We all know this already.

SEARCH BUTTON. Please.

I think there should be a huge banner on the front page of all the forums, that's just impossible to overlook, that says, "EVERYONE, USE THE SEARCH FORUMS BUTTON BEFORE YOU MAKE A THREAD, ESPECIALLY ROOKIE MEMBERS!" (With all-caps and everything.)

This is the worst I've ever seen this problem (not your thread in particular, but the overwhelming number of repeat threads on the forum).
Second. You have to have known there would be a Halo 3 thread AND a Halo 3 'hate' thread already.

Wait, when did Halo 3 come out? How could I have missed it? There's been so little discussion of it...

.....was very overhyped because it may be a wel made game but it's nothing special, it's just another shooter and a mediocre one at best.
Funny, that's EXACTLY how I felt about Gears 2.

I thought was pretty good, not some shining god of a game but pretty good, everyone else can fuck right off for all care.
Stop ripping the story, it is well thought out if somehow cliched. Stop ripping the gameplay, it is balanced and well done. And the soundtrack is fucking beautiful.
Amen to all of those.

Alot of people don't like it BECAUSE of all the hype it gets......

Just look at Gears of War 2; better graphics, better controls, better story and above all way cooler online.
Apples and oranges my friend. Of course Gears 2 is going to have better graphics, it released over a year after Halo 3. I guess you could compare controls but it wouldn't make any sense, since the gameplay of each game is completely different. Story? Come on, really? This is Gears of War we're talking about. And your online comment is debatable. Very debatable. Yes, Gears has Horde, and matchmaking is a slight improvement on Halo 3 (I like being able to vote on a map and gametype, instead of having to veto a bad map and gametype, in the hopes that an even worse combination wouldn't show up). But other than that, the matchmaking isn't very different from Halo 3's (except for the obvious changes of gametypes and gameplay). Halo had Forge, which combined with the almost unlimited options of custom games, has spawned some really fun minigames created specifically for certain maps (Grifball, Cat and Mouse chase, hell there are even racetrack maps).

Perfect? No. Overrated? Maybe. Still fun more than a year later? Absolutely.

Where's the never played option? (Just no interest not hatered of it.)

Oh a question for anyone: Does Master Chief have an actual name? I've heard there are books that add to the story og Halo but I've only ever heard of him referred to as Master Chief.

I actually didn't wanna comment here but what the hell aye, oki as stated further up about the grapichs halo3 was created about a year before gears 2, with the evolution of grapichs and shit that isn't such a good point in my opinion. Better controls..... well i haven't got a fuggin idea because i haven't tried gears :)still the controls in Halo is pretty good and easy and i like them. The better story part... in Gears i haven't gotten the entire story (because i haven't played it) but from what ive heard the story is not the point of this game. from what ive heard its not as much about the story its more about cutting someone up whit a chainsaw. And my experience with online play in most games is that its often more about the players, i could have a fucking good time playing most games online as long as the people i were playing with were cool.

anyways final word. Nothing is ever perfect ...... other than a taco that doesn't break.

I've always thought Halo was a pretty pants concept and series of games but I must admit I've been having fun recently playing the first one multiplayer in college. It's been done to death I a million other things and its not brining anything original to the gaming world.

Oh, and, the whole "people hate it because its popular" argument is pathetic. It's just a cop-out for people that love it to make the haters appear as if they have no logic behind their opinions.

why is there so much anger towoards Halo 3?
these threads have been done and yes it sucked in the story but it had good points and it is not the company that makes the game it is the gamer that makes it because they create what the game is. without gamers like ourselves where would the games be??

After reading all your reactions I gues my oppinion on Halo 3 didn't take so wel. So let me explain some things; I never said Halo 3 wasn't fun but I didn't say it was fun because I wanted to tell you why the game is overrated, secondly Gears of War 2 was just an example there are many shooters that are better than Halo 3 like Doom for instance. (just joking)

I think Halo 3 was an amazing game but it wasn't perfect, but come on, saying GOW2 has better online play?

Have you even played both of them online? Anyone would have the sense to know that Halo 3 has better online play, the ranks actually work and the servers are so Americanized!

I honestly hated halo 3. It was definitely one of the worst games I've ever played.
What other games have you played? If the worst game you've ever played was Halo 3, then you have had an amazing gaming career.
He said ONE OF THE WORST not the worst
learn to fucking read
Wow, I missed 2 words, don't fly off the handle. My point still stands though; if an average game is one of the worst he's played, he's had a good gaming career.
