I think Halo 3 was overhyped by the media. It's not the best FPS by far, the story campaign is short and repetivie, so XBox 360 fans better pay for online in addition, but even its online doesn't provide much new, nothing like the fresh air Resistance 2 or Warhawk provided. Technically I thought this game would set a standard for 360 gaming as the platform's most anticipated 1st party exclusive. The game instead underlined the bottlenecks with 640p graphics rendering and no AA at all (which was hyped to be "free" at a time).
IMO this game also underlines why metacritic sadly isn't that useful, there are a lot of biased media out there which affect the score averages. For example Gamespot's main criticism with regard to Ratchet & Clank: Future was that the game is similar to previous popular games in the series (despite the huge upgrade and there are many new gamplay aspects in this game), yet they didn't do this with regard to Halo 3 in comparison to Halo 2 and gave the game an amazing 9.5.

You may not like Halo,Halo may not be anything new,Halo may not have the best graphics(cause the game isnt about graphics),however Halo has the most fun gameplay,the only game to dethrone Halo in my book is L4D.
