I loved Halo 3, but I hated the ending.

It left me feeling empty about Halo.

I was expecting the Assault Rifle to have some balls to it. Now it feels like your shooting popcorn.

I personally never cared for the story but still find the SP and MP to be top notch. As "bad" as Halo 3 is how many other shooters are better?

All in all, I think Halo 3 is the best installment in the series . Maybe it wasn't as groundbreaking as Halo 1, or as fresh and innovative in its multiplayer as Halo 2, but it still made strides above and beyond what had been offered in previous iterations. Even if it was the greatest game ever released, Halo 3 could not have possibly lived up to the astronomically high expectations and hype that were put on it. As it is, I see Halo 3 as being the way that Halo was always meant to be played. The battles are large scale and really make you feel like you're in the middle of a war, and the vehicles and weapons are, for the most part, the best they ever have been. If you enjoyed previous Halo games, I don't think there is any way that you won't like this one. It is superior in just about every way to its predecessors, and while there may be some truth that the storyline could have revealed more, tied up loose ends, and produced a more fulfilling ending, I don't think it is anywhere near as bad as some make it out to be - it certainly didn't diminish the experience in any significant way for me, and actually made me think/hope that, in one way or another, the door may still open for additional Halo games to be released (despite Bungie's claim that this was the end of the series). Aside from the storyline/ending, which I guess a lot of people had a problem with, I don't really know how much more Bungie could have done to Halo 3 without making it an experience that would be seen as unHalo-like, and thus alienate its core audience. All of my friends who liked Halo 1 & 2 thought Halo 3 was absolutely awesome, and I agree. The ones who didn't, well their minds weren't changed... but truthfully, what the hell were they doing playing it in the first place?

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?

The entire Halo series is overrated, that's why I hate ALL of them.

Same here

Hey Haloboys nobody said its horrible a lot of people still play it and like it. I personally do not care for it at all (Not because I suck) but because I feel its simplistic and the people who play it are either douches, little kids or maybe both. The Theater feature was nice I would like to see it in other games. Was Halo 3 overrated to me big time to others no, but the fact is it came out a year ago stop making topics like these. Also just because its a sequel doesn't mean it should be a clone they added nothing to the gameplay at all yes they added new features, but they didn't change the gameplay at all.

didnt add enough new to multiplayer the best map in multiplayer we didnt have to buy was a map from halo 2 which is a bad sign. Not enough new weapons and vehicles. Single player was weak compared to the feeling you got playing through halo 1

All of you Halo 3 haters are either Sony losers who are just upset because you don't have any good shooters or you just don't have either xbox live or friends to play with. The multiplayer is the best around. COD4 can't even compare to it. Every COD4 game is the same. The combat always feels the same, even in objective games. People are always doing the exact same thing, trying to increase the K/D ratio and people camp like crazy. Will people be playing COD4 in a couple of months when COD5 comes out? I doubt it. Halo 3 will last. And the story wasn't that bad. The action was great in the single player but the multiplayer trumps everything.

look here is the real problem with people and halo 3...... you go out and spend 69-199 dollars on a game that has more hype then the second coming of Christ. It's the third game in a very popular trilogy. You get it home and find out you bought halo 2 with extra features. I mean think about it you as the player have to make this game fun by having 4 player co-op to make a very basic and dull campaign worth playing then its right to the multi-player......and that's about it. So i understand why people are mad i like the game but it wasn't the block-buster that it should have been and bungie knows it. They knew fan boys would kill for it and the media helped with the hype.

Isn't that like saying Halo 2 is just Halo 1 with extra features, or Ninja Gaiden 2 is just a bigger version of the first? You are, after all, buying the sequel, so if it's a completely different game you run the risk of alienating your core audience - the gamers who made it popular in the first place. Sure more weapons, vehicles, and multiplayer modes are always great - the more the merrier - but that is always going to be the case. Stripped of the hype and expectations, Halo 3 is an utterly awesome game. Could it be better? Sure every game can be better, but it certainly was worth the $60 I payed for it. Now, for those that bought those overpriced collectors editions, I don't know about that being worth it... but hey, to each his own, right?

Well yeah basically that's what you get an upgraded version of the last one lots of the time. Halo 2 is upgraded halo 1 but this is were it gets tricky after you've played the first and second game the third should be far removed from the first. If not your offering the same experience for top dollar. Once you hit that many games you need to take things in a new direction so that when you pick the game up your like wow i got to learn most of this from scratch. I know this isn't the best example but do you know what it would have been like if mortal kombat just threw in new characters for all of there games and a few new moves with the same 2d and same back ground. The reason people are so upset is cause they didn't get that brand new experience. If you played halo 1 you can pick up halo3 with no problem no new skill needed same tactics same threats same weapons same vehicles almost the same graphics. Honesly i love the game as far as playing with friends and online play but i wasn't a fan of the first two games i felt like this one was better then the first two. but for fans of the series i would have been P.O'ed about the game. but like you said to each is own

The Halo trilogy is not bad at all. The story may not have been like an immersive novel, but the whole universe created by Halo was amazing. The Spartan soldiers, the Covenant, the way it was presented felt very original and innovative. Which was what Halo CE was.

The campaign I felt, was fun to play but you could lose interest after the first one or two runs through it. The MP was freakin' amazing, it tops Xbox Live for a reason. The games are not perfect, but they sure as hell aren't bad. And to those people who're like, "DUR, you can jumps so high!!", if you want a realistic shooter, play a realistic shooter.
