Halo has always been an overrated series. Being popular does not make it good.

4 of my friends bought a 360 because of Halo 3. Now none of them play it anymore, 2 are playing COD4 which both agree is better than Halo and the 2 others are playing AC.

Today I went over to my friends house to play Halo 3 after 20 minutes of boredom I changed the game to AC which I played for the rest of the afternoon.

Bottom line Halo 3 is not that good, good, but not that good.

Then you didnt play multiplayer.

 

Im sorry but i dont believe one word that you said. Considering your sig i can clearly see your prefer sony.

If its not that good, but good why is it so danm loved. It amazes me you guys think how basic it is, yet is one of the most played multiplayers ever, and is loved by millions. It just blows my mind.

I just cant believe what you people are stating to me. It may be your opinion but that doesnt change the fact that tons of people love halo and think tis easily GOTY material


 Just becuase people "love it" doesnt mean its good. ton of chicks love the movie the notebook,  it doesnt make that a GREAT movie. Saying GOTY should be based on how many people love it is just stupid. It should be based on average critics rating. Which Halo 3 got a 9.2/10. i am not saying that is bad just saying games like Call of duty 4 and Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime did better in that.


No by popular meaning its "goty" to most people GOTY is opinion, gamerankings is NOT fact on how great a game is. No one will ever know because its based on opinion. GOTY to many will be bioshock or halo 3, or mass effect, or galaxy, or uncharted, or whatever. But opinions are opinions, and to many GOTy is halo 3, and many think that so popularity will always have a huge influence over game awards because its GOTY to many. If spike wants to go completely based on its own opinion then you cant attack it.

Halo has a 9.32 on gamerankings and a 9.4 on metacritic...... that and it beats out metroid prime big time with a 89...... and your ratchet and clank uncharted games didnt even get into the 9's so why are you listing them. Your logic is flawed there as well


 Once again do your research...

Rachet and Clank:

Spike TV, Rated M for Moronic.

Halo 3 is just not a fun game and does not deserve the GOTY nomination, much less winning it. COD4 is 10 times the game Halo is and so much fun to play online. I'll probably trade in my Halo 3 and another game and pick up UT3 or some other game.

My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my charizard.

Halo 3 does deserve to win GOTY
Its an amazing game with the best Multiplayer
And Yes I played COD4 MP and it is not as fun as Halo MP

Different strokes for different folks. I personally do not like Halo 3 and I think the multiplayer is trash.   COD4 is heads and shoulders above Halo 3.   The hype machine for Halo 3 is alive and well though.

Spike awards were never that accurate, even though the advisory panel has some good reviewers in it.

Also, lemme guess who's gonna win the game fuel award....oh that's right, the game the product was launched for.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
