Halo 3 fuss

I think that the big fuss is that the Halo series is a gateway game. It connects gamers and non-gamers together in the onlince scene, with a great game that will be played for many years. It was so popular because it appealed to mass market consumers, and wasn't just a lame casual game that other developers try to expand the market with.under_achiever

tbh I see no connection at all that it can make.. really gears of war or WoW is much more popular and they got there without huge budget on commercial revenue, or maybe I dont get what you are trying to say.. whatever it is just another awesome fps nothing else but why all the fuss again? and maybe because of seing all the posters on the streets and commercials on TV you got the idea of connecting gamers with "the rest".

I think the Halo fuss will die down quicker than most may have anticipated. I'm already over it. Honestly, I've been looking foward to COD4 more than I ever was looking foward to Halo. I don't think Halo 3 even came close to living up to the hype.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it does it make a noise?YourLastDay86

Man I hate when people use that one. The actual real life scientific answer, though, is that it makes a sound wave, not a sound. Yay science.

What I was trying to say is that this game was a little more overhyped than others, so that people who aren't tapped into gaming related news would know about it. I'm sure that many people were anticipating this game for a long time, but many people weren't even aware that it was coming out until a few weeks before its release, and only then, because of the commercials. My father is a good example as he just found out about the game the day before its release because of one of the model commercials. I'm not saying that it wasn't hyped normaly, just that as a game that appeals to all types of people, it had to be marketed as such.
