jeff g even said in the review that halo 3 was just like halo 2 with some new onlone options. why do u say that it deserves a 9.5 or even a "game of the year" tile, because its HALO r u stupid. even if this game blowed people would still be slobering over this game for the next 4 or 5 years. what really makes me mad is that fact that there are so many great games comming out that r going to be over shadowed by this CRAP. this moring i went to best buy to pick up warhawk, and there was a line out the fricken door to play some little demo crap for halo. i couldnt believe the publisity that this game attracts. im sure this game will be great down the road but all i can say is that if the reason why great game like cod4 army of two mass effect, assasins creedand others are over shadowed by halo i will never touch video games again ever.......
