Halo: Combat Evolved. Or rather - Combat DeEvolved. That should be the slogan that Microsoft should run with for the latest in its One Hit Wonder trilogy - Halo 3.
Now don't get me wrong. Halo was a good game, although a little over rated, and fulfilled itself as the only official X-Box game worth buying the console for (although it came out on PC! Bad move). It developed tactical shooting and developed a good fanbase for those interested in that kind of thing. It had satisfactory multiplayer content which was good solid fun but also applied the use of tactics like in the missions.
Then enter Halo 2. To increase Halo fanbase, they decided to dumb the game down for those who don't have the time for tactics and made the game just a full on shooter with limited tactics and cruddy weapons. Yes Halo 1s weapons were far superior.
And now Halo 3 which promises to be a rehash of Halo 2s style of gameplay to keep these gamers who don't like to think that much and just shoot (the types of gamers who thought Doom 3 and Prey were Gods Gift to Gaming) and still keep in pretty well the same style as Tribes only without the jetpacks. Plus the same repetitive nature of the game will drastically annoy fans of the original and soon enough people will just ignore Halo and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film.
Resistance is the Halo killer for this generation of gaming. No doubt about it.

If you are a surgeon then you need some Cerial surgery on your brain. Also, because I read your post, I will not be purchasing Halo 3. When my friends ask me why not, I will say: "I didnt buy halo 3 because i read a post on System Wars at Gamespot by Yo_foo" My friends will proceed to point and laugh at me in a Nelson Muntz way and say "Ha ha! You read forum posts posted by surgeons"

Halo 2 just couldn't live up to that and after looking at Halo 3 it looks the same as Halo 2 and frankly no body wants a carbon copy of Halo 2 or the original. something different please! :'(

Thats too much just in that sentence right there. How many PS3's has resistance sold again? If you are gonna bash Halo 3, please do so when it comes out, not when we don't have a good idea about it.

I know that you're going to be wrong, considering that Bungie has specifically said that Halo 3 will be more like Halo than Halo 2. But let's ignore that for now. After all, you will too.
How can you say that Halo was a 'one hit wonder' franchise when Halo 2 scored 9.4 here and won Best Multiplayer Game of the Year for 2004, averaged a review score at Gamerankings of 94.6, making it the 18th best reviewed game ever made, and sold over 6 million copies?

This is probably one of the simgle most dumb topics ever posted on this site.....
