I bailed full on Xbox a few months before this came out. I loved Halo, and to a lesser extent, Halo 2, so it kinda sucked not playing it. Still haven't played a Halo game since Halo 2.

I hated this game. It's the game that got me off the Halo bandwagon. I think the CoD4 MP beta killed literally all of my buzz for Halo 3. Still, the amount of hype for this thing was unreal. Idk if I have ever seen a game marketed so much or if we'll ever see one reach its level again. You could be pumping gas at 7/11 and a Halo 3 ad would play, inviting you to come inside and buy a copy. Insane.

At least it exposed people to the greatness that was Crackdown. A handful of my friends bought that game just for the beta access. Like me, they ended up enjoying it more than Halo 3.                                     

Crackdown was pretty awesome imo. I never did get all those orbs.

I have 499/500 agility orbs. :(

Even though Reach was a big seller and popular, Halo 3 was the last Halo title that was an "event". I wish the people who made those first three Halo titles were still making them.

Yeah, reach was one of the best single player campaigns in the series. The multilayer though... Was dreadful. Halo 3 was their last complete package of brilliance. Including the first Destiny. I have no intention of playing the second because of it.

You just gave me flash backs of the dreaded armor lock.... *shivers*

Yeesh. That sucks dude. My condolences. If you haven't already, maybe use google to see if it can help you narrow things down to specific orbs that are known to be difficult to find.

I did the midnight launch for it at GS. That launch still gives me nightmares. Even after that huge launch, we had those stupid helmets stockpiling for months until we finally just sent them back to corporate.

Six years more until it can play with itself.



Needs to be remastered.

I played this game in the Master Chief Collection and I'm sorry to say I thought it was really forgettable.
In my mind the original Halo is the only one that's truly brilliant, every sequel feels like an indistinguishable blur of competent shooting and amateur storytelling.



I was 9 when it came out. I remember that my friend got it for Christmas that year, so I went over to his house and ended up playing it with him.
