apparently the millions of people who bought COD4...i'm not saying i prefer realistic shooters, i'll take R2 and Halo 3 over CoD games anyday, but most developers are aiming to stay in the realm of realism nowadays

The **** is this?

:lol:

I wish I could send you a million cookies right now. Atleast someone else on this site is smart.

Saying COD4 is realistic is like saying Madden is a golf game.

guns are heavy, most people can't just whip them around

then again...halo isn't exactly realistic

because the aiming controls are actually fast.

I played the FPS's for PS3 including the new one, but the aiming was just so slow, even on maximum seinsitivity.

Call of Duty 4 is better than Halo 3. And I'm not even mentioning Killzone 2.

Even though it wasn't my fav FPS, it has one of the best communities.

halo's 3 multiplayer fails pretty badly, might be good on pc one day if they release map editor map ur own maps.

single player is alright, but story sucks.

There are many more reasons. But Halo 3 is by far the best console shooter this gen.

How it only scored .5 above killzone 2 is beyond me, there is such a huge difference in the two.

personally i find halo 3 very overrated. I just do not find it that fun. I only play when i'm with my friends. I just don't like how "floaty" everything feels. guns fell like nerf guns because of the impact, do not like the floaty jumping, nor the fact that it takes a full clip to take anyone down (or a half clip and a melee). I do agree that weapons are balanced and skilled players are commendable. Basically the Halo style doesn't suit me.

My favorite FPS (multiplayerwise) this gen would have to be either TF2 or KZ2.

I think Halo 3 is a real accomplishment in game design. There's just so much to do in the game. I'd be hard-pressed to find a single game that gives the player as much to do and explore. You can play the campaign solo or with up to 3 other players. There's also the campaign scoring with modifiers (skulls). Forge, theatre, highly customizable multiplayer where you can capture full 3d video clips and snapshots of gameplay. Not to mention the ability to create your own game types and share with the rest of the community.

Its excellence doesn't come from graphics, although it's nothing to sniff at.... the strength of the title for me is in its variety and polish.

I guess it really stings ps3fanboys that HALO 3 is beating killzone 2 in all reviews. gamerankings and metacritic have HALO 3 up by +.6 points, .6 may not seem much, but there are other FPS games that are between the Halo 3 score and killzone. Personally i'de rather take gamerankings or metacritic reviews rather than taking any of the hysterical ps3 fanboys advice anytime.

Weapons are heavy?

That was the retard statement of the day. If 7lbs is heavy to you....that's about how much an M16 weighs. 7lbs. And M4....lol. Unless you are carrying a huge LMG around with you, then no, you are not going to struggle "whipping" that thing around.

The reason Halo 3 is my favorite FPS this gen?

The weapons and vehicles are balanced. A skilled player always wins. There's no god mode anything. It makes online awesome.

Not to mention the community is huge, and come time for Halo ODST that number will get bigger.

treedoor

i agree, except with balanced weapons. there's a reason for why people usually stays with BR's and don't use plasma pistols, plasma rifle and spiker. they suck.

because the aiming controls are actually fast.

halo 2/3 shotgun royally sucks compared to the first one.

You can rocket jump with the brute shot weapon in halo 3 the mortar launcher/grenade type crap press jump/fire straight at ground sametime, actually gains you alittle height on ur jump.

one thing better about halo 3 than halo 1 though is bubbleshield or physics in multiplayer and the jump pads that launch vehicles and the new atv and added turbo boost.

halo 3's weapons suck though except the brute shot.

the battle rifle is cool idea basically assault rifle with a scope first appeared in halo 2 but i hate how it's like 3 shot burst would be cooler if fully automatic.

should just turn assault/battle rifle into 1 gun.

plus halo 1 pistol has a scope lol, halo 1/2 none.

halo 3 has weapons from halo 1/2 but i think the weapons that first appeared in halo 1 and then halo 2/3 i think they modeled best in halo 1 like shotgun.

the new weapons i dont really like at all, except maybe spike grenade or spartan laser?

I just wish they put more emphasis on the campaign. The first Halo had a really great campaign that I played through dozens of times with friends. But none of the levels in the new campaign really stood out to me.darkmoney52

There's one thing you're forgetting. The battle rifle doesn't win every round, the sniper doesn't, the rocket launcher doesn't. Skill is the leading factor in which team wins in Halo 3's online. I'm not saying the spiker has a chance against the battle rifle, but the battle rifle certainly doesn't spell victory. I personally use the spiker, and plasma pistols a lot. I mean c'mon, the plasma pistol can take banshees outta the sky, and that right there makes up for it's weaknesses.

I keep finding the same complaints in other games, and that is "Oh, the sniper dominates this map", or "shotgun campers galore", and bad stuff like that. In Halo 3 that doesn't happen.

I still think TF2 and the original Resistance are the best console FPS games this gen...in terms of multiplayer anyway. CoD4 is good but its too easy. Halo 3 is a joke.

personally i find halo 3 very overrated. I just do not find it that fun. I only play when i'm with my friends. I just don't like how "floaty" everything feels. guns fell like nerf guns because of the impact, do not like the floaty jumping, nor the fact that it takes a full clip to take anyone down (or a half clip and a melee). I do agree that weapons are balanced and skilled players are commendable. Basically the Halo style doesn't suit me.

My favorite FPS (multiplayerwise) this gen would have to be either TF2 or KZ2.

swamplord666

It does not take a full clip to take someone down. Grab a BR, four shots to the head. You're a nub who uses the AR? It only takes about half a clip to the head. Then again, people don't have aim so I won't blame you for thinking it takes a full clip to kill someone.

Learn how to play a game instead of bashing it because you suck. I hate when people do that. The game isn't bad, you are.

Both Halo 3 and KZ 2 are overrated generic FPSs tbh. If they were multi-plat but exactly the same, they would be rated much lower.Tykain
