Forums - Microsoft - Halo 3 as good as they say?

The best thing about Halo 3 is probably the way Bungie managed to balance all of the gameplay elements. Vehicles, weapons, grenades, and melee. The balance is not entirely perfect, but it is better than 99% of games out there.

I never have nor ever will get the appeal of playing FPS games on the PC. I find hitting the ctrl button to shoot or pointing with the mouse to be really lame. As for Halo 3...it is as good as they say.

Ctrl button to shoot man what game were you playing Doom1???

 

 Hehe, exactly my thoughts. :d

 

 Actually, that is the last FPS I played on the PC. I guess after 14 years I should give a FPS on the PC another try.

Halo 3 has the best local multiplayer of any game on the HD systems, and that's why you should get it.

 

 Hahahaha.  Hahahahahaha. Haha.  HAHAHAHA!   Haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaahahahaha!!

 

 You aren't going to last long here are you? Be mature.

 

 Oh, I'll last a while.  And keep your suggestions to yourself please.  I happen to find that statement flat-out halarious.  I actually laughed out loud.

twesterm put it best.  If you liked Halo 1 and 2, you'll probably like 3.  If you didn't like Halo 1 and 2, you probably wont like 3.

Eh.  Debateable.  I thought Halo 1 was horrible, but I didn't play it til after Halo 2, and a downgrade is never good.  But, then again, we can thank MS for how this series turned out.  Halo 1 should have been a lot more like Halo 2, and Halo 2 should have been a lot more like Halo 3.  Had that been the case, Halo 3 probably would have had a lot more innovative perks and differences from Halo 2, and I probably would have liked it a lot better.  For me, it just didn't bring enough new content.  They did improve on a few things, and add a few little things, but all in all it just wasn't that much different from 2 for me.  Seems many disagree with me, but whatever..out of 6 '360 Fanboy' friends of mine, only 1 still has the game.  And all 6 of those friends played Halo 2 like crazy.  I don't know - you figure it out.

You seem to have a habit of laughing in people's faces. So once again be mature.

 

And whoever made the post about an 'Ignore User' feature is spot-on.  You're annoying, mind your own business.  I laughed once, and not even at you.  So, I could say the same thing to you..maturity is in part minding your own business, its the children who keep saying 'Daddy, Daddy' while he's talking to other adults.

Halo 2 is the worst game in the series.

 

no doubt



Halo 3's singleplayer is awesome. If you like sci fi stories that is. From 1 -3 it has an excellent story and the best AI in any FPS. Multiplayer is also the best in any console FPS. COD4 is overated. Singleplayer in COD4 just uses constant enemy respawns to make it harder, so when you get close enough to a building they will stop appearing at the windows. Also the mulitiplayer is good in COD4 but not Halo 3 good.

Dude you come to VGchartz and act this way. Way to make friends. Seriously laughing at peoples opinions isn't a nice thing to do. It's not like his opinion doesnt have any ground. It's one of the most played online games out there. The only reason COD4 would have more is because it's multiplat.

 



Halo 3, Halo 3 tsk tsk Halo 3!!!! Its full of WIN!!!!!

The single-player aspect of the game is on point. I would recommend doing co-op story with 3 other people on the Legendary mode. It's way cooler and plus you get all the achievements that way and if you do have someone that beat the game already. They will surely know where all the skull locations are for you to get those achievements too.

The multiplayer aspect of Halo 3 is also good. I like the whole ranking system they incorprating and p.s. this was my first time ever playing Halo online. I never played Halo online and seeing as how this was my first time. I enjoyed it and I would say this is the best FPS for online purposes!!!

The online gripe I have about the Halo 3 online part. Is that many people throughout the Halo community tend to make false or should I say second accounts. Where as they know how to play the game but they tend to play other gamertags so that it would seem like they are rookies but when you are in-game, they just thrash you left to right and they end up with a 30 kill and 2 death spread.

That is so fucking annoying seeing people do that shit. But other than that the game is top notch. There is lag in the game but its at its minimal because people tend to quit a lot, the graphics are top notch. I really don't care for the maps that Bungie has released I like the maps that came standard with the game. But other than that I have been playing this game faithfully since the day it launched!!

Seriously pick this game up its so a 10/10!!!



halo3 has a good multiplayer, but COD4's is 1000000000000000000000000000 times better!

Have you seen the guys who gain a whole bunch of levels then quit games left and right so they end up with 0 XP?  That way they are really shitty rank but they are good and play newbs all the time.  My brother and me were playing Double team yesterday and since we are only 24s and both of us play together well we actually beat one of those kids yesterday.  The kid with 0 XP name was actually Xx 0 EXP xX.  He thought he was gonna roll us but he quit when we went up 20 - 8 after they went up on us 6 - 1 at first.



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

COD 4 has the best online on X360. Halo 3 online is second best on the X360. Halo 3 has up to 4 player co-op campaign on one console, the only X360 game that offers that.
