Halo 3, best FPS ever?

I'd say that FPS that's not on PC doesn't qualify for the "best FPS ever" title by default.

nope sorry ,i guess people havent played timesplitters , 2000 -the first one ,

um what else goldeneye doom quake the original turok , um hexen , um ya you got a long way to go for the best fps ever and i think im giving that crown to timesplitters number 2 rightfully so because even with timesplitters 3- which is still ok i think it could have left the flame tag mode alone,

and nothing this gen has what ts has , cheats , , loads of weapons in multiplayer split screen , good story mode and extras inside the game or unlockables -dont even say dlc, i shouldnt have to pay to unlock somthing that shall be awarded for playing and beating a certain level on a certain difficulty in a certain way to make the game more challenging , at the same time adding replay value to it

so wake me up when halo 3 is not just another halo 2 running on the xbox 360 in fact when any halo is not just another halo ,

because that formula died off as soon as the 2nd one came out

even bungie was disappointed , and that dont happen very much at all in this industry ,,

so have fun claiming halo 3 as the best when clearly if we look at pd or timesplitters or all the way back to goldeneye, we had more fun

Perfect Dark 64 would be if it was not hindered by old hardware. Halo 3 is great, but NOT the best. Battlefield 3 is poised to take my top spot, although its completely different than games like Halo and PD.

It would have to have the crosshair in the center for me to even consider it being anything close to great. Decent gameplay though, yeah it's alright if you have nothing better to do.

Does anyone know if the anniversary thing will fix the crosshair problem or are we stuck with this weird stuff?

Team Fortress 2 or Half Life 2 imo.

It's certainly not my favorite, but it was a really fun game.

Yup, the thought of even mentioning a console only FPS as "best" is mind boggling.

Yeah i popped in H3 again and forgot i how good it was. One on of the last skill based shooters we have on consoles.

Anyways I think the series is stagnating a bit, but I actually havehigh hopes for 343 and Halo 4

[QUOTE="aeons_ago_1990"]counter strike, team fortress and battlefield what do they all have in common?? they all only last because of their online, but look at halo 3, its the WHOLE deal! awesome single player, awesome online, awesome time with friends and creative thinking!Daytona_178

Nah, it's not even the best Halo.

As there's a 1990 in your name, I'm guessing that's when you were born.

As I grew up, shooters like Wolfenstien, Doom, Goldeneye, Half life and Quake revolutionized the FPS. Halo did at a time too, then it stagnated, which is evident in H3. Now they all stagnate, so it's hard to look at any modern day example as "the best".

It must be hard for new gamers growing up on Halo and COD, their standards as they see them would be incredibly high, yet in reality in comparison to everything else, are amazingly low. That's why COD sells so well I guess.
