Has bungie fooled us all?

Who cares? It's Halo. Shuttup, buy it, and be happy once you realize that it's still the most fun console shooter you can play.Michael85

and you'll be sad once you realize it's the only decent xbox 360 exclusive, and realize how generic of a FPS halo really is

The multiplayer looks fine in my opinion; it is functional and will probably result in a more stable online connection. I would rather have something that looks decent yet works than something that looks stunning but is laggy. As long as our single player looks up to par, I personally couldn't care less.

Must have brainwashed the millions of people that played it and made it the most popular xbox360 online game until GoW. And the millions that preordered it too. Maybe bungie should work for the CIA or something. Amazing.

i dont know about the single player campaign, but in online play it may definately surpass halo 3, mainly because of the mods that will become available.

COD4 will be the more generic shooter of the bunch. Not saying it's not fun and will definitely look fantastic, but come on original? No. Bioshock...is original, but it's a more of a FPS/RPG of sorts...hench adding to its originality.

UT3? Original...don't make me laugh.

HL best on PC...doesn't really go to consoles as well as Halo does. Halo is the best CONSOLE FPS. It does just about everything right.

Even the MP beta was more fun than gears MP (to me).

Was dual wielding an option in Halo CE?

If it was because it was the first FPS on xbox, then why didn't the other "first" games on xbox achieve the same results?

So all shooters should not be released until they are truly original. Never mind the different story lines. But COD4 is definitely less original than Halo if not for the story line alone. sure halo isn't mind breaking original in story line either, but it is an original universe where all this takes place.

Geesh, what do people want? FPS can only be so original, especially when it's the 3rd in a series.

Kind of like what real original RTS game is out there that is new? And it still has to be fun. Sure we can be original but it also needs to be fun.

How about GH2...that game must stink because it's so unoriginal. Geesh...some will find anything to bash halo.

People don't play a game for 3 years(halo 2) because they were foled into thinking it was good, they play because it was actually good. Just because you chose not to buy a 360 and can't play Halo 3 doesn't mean you have to bash it.

It seems like alot of you anti-Halo fanboys love to come in here and bash Halo 2. If you dont like it, suck at it or find the MP sluggish than thats fine. But millions disagree with you. Are you just sad Halo 3 is getting all this hype? Even if Halo 3 gets AA on gamespot here (which I highly doubt i think the lowest it gets is 9.0 based on this new scheme) and gets AA overall from the media, its still gonna be the most popular game of this fall whether you like it or not. You can debate all you want that you hate it but you can't debate its popularity.h575309

I honestly dont care. It doesnt effect my life one bit.

why the hate? damn dude you are going to have a terrible September and october arent you. watching everyone enjoying Halo and playing the damn game like it was the last game on earth.

hating on anything so much only makes your life less enjoyable. yes its just a video game, but I can imagine you in the next few months complaining about how Halo sucks and you don't understand why people like it.

Just let people enjoy the game and you enjoy whatever it is you like. UT3? do you like that game, if so godbless you and enjoy it. I'll wait for it on the 360 and enjoy that game and Halo.

:D

lol Halo. Theirs more interesting FPS games coming out that halo imo, Bioshock being one of them, coming very shortly.Haziqonfire

True and that was mentioned earlier. that's more of a FPS/RPG. Not exactly the same genre. But yes it's definitely more original as it's trying to be a FPS AND RPG at teh same time. Do you honestly think a 3rd installment in a series would be original?

And since when is originality all that matters in games? I know a bunch of original type games that suck.

Those are about as original as Halo is to FPS.The storey is different, but still it's about resources, and beating your opponent. See how easy it is to make things NOT be origal if you don't want them to be. But it's also just as easy to make them original. LIke Halo...it's the first game where you can dual wield and kill covenant. And you could play as the lead covenant character.

1) Supreme commander is the first RTS to use real Physics and a theatre of war from all angles, the maps are not simple grided.

2) World In Conflict , is not a resources gathering base builder, and there is no other RTS like it, which is great because its really fun.

Not only are you on damage control, you're drifting from the point i made. I said it's generic, decent, and doesnt do anything to improve itself. I dont care if people think it's fun. People think Runescape is fun. People think pong is fun. Doesnt change the fact that they suck.

and who cares about Killzone? What does that have to do with ANYTHING? That's one of the few hyped fps games out there that even makes Halo look amazing and original.

and you'll be sad once you realize it's the only decent xbox 360 exclusive, and realize how generic of a FPS halo really is

how is it generic? The story is original, and they've added tons of different aspects to this game that Halo 2 didn't have. Since when is a portable gravity lift generic? Since when is a bubble-shield generic? Since when is "The Forge" generic? Since when is it generic to launch players across the map? Grenades that shoot spikes? Energy degenerators/generators? 4 player online coop?

Find me a game with all of that and I'll agree that this game is generic. Otherwise, I think we can agree that you have no idea what you are talking about and you probably shouldn't post in any more Halo 3 threads until you do some reading.

Didn't you get the memo? Anyone that dislikes Halo or isn't amazed by it in every single way has to like Killzone, the same goes in reverse!

It's unpossible for someone to form an opinion on one without it positively or negatively effecting the other, isn't it awesome?!
