Well if it was a huge let down then how come a year after it came out, thousands and thousands of people play it daily?

LordWaspy

exactly. im not a halo fanboy. in one of my previous post i even said that the 3rd wasnt the best.but the tc just wants to blast all the negatives.to get those halo fanboys to go apesh!t.

I'll keep defending it thank you. I know there are people out there who have had great experiences at Gamestop. And I will continue to do so. If you don't like it don't shop there. Its as simple as that. it's not going to effect them at all.Childeater10

yeah dude i remember i traded in halo. i bought the game at target for like 45bucks they had a sale on it. then when i traded it in they gave me 38 at gamestop. six months after i bought the game.

Make me feel stupid? So are you gonna be the one to do that? Who cares what you think?. Anyway Halo3 the game is the #1 game on Xbox live right now, so explain to me how it's a disappointment for millions of people, and if you think this thread is cool then maybe you missed the 80 similar ones like it

well if you were intelligent enoguh to read what i said. I said make the Tc feel stupid.

[QUOTE="Atreyu606"]horrible graphics!? are you blind?! the graphics are better than any halo game before it, and better than most games to date. You need to take a step back, and look at the game as a whole, instead of comparing it and finding every little thing to complain about. Halo 3 is a great game, one of the best yet, and if you don't agree, stop playing it. Go back to halo 2 or 1, and leave people who love halo 3 alone. The games been out for a year and your just now complaining about it? if you don't like it, play something else. simple as that.wile315

LOL are you blind? Yes I already said there were improvements, character modeling and lighting. Battlefields were larger, yes. When I look at the game on the whole, I notice a few gorgeous levels, and a whole lot of sub-par level design. Yes i can take the approach of just paying attention to the good parts but the bad parts are so much more overwhelming this time around. Did anyone else think Bungie could have smoothed out some of that jaggness easily. Or put slightly more details on the trees or the inside of the convenant ships. These glaring gloss overs just make me feel that Bungie did a really lazy job of passing graphics. At best I felt Halo 3 looked like a standard current gen shooter. At worst, they could have made this on the xbox. The truth is, it just felt that Bungie did not put as much effort into Halo 3 as Halo 2 or 1.

You're such a halo zealot that you lost your brain. Dont you think its bad for bungie to hear all these praises from the die hard fans who obviously lost their ability to critique constructively anymore? It seems to me that the Halo community needs people who will point out where Halo 3 went wrong, so Bungie can freshen up and deliver the best next game.

you need to get a better tv, cause I play on a HD tv and the game is gorgeous. The campaign is great, the multiplayer is amazing, the new game machanics are always fun, and the game is all around amazing. If you want a game thats completely campaign (cause thats what you seem to be focusing on) play bioshock. Halo 3 is one of the best games I've played, and I still play it daily, a year after its release. Your expectations are way too high, and I think you should learn to enjoy the game as it is, or stop playing it.

Okay, yes, my expectations are high, because its HALO. And my expectation were high after Halo 1, Halo 2 delivered and Halo 3 didnt. I dont see why the Halo community should all of a sudden lower their expectations. I mean we critique other games so intensely that we cant do it for our one game? I love halo multiplayer by the way and I enjoy halo 3 in that aspect. But isnt it a bit sad that now we only have Halo 3 multiplayer to praise. We sort of lost single player.

And I do play on a samsung HDTV, 1080i 40 inch. Halo 3 is the only jagged game.

isnt anyone else pist off about paying for Halo 3 legendary map pack? The fact that Bungie is requiring the download on the better game rooms makes me feel that they're milking us for money.

ill send you money so you can wipe your tears ok. your probrably one of those people who think that call of duty 4 is the greatest game ever made. In my opinion that game sucked. Halo 3 concluded the story. if you wanted it to be more like 2. you should write to bungie and say ask them to make you a special copy of 2 with updated graphics. But remember to ask them to wipe their A$$ with it first before they send it to you.

I was a Halo fan since the first game, and now im throwing away the helmet. Halo 3 is the biggest let down to one of the best series.

Halo 1 was named combat evolved, and it delivered everything its name promised. It was the first great console shooter in my opinion, had everything from a good single player campaign, multiplayer and the visuals to match.

Halo 2 kept this up with better multiplayer features, dual welding, improved graphics on the same hardware, and still a very decent single player campaign. It introduced the arbitor and let you in on his story. Very cool indeed.

Halo 3 did not match up to the first two games in any aspect. Single player campaign is abysmal. There are only a few good missions, and you can name them on your first three fingers. For every other mission, it was basically, find this, get to this point, and watch the cutscene so the story can progress. They made an entire mission on helping allied soldier escape?!! This is Halo 3, ther universe is about to explode. Where did story progression go? Did Bungie developers sudddenly catch down syndrome?

There were so many opportunities for Halo 3 to be a good game, and Bungie failed to catch any of them. What the hell happened to the arbitor. Bungie introduced the coolest character next to master chief and just abandonned it. They could have easily diversified game play and expand on the story. There are no other compelling characters other than cortana and truth, and truth isnt even focused on until he dies.

The new combat features are pathetic, the only cool feature is ripping a turret off. And this is suppose to make up for a covoluted story, poor level design and horrible graphics? There were portions of the game where I really thought I was playing halo 2 again. There were improvements in lighting and character modeling, but they're ruined by horrible jaggness. Halo 3 released in 2007! Alongside Gears of War!

Multiplayer and the forge is Halo 3's only saving grace. But this is not excusable. If Bungie expect me to pay for a sub par game again, they're dreaming.

wile315

oh boy another one of these topics.ok we get it you think halo sucks.so do a lot of other people. SH!T if you like the game play it if you dont, dont play it. does it really make yourself feel better that you really wasted a few minutes complaining about the same thing like evryone else

Hey guys my current girl friend has expressed an interest in playing with me on my xbox....i much prefere it if she was playing with me but hey got to rest some times. thing is shes 36 and has never played on a console before....i showed her gta 4 but the controls were far to hard for her to get, what can you suggest that is not a xbla title. are there any fun 2 player spilt screen games out there which i may have over looked or any real girlie games

craigwhitcher

hey man believe it or not i got my gf into guitar hero.she cant play on the guitar controller but she uses the normal controller. i didnt even know you can do that until i read the manual. but after the second day she was already playing medium and getting 5 stars on the songs.

I agree totaly man, I love my Xbox but Microsoft is a bunch of blood thirsty animals. They nickle and dime you whereever they can. Why? They are one of the richest companies in the world, how about a little customer service? Then they turn around and charge you double the price on all the hardware because it has the "official Microsoft" logo on it. MORONS!!legendaryryanj

yeah dude its called a buisness. same with other companies they will charge you money for their marketed product with their logo.but they will also make the same product without their logo.but people still buy it for the logo.a company needs to make money. its microsoft they dont have time to listens to people complain about all their problems outside of warranty. stuff of mine has broken and i dont complain. I freakin replace it.
