Halo 3 sucks

[Justintiime]

simply because I suck at video games, and I just got all the halo 3 achievements I really hope they add more later like they did with Gears. Plus, I still want my damn Gauss in matchmaking!

Who cares about Halo 3 anymore? Call of Duty 4 drops in mere weeks!

If you got all the achievements then you definitely don't suck! I'm not even close to getting all of them. I've never even done that on any game.

Halo is guhh.... lame-o?

I'm already letting my copy collect dust. It's okay for a while, but then it's just more of the same: me getting beat down, even after I've shot and punched the other guy... yet I get killed.

I know I'm not the best player (especially with this game), but I've never had asshandings in any other shooter like I get with this one.

Masterchief is a 'tard, too. Yeah, I said it.

Now I don't usually play the multiplayer console games. So I speak for only the single player campaign. But Halo 3 was kinda meh , Halo 2 prettier. It was fun but same enemies, same guns for the most part, mostly the same vehicles. Would have been nice to have something besides Halo2 with better graphics.

It would have been nice if matchmaking had dedicated servers there is no reason why such a big name game should not have them.

LOL My sediments exactly, I have - back smacked, punched, shotgunned, grenaded, plasma pistol, rocketed and grenade suck the same person and they turn around and shoot me in the foot with a pistol and I die. (I was standing behind them in a pile of weapons)

I only played the Legendary level and that was it, any extra achievements were luck, now I'm just collecting a layer of dust on mine as well, I just don't have the excitement to play that the other Halo games gave me. In my opinion maybe when you put to much bling around a Diamond, the Diamond gets lost in all that crap you surround it in. Major over achievement in game improvements for my gaming preference.

The 5 ton weapons that you can barely walk with, new bulky vehicles - hey if they weren't in the old game why in the hell did they come into the new game. Just more bling, I want to hunt the enemy and shoot them, but not from a crowded freeway in LA while trying to carry a tank under my arm.

Okay. I want to post this and this is a fine enough thread. It was written by a guy named Sno at another forum that I visit.

Really though, what Halo does, and you have to play it on the higher difficulties to get the effect, is that is has wonderfully dynamic combat with a real tactical edge.

If GoldenEye made FPS games work on the consoles, Halo made them work well.

The first Halo also introduced a number of subtle innovations that have become pretty much standard in shooters these days.

I mean, some the Halo "firsts" include regenerating health, hotkey grenades, smart allied-AI's, vehicular combat in an FPS context, strict limits on weapon carrying, etc.

Halo wasn't necessarily the first to do all of those things, but it was the first to really nail them.

Still, as much as i like the first Halo, i really hate the second game.

It was rushed and it shows, in that it was buggy and incomplete and lacking many of the things that made the first game great. (For one thing, instead of large open-ended combat spaces, the level design was extremely linear.)

Even so, you listen to Bungie talk about the second Halo and they go on and on about how they had to compromise to make their deadline, that they really ^@%$ up, those guys are amazingly hard on themselves.

Halo 3, they didn't compromise anything, they took their time, they really went above and beyond, and it's certainly the best game in the series.

I mean, more than that, it always kind of felt like the first game was a bit of a happy accident. (The first game had quite a development history behind it too, starting off as a strategy game, becoming a third-person shooter, and finally settling on first-person action.) They just stumbled into something that really worked very well, and when they went to make Halo 2, they still didn't really understand their own creation.

I think they sort of figured it out for Halo 3.

All that said, Halo 3 is still very much a Halo game, and if you were to go in expecting huge dramatic leaps forward, you'd be disappointed.
