Did anyone else get bored of Halo 3 a week after it came out?

Halo was a huge dissapointment. The story was short and the online was weak. I just dont like the fact that its so unrealistic. It takes almost two clips from an assault rifle to kill someone... The forge and movie editor sounded better than they were... And overall, I got tired after a week.

Anyone else get bored of it quickly?

(Im not trolling, just wondering if anyone else experienced this.)

yea, i stopped playing it after only a few days, let alone weeks

i enjoy cod4 and tf2 more

Yep. COD4 is much better in my opinion.jackvegas21

The sad thing is, the CoD4 beta kept me interested longer than Halo 3, only 3 maps and a few guns, yet In my opinion Halo 3 was a flop, atleast for me.

I didnt like TF2, mainly because none of my friends had it, but the online community was a lot friendlier than Halo's

I've beaten Halo 3's campaign once on each difficulty (except easy just because....I can't stand it).

I play every weekend at night from around midnight to 4 am since launch and will probably continue to do so until the next Xbox.

I have yet to even try Meta-Games, Forge, Custom Games,or Saved Films so....nope, not bored at all, far from it, actually.

lol, now that you mention it, i played the cod4 beta longer then i did my copy of halo

I really enjoyed halo 3's campaign(though i played it coop with a friend), it was lots of fun! I enjoyed it far more then Halo CE(though, 3's story was more dissapointing). Also, i ahd alot of fun with the multiplayer for about a week or two.

Then, phantom hourglass came out and that's what i focused on.

And after that, the orange box..

oh, and gears multiplayer came back :)

I'd like to go back to halo 3 sometime, but i'm playing so many great single players right now that i could care less for multiplayer. Halo3's SP was worth it for me, and that's what matters most.

Lol, its pretty sad. I think the main reason I dont like Halo is because the last Halo game I had played was Halo, I never played online or multiplayer so I didnt realize it would be so unrealistic.

Who needs Halo 3 when you can be playing games twice as better than that piece of trash. COD4. ME. VF5. Need I go on?ChrisMun

A piece of trash that scored a 9.5/10? :o

9.5 is not trash. It may not be your type of game. But to call it trash is just sad on your part.

uhhh ok. why does it have to be realistic?

I hated the campaign but I love the online. There's nothing like sticking somebody then teabagging them. :P

its certainly not trash, but i think zero punctuation's yahtzee said it the best by calling it entirely "medicore, and run of the mill, and its only real achievement is how far stuck up its own *** it is"

I just got Halo 3 from a friend and like it quite a bit. I'm usually a PC gamer, and a bit tired of twitch shooters to be honest. On my 360 I can relax in my chair and not be so pressured to be "omg enemy spotted". In halo 3 its just, okay I see a dude now let me just run towards him and start spraying :P

Noob mentality, but my PC is falling behind in tech and I'm not prepared to upgrade it for atleast 4 months.

That comment about the asault rifle, though- it doesn't even take me a full clip so yeah...

The assault rifle kills in less than one clip if you know how to aim. I'm still playing through the campaign solo, on legendary (no more than 6 hours a week, up to 15 hours now). I've been playing the online since it released and I'm still having a ball. It really all depends on what you're looking for though. I played through COD4 in a few days and sold it to a co worker, I thought it was an awsome game, not especially realistic (like VEGAS) but still pretty cool.

Halo is like a very slow moving UT3, the game has shields that you have to deplete before you can kill, so I recomend using an alien weapon for the shields, then finish with a rifle.

Part of what keeps me coming back is the ranking system, I am still chasing down higher ranks and medals that I haven't gotten, also, it's a lot of fun playing with friends. You can't fly in banshees with COD4, there are no lazers or warthogs either. Those things are fun.

I beat the campaign in a course of 4 days on co-op with a friend. And then I never touched it again, good thing he just rented it, because he wasn't all that impressed either.DragonfireXZ95

yeah, i played the campaign co op at a friends place. i was praising it all over over system wars at first, but after i finished the campaign, did a couple dozen MP matches and messed around with the forge for a while, i never had any desire to ever touch it again, let alone buy it.

there are like 5 better shooters this year. COD4, orange box, crysis, bioshock, mp3 all much better games imo.

I hated the campaign but I love the online. There's nothing like sticking somebody then teabagging them. :P

You have personal tastes, right? Do you play games based on a number, or do you base games after you've played and beat the game? I play, beat, onlined, etc., with Halo 3. It's trash. It's no fun anymore. Mass Effect has lived up to its name so far and it truely is a great experience. I can name plenty of game that are far more epic than Halo 3.

I also have to wonder if you just suck at playing Halo 3 online because that may be a reason for disliking it. If you try to play team slayer and get stomped by 20 points I might see why someone wouldn't want to play anymore. I see the differences in COD and Halo, it's much easier to score a kill in COD4 than Halo 3 because bullits kill faster, there's no shield. I played a dozen games of COD4 online and found myself destroying people in every match I played. It's not because I'm the best, it's because I play the crap out of Halo 3 MP and COD4 is just too easy for me by comparrison.

The campaign AI is about the same for both, except in COD, the enemy will endlessly flow untill you reach a certain point on the map that infinity ward wants you to go. Not really daming, but not as realistic as one might hope. I still loved COD4 the entire time through.

What I don't understand is the red hot hatred many seem to have for Halo 3, like it offends some people that they even played it. And to resort to calling the game trash is a slap in the face to all developers out there that toil away for hours on these games so some "forum OG" can call thier game trash.

Well, I personally think Halo 3 is one of the greatest games ever and fully deserves its 9.5/10 rating.

(This is the part where we argue our opinions until one of us gives up)

I havent played it since COD4 came out. I also would rather be playing TF2 but havent got around to it.

Single player was great though. And whoever said it takes 2 clips from the AR to kill needs to stop making things up.

whats your live name?

My two problems:

-Forgettable, uninteresting campaign which offered little redeeming scenes.

-Should of launched with more/more varied multiplayer maps

The multiplayer/co-op keeps me playing though and exceeds Halo 2 in both aspects. The campaign could of been so much more though.

not a week, but i did stop after cod4 came out. whe nthe new maps come out im right bac kon it though.

Yep. COD4 is much better in my opinion.jackvegas21
