Now I do like my ps3 more than my 360 but having a 360 I was quite excited about getting Halo 3. I spent about 2 hours on the campaign and completed over half of it!!!! thats rubbish. the game is fun and the choppers are cool but I was hoping for better. the off line multiplayer was ok I had fun sniping my dad while he tryed to achine gun me but that was it. PS3 owners dont be jelous Halo 3 is good but thats it. good, not great, amazing or spectacular but good. I actually liked R6v better!!!! Am I mad?????

You took 2 hours to complete over half of it... If you haven't completed it how do you know it was over half? The levels vary in length quite a bit.

Also it's obvious you were playing on Easy/Normal. Try it on a real difficulty

Why do people constantly feel the need to make new threads about this? We don't care about your opinion on this awesome game.

I couldn't agree with you anymore. I played the game and thought it was fun, but nothing so spectacular. I think people are attached to the story and that's why they like it a lot.

No, you aren't mad... There's tons of people who hate Halo 3 or only think it's "good." It's not like you're the only one.

Judging from the stellar reviews it appears;

1. you set your expectations impossibly high

2. you are posting flamebait.

NinjaMunkey01

You are mad because you are obviously playing the game on an easy difficulty, and then turning around and blaming it on the game. There is a scalable difficulty for a reason, which is to provide a challenge to gamers of all skill levels. If you are breezing through it, then you should set the difficulty to Normal or Heroic.

Meh...Halo was exactly what I expected. More of the same in single player campaign but fun as hell in multiplayer. If you don't like it and love your PS3 so much then go play "Lair" or one of your other blockbuster games.

But yeh ok I was doing it co op with my dad and he had alreay completed it up to that bit but still i think the game seems pretty short. you cant deny it is short. other games you could do co-op and you would not get that far Halo 3 is honestly short. Maybe it will be better playing it on my own. oh well the multiplayer bit is good. I like hitting people with my rifle.

The thing is though with all the hype even with a 200 hour campaign it would not live up to the hype.

no lair was not good. I am not a fanboyI can admit sony mucked up loads with discontinuing consoles, not having dualshock and having a lack of good games. I liked R6V on the360 more than halo 3. not the ps3 one. maybe I will like it more in the future. who knows... I am not a fanboy though I probably use my 360 more than the ps3 as it has more games.

No I thought it would be good. Like i said its GOOD, whats wrong with that? most games are GOOD I never said its unplayable its G O O D. get it now. Its just that it being halo the big 360 game of the year it would be more of a spectacular. why are people so mad that I did not like it enough to call it spectacular? do you have nothing better to do?????

plus its one o in to. not too. learn proper English.

I'm not sure i quite believe you have played much of the campaign if not none of it. If you have what type of enemy were you fighting on the 5th level(about half-way through the game), and whats the difference between the earlier levels and the 6th and 7th.

As a Halo fan, I agree. However, I also think this is the same reason MGS fans are excited for that. Thing is, I think MGS's story is crazy. But I guess it is natural to want to see how something ends after starting it.

No you are not mad. I have over 2000 hours on R6V and I still love to play it all the time. The same can't be said about Halo 3, I have maybe 30 hours into both SP and MP combined and I already can't stand how glitchy the game is. How the hell do you get assasinated by someone who is standing infront of you? Seriously the game is garbage compared to R6V. Thats just my opinion though so dont flame me lemmings.

do ypu mean the bit where you fight the 4 legged spider thing. you shoot the legs, jump into it and then shoot the red power core thing. there is also the bit where you are clearing out the hangars and you escape that bit after arming a bomb. you escape in a warthog with others. But I blew up my warthog so I stole a chopper. You take out tanks by pressing RB and hitting them which is easy.

when playing co-op I started some way into the game and got nearly to the end and I have started from the beginning on single player. the first level is in a jungle.

exactly R6V is great. Probably the best game I have played on the 360. Now any FPS game with no cover system seems lacking.

Play the game on legendary. You might get a better experience. You have to use tactics in Halo 3 on legendary cause any run n gun on that difficulty and you get blown away. Heroic is not easy either. I think your playing the game on normal. Seems to me though that you like tactical games like R6V, GRAW, or even gears. Nothing wrong with that. Its your preference. But i would suggest giving the game a chance on legendary by yourself and not in coop then you might change your mind. But if you don't then hey the game is just not your taste.

Also it's obvious you were playing on Easy/Normal. Try it on a real difficulty



Not like it really makes a difference. Don't try to make yourself believe Halo games have some long, drawn out campaign because they don't. I haven't played Halo CE or Halo 2 in about a year and a half and I bet you I can finish both campaigns on legendary this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon.

So if everyone you know is a 360 fanboy and they say its not special, I guess you don't know many of them. Because everynight when I go online I notice there about 800,000 to 900,000 people online playing. I guess they don't think it is special either.

I'm perfectly happy with Halo 3. I wasn't expecting some grace of god game that would solve all the worlds problems, I just expected another Halo game. Which is exactly what I wanted, because I enjoy playing Halo games. It's not some peoples cup of tea, and there is merit to some of the arguments they make. If you prefer more realism and strategy, then by all means, continue to play Rainbow Six; nothings stopping you.

So whats your point? You can beat a 5-6 year old game in an afternoon or evening when you have probably beaten it several times and you know exactly whats going to happen and when? I dont care what you say but Halo 3 is a pretty long campaign. It might not be months worth, which I dont know of any game in this current generation that has that long of a campaign. But it holds its own as far as the campaign goes. I mean to be honest I really don't want to be sitting there months trying to beat a game I'm sorry but that just is not me. Any campaign that you have to spend about 10-15 hours beating is good enough for me, anything more than that is rediculous. IMO if you have to spend 40 hours just to beat a campaign you really have to have no social life at all.

The only thing that dissapointed me is htat brutes are so hard to kill. BTW : I'm halfway done and I haven't seen any Jackals (the anubis head snipers that turn invisible)
