Bungie should delay Halo 3 (From a Halo fan's viewpoint)

I'm a big halo fan, believe me if you want to, it's your choice. I do believe that the Halo series is one of the best out there.

It takes Bungie about 3 years to finish a game at the least. They've only been working on Halo 3 for 2 years. I have a feeling that the only reason Bungie is trying to get the game finished by the holidays is because of Microsoft's desperate attempt to make money this holiday season. I don't think that Bungie is truly as finished with that game as they would like to be. If you're a true fan of Halo, you would agree.

You wouldn't care how much it sells. You wouldn't care if it is better than the competition's game lineup. All you would care about is if the game is good. All you would care about is if Bungie has made a game that lives up to the gameplay and story telling of the first 2 games.

I thought Halo 1 and 2 were some of the best games I've ever played and I am looking forward to halo 3. But I wouldn't care if it came out this holiday season or not. Why? Because I'd rather have Bungie delay the game and make a masterpiece, then release the game just so it gets out this holiday season, when the game is not as good as it could of been had they released it when it's finished.

That's all I have to say on this matter.

But Microsoft would cry.

Seriously, I think they're hard at work and putting their best effort forward.

Why would Microsoft cry when they still would have 2 GOTY candidates to well none on the PS3.

It takes Bungie however long it takes to make a game. There's no set date.

And even if there was, Bungie has grown in size by over a hundred. The games done.

This game has been in development for 3 years, and Bungie wouldn't have planned a September release if they didn't think it'd be finished by then. Microsoft does not push them as much as you think; they give Bungie a lot of room to do what they do best.

You have got to be kidding me. First of all, you've absolutely painted the entire Sony lineup as irrelevant, then you counted all your little Microsoft chickens before they hatched. Stop BSing me.

You're wrong. You'd be right with Halo 2; bungie needed more time, but had to get the game finished. They took too long, screwed around too much, and ended up with a horrible crunch to get the game done.

This time, that's not the case. Heck, the game was largely finished a couple of months ago; right now they're on bug testing.

The started on Halo 3 IMMEDIATELY after Halo 2. Halo 2 hit store shelves in Nov 2004 (they finished it and it went gold before Nov, though.)

They have been working on Halo 3 for 3 years, so there you go. Math FTW.

Now , combine this fact with the fact that their development team is even larger than it was for Halo 2...

I agree Lost Odyssey is a sleeper GOTY i am very impressed with it.

Halo 3 has been in development since Halo 2's release. Its been about 3 years now. Its done there is nothing more to do.sirk1264

I think the graphics are great after downloading the E3 trailer on my 360 and watching it in HD. I was quite impressed. I think people bash it cause they changed master chiefs armor from the E3 06 trailer. Only blind people would call it Halo 2.5 or something like that.

halo is the microsoft trumph card, they know that if the 360 is to succeed halo needs to sell and be good.But ms also knows that customers need a reason to by the 360 this christmas (halo 1 was the reason in 2001 and halo 2 was the reason in 2004). I really hope halo 3 turns out to be the best game in the series, halo 2 was rushed and although it's single player was way better than halo 1, it was short and rushed.

let halo 3 not meet that fait because i wantthis trilogy to end and be the kind of game people talk about 10 years from now.

Halo was never about the graphics. As long as the gameplay is good, i'm content.

1. There is a press conference trans-script on microsoft.com that clearly states that Halo 3 was being developed along side Halo 2. This document was used to prove the existence of Halo 3 when Bungie was quiet about it pre-announce trailer, you might have seen a lot of links to it around that time.

2. Bungie is on track with Halo 3 and they are the ones who set the release date.

3. Halo 3 IS almost finished. All that they have left to do is to polish it.

3. Halo 2, unlike Halo 3, was rushed and you don't seem to mind.

4. If you think that Halo 2 was one of the best games that you have ever played, then you shouldn't have to worry much about the quality of Halo 3.

5. Read Bungie's weekly updates before you complain about a problem that doesn't exist.

Because they don't care about GOTY candidates. Only fanboys do.

They want money. Halo 3 would bring in more money than Mass Effect and BioShock COMBINED.

You truly are a fanboy.

did I say that those were the only candidates!? no, I said MS has 4 GOTY Candidates, THATS DOESNT MEAN THERE ARENT OTHERS

aaaaaaaaaaand....... your avatar :|

Fun fact. Though Bungie got to dictate when they wanted the game shipping, MS was pushing them to ship the game as early as last Christmas to coincide with the PS3 launch.

they started work on halo3 before even releasing halo2..they had enough time.lawlessx

The enormous amount of features and the extremely polished beta back up your statement. I don't really understand what the OP is going on about.

As far as you thinking they should delay Halo 3. I think the game is as good as can ever be and I think it has been delayed alot already.

Oh look a hermit. I've played ALOT of FPS and while Halo's aren't my favourite there is plenty of reason for people to have them as their fav'. Stopp being so jelouse that the Xbox got Halo first.

Trust me I am not jealous. If Xbox had gotten the version of Halo that the PC was going to get originally I would be mad, but it didn't. It got a shell of a good game. Nothing more...

i think you're wrongfurtherfan

yeah and there's no way they would do something like that at this point. It has already been 1 year without the 360 having a Halo game and there's no way they would make us wait another year. This is the perfect time to release it.
