I think the problem with Halo 3 is this:
Since the popularity of Halo 1 and 2, there have been a lot of devs that have tried to capture Halo's grab on gamers. By doing so, they have created a few games that are both like Halo and better. GEars of War is one example of a game that takes the Halo-type setup and killed it on graphics.
So, after seeing a game like Gears it will be hard to accept anything less than that. Especially for an exclusive title like Halo 3. This game has been touted as a console maker/breaker. So, of course, everyone is expecting to get blown away.
Thus far, from videos and word back from demo players, it isn't showing the strength that it should. That's why it is being bashed. And it should be.

Gears plays NOTHING like Halo. I play both like mad... and apart from the obvious ones like different perspective Gears is completely different. Gears is completely tactical, Halo much less so. Before Annex and the patch modes Gears only had one death so a huge amount of importance was spent on how you spent your one life... in Halo you can run and gun, run and gun, run ang gun, die, respawn, repeat. I could go on and on, but Gears does not use Halo's formula.
