I don;t think it has a chance with games like theese coming out :
Mass Effect
Mario Galaxy
Call Of Duty 4
BioShockshockwave04

I think you must have forgot that BS is already out, and H3 is better than that. The only one I think that has a chance is COD4 because it also has single and multiplayer so as a package they will be onlevel terms, but I just can't see it being as good.

will it be a tactical game or will it be a straightforward shooter like the previous cods? and if you are in beta, what is multiplayer like?i wanna know because theres a lot of people looking forward to this game, but to me it seems like its just another cod game dressed up to look like its set in modern times.Xeros606

Well its quite tactical but fast paced similar to counterstrike, its very good.

i believe yes,it's way better than beta version.what do u think?katseaz

In terms of scale and size of battles yes, but the level of quality in GEOW in terms of character models no it won't.

not fact. chaces are high though.

but don't evr use the word fact if there is not fact, that makes you look silly as hell.

Silly says the man or boy with a picture of Mario, it ain't the 1980's anymore buddy.

Bioshock will definitely be a candidate, but I would wait and see before proclaiming it as the winner. We have yet to see what several other games this year (Mass Effect, Crysis, etc.) will turn out like.kapp1

Bioshock has got 10 out of 10 from almost all websites and mags, so IMO it's gonna walk it.

nice info dude...ViceVersa_k20

Yeah, it just shows how good this game is gonna be.

I want to play it even more now after reading that!daytona_178

Amen brother.

CAMPAIGN

And before we know it, we're back in the familiar instinctive, free-flowing combat that makes the Halo series so distinct among firstperson shooters. But though it feels familiar, it's not the same. The enviroments are more expansive than ever before, and they're spanned by fighting enemies and allied forces. The scale is immediately evident, and remarkable. Design Lead Jamie Greisemer "In Halo 1 and 2 you'd have to spawn a load of guys at the front, and once the player has killed those guys, you'd spawn some guys behind a rock and so the entire battle would sort of play out the same way, but now we spawn a whole battlefield full of guys and have fun. If you want to engage these guys right up front, you can. If you want to stand up on a ridge, they'll start shooting back."

The end result is more variety. Encounters have even greater fluidity than before. Its common to push forward too quickly and find yourself attacked from all sides, so apart from managing your weaponry, its now important to tactically manage your troops. Its often wise to hang back and give support, allowing them to clean up less powerful enemies, and protect them by carefully taking out threats. In the same spirit, AI is the same, but more. There's plenty of opportunity to explore the enviroment away from that central stream, too. On the scarab "Its the biggest character we've ever done", unlike the scripted Halo 2 original, this scarab is AI controlled. "We don't want to do boss battles its just another part of the sandbox." "People here talk about Halo 3 being the Halo game they always wanted to make. We want it to be the definitive experience the guys here always had in their heads."

Halo 3 will be a game of depth and scale, of mechanics, of appeal and of ambition. Its meticulously focused, yet radiant with expansive possibilty. And with two months of obsessive polishing to go, its already one of the most supremely confident games we've ever seen. "We always joke that at some point someone will have to come along and prise the code out of our hands because we will tweak and tune right up till the final second. And each day it just gets more fun to play."
