This is not flamebait but rather consider it motivation for an intelligent discussion.

i believe that other FPS will overshadow whatever halo 3 brings to the table in terms of gameplay. even rfom will make it harder for rfom to get a higher score. i have yet to play rfom and i havent obviously played halo 3 but im sure that they are both great.

lets begin with the good and the bad about rfom. the game has good graphics, detailed and varied environments, diverse weapons, good ai, good online mp with up to 40 ppl and no lag, etc. what score did it get? 8.6 why? it was a generic fps.. a good one that did everything well but failed to bring anything new. another example is zelda tp, the best zelda game ever made in many ways but its familiarity with previous zelda games and a cookie cutter formula got it a score of 8.8.
other games on the 360 will also hurt halos score. gears is an awesome as is rainbow six vegas. how good do halos graphics have to be to give us the wow factor that gears gave us? will halo have better team tactics than vegas? will halo 3 be as interactive  as bioshock? will it be as vast as mass effect?

halo 3 is not an original ip anymore... how much can it satisfy us apart from the fact that its halo and we are finishing the fight?

tell me.. what will halo 3 bring to the table apart from possibly slightly superior graphics? how much can it bring to the fps genre that has been done before or that will be done this year before it? how good can fps multiplayer get?

 a part of me wants halo to be a great game because i plan on playing it someday and hopefully further justify a purchase of a 360, another part of me wants halo to get a low score to behold the chaos that would ensue in system wars.

You have many points here. Not to mention Metroid Prime 3 will give Halo 3 a run for its money. Not saying MP3 will get a higher score, but I'm pretty sure I'll like MP3 more, mainly because it's single-player is better, and since my mom doesn't go for online unless it's free, I won't be able to even taste the awesomeness off Halo 3's online without going over to a friend's house.

I actually agree with you, however this doesent mean a game with an 8.9 will be a flop.  It might be generic, might not.  but the many fans of the series will buy it.  Just like Twilight Princess.  Halo 3 is a guaranteed success.

And I think you may be right...but you're operating on one HUGE assumption....that Halo 3 won't, in fact, bring anything new to FPS genre.

That's the real question...and no one has the answer yet.

Remember how GregK admitted the 9.6 he gave to MGS 2 was severely overrated? I'm pretty sure it's because he fell into the hype along with everyone else.

Don't give me that stupid excuse. So if Mario flopped, anything is possible too. How about Sonic? If that flopped, anything is possible. Just because OoT is named the greatest game of all time does not mean the Zelda series is invincible. Or anything else for that matter.

No matter what score it gets, it will definitely NOT flop (in terms of sales). There's just too many Halo fans for the game to not sell. It can get an 8.0 rating and it will still sell millions of copies. If I've noticed one thing, it's that Xbox owners are very dedicated to certain titles, on a level greater than that of Playstation owners and Nintendo owners. For example, because of the vast variety of great games on the PS2, PS2 owners were a very diverse crowd and not everyone bought GTA, Socom, MGS, Final Fantasy games, it was all mixed. However, Halo was one of the only games on the Xbox worth purchasing so MANY people bought it. I hope this makes sense.

if halo 3 gets a good score it is better for me as well as all gamers. so even if ppl try to won me i dont care because ill be busy enjoying the damn game...

instead of saying that i fail at life and that halo is halo why dont you try writing something intelligent...

tp and rfom are both quality and very polished games that ill take any day... same with halo 3... even if the score is not as high as fans expect it will still be an awesome game that i will buy.

That was well written and although I disagree on several points I respect the way you posted it. Now...

A) Gears is in no way a threat to Halos' score, neither is any other game imo.

B) Graphics are in no way a threat to Halos' score either, it's all about gameplay.

C) Graphics don't need to be a "WOW" factor, the action will be far more intense than Gears plus the name itself IS a big wow factor for many.

D) As far as satifying goes, Halo 2s' story was supposedly wretched yet it remained tops on XBL for over 2 years straight.

E) It brings the "console king" back to the table, plus we don't know enough to say that it won't bring anything new.

F) Halo 2 online brought nothing new and people claimed Halo 1 multiplayer was better, yet see "D."

G) Halo 1 and Halo 2 are two of the most critically acclaimed console shooters in history, I'm not a gambling man but I sure wouldn't bet on Halo 3 getting anything less than AAA.

Yes, Halo 3 can flop, but not because Zelda flopped. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

hindsight is 20/20. it's easy to say why a game flopped after it's been released and reviewed.

Don't give me that stupid excuse. So if Mario flopped, anything is possible too. How about Sonic? If that flopped, anything is possible. Just because OoT is named the greatest game of all time does not mean the Zelda series is invincible. Or anything else for that matter.


sounds like you should think it's a pretty good excuse then. :?

Yes, Halo 3 can flop, but not because Zelda flopped. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.


why is it so stupid? people acted like zelda was invincible just like people are acting like halo is invincible.

Marathon 2 for the PC, Oni and Myth



Marathon, Oni, and Myth were awesome. AA worthy, and Myth was AAA worthy imo

Myth: The Fallen Lords=8.9, Myth II: Soulblighter=9.3



close, i loved both Myth games :)

This is not flamebait but rather consider it motivation for an intelligent discussion.

i believe that other FPS will overshadow whatever halo 3 brings to the table in terms of gameplay. even rfom will make it harder for rfom to get a higher score. i have yet to play rfom and i havent obviously played halo 3 but im sure that they are both great.

lets begin with the good and the bad about rfom. the game has good graphics, detailed and varied environments, diverse weapons, good ai, good online mp with up to 40 ppl and no lag, etc. what score did it get? 8.6 why? it was a generic fps.. a good one that did everything well but failed to bring anything new. another example is zelda tp, the best zelda game ever made in many ways but its familiarity with previous zelda games and a cookie cutter formula got it a score of 8.8.
other games on the 360 will also hurt halos score. gears is an awesome as is rainbow six vegas. how good do halos graphics have to be to give us the wow factor that gears gave us? will halo have better team tactics than vegas? will halo 3 be as interactive as bioshock? will it be as vast as mass effect?

halo 3 is not an original ip anymore... how much can it satisfy us apart from the fact that its halo and we are finishing the fight?

tell me.. what will halo 3 bring to the table apart from possibly slightly superior graphics? how much can it bring to the fps genre that has been done before or that will be done this year before it? how good can fps multiplayer get?

a part of me wants halo to be a great game because i plan on playing it someday and hopefully further justify a purchase of a 360, another part of me wants halo to get a low score to behold the chaos that would ensue in system wars.

what do you think?

Do you realize you are comparing RFOM to Halo? This is coming from a hermit too......

Bungie isn't releasing Halo 3 with the same charachters, weapons, and story, that was why TP flopped.


hindsight is 20/20. it's easy to say why a game flopped after it's been released and reviewed.

And its hard to say why a game flopped before its been released and reviewed. In fact its damn-near impossible.

I'm ready to sacrifice graphics for larger environments, GeOW felt claustrophobic.

it's as impossible to say why it won't flop.
