Mark my words, Halo 3 will get a 8.5 or lower (on GS anyway)

The only thing left in the Halo series is the remaining hype from the fanboys. IGN wasn't impressed from their latest Halo 3 playtest and I don't blame them, having to test yet ANOTHER same old Halo for the 3rd time now.

Stop hyping the game now, and it won't be such a depressed stage for all those fanboys of the game.

I'm not even a big Halo fan but the gaming websites love the franchise. If they add co-op and flesh out the single player experience, I would say it will score just as well, if not better, than the other games. On a side note, if your getting sad about a games score, you're way too into your hobby.lol

i am not a halo fanboy but im tired of all these 'halo sucks' and 'halo is overrated' threads. it will get a 9.0 or a 9.5 because it will be a good game just like the last 2 were. and btw when i say its good i mean the majority of the people who play it think it is, which may or may not include you, i dont care about your opinion, and neither should anyone else.

if you like the game then get it, if not then dont. but either way people need to stop making topics about it being the best game ever or an overrated p.o.s. unless youre going to make it constructive and offer the reasoning behind your opinion.

oh yeah, and its not out yet so dont act like you know any more about it than anyone else.

Who cares what score it gets. As long as the end-user enjoys it, nothing else matters.

P.S. I think Halo 3 will get better than an 8.5. They gave GTA SA a good score even though it's basically the same game as GTA III and Vice City.

I did offer the reasoning behind my opinion. Halo 2 was Halo 1. Halo 3 will be Halo 2 which is Halo 1. See my reasoning?

As for GTASA, obviously you've never played either of the games. They added a WHOLE BUNCH of things to GTASA to make it worthy and to mix the gameplay up. What did they add to H3? Some new weapons, vehicles and ... oh yeah, shinier graphics.

Exactly .... whats the point in coming in here shouting about a game that hasn't even been released yet .... with all that spare time you have on your hands why not go out and find a game you like to play, play it and be happy!

have you played both of them? if so, obviously not long enough to be able to realise that they were 2 very different games. new maps, vehicles, weapons, continuation of the storyline, much more customisation, etc. not to mention online play. yes there were a lot of similarities because they are 2 games in the same series but they were not the same.

if you dont admit that much then this topic is over because you are refusing to use logic.

HONESTLY what i think about that Halo 3 is that is not going to be what you think is going to be. Sadly:|

Because Halo 3 has been having a much lower score over the times, I have Halo 1 and Halo 2 and i play it on my well BROKEN 360

and Halo isn´t that big deal if the produters dont put some new ideas in the game it will have a score below 9.0

This E3 I was much more impressed with Killzone 2 than Halo 3.Halo 3 graphics werent that impressive compared to Killzone 2 graphics and I personally think Killzone 2 will have a much higher score:D Because SONY put a lot in this game.

I think the single player of Killzone2 will better than the Halo 3 singleplayer because Halo always stink in singleplayer:!

Your no help to anything, So you didnt like Halo or Halo 2, and now you think GS will give it 8.5 becuase you havea a guess mindless view of games, every Halo game has scored 9+ on GS this i see will be the highest scoring one yet. YOU ANNOY ME, open your mind and learn to enjoy games for what they are.

they did put new stuff in the game. not a lot, but all the x button stuff completely changes the way people play multiplayer.

i admit i dont know anything about killzone, and halo 2 campaign gameplay was sub-par. the original halo singleplayer was really good imo. and halo 3 graphics arent quite done yet, im hoping theyll get better. although i still dont have an hdtv so it wont make a whole lot of difference to me at this point.

So a game that's rated 8.5 out of 10 isn't fun? Why are you so angry that you would come in here and try to tell people a game that they've always liked will, in YOUR opinion, suck? Maybe you want people to be as miserable as you are? Kids these days...

For people complaining about graphics you really can't expect Halo to be about graphics. I mean the art style just isn't meant for realism. Take the following example. You can't expec to change graphics that much and expect us not to question a change in art style. Of course Bungie could prove me wrong but I doubt it.

dude, you're in the 360 forums, with a Snake avatar, talking about Killzone 2, and how SONY has put alot into the game.

and then "single player of Killzone2 will better than the Halo 3 singleplayer because Halo always stink in singleplayer:!"

you really have no bias here do you?

andyou think "Halo isn'tthat big deal" you must be new on the planet, my people and I wish youa safe return trip

oh by the way MGS4 is not a big deal, Halo 3will be better because MICROSOFT has put alot into the game.

did it make any sense the other way around?

First off, 8.5 isn't a bad score, anymore :P

Halo 3 won't be refreshing, but rather just a fun game in a series we've come to like.

Haha, Wolf is back. Nice. Halo 3, as much as I want it, it isn't a must get for me. The hype is probably what made me disappointed with Halo 2. I'm definitely getting this game, but not because it is a must get for me, but it would be a main staple at my LAN parties.

First of all Halo 2 set the standard for the best console multiplayer interface ever. They are expanding the features and support this time around with Halo 3. Games that are still being released on the 360 don't support party systems that are as fun and easy as Halo 2. The party system was the best way to play with your friends and go from game to game without being separated. Now in Halo 3 they have included the saved films feature which has never been done on a console before. You can detach the camera pan around or go to any player's perspective whenever you want. Pause, fast-forward, rewind. You can even do this in the single player campaign and co-op. Then you can send them to anybody on your friends list for them to watch.

So yeah I think halo 3 is going to be like Halo 1 and Halo 2, but wasn't The Return of the King sort of like The Two Towers and The Fellowship of the Ring? Oh, I know. Maybe because it was a planned trilogy. Reviewers didn't rate ROTK lower because it's more of the same just different creatures, characters and scenarios. It's the same thing with Halo.

I'll see you on the 25th of September :)

It probably can get a 8.5 or lower at Gamespot. They gave Twilight Princess a low grade because it didn't change anything, and Halo 3 is looking to do the same.

stop bashing halo ppl, atleast it looks way better than killzone 2. Arguable on the graphics, but the gameplay looks 100 times better in halo 3 then it does in Killzone 2. Why do i bring this up? Only because ppl seem to be having orgasms over a game inferior to halo 3 while bashing Halo.

If u let websites dictate your opinon on games you would not play more than 20 games because alot of games dont get past 8.25 or whatever. Does that make the game bad? who cares. Its your money to spend however you want to albeit on a craptastic or a fantastic game. I'm not taking sides i just pointing out the obvious

--Wolf--

huh ... this is coming from a guy who gave Gears of War a score of 9.7 ....... can he be trusted ??

Gears was badly overhyped and the campaign was good but not long enough and mp has lag issues.

Spoken like a person who can actually think for him/herself. A big ol' LAWL out there to those who let a number a couple people give a game decide how good the game is rather than playing it... And that goes for EVERYTHING, not just Halo 3.

On G4 I think it was Adam Sessler (who I trust to tell the truth about games) and he said Halo looked even more impressive then the trailer Microsoft shown at their press conference...so this is just your opinion...I'm sure it will be scored accordingly, stop being a hater and go talk about games YOU enjoy instead of bashing games that you do not enjoy.

There's no reason to not admit that. Halo IP is a huge successfull one, and it's hype came from from its awesomeness, it earned it.

Have you ever heard of anybody that bought a Playstation because of..., what's that name really, Killdrone?

Halo get a low score?! Never! It will get a high score, not because it will be a good game or anything, but because of the hype and the fact it is halo.

I will give a scooby snack to the review site that rates halo fairly and gives it a more down to earth rating.
