I might purchase it on Christmas, i'm from New Zealand so i'm not sure if there will be many online matches available anymore.

Is it a must have or should I save up for something better?

This topic is pretty laughable, but I will give you an answer anyways. Yes there will still be plenty of servers and yes it is still worthy of being bought.

Well my topic is straight to the point, since Halo 3 has been around for a wee while.

But thank you for your opinion.

You should still find plenty of matches. it is one of the top 360 games, if not, the top game to get for it.

It most likely will be game of the Year. It is very well done and online contend is expanding. It is one game that should be in every gamers collection.

Halo 3 is maybe the best shooter (single player and multiplayer wise) for the system along with CoD 4, don't wait and go buy.

PD: it will be the most played game on live for quite some time. It has like 1.5 million players weekly...

You can argue that it's not the best 360 game out this year and I will buy that. There might even be 10 games out there which are better IN YOUR OPINION, but that's completely subjective. However, to call it a "trash game" seems exceedingly harsh. I can understand people claiming that it's not a "great" game, but I cannot comprehend the people who think that it is below average, meaning that more than half of all of the 360 games (not just the good 360 games, all of them) are better than Halo 3. Personally I like Halo 3 because it offers me so many different things, even if it's not the best at all of them. I can certainlysee people liking it less than me, I can certainly understand disliking the gameplay or the graphics or some other aspect. But I simply don't understand those who refuse to see the quality of the game or the polish of the gameplay.

Also, Halo 2 was still among the top XBLgames nightly when Halo 3 was released, and Halo 3 still has hundreds of thousands of players nightly and is still among the top XBL games nightly, even with CoD4. Right now in the late afternoon in the Eastern time zone and early afternoon in the Pacific time zone, meaning many people are at school or work,there are over 100,000 Halo 3 players online. Halo 3 matchmaking is definitely safe.

to be fair halo 3 sold half of its copys on hype alone, that is to say alot of people just bought it to see if it was as good as it was said to be and so they could play out the end since alot of people played the 1st two.

however yes there will definatly be new zelanders playing, theres still new zealanders hosting 9 round gears of war matches

Whats with all the people trash talking about Halo 3 now a days. If it make you people feel any better then I would say it is just a good game. I do love some other games more then Halo 3, but there is no reason for you people to dump a game in every thread that mentioned Halo 3 on it.

To answer the TCs question, yes it is worth getting it. If you have XBL you're going to have some fun on that. The single player is decent, and there is always co-op.

And i like how some halo-tards cant handle the truth, Cod4,Bioshock and The orange box are far better than halo3.

Halo 3 is one of the few games out there that's truly worth the $60 I paid for it. Great graphics, sound effects, music and gameplay... what more could you ask for?

Isn't Xbox Live worldwide? So why would where he is from matter?
