Really??? You do realize how that comment sounds right?

The game has been out for almost a year, its had to compete against a slew of FPS from The Orange Box to Unreal 3 to CoD 4 and its hit #1 or #2 every week on Live.

7 million people play Wii Fit. 14 million play Wiiplay. 28 Million play WiiSports. Halo 3 is easily of the most dissapointing purchase I have made for my 360. Every FPS you named on that list is better than it, but like you mentioned, it is still #1 or 2 every week on live. Again; just because alot of people play a game does not make the game good.

I am totally agree

i had gears of war 1, i initially though it to be a masterpiece, but once i got to the kryll bat things it all slowed down from there, near the end i just quickly wanted to finish it and trade it in.

single play was ok but with splendid grafix, although the levels were all close and small sections it was still ok.

i tried online with the trail card, and didnt go back to it again.

i feel gears 2 will be more of the same, all they have done is tried to improve on the orig which im sure they will do, but its insomniacs game thats the day 1 purchase for me, it clearly has better online features and i cant wait to try out single player.

insomniac have tooken from the cod4 model in where online when you kill someone you register a +10 and anyone who has played cod4 will know how cool that score feature is when it comes up on screen.

in resistance 2, when you are gunning someone down, the score goes up like a timer, and its possible for someone to pinch your score tally if they get the kill instead.

either way resistance 2 is the shooter im looking forward to most this year, i will also have socom by then, then its roll on killzone 2

OT them type of videos dont really work well, as gears and resistance are kind of different games.

So let me get this straight

The game is still played by a million people a year after its release, it has a AAA rating from metacritic, its consistently used as the measure stick for all other FPS's but since you don't like it the game its no good?? <-- read that out loud and see how stupid it sounds.

And if Halo 3 isn't any good, why do PS3 fanboys keep calling every upcoming Sony FPS "Halo Killer"??

The funny thing is that I actually prefer CoD4 over Halo 3, and Gears over both. I'm not one of those addicts either but theres a reason why they exists. And your attempt to compare those hardcore players to the casual crowd is stupid not too mention that all three come with hardware.

its called having different things to do. Which makes it fun..... fun effects gameplay...... makes it better to play...... do you see where hes going with that?

I had a huge post written up last night, but this is getting beyond pointless, so I refrained from posting it.

Gebx, although I see your point to a degree, you still disappoint me.

Kill tracking isn't remotely near what I was talking to. Have you ever played Resistance online? Have you ever seen the online statistics for Resistance? It doesn't sound like you have, because the stat tracking system of Halo 3, like CoD4, PALES in comparison. This isn't an opinion, it's a fact. There is no other game with as detailed information of online statistics at the current time than Resistance: Fall of Man. Period..this shouldn't even be argued about..if you argue it, you're being a fanboy. Sorry, it's true.

Being able to curb-stomp your oponent is nice, but only 4v4? That'll be fun for the first few days, but I play online multiplayer with 8 or 9 people. That's going to be boring for me and all of my friends when we have to neglect to play with a few just because the game is too small in scale. But like you said - both games aren't going to appeal to the same people all the time.

I'll reiterate my opinion one more time that the reason Halo 3 is so popular is because it's a 'newer version' of Halo 2. The game is very similar..and did Halo 2 not have some of the highest ratings pre-Halo 3? No one wants to play an old version of the same game, and the old version was extremely popular. It shouldn't be surprising that the new one is just as popular.

My argument against Halo 3 is that the difference between it an Halo 2 is so small that it's not even worth it. And almost every friend that I played Halo 2 hardcore with no longer plays Halo 3 because most of them agree. Good thing for Bungie, though, that a lot of other people don't get tired of playing the same thing with new maps. For me - I do.

I also like sniping from 50 feet away or using an Auger to kill people who like to hide behind walls or using a splicer to cut someones heart out. You prefer chainsawing and curb-stomping. To each his own.
