[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Bungie had the money, resources, and man power to do both at an excellent level. They also had all the hype in the world, and a die hard fanbase.
There is no excuse to putting out something not as strong. Did they make a bad game? hell no Halo 3 is a very good game that gets too much hate on this forum(the series does as a whole) but the campaign was a major missed opporunity. They could have immortalized Chief and Halo for something more than just insane hype and awesome multiplayer.
Luckily Reach looks fun, but I'm going to take a line from Gertsmann. Halo 3 had the characters I want to play as and have around in a Halo game. Reach is just a potential kickass spinoff(that so far looks set to take a dump on the main trilogy).

Now, Halo 3's suddenly a flop? They got 3 years, they did what they did.
There is not a developer, which, in 3 years, creates a game containing both a literally excellent campaign and MP. But Bungie almost did that.
Did you fail reading comprehension or something? Where the hell did I say Halo 3 flopped? I said that the campaign was far from excellent. The multiplayer is worthy of the triple-A praise, but the campaign isn't. If you are going to do both a Campaign and a Multiplayer I don't expect anything short of excellence(especially when the first game in the trilogy is excellent in the single player department) on both sides. Halo 3 is and has never been a bad game to me. I just thought they screwed up with the campaign. Reach looks like it can be the best of both worlds. A kickass campaign, and an awesome multiplayer. After all those features don't mean anything if they aren't good, and the campaign of a game should be one of those things that should be good.People keep prasing Bungie for dev-ing some good multiplayer in Halo 3 - which it is...but there's plenty of luck involved. Look at Cod4 and IW, then they throw loads of money at it's sequel, trying to make the perfect multiplay and it sucks, big time, far worse than it's predecessor.
