Is the Halo series even overrated anymore? (By gamers that is)

Fans of Halo are usually too busy online playing it, that they don't have time to whine about it, or call it "overrated garbage".  What happens online is others who resent its success, and the fact it is a reason for the XBox brand of consoles being viable, resent that it drives people away from the Playstation brand, or the L33T PC gamer hates that it sold as well, and means that Microsoft is betraying them by giving them another options besides PCs as an outlet for software.

Is Halo all that, and worthy of a 7-Eleven beverage?  I would say nope, but that is marketing on the part of Microsoft to exploit, develop and establish a niche in the console arena that is now huge, that being FPS>

People don't have to have some sort of hidden agenda for not liking a game, this same thread could replace Halo 3 with Metal Gear Solid and there will still be people who love the franchise and other's who dislike it. I don't think people's judgement of a game should be narrowed down to fanboy rant or fanboy praise.

Halo 3 has floaty control's and silly AI.. just sayin
