After 2of themif people thought it was average they wouldn't hype it this much, people still play it online after nearly 3 years, and everytime I turn around the only game I see you people call overrated is Halo.Just face it that your mad that the hype of Halo overshadows whatever your favorite game is and that if it was so overrated people wouldn't play it for so long.

Halo 3 is overhyped.. I loved Halo and Halo 2, and I'm sure Halo 3 is going to be a an awesome game, but that doesn't change the fact that it still gets more attention then it really should.

Please explain why because the way I see it is if that many people wanna hype it as their most anticipated game then that speaks for itself.

I think Halo 3 is overhyped right now, I never liked the first two, but what looks really bad about Halo 3 is that there is so little new. The characters, the levels, and most of all the gameplay, they all look recycled.

Don't hype MGS4, FFXIII, Killzone 2, SMG, or SSBB then because none of those are improving any more than Halo 3 is.

Then by your logic, no game is ever overhyped. :roll: Halo is a great series and I have no doubts Halo 3 will be a great game, but there are other games worth hyping. But since Halo is so popular these other potentially great games get over shadowed, and thus don't get the attention they deserve. Like I said, Halo 3 gets too much attention, to the point where I wouldn't be shocked if Microsoft tried to announce a Halo "holiday" or something. I mean it's just a game, not the second coming of Christ.

Halo 3 - recycled! hahahahahahaha

Oh I suppose your only a nine year kid, remember this, big the kids actually know real facts. Every 'halo'has different features. That make it get up the charts and stay there. Not to mention the Ratings: 9.5-10.0

Dont speak if you dont know kid, plus youve probaly neva actually played both the games. What do I hear comin out of your mouth:

Blabba Blabba blaba blab blabbbaa blabba.

Dont speak on "much more sofistecated topics". If youre smart. well i wont hear from you...

it's MS greatest game crushn all games on all consoles, andthats purely wat i believe, not a fact. Sothat meansyou cant backfire on wat i said.

Chutup. How can you call ANYONE "kid" with that sort of litteracy?

Seriously, when you compare any of the Halo games to Half Life 2, it falls flat on its face. Halo 3, will fall flat on its face compared to HL2.

Halo is so generic its unbelievable how much hype it gets. Oh well, Im sure itll get a 9+ rating on GS, and im sure millions will buy it and say how amazing it is.

You're not really a good example for that "kid", especially with your crappy grammar. Do you honestly think he is going to take you seriously if he, the "nine year-old kid", has better grammar than you have?

Furthermore, all you said is that every Halo game has different features. Why not elaborate a bit more and give some examples? Otherwise, "don't speak if you don't know, kid".

You're not helping anybody by acting all immature. It only makes you yourself look dumb. Anyways, a lot of kids play Halo. Pretty much every middle school kid at my school had Halo on their Mac laptops for example.

I advise you to follow your own advice and not post on topics that are obviously too sophisticated for you. So if you're smart, I won't hear from you.

just to add a little dash of chaos into a mixture already rife with confusion and ignorance, i will say this;

Killzone 2 makes Halo 3 look like a candy-coated run-and-gun for preschoolers with ADD and a caffiene buzz. Games on PS3 are real games, for real men, not some kiddy frag-fest that would be unplayable if it weren't for the ungodly amounts of auto-aim they have to include because control pads (especially 360's)are cumbersome and unwieldy.

So in conclusion; Real men own ps3's and play Resistance - so give your 360 to your little sister or something. Get her that stupid game with the stuffed animals in it or whatever. Peace.

Wow that was a really stupid post.You wanna try a "real mans" shooter try Vegas or GRAW 2, see how long you last buddy.

Well, hype really has very little to do with quality but instead popularity. Halo is mainstream and very successful, with two good games. Does this mean it's not hyped too much? No, I've heard people hype it as the best shooter there will be this gen. Just like Halo 1 and 2 were hyped and credited as being the best shooters when they came out. The you have to realize that hype is usually based on someones own opinion of a game, meaning if someone hypes it more then you think it should be it's overhyped. And underhyped if you switch the point of view around. Boy did I explain this poorly. I'll sum it up......hype has no bearing on quality. It's only an opinion on the quality of a game that has yet to launch which can be disagreed with. Meaning games can be underhyped and overhyped depending on your opinion and who you talk to.

Theres tons of better platformers than Mario ... yet they go unoticed? Am I mad? no? I just laugh at over-marketed games that recieve mass ammounts of idolizing.

Crysis ... is it perfect? no? is it different? yes , will it sell more than Halo 3? no. do I care? NO.

Do I find it funny watching 200% speed Halo 3 where nobody can hit eachother due to craptastic anolog sticks. YES :lol:
