Halo 3 A Huge Disappointment.

oh actually buddy boy. im sorry i probrably spend maybe 5 hours a week playing video games. i have a life. i save animals lives for a living. i go to school. i dont sit at home and have time to play a game just to point out its negative areas. no game is perfect. you people hype up a game and expect perfection. no game is perfect if you think so then your an idiot. there will be hater s and there will be die hard fans. i honestly thought the only good halo was the first one. but the 3rd was not bad. you point out all the problems that everyone else points out. get off the bandwagon and move on. its been a year.honestly wait until gears or fable comes out i hope your not going to be one of those who bash those too. oh and the part about bungies balls in my mouth.then they must have there shaft in your A$$ because your the only one complaining. so i will say stuff to hurt the dumb.your one of those people who like to antagonise the forums and the responders. just to get your jollies offpatrickhorta87

Look, there is always going to be 50% of the population that completely hates something, and another 50% of the population that absolutely loves something. This applies to everything, some in more quantities than others, and some that loves something more than hates something. You should know that people have their different opinions, and he has every right to rant and antagonise the hell out of whatever he wants.

Now as soon as you start arguing someone else because of their opinions on a topic such as this, that's when you've crossed the line.

Hmmm other than the fact that me and my friends still play single player, with all the skulls turned on, and playing to see who can get a higher score from the start to the finish? yea we done gone passed 12 hrs of single, heck we may have been broken 250 hrs barrier at this point, thats when were not playin the horrid multipayer for Gears (hopefully 2 will be better) or CoD4, yea i enjoy the game very much, im getting WAYYYYY more out of my 60 bucks, that you obviously are, and im not just focusing on single player, Forge was an EXCELLENT addition, i play Multiplayer juss as much as Single, but thats when more of my friends wanna play and we wanna go teams online, etc etc etc.

by the way if u gettin rid of the helmet, send it my way, it'll be a FINE addition to my collection

as for single player... what MORE do you want? it was the END of this trilogy, the Aribiter's role was finished, he was nessecary for the downfall of the covenat, what more could he be involved with? the game was Master Chief's Spotlight anyways, the Flood ran rampant once again, and posed a serious threat, and the covenant was thru, so basically and the loose ends were being tied up, what more could have been done? you tell me since you seem to be teeming with ideas for it, o and dont try and say, that u juss go from point A to B, watch a cut-scene here and there, shoot people, ride a vehicle, shoot some more, REPEAT, because they were ALL like that

Good to know that theres ways to innovate single player campaign on your own. I'll probably give the skull thing a try too. But your right, playing with a friend makes the campaign so much more tolerable. I could stand those linear inside of someone's stomach levels, but with a friend I can at least try to assassinate him or something for fun, and break out with a dual in the middle of battle to mix things up.

Anyways to answer your question. I was disappointed with Bungie for not putting in the effor to make Halo 3 the best Halo in the series. Single player campaign is the reason, and thats where I see the lack of effort. I mainly thought about Half life 2 and Half life 1 in comparison. Half life is one of the greatest shooters ever. But Half life 2 took that game, made it bigger, introduced a contingent but ambitious story, and add so many Innovative features (the gravity gun is innovative). Granted Halo 3 had to wrap things up, but I expect Bungie to at least polish the last action campaign very well if they're going to stick with a simple and straight ending to the series. Think Gears of War and how well single player came off even though there was absolutely no story. Halo 3 was going to be great as long as Bungie did that.

I think halo 3 campaign did nothing of that sort. The game picked up very slowly, and the first three hours you play contributes nothing to the story. Who cares if you need to escape a freakin forest and escort marines onto planes. This is the last game in the most anticipated series: the world is about to blow up, we need to stop truth. Being so anti-climatic in a game shows poor game design, and these developers had no idea on how to string together story progression.

The Halo 3 story made no sense in its context. Think about how the story ends, you activate a halo to destroy the local Flood. Why? Because the flood crashed into Earth. Bungie must have thought that this was the most important action sequence, because the entire plot Halo 2 built up, that is what should have been the main focus, actually finished in the middle of the game. Imagine this, your watching an action movie, its 2 hours long, and they've beat the villain and saved the world in an hour. What do you do for the last hour, well, lets make a sub plot that make it seem like the world was in danger AGAIN, and make the hero rescue it again! This is horrendous story writing. I could puke on Halo 3 Writters right now.

People like you are getting annoying, seriously its frikkin annoying. Don't like Halo 3? Fine. There are many people that feel Halo 3 is the best Halo ever, there are many that don't. I honestly think people like you need to shut the heck up about this by now. Friends that I didn't see since JUNIOR HIGH are recommending me to "finish the fight."

2/3 of my friendslist play that game everyday. I glimpsed at your "nerd" argument with a Halo 3 fan, and I now think that you nothing more than a coward hiding behind the internet.

A bit late to this aren't you?

Anyway, I wouldn't say it's a bad game, it is good, but it didn't warrant a replay and I didn't feel it necessary to play the online MP.

ROFL, what the, what do you have up your ass. Did i touch a sensitive subject. Buaahaha, you people crack me up the most. Its like this, you really cant stand anyone saying anything about any game you like. Even if you agree with it, you still cant stand it.

Its funny because this is systems wars, and now I know exactly how to start a flame war. Point out the obviously bad aspects and fanboys will still bust a nut of it. This guy above is ridiculous.

2/3 of your friends play that game everyday? And you're making the nerd arguement against me? you said 'friends that I didnt see since junior high are recommending me to 'finish the fight'' wow, so you actually love this game so much that you're incoporating lame catch phrases into your speech. Whos the dork dork.

I really dont mind taking apart beavers like you. Everything you say is so stupid that its just fun to watch you fall apart.

A bit late to this aren't you?

Anyway, I wouldn't say it's a bad game, it is good, but it didn't warrant a replay and I didn't feel it necessary to play the online MP.

fkholmes

yeh i am, just got a 360 so I recently got to playing halo 3.

I wouldnt say its a bad game either, multiplayer makes up for everything. Single player doesnt warrant a replay but multiplayer is where its at. Give it a try I'd say.

Halo 3 mutliplayer is a whole lot of fun. Different game types and maps that are very enjoyable. Plus forge and theatre are awesome. Also with the ability to download other players maps and gametypes off bungie's website and play them with your friends is sweet.Ghost_702

yeh dude I love forge too. Best addition to Halo 3 I think.

Someone let the hype get to them. Blame yourself, not the game.vashkey

kinda true, but dude its Halo 3, hype was part of the game itself.

oh no the gamespot security guard. dude let him rant because people are going to make him feel stupid.

Make me feel stupid? So are you gonna be the one to do that? Who cares what you think?. Anyway Halo3 the game is the #1 game on Xbox live right now, so explain to me how it's a disappointment for millions of people, and if you think this thread is cool then maybe you missed the 80 similar ones like it

well if you were intelligent enoguh to read what i said. I said make the Tc feel stupid.

I was a Halo fan since the first game, and now im throwing away the helmet. Halo 3 is the biggest let down to one of the best series.

Halo 1 was named combat evolved, and it delivered everything its name promised. It was the first great console shooter in my opinion, had everything from a good single player campaign, multiplayer and the visuals to match.

Halo 2 kept this up with better multiplayer features, dual welding, improved graphics on the same hardware, and still a very decent single player campaign. It introduced the arbitor and let you in on his story. Very cool indeed.

Halo 3 did not match up to the first two games in any aspect. Single player campaign is abysmal. There are only a few good missions, and you can name them on your first three fingers. For every other mission, it was basically, find this, get to this point, and watch the cutscene so the story can progress. They made an entire mission on helping allied soldier escape?!! This is Halo 3, ther universe is about to explode. Where did story progression go? Did Bungie developers sudddenly catch down syndrome?

There were so many opportunities for Halo 3 to be a good game, and Bungie failed to catch any of them. What the hell happened to the arbitor. Bungie introduced the coolest character next to master chief and just abandonned it. They could have easily diversified game play and expand on the story. There are no other compelling characters other than cortana and truth, and truth isnt even focused on until he dies.

The new combat features are pathetic, the only cool feature is ripping a turret off. And this is suppose to make up for a covoluted story, poor level design and horrible graphics? There were portions of the game where I really thought I was playing halo 2 again. There were improvements in lighting and character modeling, but they're ruined by horrible jaggness. Halo 3 released in 2007! Alongside Gears of War!

Multiplayer and the forge is Halo 3's only saving grace. But this is not excusable. Bungie should have just charged 30 dollars for a new multiplayer halo game.

Edit: Hopefully you didnt get sucked into fanfarism, and realize that I was comparing Halo 3 with its predecessors and saying how the campaign failed in comparison.

This is Halo 3, ther universe is about to explode. Where did story progression go? Did Bungie developers sudddenly catch down syndrome?

There were so many opportunities for Halo 3 to be a good game, and Bungie failed to catch any of them. What the hell happened to the arbitor. Bungie introduced the coolest character next to master chief and just abandonned it. They could have easily diversified game play and expand on the story. There are no other compelling characters other than cortana and truth, and truth isnt even focused on until he dies.

The new combat features are pathetic, the only cool feature is ripping a turret off. And this is suppose to make up for a covoluted story, poor level design and horrible graphics? There were portions of the game where I really thought I was playing halo 2 again. There were improvements in lighting and character modeling, but they're ruined by horrible jaggness. Halo 3 released in 2007! Alongside Gears of War!

Multiplayer and the forge is Halo 3's only saving grace. But this is not excusable. Bungie should have just charged 30 dollars for a new multiplayer halo game.

Edit: Hopefully you didnt get sucked into fanfarism, and realize that I was comparing Halo 3 with its predecessors and saying how the campaign failed in comparison.

Is it just me or should this genius have said this OVER A YEAR AGO when the game came out? Really the time for people expressing their hatred of Halo 3 is past. Cry about a new game will ya.

[QUOTE="insomniac_loser"]opinions, opinionswile315

indeed, plus this topic has been done over more than "insert pron star"

Not really.

Halo 3 had poor level design compared to the first two series.

Halo 3 had more generic levels than the previous games.

Halo 3 single player campaign offered less diversity than the previous two games.

The graphics is my opinion, but honestly does no one else see how jagged the game looks?

wrong on so many levels...:roll:

I was very disappointed in the Halo 3 story because there are some severe logical flaws or at least gaps that require a bit of suspended disbelief or lack of caring to accept the story as "finishing the fight". And I was not a huge fan of some of the levels, but that is always the case. Would you say that the Library had good level design? Or what about 343 Guilty Spark? That one was fun, but the level was just as confusing as Cortana in Halo 3. As for spending an entire level helping soldiers escape, didn't we spend an entire level of Halo CE (Truth and Reconciliation) saving Captain Keyes just to have him turned into Flood later in the game? Don't get me wrong, I really like that level up until you actually had to escort Keyes out of the ship. But every Halo game, and most FPS games for that matter, only amount to "find this, get to this point, and watch the cutscene so the story can progress." What more was included in the previous games? The difference is in how it is presented.

For the story, Halo CE was by far the best of all of them, and I still play that campaign fairly regularly. For Halo 3, I wish they had paid more attention to the details in the story, and allowed for 4-player coop on a single console. But that is about the only change needed. It was a very good game, but the story left me disappointed.

I think you can do 4 player co-op, i suggest you go and try b/c there is 4 slots in the player sign in menu

[QUOTE="vashkey"]Someone let the hype get to them. Blame yourself, not the game.wile315

kinda true, but dude its Halo 3, hype was part of the game itself.

ahaha I think TC is just mad because he can't complain on the game as much as he can complain here...WELL GUESS WHAT ..I've watched this show before and the reruns are getting really old....

FACT: Halo UNO, was the best FPS of its time.

Halo 2 one of the more highly anticipated titles of its day. It delivered a new graphics engine with new features.

Halo 3 revolutionalized the series along with FPS's in general by delivering an incredible media sharing system(theatre, file share on bungie.net) also presented a better graphics engine that was actually up to par with the hardware. Storyline was engaging and incorporated the new four player coop. The multiplayer provided much more flexibility and accessibility in terms of variance, gameplay, and map design. DLC, support, and updates in Halo 3 all are an unprescadented step in the series poviding more depth and continual interest.

IMO: Halo 1 was a great game at a time when I didn't have an xbox (had PS2) played the game, wished I would of bought an xbox

Halo 2 came out and I had an xbox initially was a great game, but the hardware could not keep up with the game(a lot of frame rate issues, and texture resolutions wouldn't pop in right away. For me I lost interest really quick especially when there were a lot of better games out. (KOTOR 2, TC:Splinter Cell, GTA:SA.....)

Halo 3 is the best, brought me back to the series. Was really impressed with the theatre and media sharing. Story was good(not great) the hardware was finally sufficient enough to handle the graphics(I think they could've made some of the environments look better) Multiplayer seems to be more diverse and DLC is far better than Halo 2's DLC.

There are four slots, and you can have four players on one console in matchmaking, but only two per console in campaign. It doesn't make any sense to me, but that is how it is.
