Halo 3 will have the biggest launch in gaming history.
You are a herring against a tidal wave.
Another problem with Halo 3 hype is all the people hyping it ever talk about is how much copies its going to sell and how many consoles its going to sell and how its going to boost the 360 Sad thing is they rarely if EVER mention the gameplay. The hype is all about sales and in other words, MONEY Typing this on the PS3 BTW. Internet browser FTW!DarthaPerkinjan
Halo's gameplay has always been fun.
Yes I admit that the SP in H2 fell flat on its face, but the MP was absolutely excellent, and Halo 3 looks to improve upon it, AND make the campaign excellent as well.
I see no reason not to hype it: both of its predeccessors were AAA on this site, and are generally considered to be great games.
I don't see why there are so many Halo haters: there are far worse series to hate on, and the Halo series is pretty good overall.
"It's nowhere near Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Gran Turismo 1 and the original Halo in terms of raising the bar in gaming."
Umm, you finished the game already? Niiice. There are many things we still don't know about Halo 3's campaign; let's hold our judgement until it's been released and we've played it.

Halo speaks for itself in terms of gameplay.

Halo is overrated
Sorry, it's massive everywhere.
People are even complaining here in New Zealand that we're not getting enough Legendary Editions allocated to our country.
Are you mad that halo is amazing?
And youre using the ps3 internet browser because you dont have any games to play.
I never understood Halo, personally. I played it a few months ago and the game, while a decent experience, was rather lacking. It didn't even have the atmosphere that Killzone had (there, I said it!) and the level design was so incredibly boring, I was actually laughing at the thought of how well received this game was. I don't understand how a game can get a 9.7 or whatever by recycling the same rooms for an hour.
Halo 3 will probably be a fun game simply due to the four-player co-op, and in that I may purchase it, but the series gets way more hype than it deserves.
All this Halo 3 hype is driving me up the wall. Post your hate of all the hype here. For the amount of hype its getting you'd think it was this rare first of a kind game that is going to change gaming forever. But you look a little closer and it's just an improved Halo game. It's nowhere near Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Gran Turismo 1 and the original Halo in terms of raising the bar in gaming. So why is it getting hyped out of this world? To sell consoles. That's the only reason. Reviewers are already saying it plays very similiar to Halo 2 and it appears Bungie is not trying to change too much to keep the original audience happy. I'm so tired of all the "Halo is coming!!11!1!" threads. There is nothing spectaular about Halo 3. It's just another sequel. It doesn't revolutionize it's genre, nor does it raise the bar of gaming. All this hype is created by Microsoft. It's artificial. True gamers are not caught up in it. LBP is the only game I know of that deserves that kind of hypeDarthaPerkinjan
Hype? Theres been triple the amount of hate as there is hype.
Id say Forge, File sharing, Saved Films and more raises the bar of console FPS games.
The hype for the game isn't really that bad this time around, really. The advertising is about in line with everything else, and people are just saying 'oh yeah, Halo's coming soon' in the same tone of voice you'd hear them mention the next Phoenix Wright game or something.Makari
not that bad. they have halo Mountain Dew and Doritos, a halo themed system coming out just for the game, 2 different halo artwork themed wireless controllers that cost $60 instead of the normal $50, a halo colored wireless headset, 3 versions of the same game, one costing $130 freaking dollars because it comes with a toy helmet. plus the McFarlin toy figures, a statue of master chief, no doubt t-shirts, and other clothes, no to mention all the banners and signs. this is almost as big as when Spider-man 3 was released.

You forgot the Halo Zune. :rolls eyes:
the hype for this game is just for all the wrong reasons. its just lemmings trying to boost there console by using the only game that they have. if you think that halo 3 is worth the hype then you have nt played proper pc fps. there are games that would blow halo and its spin offs to smithereens.
i have played halo and halo 2 for that matter and they were all pretty much generic shooters. yes the mp was fun but that was only because there was nothing like that on the xbox. just because the xbox has a good shooter it doesnt mean that all the other shooters are crap and that halo is the best.
please get a proper gaming opinion which you can acquire if you only play games from other consoles as well.
i just cant wait till its over and we have a rating for the game. although then we'll have one side saying i told you so and the other getting mad. and im hoping its the haters getting to yell at the fanboys. get mad at me, call me a flamer, but nothing would make me happier right now then to see that game flop in the ratings. yea it'll be the #1 selling console game of all time no matter what, but all i want is just an honest 7.5 from the reviews to shut the fanboys up.azshorty2003
yes thats whatit should get but im sure that the reviews will give it a 9 atleastjust so that the lemmings are satisfied. they are way too imature and they will go on a flaming troll run burning and messing everything up. but gamespot doesnt have the balls to do that.oh i just wish.
btw these topics are far too useless. it is always overwhelmed by the lemmings. i mean they never listen to any creative and usefull arguments and they just overwhelm you with their sheer numbers.
i know im going to be flamed badly for this but i guess it lowered my bp a bit so it was well worth it.
*steps back to let the lemmings tear things up*

If you honestly think that (in bold)you're nuts. Saying Halo 3 is all the 360 has is just hatin'but the hype is a bit much.

Doesn't matter how tired you are, you'll only have to stand it for a few weeks longer or better yet, just stop coming to System Wars until Halo 3 is released.Aznsilvrboy
your forgetting about the halo review aftermath..bound to be tons of threads about days if not weeks after its review
