PC platform is king. given a year or 2, Consoles won't be able to touch what a PC game will be able to do, with the outdated graphic cards. Even in ten years, if you wanna talk about the PS3.

Consoles will always have GPU/RAM limitations, and will not be able to keep up with Moores Law on the CPU end. that's fact

[MoonDust]

Didn't see that coming. Hating on Halo 3? Never been herd of.

[Geewhizz]

I think that Halo3 generates two extremes of fans. The sony fanboys who will just talk utter nonsense about the game, and the xbox fanboys who hail it as the second coming of the messiah. I believe it is actually somewhere in between. I think most genuine gamers would admit that the story isnt the strongest, the graphics or sound are not the greatest either, so single player becomes a fairly standard experience. HOWEVER, it really comes into its own in the multiplayer experience. I have said before, I am pro Sony, but that doesnt make me anti microsoft and like it or not sony have been searching for an answer to halo2 multiplayer for years. The ironic thing is, as soon as they might of done it (with warhawk), it looks like bungie will raise the bar yet again with the release of halo3. In particular I really like the idea of the recording mode (sorry, I dont know the proper term). Halo3 will be massive and anyone who says otherwise is making themselves looks stupid. Will it be the best? Time will tell but I for one, am all for bungie raising the bar yet again as it will push ALL games to be better.

[The Chief of Mjolnir]

what is theirs of killzone 2, Most of the complaints seem to be about halo 2 none are actually about halo 3.

[zonetrooper5]

You don't need to spend £2000 pound to get great graphics, you can upgrade your computer for quite cheap and get great results, its just a matter of knowing the hardware and prices. You can build a £800 to £1000 computer which will look much better than the consoles.

I do love consoles and its nice to just relax and put the disc in without installing it but PC's do out perform consoles by alot, thats a fact and its always been like that. Consoles are great value for what they do.

[Geewhizz]

so post me a link to a racer that looks better than gt5 or rpg better than mass effect. Will acknowledge crysis as the ONE game I have seen, but even that doesnt drop on kz2 from a great height.

[MattFoley]

this article was lame. If you don't like a game have some better reasons. for the people who said Half life has a better story and single player I'd have say that they are about equal to me but being able to pick random stuff up and throw is really cool. they take far to long to develop the half life series and the console never has multiplayer. Other then that Half Life and Halo are my favorite FPS of all time. Bioshock was ok but the story was way to short.

[power of Green]

That doesn't even make any sense the Halo fanbase picks up non Halo gamers thats why the base is so big. lol

I wish your Sony fanboy ass would stop posting 360 news I remember when you were one of the worse Sony fanboys on this site you have learned to sweet talk people. lol

Halo's base will grow much bigger just on the vehicle redesign gamplay(like two different games in one package)& co-op.

[texism]

See, the only reason Halo is so popular was because it became the first FPS to really capitalize controls on the XBOX. That was the revolution. That's why it was great. It had nothing new really. We had done vehicles in shooters before (Perfect Dark on the N64). It's only because it really nailed the shooter part on XBOX that it became so great.

After that, other shooters began using the Halo blueprints and they have gotten a HECK of a lot better than Halo. That's why Halo 2 "sucked" so much. It's because it never had anything original to offer in the first place. Virtually ALL YOU DO in Halo is shoot stuff...or protect stuff...by shooting stuff...or ride vehicles...to shoot stuff...see? Nothing! But why did it get so much hype? Because of the first Halo, and the bandwagon effect. It was new and revolutionizing then. Halo 2 was an ok game ('cept multi of course), but it wasn't even close to living up to the Hype.

Judging from what I've seen lately, Halo 3 will be just about the same thing. Maybe a little bit better than Halo 2, but it might suffer a lot from over hype.

[giovonni]

When halo first came out there was no console that offered what halo offered . The A.I was outstanding... Don't believe me. Watch what the little long noised penguin dudes do when you over power them, Shoot and kill the captain when you see him and see what happens.

people keep saying sony fans are scared... I don't get it can someone explain to me what they are supposed to be scared off? Is an xbox gonna come to their house and explode? Please explain...

[PimpHandHappy]

warhawk will be more fun then Halo. It wont sell like halo but atleast i wont see a Warhawk on a burger king cup!

Im sure the game will be great! More of the same with a spit shine

peace

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

I think you mean an Ice-Platinum blingtastic finish

[texism]

nope. spit shine. He means spit shine.

[Dr Pepper]

Well, I'm willing to bet that they won't give Halo 3 a 10/10 no matter what (judging by the fact that they wrote this article).

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Yea they seem to really not want Halo 3 to be perfect, just so they don't look biased or something.

I don't get their point though, just because H2's single player was mediocre they're thinking that H3's will suck balls? No way jose.

MP getting stale? Judging by the amount of people that still play it, and how popular the beta was, plus all the new features, vehicles and weapons. I think this MP experience will totally melt your face.

I smell fear in the comments.

[PimpNick_1980]

Sure if you want to say halo sucks then thats your deal, I'm just happy that I won't have to worry about running into your a$$ while I'm online. Buy the way PS3 fanboys sucXXX, it's almost as bad as when the Sega CD failed.

[Hugh Hefner]

Lame reasons, lame news, same old lame Mk_Red

[i rule]

that all ps3 fans are about to sh1t a brick over this game. dont be scared because the halo train is rolling through. just get the fuvk out of the way, and wait for good games. sony fans are the biggest waste of brain cells around.

[jax07]

Halo 3 will severly limit the success of any other 360 title that releases during the same month or even a few months after?

[texism]

omg hax!

[Rhezin]

who cares? uhhh over 10 million people thats who care.

[texism]

WTF is up with you STUPID, DUMB fanboys? Why are you saying fanboy A is afraid of Halo 3 or Fanboy B is afraid of Killzone 2? What the hell? Video Games? Dont you have something better to concentrate on? I'm all for brand loyalty and all that; it's a human instinct for us to want our side to win. But COME ON! We are taking this sh!t a little too far. Seriously, some of the comments I read here are pretty disturbing.

To Sony fanboys: SONY makes the money, NOT YOU. You don't get any cuts. They sell their sh!t to you and you buy it with YOUR money. They made a 700 dollar toaster-oven and you bought it: they became richer, you became poorer! They brutally raped your wallet's ass and never even cared to clean up. They will take a rhino-sized dump in a box and sell if to you if it'll make them money. My GOD!

To MS fanboys: Same thing. MS is already raping you with RRODs. MS does not give a fuk about the fact that you defended them in a 300 page post. MS will put the Ebola Virus in your XBOX, and then just ignore you when you're bleeding out of your ass - like the RRODs. Then they'd be like "We'll give you ANOTHER one." So shut the hell up. Yes, so the 360 is the supahmegahaxxomgsoperfect console. So what? Are you richer than Bill Gates now?

To Nintendo fanboys: Really hard to say anything to Wii fans because they seem to be the most sane. You don't see a lot of Nintendo fans claiming to be the bestes-err console evah. Same thing still applies. Nintendo will shove you full of candy until you explode and they wont care.

Halo 3 will be succesfull(or not, whatever). So what? Why should the PS3 fan be afraid? He'll keep his money and buy USEFUL sh!t. You wont.

So yeah, STFU fanboys. STFU PLEASE!

[BIadestarX]

errr... didn't your therapist tell you that when you start hearing voices to take a deep breath and count to 10?

1 - Relax close your eyes.
2 - Relax Open left eye.
3 - Relax Open Right eye.
4 - .... wait 1 second and count 5.
5 - Remember to breath.
6 - try remembering your are up to 6.
7 - Is the time you must take your anti depressant pill.
8 - How old you were when you were adopted.
9 - Is how old you are.
10 - If you are still angry and your are shaking start again from 1.

What are you a Atari 2600 fanboy? Relax.. this is a game site. Don't take things so serious... to many of us this is just a game site... people come here to watch news... and to flame each other... they want to flame each other.. otherwise they would be going to a news site where posting is not allowed. People want to give their opinion about the games or consoles... well that's what opinions are all about.. not everyone will agree with what you like.. or your favorite game or console. Fanboys, console wars always existed and will never go away... think of it as the underground battle zone where people come to fight with words... I personally enjoy it. Heck... I laugh my @$$ off when some sony fanboys gets a hemorrhoid because of one of my comments. This is predictable from this site. As long as people don't jump into Racist, hate comments... it's all good... flame microsoft, sony or nintendo! flame the xbox 360, the ps3 and the wii... flame them all.. to me it's all entertainment... interactive drama!

Do you think it's coincidence that the most controversial articles are the ones that get more comments? If it's an article everyone agree on... no one cares... go on try... post an article about how great gaming is.... and then post an article about Metal Gear being exclusive to the wii... ahhhh haha.

Just relax.

man, it takes guts to try and tell people truth in these forums. Guess that's how the industry has us pinned as low life anti-social gaming nerds. As long as we continue to lash tongue and gnaw bone for stupid things like Halo3 success/failure, we won't realize that it's realy up the gamer. Don't wanna see Halo3 succeed? Then don't be one of the ones to buy it! Don't like the 360 because it's this and that? Well, then buy wii or ps3.

[texism]

Hahahaha talk about Irony. You're telling me not to take things so seriously and to relax, yet you can't even see that my post was supposed to be funny. That's pretty funny. Heck, it even proves my point somewhat.

[Daxx]

I love Halo for what it is, a fun and entertaining game. I consider to have much more fun playing it than any other game that I have played before. Reasons being, It's easy to learn but hard to master, it's a game that my friends and I play religiously and have so many good times playing it, and it has so much replayablity, Halo 3 is going to infinite replayability.

I play Halo, Halo 2, and soon will be playing Halo 3 for the same reason I play Super Smash Bros Melee, UT2004, BF2, and Tim Schafer's Psychonauts because those games are fun to me.

[DJ]

for PC?

[MoonDust]

I don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars for Live on 360 when I can just get Live on PC for free. I think for that money I can just get a new GPU and not worry about faulty hardware; my PC hasn't died on me yet.

[DARK WITNESS]

ok, i have not done a lot of pc fps playing, i will leave that side alone...but here is the thing...

what game at the time allowed you to set of a group of nades on the floor with a single nade or rocket. i mean sticking a grunt with a nade, watch him run into a group and then set off all the nades that they are carrying, killing them all. you wouldn't see it, just hear the multiple nades go off, then hear the sound of them screaming..." Wahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa "

come on, i still can't think of anything thats given me that much fun for a long time !

most fps games, you shoot them they drop, you throw a nade...they drop..wtf... thats what you call average, generic !

its not for everyone i agree, but thats the kind of thing that has kept us on the hype and thats what we are looking forward to in halo 3.

so simple, yet so much fun.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I didn't play Halo or Halo 2 until after I got my Xbox 360 (I had GameCube last gen). I thought that they were both great, but they didn't leave an impression on me like I'm sure they would have if I had played them when they were new.

Nevertheless, I'm still hyped up for Halo 3. I am looking forward to seeing what the franchise can do on a next gen system. However, I believe that it is the four player co-op that will make this game memorable.

Of course, the one game that I've looked forward to the most since the start of this gen is Resident Evil 5, but that is still a long way off.

[firefly00]

boring as hell!

[N4Gworks4Sony]

only a sony fanboy would not want halo3 , i could understand if they were talking about halo2 cause im one of the only halo fans that thinks that the single player campaign was better in halo1 than in halo2 but man halo3 is looking sooooeeeeet!

[MikeGdaGod]

[Wii60_FTW]

no, you do.

[IQUITN4G]

Loads of stupid comments on here as usual.

Halo is great and those that slag on it are about as stupid as they come.

To hate Halo is to simply have no understanding of what makes a great game.It might be that you don't dig the storyline but to criticize the very excellent gameplay mechanics is like admitting you have a lowered mental age.

Were it any of you came across as knowing a thing or two about games , or at the very least had a decent argument for why Halo sucks, maybe then your opinions could be taken seriously.

[texism]

By your definition, you're just as stupid and your opinion shouldn't even matter as well.

Just to start a Flame War? Yall getting paid for this or something?

[7ero H3LL]

in what will mark the most decisive blow in the next gen wars. Not ONE game and not many, but the promise of BETTER. If developers are confident enough of the 360s newfound staying power, then they will make games for it, and not just GOOD games or tired sequels, but BETTER games. 360 has officially grown its roots in this next gen that we are witnessing, and is now going through its "blockbuster phase", much like how PS did back between 96-99. Those were the years when PS had the industry by the balls.

Microsoft is in that very position right now, with a slew of developers supporting them all the way.

[iceice123]

Halo you don't enjoy FPS and should go back to turn based RPGs.

''We Bought Into the Halo 2 Hype
At the time, Halo 2 was the greatest first person shooter for Xbox, featuring excellent multiplayer and attractive visuals. With that being said, we regret awarding the game a perfect ten, especially after dissecting the single player campaign a second and third time. We plan to avoid the hype this time around, and deliver a review that reflects the quality of the product.
''

this is how reviewers are gonna review halo 3...just give it 10 for being halo

[mmike855]

Let us, for a moment, consider Master Chief to be the mascot for the XBOX brand. This isn't just about really great sales, this is just about having respect for the mascots for each console. You don't see people ripping on Mario, or Sonic, as their respective properties. Even if the latest sonic wasn't that great, do we hate the character? Master Chief... er, the Halo franchise, is Microsoft's icon.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Personally I don't think its gonna be as great as halo 2, that game really got the hype and everything, problem is with this game is in its sequel they didn't bother expanding, I would be more inclined to buy the game if it had a better storyline and even a back story to the series.

[Odion]

forge alone reshapes the possibilities of Halo MP.

Halo 3 is going to live up to the hype. All you you haters are going to get OWNED in less then 25 days.

[Umbrella Corp]

This is a opinion,I believe its great that people are able to say they dont like Halo 3 actually I used to HATE it but now I love it.Freedom of Speech is great there are other games for the 360 as Mass Effect to name one Halo 3 will sell the console but it doesnt mean it is THE GREATEST game that everyone will love.

[SKUD]

WEST WEST YALL!

[MikeGdaGod]

i think everyone that wants this game already bought a 360. it might boost sales a lil. but those will probably be people buyin new consoles cus their 360 broke after playing Halo for hours.

[DuceWilly947]

halo is garbage, its not the king online anymore (WARHAWK DESTROYS IT), its just a rookie, GOLDENEYE is still the best FPS to date, why is it that when on G4 they have specials about some FPS's, they compare them to GOLDENEYE? Because its still being played and its still the best. Nobody is scared of halo, are you serious. WII has metroid PRime, which clearly is more recognized, we all know KZ2 is going to PWN HALO, and the lagbox has bioshock which will be forgotten, Mass Effect which looks all right, and Gaylo, ha, plz. XBOTS GIVE IT A REST.
KZ2
HAZE
UT3
Those are the pwnage crew of FPS, deal with it
And go ahead and disagree, your just scared because people could care less about GAYLO 3

[Wii60_FTW]

could u honestly be any F*CKING dumber? honestly? first of all, G4 compared a new FPS to 007? huh? every FPS to date since halo is compared to halo, f*cking moron. try again.

Metroid prime is a better game on wii and is more recognized? LOL did u honestly just say more people know about metroid prime on wii than halo f*cking 3? LMAO. u are some new kind of retarded. what drugs was your mom using when she pushed you out? seriously, seek help.

BTW, haze looks like a ps2 game. just listen to the new 1up podcast to find out all about it :)

UT3 is coming to 360, moron. they didn't want to release it next to halo 3 and lose. not to bright, are you? guess not. so that leaves, what, Killzone??? LOL ENJOY IT ;)

HAHAHAHA KZ2 is going to "PWN HALO"?? KZ1 sucked ass. kz2 wont be any different. that team cant make an FPS to save their life. they've already proven that, idiot. Bungie made the best FPS on the planet with Halo and are going to raise the bar even more.

KZ2 will be forgotten, pal, just like you and your utterly worthless opinion.

[Wii60_FTW]

LOL this article is a complete and total joke obviously written by defeated fanboys or some idiotic "journalist" trying to get some attention on his boring website. what a dipshit.

he claims because halo 2 sucked, halo 3 will? huh? halo 2 was rushed and not finished ant yes it sucked. bungie have already said halo 3 has gone back to its roots and feels similar to halo 1 and less like the turd that was halo 2. moot point. next.

he claims because people cheat online? ok, what does that have to do with halo specifically? can u tell me? no u can't, idiot wannabe journalist. bungie have already said they will ban ppl like crazy for cheating and have taken new measure to eliminate cheating. next.

lol. again, he claims halo 2 sucked so halo 3 will. um ok. well, ive played the beta and i can assure you it rules like halo 1 and not like the sh1tty halo 2. so this guy is once again talking more sh*t from is ass.

he also said halo 3 has boring multiplayer? and nothing new? LMAO HAHAHAHAHahAHAHAhaha IT HURTS HAHAHAHAHAH haHAAHah OMG haHAHA I WONT EVEN GO THERE LMAO. HAHa ahahahaha

in 24 days, the greatest game and biggest entertainment event in all of human history will completely crush all defeated sony fanzombies and all haters. just watch =]

All i have to say to this idiot "journalist" is:

try again.

TO THE IDIOT BELOW: For your information, I am a huge 007 fan and used to play 4 player split screen with my buddies all the time, moron. I know all about it. You saying Halo is garbage proves you are a 100% sony troll and are completely f*cking retarded. the 2 best FPS games on consoles are 007 and then Halo. Krapzone is considered to be one of the worst. whatt u gonna say to that one? oh yeah. nothing, moron. die.

-once again, to the moron: you just said Timesh1tters is better than Halo. lmao. it's no surprise that another monkey around here like you has a krapzone avatar. no surprise. what is it with you morons. Everyone I see with a Krapzone avatar is a complete and total ape. and sorry but, I have a hard time understanding your monkey language. you need to relearn English.

HALO3 has a single player footage, it looks just like halo 1 and 2, dont compare a rookie (GAYLO) to a legend (GOLDENYE), XD, it hurts so bad to laugh at you, XD

[The Chief of Mjolnir]

Applause to you!

You made it to my Ignore-list!

And you´re the most fanboy here, because you can´t spell Halo without melting your brain.

Do everyone that likes Halo a favour and STFU & GTFO.

F*cking ant eater...

[darkequitus]

So you are not 100% Phony then?

So I take it the only FPS gamer you will ever play is the one on you N64. Won't be getting Haze, KZ2, UT3 then? F8cking dumb-a*s

PC/PSWii60 gamer

A tip for you:

Have the words "I am thick" tatooed across your forehead and at least people will respect you for being honest.

I would never slag Goldeneye as it's one of my all time faves but Halo brought a whole load of new mechanics to the table and raised the bar for what was expected from console shooters.

Your avatar says it all anyway.

[The BS Police]

Sounds to me alot of people do care about Halo 3.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

New way to get rid of annoying biased ignorant Sonyturds: throw Mt. Dew Halo Edition on them.

It would be like throwing Holy water on a demon. They'd burst into flames.

[The Chief of Mjolnir]

Yeah. So true.

And I think that Halo 3 will be great. Not the best, but great.

That´s my opinion.

[PumPum]

Average FPS game. FPS games on PC in was better in the 90's than halo series.

[DuceWilly947]

okay i dont care, you know the game series sux, and by the way yeah i play N64, ON MY PS3 dumbasses, why is it that when you ask ppl which is the best system of all time is, the top 3 contenders are:
1: N64
2: super NES
3: PSX
NO XBOX, and no i dont care about halo, i speak the truth but of course xbots come up with dumb crap like sony turd, retards over and over again, just mad because KZ2 is gonna pwn 360, sux to be you XP

[The Chief of Mjolnir]

Yeah, you speak the truth.

In your world...

Sucks to be a fanboy with just three bubbles like you.

[Cloud Strife]

Im a big Sony fan but i can't diss a game just because its a xbox360 game.looks like it's going to be a nice game to have from what i've seen.

[DarkArcani]

I like Halo and all until i got to the same recycled hallway with the flood. I would go from one end of the hallway the shoot the flood, go through the another hallway and shoot the flood spent like 15-30 min going through the same looking hallway and shooting the flood. From left to right, right to left, etc. and it just bored the crap out of me. I felt like i was going in a circle.
Then Halo 2 came and i played it and to my surprise.... the same flood and same progression at that one point. Go from one end and shoot the flood. Go down a shaft and go to the other end and shoot the flood. go down the shaft. I thought to my self "didn't i just play this level in the first game?" That one part just felt toooooooo recycled.

That is my only beef with Halo. Besides that, a fun shooter.

Oooh... and if I play the third one and there is a @%#$ing repeating left to right, right to left hallway for 15+ min. I am seriously going to be agitated and probably not finish the game. Things like that just piss me off, especially when they are considered one of the best games in the genre.

[id dot entity]

Halo was such a hit because it was the first good shooter for consoles. Halo 2 didn't improve anything and I'm afraid that Halo 3 won't improve anything either.

The multiplayer beta was a real disappointment and multiplayer is what Halo is about. Well, at least for me. The single player campaigns can't really draw my attention.

And since BioShock I'm spoiled.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Your full of crap the halo 3 beta was amazing.

[codeazrael]

Halo: combat evolved is what got me playing first person shooters on a normal basis. The entire game, including key parts of the game that were surprising and equally as exciting (discovering the flood, which essentially turned the game into survival horror to me, and the awesome end where you are trying to escape in the Warthog.) Halo 1 to this date is the most exciting as well as breathtaking game I have ever played. My hands were numb when I finally let go of the controller, the story was so good. And that's where alot of people must realize, that graphics alone will not give you a killer app, you have to a combination of story, gameplay, graphics, AI (looking at you, Killzone 2) and you must have a good quality assurance person who can make sure a title is properly ready for release. I give major respect to Shane Kim who oversees Microsoft quality assurance. Why release 1000 titles when only a quarter of them are any good (looking at you ps2)
