Halo 3 haters, what did you expect?

Really everyone says halo 3 was overrated and a dissapointment but really what were you expecting? I mean its online is very similar to halo 2 but really isn't that what they were going for? I just don't understand what was so awful about it, I mean sure the campaign is kinda boring, but its no worse then halo 2's, and forge and theatre are cool features, so really what were you expecting from halo 3 that wouldn't have made it overrated?

I personly think halo 3 is okay, not as good as the second, sure forge and the movie maker are good perks but I am looking for gameplay and halo 2 wins in that field

What was I expecting?

An epic ending to the triology! Instead Halo 3 delivered some of the worst dialogue to date for any video game along with a horrible conclussion that makes no sense. Nothing was explained. There are more holes in Halo's story than a sponge.

Halo 3 is by far one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history.

Halo:CE is a xbox classic. Now why the hell are we still talking about this game? I was expecting an ENDING to the end of a trilogy,seriously.

well you must have liked something about them...or you wouldnt have played them? or you never have played them and you are just saying that because you are mad because you didnt play them. and if so stopping making trashing it and play the trilogy. Halo is an awesome series. and Halo 3 is a great game. All the people that say its trash is people that OVERhyped the crap out of it. Or they really suck at the game. Im a brigadier lv 2. and i still love the game. Also Love the COD 4. just to say.

I simply expected my money's worth. But I didn't get it. Thankfully it only ended up costing me the price of a rental with the good trade-in deal that Gamestop had toward Nintendo games.bdhoff

you obviously never played it. So play the game. Then come back and talk about it.

wildcat37

I've been saying this for a while. Halo 2 was very, very similar to Halo: Combat Evolved. Given that pattern, I didn't expect a vastly different game with Halo 3, and I don't know why anyone else did.

Halo 3 delivered some of the worst dialogue to date for any video game along with a horrible conclussion that makes no sense. Nothing was explained.

ParadiseAwaits

The ending was pretty controversial, and I'm still making up my mind about it. However, "worst dialogue for any video game"? I just played through and beat Soldier of Fortune: Payback, today. The dialogue was titantically bad. There's a whole host of games that have worse voice work than Halo 3. If you personally didn't like the conversations in Halo 3, that's fine; to call it the worst in the industry is an exagerration, I think. Speaking of that...

Halo 3 is by far one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history.

ParadiseAwaits

Halo 3 was a huge hit both financially and with professional critics. Somehow I don't see Halo 3 showing up on a list along with ET and Daikatana, and any other true gaming disasters.

Bah, it's understandable when people can hate Halo 2 and 3 and think they're bad or mediocre, but I don't understand how anyone can hate Halo 1. It was simply a masterpiece. Even if you don't like it, it must be recognized as something that was great. You can hate what it did, though.

Please don't lecture me about Halo, I am too busy playing real shooters where people's response to being shot is not to jump 20 feet in the air or use an "energy sword". Come on.

wow thats really funny what you said about playing a real shooter and not jumping twenty feet in the air.lets get something clear im not going to bash either side.i enjoy halo but i dont think its the crem de la crem.halo got what it deserved score wise yes it does have its problems.but lets not forget that it is just a game so its ok to jump 20 feet in the air. there technically is no real shooters and i hope that when you said this you werent refering to call of duty 4.people praise that game like god crapped it out.its just like halo you have the die hard fanboys that will bash and verbally destroy every game and point out every other games flaws to make there game look better.so everyone has there opinions. im not going to play halo and say screw everyone this game is god but im not going to say that it was the worst game ever made.its not.call of duty 4 is not the worst game ever but not the best.so just respect peoples opinions and stop being such fanboys.dont sit in front of your tv with your hands in yor pants prasing games like there god.plus all you guys that wont play a game just because it got a low score.ply the game and decide for yourself.those scores are just what somebody thought of the game.

I'm not going to tell anyone that they have to like a game, but I've heard this precise argument against Halo so often that I just have to ask you to clarify a few things. Please take the questions seriously, even if they appear snotty.

When you say Halo is an average shooter with an average story, could you give a contrasting example of a superior shooter with a superior story? It would help if I knew what kinds of shooters have superior gameplay and how their stories are better in your view, as it would give some context.

Now your comment about Halo catering to kids "with bright colors and laser guns" is a little baffling. So if a game isn't monochromatic, it's childish? If a game has an energy weapon, it's for kids? If every SPARTAN can jump 20 feet in the air, how does that really affect the quality of combat? I could see you getting upset if only some people could jump and others couldn't, but you can aim upwards just as often as the other guy jumps, right?

In Halo you play as a cyborg with superhuman abilities. Should every shooter be like that? No, probably not. I like to play more tactical games every now and then for variety's sake. But I enjoy playing games that let me control an extraordinarily powerful character. If I had to spend the majority of every shooter hiding behind a crate for cover, I'd probably give up on gaming entirely. Sometimes I want high and broad action, and Halo delivers that.

i think im in love.

I thought the campaign was great and I still play the multiplayer just as much as Call of Duty 4.PsychoT4Prez

Someone siad that Halo 1, is extremly alike to Halo2, and thus to Halo 3. Isn't most sequals like this? Especialy in FPS, I mean, CoD2 it very much alike to CoD4, Timesplitter saga had very similar games. Half-Life also felt somewhat familiar.

Games are made to be played, not to be bashed about. If you like a game that got -10 in a review then good for you, If you utterly hate a game that got a perfect 10, good for you.

PLAY what you like, DO whatever the hell you want, I highly doubt that someone actualy gives a crap if you thinked a game sucked or viseversa.

Carl0009

I said that. I somewhat agree with you. Sequels are usually a lot like the last game. They should be this way; people would be mad if they weren't. At the same time, I think all the Halos are very similar. You mentioned the Half-Life series, and all those games do have a similar feel to them. However, Half-Life 2 added a lot more to its series than Halo 3 did. Keep in mind that there's a six-year stretch between Half-Life and Half-Life 2, which is the same amount of time as between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3.

If you accept that the Halos are all very alike, then this only becomes a criticism if you A.) Don't like Halo, or B.) Expected Halo 3 to be different. In the first case, you shouldn't be dissappointed in Halo 3, because you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. In case B, this is an unreasonable expectation given the history of the franchise.

ban ur mom off xbl

Superkeved

Good contribution.

what is the problem with halo 3? it's quite simple really. if youre going to start an epic story, advertise an epic story, and lead up to an epic ending, we expect something epic at the very least, not some half assed monkey crap solo missions. ok, i'll admit, the gaming is fun. i enjoyed some of the stages (as usual, the flood are more annoying than enjoyable to play against, but the return of the warthog escape thing was pleasing), but what some people dont realize is for many gamers, enjoying the story has a lot to do with the overall fun (especially when the story is hyped).

before i go any further id like to point out that halo multiplayer is a completely different game altogether. in fact, online multiplayer should be its own seperate gaming genre. a solo game's overall rating should not be influenced by the multiplayer aspect (and vice versa) since many people care for just one or the other. an overall score between the two can be deceiving and cause debates like this about overrated/underrated etc. ive played the online, and yes it's fun, but that doesnt mean the solo doesnt suck (i will explain). unfortunately for me, i was looking forward to the solo, not the multiplayer.

ok, back to my earlier point. like i said, the gameplay (even in the solo) was enjoyable. i enjoyed shooting down the scarab thingies. that was fun. i liked smashing people with that big hammer thingy. i wish the pistol was still overpowered (not part of the point). but the story was so horrendous to me (so, SOOO horrendous) that there was no magic. the first game had magic. i cared, i believed, i wanted more. the second game was the piggy-in-the-middle of the trilogy, so i cut them some slack (even though the story was lack luster as well). besides, i believed them when they told me M$ forced the launch prematurely. but they had no excuse for halo 3. i cannot even begin to explain my disappointment, ESPECIALLY with all the hype! do you remember the ads? those beautiful, beautiful ads? go watch them again. im sure you can find them on the internet somewhere. are they not glorious? do they not give you goosebumps? i want to play THAT game. that's what i call halo 3.

then i bought it and played it.

WTF? what is this crap? did the just scrap the whole interesting aspect of all the ads and just pooped out some brand new BS? not one interesting aspect of the ads was represented in the games (other than the opening of the earth, but even that wasnt the same). at the this point i felt like i was living a nightmare, and it just keeps going downhill from there. i read some reviews. reviewers loved it. the multiplayer was all the rage. key word: multiplayer. were most of the ads before launch about multiplayer? does a trilogy imply more towards the solo or multiplayer? why make me think im going to get an awesome story when they arent willing to deliver?

and this, children, is why people hate halo 3.

Halo 2 and 3 have successfully ruined and set a low standard for on-line gaming. Halo: CE... a classic. The amount of things Bungie tried to load the story with was overwhelming. The characters and storyline were incomplete, like someone put earlier: this games story had more holes in it than a sponge.

Do you honestly expect people to go out and but those sh***y paperback novels to get an "inside" look at Halo's story? Games that have "real" storytelling, like Half-Life, don't need a "rent-an-author" to fill in the blanks. Halo's faults don't only lie in the storytelling. The on-line matchmaking figure is so out of whack, and has spawned a plethora of games with this half-assed on-line matchmaking. You can't code networks like that. Connections fluctuate, change, packets drop, people bridge routers... I could go on and on, but the system is flawed and Bungie/Microsoft tried to hard.

I don't even need to go into the gameplay, everyone knows why it's garbage.

TheRooskie

If you dislike the Halo storyline, that's fine, but this is a silly reason to justify it (not that you really have to justify your own opinion). The Halo storyline sucks because there are novels written in the Halo universe? Isn't there a Mass Effect novel? Does Mass Effect suck too? Does the story of Star Wars falter, because the expanded universe exists? Does Final Fantasy VII have a poor story because they made a film extension to it? There may be a lot of good reasons why Halo doesn't have a great story. This is not one of them.

I expected nothing less than digital salvation, and yet what I got, I found rather wanting.

I'm being sarcastic, it was an ok game by me. Shame about the all the losers who ruin the online though.

frogcommando

Well, I am of the opinion that HaloCE >> Halo 3 > Halo 2.

I found the story in Halo CE to be massively entertaining, and it hooked me to the series.

What really drew me about Halo CE, was how it was different from most every other shooter I'd ever played. The market was flooded with these "Start with a wrench" games like Half Life... and there just was something about that particular FPS genre that didn't settle with me. Then comes along Halo CE, where you play as a half ton super soldier who's basic weapon was... gasp... an assault rifle. And of course, an added bonus, this game stuck you in wide open areas with several levels to them. If not quite a sandbox, it was still amazing.

Anyways, back to the point. Halo 3 was a pretty good game, the multiplayer was a riot... especially with the Forge to play around with. But the single player, the story... was just ok. Playing with a friend in co-op, was just as entertaining as it was in Halo CE. We couldn't help from cheering when Cortana was finally rescued... and the game had many memorable and tense moments... but... and it always comes down to it... the story.

Remember that Diorama ad? The one with the epic final battle where Master Cheif saved that poor old man's life? Where did that go?? I don't remember crawling through flood infested ships in any of the adds. The flood should have died off in Halo CE... it was supposed to be an epic confrontation between the UNSC and the Covenant... not Master Chief the Covenant and the Flood against the Prophets, not Master Chief and the Covenant against the flood, not Master Chief and the Covenant against the prophets. What the **** happened?

The heart-stopping moment when you first encountered the flood in Halo CE was the game's highest point. The game instantly went from fighting aliens to fighting zombies, and unless you spoiled yourself, you wouldn't have seen it coming... it was masterful storytelling.

And Halo 2 comes along and... elite allies? Hunter allies? Grunt allies? And oh, look, the flood is back. Oh, and shall I not forget to mention, all the aliens now speak English. The clever backwards talk of the elites... is gone. And... Brutes suck. Fighting elites was so much more entertaining.

And Halo 3 comes out and... elite allies? ..... Hunter foes? Grunt foes? And oh, look, the flood is back. And... Brutes suck. Fighting elites was so much more entertaining.

Anyways, to sum it up... if you went into Halo 3 solo, without any friends along for the ride, there's a higher chance you wouldn't like it. With friends, it's still not amazing, but co-op and multiplayer with people you know made up for all its shortcomings.

I hate opinions. Eveyone always thinks theirs is the right one.

How about we drop it move on and forget about it.

And do the gaming boards a favor and NEVER HYPE ANY GAME THAT EVER COMES OUT.

Hype is so stupid... when will they learn.

Really everyone says halo 3 was overrated and a dissapointment but really what were you expecting? I mean its online is very similar to halo 2 but really isn't that what they were going for? I just don't understand what was so awful about it, I mean sure the campaign is kinda boring, but its no worse then halo 2's, and forge and theatre are cool features, so really what were you expecting from halo 3 that wouldn't have made it overrated?
