ok, dont get me wrong, i like the 360, i have it, a wii, and a ps3, so i aint a fanboy, but seirously. what is the hype with halo 3, and why does microsoft and everyoen else get the idea that the 360s success is based on ONE game, i dont get it. unless im missing something, could someone tell me why halo 3 deserves the over hyped attention? this is what i see: a couple new maps, a couple new guns, better graphics, and new story. isnt that about it? it will be a great game dont get me wrong, i just dont know why anybody should overhype a game that will have no REVOLUTIONARY things in it. new weapons or maps or story isnt revolutionary. im just a bit confused...

Even though it isn't revolutionary it is because people want more Halo in terms of the new guns, maps, and of course the continuation of the story. Again nothing revolutionary but many many new features and content. The gameplay is already perfect as it is and adding more to it makes it even better.

Well think of something you really, really like. Ok , now imaging they were going to realease another one but with even more stuff you like. There you go.

PS games don't have to be revolutionary to be fun.

microsoft/xbox 360 arent basing their success just on halo 3... they got a huge lineup of great games coming out the only reason halo 3 is so hyped is because its part of an already huge franchise. Im buying it absolutely no matter what i mean ive already reserved it months ago just in case and im sure millions of other people will be buying halo 3 no matter what

I loved halo. i dont care if it brought nothing new to the genre. it was new to me. i hadn't reallyplayed a game with open levels that you see, and even the ones that were small and linear still looked/felt bigger than they actually were. and the combat was good. killing grunts elites and hunters was a blast for me and my friends.

Halo 2 on the other hand, i think the reviews for that were very generous, good multiplayer or not. but hopefully bungie has indeed learned their lesson and have gone back to halo 1 style of level design. i think duel-wielding and auto-aim are 2 more mistakes as well. duel wielding is kinda cool, but i think its also kinda lame. and for people who've read the books, it just makes it feel more lame. i know the books and the games don't share the same style...but he's still the same MC and duel wielding just doesn't make any sense.

I never really liked Halo, but I have to admit that the first Halo did introduce a major change in console FPS. There were pretty much no solid FPS on the consoles before Halo, atleast for a good 2-3 years. Its campaign was also pretty solid, and it was capable of hosting big online matches. Halo 2 on the otherhand was crap, since it didn't introduce anything new. I guess all this hype is comming from the huge number of fans from the first game. Unless Halo 3 can introduce something new, it'll be pretty hard for it to live up to the hype. I personally don't think it will live up to the hype, although it will more than likely score over 9.0 on all the sites. Seeing how the game is not likely to have online co-op or even 4 player coop, I think the game isn't going to be able to meet our expectations.

I don't understand people, if they add/change too much everyone whines "omg bungie fails it's not like Halo 1" then they keep the core gameplay and add a little new stuff here and there so the response is "Halo 2.5!!!" You can't win. It dosn't need to be revolutionary, just make it seem fresh again while delivering an epic ending to the story and the game will be great.

Halo 3 is the final game in an amazing trilogy so of course there will be hype I think the betatotally killed the hype of this game. The beta was amazing i didn't get totally rapped by the **** abusing wepons and such but it was amazing they just need to fix some of the levels such as snowbounc (hate that level too may people abusing it such as in oddball) but anyways this game is awsome it will be awsome and im stoked for it!

The second game didn't revolutionize anything, it just made the PERFECT multiplayer experience, which Halo 3 is hoping to also do. Not to mention XBOX360 DOES have mass effect, AND GTAIV, and Assassin's creed, and all the other multi-platform goodies coming out.

Nice, I would have pre-ordered the Legendary Edition but it's just too expensive here in Australia, it's like $200 bucks. I'm a halo fan and could only afford the normal edition. Proud to purchase Halo 3 to finish the fight!

Why must people constantly judge the hype for Halo 3, because you can't really ask the question why as you should already know. People are hyping it to the max for the most part because they have really enjoyed the previous games, other people hype it just because everyone else is. Yes there are some of us whom aren't hyping it just because we didn't think the first 2 games were absolutely amazing, but you must realize we are a major minority with those beliefs. All sequels to outstanding games are hyped to the max, especially since this is the 1st Halo of the next generation of gaming. I don't think Halo is the greatest game ever, nor do I plan on purchasing it, but I've been a gamer long enough to understand it & you should be able to do so as well.
