I dont know why people are saying Halo 3 will last 2,3 and even 4 years before it gets boring. This gen is a totally different ball game, the reason Halo 2 lasted so long because there wasnt really any other xbox multiplayer game that did multiplayer as good as Halo 2 did back in the day, Halo 2 was one of a kind back in the day but now compared to games like COD4,Warhawk, Gears Of War, Resistance, Unreal Tournament etc.. Halo 3 is just another run of the mill online FPS. Dont get me wrong I see it lasting a good while, but thinking it will have the same replay value for years and years like Halo 2 did is just plain naive..

Halo 2 online multiplayer was state of the art back in the day for online shooters, but now those type of online shooters are a dime a dozen, i expect Halo 3 to last a good solid year before it gets boring and noone really plays it that much anymore. Especially with Killzone 2, Socom, UT3 and MGO on the horizon

There is +500000 players during a week day playing Halo 3 on Live, and +1000000 players on the weekends and growing.

It is the most played console online, its going to last a good 2-3 years.

O yeah, lol at you for mentioning Killzone 2 and the rest of that line up :lol:

Thank you for being so sure of yourself that you feel that you can tell me what I will and won't be playing in the future.

I had no idea I wouldn't be playing Halo 3 in the future, since I thought that I really enjoyed the multiplayer and playing with all my friends.

Get the point? You are not a sage, and you are not anyone besides yourself. Don't try to tell people what they will and won't do and like, and stop worrying about the future. Kay?

By that logic Brawl will be lasting about 12 years, considering without online it lasted 6 years.

You had a really decent article going until you let out your inner cow.Why on earth would you end it with the games at the end mostly PS3 games ? Your talking about a 360 game, keep hyping Killzone 2 though.

You're truly a sad fan/fakeboy if you bought a 360 just to trash it with at least 5 threads a day.

HOWEVER... Care to link to your Xbox.com profile? Because Hallowedsaint doesn't seem to be working as a Gamertag on Xbox.com.

So even after Gears 2 is released you expect Halo 3 to still be the **** Halo 3 mp will not last very long in a gen where online FPS is vastly improving on not one but two different consoles. So you can keep living in your world where Halo 3 is going to be immensely popular for the next 3 years while I live in the real world and play the best mp experiences as they're released.

You might have had a point if any of those games had caught up to Halo 2 yet, much less Halo 3. Halo 3's matchmaking and feature set is miles ahead of everything else.

Melee could last me a lifetime, it has way more replay value than any shooter around.

I think Brawl will be THE game for wii and a good reason to buy one even if it was the only reason so far (imo).

no, tc has a point. Gaming has surpassed halo 2, and not just halo 3. In a years time there will be better things out there than halo 3. Atthe very least there will plenty of competition, competition which just wasn't there during Halo 2's run. That's the entire point the TC was making and I can't believe so many people are calling him a fakeboy. look in the mirror, or better yet look at the facts.

The only games to dethrone Halo 2 so far are Gears of War and Halo 3. And even that is only because Gears is this gen and Halo 2 is last gen.

Now that the Halo experience is this gen, don't expect it to be knocked down any time soon.

Well, Mikey boy? Surely you'll oblige and actually link to your Xbox.com profile.

I'm not so good at looking up gamertags on Xbox.com maybe, but yours just doesn't seem to be there.

but it's not the only game in town anymore. There will be a much more diverse lineup compared to last gen with titles like warhawk and gearsstealing little bits of online multiplayer glory. Halo is still the biggest game, but it isn't the only game. That alone should take away a lot of the longevity of halo 3. People will want to switch it up now and then

edit: wait a minute, gears has terrible online :?

I think majority of Halo fans will continue to play this game. Lot of people probably just bought into the hype. And I'm sure Bungie will keep things new with maps

More people still play Halo 2 than play Warhawk.

If Halo 3 hadn't come out there'd still be more people playing Halo 2 than anything other than Gears. Halo 3 takes that throne back by a considerable margin and it isn't going anywhere.

It's not like Halo 2 didn't have competition from the likes of Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, Unreal Championship and Call of Duty games back in the day.

The only thing that's changed anything significantly is the introduction of Gears of War, which finally managed to dethrone a LAST GEN game (just about). and now that Halo 3 has that lead back it's not going anywhere any time soon. The only mild potential for a dethroning is whenever Gears 2 comes around, which doesn't look like for a looooong time.

There is +500000 players during a week day playing Halo 3 on Live, and +1000000 players on the weekends and growing.

It is the most played console online, its going to last a good 2-3 years.

O yeah, lol at you for mentioning Killzone 2 and the rest of that line up :lol:

This guy is a troll man...Its like he says the same things each time with a different twist to avoid moderation.

Before I get started let me start by saying that yes I do own both a 360 and PS3.. My 360 Gamertag is HallowedSaint and PSN User ID is the same. I have to admit that I really enjoyedMikeCOD80

Before I start this thread let me say that yes im a huge 360 fan and no im not "Pretending" to be a 360 fan just so i can make the 360 look badMikeCOD80

I own both the PS3 and 360 and I admit I Looove my 360MikeCOD80

I was doubting Ratchet and Clank a lot since sony hasnt had any luck with games lately aside from Warhawk. Im a owner of both the PS3 and 360 and would consider myself a hardcore 360 fanMikeCOD80

I agree. This time around Halo 3 has more competition.

It took until Battlefield 2 Modern Combat to come out did I quit playing Halo 2. Now CoD 4 comes out in only a few weeks and then other games with promising online are also on their way.

I hope bungie updates Halo 3 with added content more often. Luckly the added forge to Halo 3 to give it more life.

I dont know why people are saying Halo 3 will last 2,3 and even 4 years before it gets boring. This gen is a totally different ball game, the reason Halo 2 lasted so long because there wasnt really any other xbox multiplayer game that did multiplayer as good as Halo 2 did back in the day, Halo 2 was one of a kind back in the day but now compared to games like COD4,Warhawk, Gears Of War, Resistance, Unreal Tournament etc.. Halo 3 is just another run of the mill online FPS. Dont get me wrong I see it lasting a good while, but thinking it will have the same replay value for years and years like Halo 2 did is just plain naive..

Halo 2 online multiplayer was state of the art back in the day for online shooters, but now those type of online shooters are a dime a dozen, i expect Halo 3 to last a good solid year before it gets boring and noone really plays it that much anymore. Especially with Killzone 2, Socom, UT3 and MGO on the horizon

MikeCOD80

Be quiet Right Now. You don't know what you are talking about. The reason the Halo games last so long is not because of Competition, it has none anyways. Halo last so long because Bungie Has developed an awesome Matchmaking system, Partying system, and just an amazing easy to use online strategy. No other game has done this in three years, Halo is state of the art because of this, and Are you saying Warhawk is better online then Halo 3? HA HA, thats the statement of the year. None of those games you listed are going to take Halo down, I'm just sitting hear laughing my ass off at this one, you Sony Fans really amuse me, and your becoming the best of them.

Maybe you should add a sentence to your "Report" on him that he claims to have a gamertag "HallowedSaint" which so far Xbox.com seems to not confirm.

You might have had a point if any of those games had caught up to Halo 2 yet, much less Halo 3. Halo 3's matchmaking and feature set is miles ahead of everything else.

GunSmith1_basic

no, tc has a point. Gaming has surpassed halo 2, and not just halo 3. In a years time there will be better things out there than halo 3. Atthe very least there will plenty of competition, competition which just wasn't there during Halo 2's run. That's the entire point the TC was making and I can't believe so many people are calling him a fakeboy. look in the mirror, or better yet look at the facts.

There'll be more competition, I'll give you that, but better competition? I don't see it happening. Halo 2 had a 3 year run and not one game came along and outdid it's addictive matchmaking. The TC claimed that Halo 2's online was no longer state of the art, but failed to list even one game that has done it better since.

Yeah okay keep telling yourself that. And Super Smash Brothers Brawl won't last as long as Melee. These are the consoles best multiplayer games and have the largest fanbases.

Where exactly in that review does it say Halo 2's online system has been surpassed? I challenge you to name one game that has outdone Halo 2's matchmaking and party system since it's release (other than Halo 3, of course).
