Joe Fielder and Greg Kasavin who previously worked at Gamespot reviewed the previous Halo games. So who does that leave? Most likely the person who spent the most coverage in Halo 3 within Gamespot's editorial team and that is Jeff Gerstmann.

He gaveHalo 2 Vista a score of 7.0(Which is the same exact game) and it doesnt seem like he's very optimistic about Halo 3 at all. He didnt even like Halo 2 when it came out on the Xbox, he stated he only played for the first few days and never played it again and also out of all the previews, Jeff's preview seemed least optmisitic of all the general gaming websitessaying that it was "same old" (Which its not since Halo 3 is completely different from Halo 2). He's also very used to flopping games like most recently Zelda : TW. Im afraid that might flop the best FPS in history :cry:

Well if you're that worried about it, here's what you do. The week of September 25th, don't log onto Gamespot. Buy Halo 3, play it, love the hell out of it, beat it, then come back and check the score.

Jeff is my favorite reviewer, because he doesn't rate the game on the basis of its name. But on its merit.

Its been awhile since the bias gamespot subject came up. Maybe if your systems had good games it wouldn't be an issue that 360 is leading in AAAs, and halo will be AAA.

So you talk about how this guy doesn't really like Halo much...and than I'm supposed to care what he gives the game? Why would I care about his opinion? There's nothing he can do in his power to change whether or not I like this game...and the fact that he seems to have a problem with the Halo franchise makes his review more useless.

PC games are held to higher standards, besides, didn't it take 2 or 3 yearsafter Halo 2 was released on the Xboxfor it to come out for the PC?

From all the stuff I have seen of Halo 3the chance of it flopping is less than 5%.

It's possible, but not probable. I'm still guessing a 9.0.

Of course, even though I just made this account during a summer seminar (never even tried to make one). Just enjoyed watching the crazy antics here, and decided to jump in :). Glad you called me a ban dodger, why don't you report me for it? Because I am not :).

Yeah but I have yet to meet any maniacs, only jerks and hardcore Microsoft supporters (The hardcore Microsoft supporters are expectedhowever considering my gamertag)

I dont think MS cares what Halo 3 scores. It will sell a crapload no matter what score it gets.

he didn't flop zelda, he gave it an 8.8 which means it's great. The reason he didn't score it higher is because it's the excact same thing we've seen before, It's just more Zelda. Maybe he will do the same with Halo or maybe he won't. It really depends on if Halo is something new and better or just the same thing in HD

I could honestly care less. There are some games I'm going to buy regardless of what anyone says. Mario series Zelda series Metroid series MGS series Ratchet and Clank series Halo series If it ends up flopping... oh well, it'll already be in my 360 by the time I hear about it.

If Halo is the worst FPS in history then why did more people play both Halo and Halo 2 on PC in June than the counterstrike in your sig. Is Halo the best FPS ever, probably not however it is impossible to measure one amazing game from another since its opinion that makes you buy the game. I dont like MGS I find it boring however I realize that its my opinion and that it is actually an amazing franchise. Subject your fanboyism in another thread in methods that atleast have some measure of reality.

I dunno if it will flop.....It'll be 9.0, not 9.5 IMO. However, I don't think it'll be in the running for Game of the Year OReven FPS Game of the Year. Too many other good games coming out.
