Halo is getting brought to the ground with all the haters. STOP HATIN!

First, let me state that I am a HUGE Halo fan. That said, as a Halo fan I was very disappointed with the campaign mode of the game. It was far too short and the plot left much to be desired. I think that most gripes about the game stem from that fact. It concerns me that the obvious obsession with making games attractive to on-line gamershas resulted in the developers putting less effort into the solo campaigns, especially when many gamersmay buy a game to mainly (in my case with Halo3, only) play the solo missions. Thoughts?

No I don't agree with you. Why do you let other people influence your decision to buy Halo? Who cares if some people don't like Halo? I don't care, and you shouldn't either. I don't like Halo and I have no plans to pick it up but should I go ahead and buy it because lots of other people are? No because that's stupid. Everyone has the right to like or not like any game, and just because some people don't like Halo it doesn't mean that you have to stop. If you like Halo and wish to buy it then do so and stop worrying about other people dissing Halo. And just to be clear, I'm not a Halo hater, I'm just not a Halo fan.;)nyc05

Halo 3 is a great game.

The following people (generally) are Halo haters....

-Anti-FPS (Bring back 2-D in all its glory...)

-PS3 owners (whom did not buy an Xbox360...and think Resistance and Warhawk should be games of the year...)

-Wii owners (whom did not buy an Xbox360...and believe Mario and Sonic could team up to beat that "Master Chef" (Yes, Master Chef is a "Knock" by some Anti-Halo people)).

-Anti-social gamers (Yes, the "Kings of Single Player")

-NME (New Millennium Extremist. Game "X" (Yes, boys and girls you can put any game in "X") is way, way, way better than Halo 3. Everyone has a preference for their favorite game, just "give prop's where prop's are due". These extremist live and breath their game and nothing else.....Think "Dungeons and Dragons" in the early 80's or Extreme Star Trek or Extreme Star Wars Fans.....)

Halo 3 is about "Who and How."

"Who" is not just you. Halo is best played with others, period.

"How" is getting others to "Team-up and kick butt."

The multiplayer is created for everyone (Yes, that includes Noobs. Noobs can progress through the multiplayer and learn the game, make friends, become members of "Clans", etc.)

Forage ("Hey, lets play on my map....")

I love Halo 3, I use to bash it I admit,but when I played it that changed everything. Attention all bashers, heres some advice; Sit down, shut up, and enoy the game. This game definatly has what it takes to be Game of the Year '07

If you are a true fan someone's post online can't change that. Halo is one of the biggest, if not biggest, franchises in video game history so there will be a lot more haters than usual. Most are just stating there opinions, but others are just being stupid by posting it sucks without giving any reasons.MJ0LNIR_SPARTAN

i have played it. i own it. i dont like it. so take your own advice and shut up, an opinion that is negative about a game i just as valid as one that's positive. i'm sure i like games u don't like it doesn't mean the reason you don't like it aren't true for you.

Cant agree more!

Halo is overrated, however, I own it, i enjoy multiplayer, its fun. But in my (i'll repeat, MY) opinion, its not "teh bestest game ever".

johnrkinsey1 - Pigeonholing is lame.

These New Millenium Extremists, as you call them, are actually Halo fans. Never before has there beena title that entices consumers to buy a console solely for one game. Moreover, some of these casual gamer types really have no intentions of getting another game or playing anything else. Just Halo. I'm not sure what other games you could be referring to that people are so fanatical about. There really isn't a united front for any other game... maybe Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, or Metal Gear Solid 4? Butthese are most certainly single player experiences, so I can't really see how you'd imagine them going head to head with what is clearly a title relying on multiplayer for longevity.

As for your comment about Forge. (It is Forge, by the way, not Forage.) You say let's play 'my' map. Meaning what? You rearranged the weapons and spawnpoints on Valhalla? Forge is a pathetic excuse for a level editor. Timesplitters, a release title for PS2 back in 2000, had more expansive options in its level editor thanHalo 3 does in Forge. Atleast with that game you could actually make a custom level, simplistic as it might have been. I've always been an avid PC gamer and love to tinker with level editors for those games (Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, Quake to give a few examples) so perhaps my expectations were a bit too high. Still, I expected at least the functionality of the old Timesplitters editor.

Halo is so far form being the greatest game franchise. if your really gonna throw that statment out there that means your putting up against the mario, zelda, and other names that have been around from close to the beginning of videogames periodand well....halo just wont cut it compared to those. it's a good game don't get me wrong, just not that goodceells87

its the best franchise of its generation

Halo's crap. It always has been and it always will be. It's just candy-coated soldiers in generic settings with basic multiplayer. Nothing's pushed. It's one of the most vanilla experiences I've ever had with a game. Also one of the most overhyped dog turd of a game ever. Nuff' said.unkling

thats pretty ignorant

I'd respect your negative opinions if you would explain why you hate it rather than say something like "OMG THIS SUX". I can't really reply to the rest of your post because of several gramatical errors. But from what I can read I'm guessing your a typical Halo basher, and I doubt you've played the game.
