3 months later...did anyone actually LIKE Halo 3?

Alright so its been about 3- 4 months later and can anyone say they really LOVED halo 3 and it met up with the hype? Ok i guess my topic title was misleading, i kinda liked halo 3 but it didnt even come close to the hype... the single player was just garbage... i have to admit it,

the gameplay was exactly the same as halo 1, thats not really a bad thing but when rachet and clank and metroid prime get lower scores for having the same gameplay as their predecessors it dosnt seem right that halo 3 not even get a mention about its 2001 type gameplay

the graphics were meh this game isnt very good looking in a technical sense but artistically it looks REALLY good since most devs never go for art style

The multiplayer is the only good thing you can really say about this game. its really fun but you just get the feeling youve done this already in halo 2 and youve done it even better in some games like ut 2004.

In conclusion if they took out the name "halo" out of this game and it was on ps3, wii or pc it would have gotten a 8 maybe 8.5 tops.

Disagree with me? tell me why

There were parts of the single player campaign that wrere really fun like the warthog driving levels or the scarab battles...and then there were parts that were boooooring (Find Cortana, anyone?)

But Halo 3 was far and away the best multiplayer I've played this year, mostly because of all the great competition on Xbox LIVE shortly after the game was released. I haven't touched the game for about a month now...there's been COD4, SMG, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero III, Rock Band...yeah.

If Halo 3 came out for the PS3, Wii, or PC, it would have gotten lower than an 8 because the 360 is the only system where there are excellent games!bloodbore8

The single player was a huge disappointment. It's not even set on a Halo, for Gods sake! :evil: I kept waiting for something incredible to happen and..............it never happened. Sloppy graphics, too short and lacked the open-endness of the first game.

But the MP is awesome fun once you mute the racist/homophobic idiots.

Halo 3 was OK. The single player was a bit better then halo 2 but the multiplayer got old fast for me. Feels more like a 8.5 then a 9.5 to me imo.Rougehunter

i would say a 9.0 because of the innovative features Bungie has added for consoles. The single player was better than Halo 1's but thats not saying a lot after playing COD4 or HL2... Run to the extraction point, run to the checkpoint, etc gameplay. Its weak

And yes, the MP is good if you havnt played Halo 2 online to death since release like i have

Halo 1 had "open-endness"? And although some textures were "sloppy", the lighting, HDR, and blur made the game very easy to look at.

And too short? Guess you havnt played COD4 yet then

Lol the Halos themselves are meaningless. You would have the exact same game as Halo 1 with the exact same ending. The Ark was the center of the entire system...perfect setting.

it sucked, mass effect deserved the 9.5. Halo 3 deserved a much lower score. numba1234

:lol: Mass Effect, even though it had potential to be great, was rushed. Too many technical glitches, bad combat, and empty planets made it a pain to play

You obviously didn't play the game, as you do end up on a Halo at some point in the game...

p.s. where were the homophobes? Everyone seems pretty gay in Halo, what with the t-bagging and all.

I still don't understand the story. Maybe because it didn't make any sense. Was the whole point of the story just to save cortana, and what was that annoying voice that popped up every second? Was he the flood. And why did that bot go crazy for some reason? numba1234

Yes I know you go to a Halo at the end of the game but its only one level. I just felt kinda cheated buying a Halo game only to find out that 90% of it isnt even set on Halo. Didnt that piss anyone else off?

The point of the story was to stop Truth from firing all the rings and KO-ing the unversive while simultaneously trying to beat back the Flood. The booming voice you kept hearing was the Gravemind, and Spark went beserk because his new installation was about to be destroyed before it was even finished.

Any other questions?

If it wasn't for all these other good games (Rock Band, The Orange Box, COD4) I would still be playing Halo 3 non-stop. Its a great game.

A lot of people were confused by Halo's story, because while the story itself might be decent, the in-game storytelling is quite ineffective. The apparent fact that (according to diehard Halo fans) you have to go to outside sources to piece everything together seems to reinforce that.

I want to play Halo 3 right now so badly... and can't until my 360 comes back from the shop :(

....Not really....I never really gave a damn, I spend most of my time online in MP, which consistently has atleast 100,000 people online daily, so yes, People actually do like Halo 3, hence the millions of people who went out and bought it and haven't complained about being bored of it yet.

Yes. the coop multiplayer kicked ass on legendary. and the saved films rock.

Haters will hate. God bless 'em.
