Poll: Do you like Halo 3?

[hippo24]

I liked halo 3, but not nearly as much as its two older siblings.

 

[Inverse Skies]

Yeah it's alright. I got bored towards the end but it was still alright. It definitely wasn't the worst game I've ever played.

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

Right, that sorta confirms the broad muting policy. I'm not inclined to take orders from a stranger anymore than I'm willing to listen to someone jabber. If you want to do team play coordinate it with your pals, it isn't L4D.

Well, mostly I'm telling people not to be an idiot (wait for a gunner, bomb goes the other way, stop dying we only have a narrow lead and there's less than a minute left). So assuming you aren't an idiot we can both happily sulk misanthropically.

Oof, sorry, that came across rude. I play split-screen with a friend usually so we've got the whole coordinating thing down. We're the assholes tearing people up in the Warthog or delivering the bomb most sessions.

 

[Anachronism]

It's nothing special, but it's a solid game nonetheless. It wasn't innovative or revolutionary in the slightest, and the story was distinctly mediocre, but it can still be good fun to play, especially if you're doing co-op with friends.

becose of halo alot of games now use rechargeable health
becose of halo alot of games restrict the amount of weapons you carry
becose of halo alot of console games use a specific "button" for grannades

there are probly more ways that halo has effected modern video games (especially on console), these are just some off the top of my head.

im not saying halo invented these but it certainly popurlarized them & made many developers copy or do there own version, COD's popular (console) control scheme was developed from HALO's.

PS: maybe this is one of the reason people hate it so much.

 

[weirdbros]

it was good until i tried w@w

 

[Alexious]

I thought it was average until I realised it was one of the few games you can play 4 player multiplayer on the same console.

 

[soulasylum85]

i dont hate it. i just dont like it. it doesnt do anything wrong it just doesnt do anything exceptionally well. its a very generic shooter and i find it boring. i really dont see why people are obsessed with it. the story, characters, and gameplay are all just really generic and boring. gears, cod, and left 4 dead all have way better multiplayer. and yes i do own a copy of halo 3.

 

[grimmmy]

Hell no.

It's a generic FPS, and I really don't understand why it's so popular. Plenty of better games on the PC.(The BF series, for example.)

Thats exactly my sentiments towards the whole halo series, not just the third one.
Halo 3 specificly, I found the plot to be dull and the game mechanics to be generic.

The only thing, imo, that halo 3 does reletively well is multiplayer. Its not my bag, I find it a little too hectic but it still alright to play. COD series however, does multiplayer better imo (yes, even COD:WaW)

IMO, the only reason halo is popular is that it was the first FPS to even do FPS's relatively well on consoles. It in theory, brought FPS to the masses. Could be a good thing, maybe a bad.

 

[I_LIKE_CAKE]

Like all Halo games, play it coop for a good time. Actually, coop can make any game fun, I mean hell, I enjoyed playing Haze with a friend and that game is awful. Don't listen to people who say Halo is crap, because Bungie is a competent dev, and with the budget Microsoft gave them, they were going to produce a competent shooter. Sure it was over-rated and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over-hyped, and some people are going to dislike that. In addition, no single game is going to appeal to everyone, so naturally those who hate want everyone else to stop having fun.

 

[Aunel]

I just played through it yesterday with a friend, its short, the cutscences are boring, it felt very unoriginal, the stuff they added no one would notice if they were gone. Multiplayer sucks, I preffer more tactic in my multiplayer games, not just run around shooting everything shaped unlike yourself.

In halo it's not SHAPED unlike you, it's all about colour, so if you are the blue team, shoot anything red, if you are the red team shoot anything blue.

 

[-=sch1zm=-]

some people don't like it because the first time they play it, it takes them a whole clip to kill an enemy online, which is different to COD4 for example

 

[-=sch1zm=-]

and i like playing it for the fact that you can make your own maps and custom games to play with your friend, which gives you something to be creative with and gives loads of possibilities rather than the simple online team battles of the COD series

 

[Low Frost]

Yea, I do. It's a fun little romp, and I dig the armor design and music.

 

[Mighty Wulrus]

Halo 3 is a competent game that is hyped up by fan-boys and I enjoy playing it but have disabled all outside voice communication as 9 times out of 10 the people are arseholes...
If you also feel this way please add my Gamertag and we could play a few games It is "Mighty Wulrus" with all spaces and capitals...

 

[RollForInitiative]

I found Halo 3 to be an exercise in poor design decisions and worse level design. I enjoy playing just about anything co-op but that game was the absolute limit.

 

[minibond321]

The campaign is alright,it doesnt set the world on fire, its nowhere near as good as either 1 or 2 but its alright.Whats more i've played alot worse fps.
I know its been said before buts its strength is the multiplayer element, and its because of that multiplayer element that its still being discussed about 2 years after its release.

Further more what annoys me, and i think annoys alot of people its the fact that everybody has apprantly got to either love halo or hate it, there seems to be no middle gound. I remarkably play it because I find it to be FUN ( i noticed that word doesnt appear here very often,, hence the capitals)If you find it FUN play it, if you dont find it FUN dont, why does it have to be any more complicated than that?

 

[iggyus]

Halo 3 is for online only. The single player is unoriginal and bland (Which in Halos case isnt a bad thing). But when you put that into multiplayer with lots of dudes then it becomes over the top kill fest with lots of fun. I personally am not a fan of Halo 3 since I play games for the story

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Its not a bad game. Its not good, but its not bad.
