I've never been a fan of halo, and the best proof that is' medicore is simply:
Halo 2 went from 9.4 on the xbox to a 7.0 on the PC (released less than a year apart). Clearly halo doesn't hold up as well as people like to think.
darkslider99
It was released more than three years later. There was little to no graphical improvement to the game, and were lackluster by the standards of the PC at the time. In addition, those that used controllers had a distinct advantage online due to auto-aim. It was a bad port of a 3 year old game, plain and simple.

Halo 3 has sold more copies than any other current gen console game, it scored a 9.5 -- and you say it flopped?!?

I'm not even all that crazy about Halo 3, but saying it flopped is just blatent, pathetic, ignorant fanboyism at it's finest .

It does't matter if you liked the game or not, it in no way shape or form flopped.

It's not a flop, even if all the lems think it's crap. It got a 9.5 and plenty of other good reviews from other sources, and despite what you, me, and a bunch of other people think, it's a AAA title.

Errr... 9.5? And the fastest selling piece of media of all time?

The ONLY thing you can say it flopped at is GS Best of 2007, because it got no awards. Or i guess GOTY in general, the only place that I know of that gave it GOTY is Time Magazine. (and theyz noes count caus they is no harcorz gamr)

Nope.

It has between 800'000 and 900'000 unique users every 24 hours.

300'000 people is at any one time.

Lemmings now have more shooters to pick from on Xbox and realize games like COD4 and Half-Life Orange Box are far better products.

The__MCP

But then why is it by far the most played game on Live, even to this day??

I don't care what score it received, no one even talks about it anymore.

Lemmings now have more shooters to pick from on Xbox and realize games like COD4 and Half-Life Orange Box are far better products.

Hermits have been telling you this for ages but you never listened. Compared to other shooters on the market, Halo was meh. Halo 1 was the introduction to the shooter genre for many lemmings and thus they put it on a pedestal it never deserved. Now that you've had a chance to play other good games in the genre, do you finally admit Halo 3 is a flop?

It's on 90% of the overrated lists whether they be published by Gamespot, 1UP, or some message board. It's already replaced in player population on Xbox Live by COD4. Bioshock received far more GOTY awards for its crazy single-player experience. People are talking more about Battlefield: Bad Company, Gears of War 2, Haze, Killzone 2, Far Cry 2, and other highly anticipated future shooters.

Microsoft is more interested in Halo spin-offs than the actual Halo shooter experience now.

Come on... admit it.... Halo 3 flopped? 8)

very weak argument. halo 3 in no way flopped. get over it.

If halo 3 is a flop, COD4 is surely a flop too? Seeing as it has a shorter single player campaign, none of the extra features like file share, custom game types, forge and saved films, and has what is possibly the most derivative multiplayer ever made.

Halo 3 is great. Get over it.

You are either really grasping for straws or your trying to start a flame war. Here is the thing. Thousands if not millions of people play Halo 3 everyday. So no its not a flop in score and in sales. The game got what it deserves. Its a great game. The question is TC will you finally admit that Halo 3 is not a flop?

Its a quality title.

Through and through.

If other games were made with such attention to detail they would all be AAA titles.

Having to slog through the complete garbage COD4 campaign and the dated gameplay/scenario design of Half Life 2 only made me appreciate Halo 3 more.

So yeah; straight port to another machine which is anticipating a slurry of next-gen shooters, three years after original release.

I'd say your post is pretty much 100% wrong. :?

I think fanboys have decided that anything with Halo in it will be bad and overrated.

Halo Series - Bad/Overrated

Halo Wars - Bad

Halo Chronicles - Flop/Bad

Lego Halo - Milkage (It's not even hapenning!)

Indeed it is...For some reason, don't ask me why... upon gazing on the release dates I thought they were a year apart...I willingly accept my major self ownage...Except one point. It does show how badly Halo holds up though. 3 years, yes, drastic drop in score. But Several remakes of games from the golden days are still considered extremely enjoyable.

Then you don't care about facts. The game was hyped AAA and scored AAA meaning that the game didn't flop. Fact > Opinion. Your thread has no ground to stand on.

People around here don't seem to realize that the term "flop" refers to score here in System Wars. It's even in the System Wars information thread.
