I will never play Halo 3 again...

After I beat it the first time I enjoyed it, but not enough so that I really wanted to play it again, so I just played multiplayer.

The multiplayer wore thin extremely quickly, and I didn't play it at all after the first week (less even).

I played the campaign quite a bit more with friends who didn't own 360's, because they wanted to finish the fight.

After all this I'm sick of this game; its good, but not deserving of its praise, not at all. Its a generic shooter, its coolest weapons take no skill to use, it suffers from generic level design, there is a huge amount of back tracking, the story was good, but rushed along far too quickly, and the whole game was as short as Gears of War.

Anywhere I go, all I hear is Halo 3 praise, and I'm completely sick of it.

I'm not going after 360; my 360 is my favorite console (although my SNES is my all time fave). It has its own games much better than Halo 3, it has Mass Effect, it has Call of Duty 4, it has Bioshock, its such a great system that focusing on one generic game does nothing but lower its standards.

I realise that I will get flamed for this non stop, as 360 fans are completely dedicated to Halo, and would likely give their lives to silence a single hater, which is why I will likely not pay much attention to responses.

There is no point in arguing with Lemms over this. I simply wanted to state my opinion and get on with it. I'll be playing Half Life 2 for a good portion of the night, as I hadn't beaten it in a few months, and wanted to give it some love again.

Big Red Button out, I love you all

Xbox = Needed Halo to survive. Xbox 360 = Doesn't need Halo to survive...but it helps.

Halo 3 is fun with the online co-op and forge, but it's not the only game I play. I still think it deserves the score it recieved, it is what it is and doesn't play like other games. Right now I'm playing the Unreal Tournament 3 beta demo more than anything. I won't compare them though, since the gameplay is SO much different and I appreciate each game for what it is.

you probly think the mp wears thin quickly because you arent any good at itbeast667

No, I think it wears thin because of the opposite.

I wasn't any good at Halo 2, but then I started Halo 3 and won most of my games, who knew?

I actually enjoy MP more when I lose a lot; it gives me a goal to work towards, so once I'm better I can go to the people who owned me before and stick it to them.

Yeah, I noticed that once I started playing online today at my friend's house. I totally sucked at Halo 2, but I kicked ass at Halo 3:?.

That sounds like you've got a psychological issue - enjoying games you suck at more than games you dominate at. Anyway, whatever. Sorry to hear you don;t like it, but you must realize you are in the minority. Sat. morning there were over 1 mil. online in Halo 3 alone. 1 mil.!!! That's ridiculuos andI for one am enjoying the ride. A game with this much popularity may only come around every decade or so.

Er yeah, Good for you.

I'm really enjoying the game, I beat it on Normal first then Heroic and now im playing on Legendary. Im not sick of the game at all.

I don't see why everyone that doesn't like Halo has to voice their opinion so much, Like we care; do you expect everyone to stop playing the game just because you don't like it?

ahahahaha my thoughts exactly! he probably hates halo because he's no good :p

It's actually quite common with hardcore gamers. Why the elite enjoy finding challenging opponents, because it's boring cleaning up scrubs.

No. Most people don't hate Halo. They just think (like myself) that there's a lot of better FPS and other games out there and that some people praise it way too much.

I honestly try to not get in to any 'flaming' threads, and try not to tell someone else that their opinions are wrong. But why is it that people feel the need to come on forums and tell people why a game sucks, or isn't fun, or is overhyped, etc. If you'd open your eyes, you would see many threads opened on this same subject. I'm not saying that your opinions are right or wrong, but by creating this thread again you are just wasting all of our time. If you are bored of Halo 3 or you no longer like it, that's fine. Move on to your next game, and trade your Halo 3 in. Do you really think we care about your thoughts on a game that clearly the majority of us still like? Not everybody wants to hear you whine.JannettyTRocker

To answer your first question: we are on system wars, it is full of derogatory comments about other games. If you don't like it then perhaps you are on the wrong forum.

To make an objection to your final statement: whining occurs all the time on this forum, everyone here seems to feed off it. Once again your choice of forum has been misplaced. Perhaps visit the 'General Discussion' forum where you can express your concern about the extensive whining in our competitive online community.

Exactly, id still rather play GeOW over Halo 3

Eh, I sort of agree. Halo 3 was overrated. I got tired of it, now all that's fun is, well, Forge mode, and Custom Games.

The game would be infinitely better if custom games were public and there was a server browser, I mean, I don't want to have to try to get everyone on my friends list together for the sole reason of playing a zombies game, every day... it's a pain, I'd just like to jump into one.

I actually like Halo 3 alot, but the Halo effect has definitely worn off...

Halo 1>>> Halo 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Halo2 IMO

The Orange Box

has better Single player and

Better Multiplayer.

I bet you will TC :P .

The typical "You don't like Halo, therefore you must suck at it" response.
