I think everyone expected Halo 3 to perform amazingly in regards to sell (which it did and is still accomplishing) and most expected the multiplayer aspect to be addictively fun which it is (according to past and present Live statistics).
I personally, have zero interest in Halo 3, 2, or 1, but I would have a really hard time claiming it did not meet its hype before release. With any product, its impossible to have 100% customer satisfaction. Just because a vocal minority perceives the game as inferior to previous installments, does not equate to not meeting hype expectations.
I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.
