Halo 3 is every where...

Is it just me or is this a little overkill for one game.
It's in every single store I've been to (stores that sell games, respectively) and is even on pretty much every single website, and channel on the tv.

Normally, I wouldn't be disturbed by ads, but this is a little crazy, is it not?

It's a big game, a major one, remember the hype over goldeneye?

Yeah i know what you mean...but its because we don't like halo that much, it was like this for wii too. They advertised Zelda soo much.

I've just been staying out of stores.

So I have some halo superfag fanyboys who claim halo is the godsend of fps, the end all of fps gaming.  I tried to convince them otherwise, with such ideas like half life, bioshock, and many others.  They would not listen.  I printed off the leaked spoilers to halo three and yelled them.  Before they knew what was happening, they knew the ending to the game.

Oh i forgot something, http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2881 Further more proof.

Also i convinced other people that bioshock was better through a trailer.

No proof there, masterchief is the best out of them.

hav life 2 is like so leam, it dosnt even have a guy in a kool green soot.

Seriously, though, wtf is this shit? It's everywhere, on the MP3 boards on GameFAQs either it's HALO fans comparing, or HALO fans bashing.

Halo is overrated...
I gotta hand it to Microsoft, Halo 2's campaign blew dick big time, and they ripped off PC users who wanted to play online. They're fanboyism is strong...

I propose war to the greats evils of Halo.
We will gather a party of RMRK's finest warriors and set out to destroy the one Halo to rule them all.
The Fellowship of the Halo.

This is a true fact. the game is coming out on 9.25.07 then after that its literally be everywhere on the floor of the disappointed players in the arms of the people who bought it just to say they brought halo 3 and if you don't have it you will... so in 4 day its going to be everywhere.

Everybody is making a big deal about Bungie's past games, before, nobody cared about them, just HALO, now, it's this big deal to know everything about Bungie and their old FPSs for the Mac.

I don't mind halo. Mjolnir armor DOES look cool.
However, it isn't the end-all of gaming. The multiplayer is well suited to casual parties and the like, and there's no doubt it's fun, but it still isn't the greatest multiplayer ever, and far from the best FPS ever. The Full-motion ads are well directed, and really just make me want to go onto ebay to buy the props

It is too overhyped though. The Dew flavor, by the way, is Livewire + Code Red. It isn't bad.

 
This hardcore Xbox fanboy who thinks the Wii and PS3 sucks balls and denied his Xbox was faulty. He got Halo 3 and when he started playing it, he got the Red Ring of Death.

Half-Life (1&2)
Time Splitters 2
Quake II
Metroid Prime 3 (As 3 is the only one that is really considered an fps)
Bioshock
Counterstrike

All of those games lay shame to the "Halo Name".

I personally don't really enjoy Counterstrike. Besides that, I haven't played MP3 (no Wii : /) or Time Splitters, but I personally prefer the UT series to Halo any day.

You left out many other games, such as Deus Ex.

Rainbow Six: Vegas is a WHOLE lot of fun.

Halo sucks balls.

I played Halo 1 about a quarter of the way through before I grew tired of it.

I played Halo 2 for about 10 minutes before turning my Xbox off and never playing it again.

Halo 3 is an easy bunch of turd and fanboy faggots need to go die.

I enjoy Halo, although I've only played it on multiplayer (no xbox).

I went to the relase of halo at midnight in my local games store.
I played it like 10 hours before most of you.
It wasnt much different from the others.

Oh and I bought

Nope i stick with COD3, i prefer it, the scene of the WW1-WW2, i just find it more interesting.

Have you SEEN the COD4 tech demo? I am really tired of playing the same WWII battles over and over again, they arn't going to get any better. I'm ready for the masters of WWII to turn to modern day.

Well until they make the game, not a tech demo, i'll stick with COD3 then.

and I'll stick with halo 2.

I've played call of duty 4.

Halo 3 is a good game but I admit there are better games like America's Army!

CoD4 is going to wipe the floor with Halo 3's multiplayer. Besides, the "Forge" is basically a toned-down G-mod for Halo.
Has anybody else read about CoD 4's multiplayer? It's going to be awesome.

It wont.

There are better single-player experiences.

Ok. so? 

TimeSplitters 2.
I played HALO: CE single player for PC, it pretty much sucked.

Medal of honour games are pretty good.
They are alot of fun.

I played one level of HCE, the spaceship one. It's pretty much like another run and shoot. I don't think i'll ever get sequels of games like Halo, Unreal Tournament, or Fifa, cuz all are pretty much the same.

But i have no idea how halo 2 is.

Bioshock is all single player, play it now.

bioshock like halo 3 are on a list of games i will never play unless its certain conditions 

But the truth is that Halo 3 has the set the bar very high for other FPS. If COD 4 has 4 player co-op off line and vehicles, then it reach that bar or even pass it! I have good hopes for COD 4 to be better than Halo 3.

Halo raised the bar for stupid "gamers" who wouldn't know a decent game if it bit them in the ass.

It isnt a bad game, it simply has it's own play-style that, at the time, was unique, but that is now the "standard" for FPS games.
CoD is a great series though, and even by not having played it, I can tell that it's shaping up to be amazing.

I played one level of HCE, the spaceship one. It's pretty much like another run and shoot. I don't think i'll ever get sequels of games like Halo, Unreal Tournament, or Fifa, cuz all are pretty much the same.

...CE is is multiplayer only...
This is a completely different discussion, but (at least with UT) "sequels" (I prefer to use the word "iterations" for UT, as it really doesn't have much of a story) introduce new gameplay elements such as vehicles and game-types. UTIII is basically just adding new vehicles and a modified version of Onslaught, but it still is going to be a great game as well.

We all know the best FPS ever was Goldeneye on N64.

My friend went to a Halo 3 party yesterday.
And like.
There were 6 xbox 360s.

1 got the red ring of death, and scratched the Halo 3 inside of it so it doesn't work anymore.
And another just scratched the disk so it won't work anymore.
The guy that got the RRoD just got that Xbox360 2 days ago, and it was his 3rd one.
Now he's gotta send it in and get a 4th one.

Oh, and my friend said the multiplayer was basically like Halo 2, 'cept some new weapons, in which some of the new weapons were actually old ones. And some other stuff I forgot he said. They all got bored of it after awhile.

Okay, to be honest, hating Halo is officially a bandwagon in of itself.

Nowadays, it's considered "popular" to hate Halo.

Those of us who enjoy Halo, enjoy it because we're honest with ourselves and don't think about whether or not we'll be popular.

As for those who are obsessed with Halo3 and waited outside the store for weeks (etc.), there's people like that for everything in the world.

Books, movies, games, cars. You name it, people have waited for it. Some people do it because they feel the need to finish or watch or drive it before anybody else. Some people do it because they naturally have a sub-concious which tells them they need to finish what they've started.

I don't say this because I'm obsessed with Halo -- I'm not. I say this because I think it's unfair to those of us who enjoy the game if people continuously bash the game. We know there's better games. We've played them. Heck, I've enjoyed other games more than Halo. (Deus Ex !)

But this bandwagon of people who hate Halo and the media that supports it (media is not limited to articles and news btw) takes things out of context saying that Halo is not the end-all of FPS games. Who every said it was? Nobody.

So, in the imortal words of some guy in New York -

GET OVER IT

(No offense intended btw)

I played Halo 3, and to be honest, its alot better then the other ones. Not revolutionary, but s'ok.

Heck, I've enjoyed other games more than Halo. (Deus Ex !)

Amen,,Deus Ex was DA BOMB!  Halo3 must be an awesome game since so many people bought it,,but I never played it....

None of the Halo's are really that great of games. They just happen to have really fun multiplayer. Go figure.


I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but Halo never has, and probably never will hold a place in the "best of 200x" categories because, well, all around it's kind of a mediocre game. Solid, sure, though single player may be a bit lacking, but not mind-blowing or revolutionary like, say, Bioshock or Dead Rising.


It's good for what it is, a mindless, no strategy involved, run up and kill things like rambo game.

Don't disagree with this point, i was playing three today, and i could beat the game if they didn't switch the controls around on 360, you just run in and shoot everything while your friend sits back as a mobile spawn point.

I never really thought Halo was good from the beginning...

The first one was the worst, and the others aren't much better.  Halo 1 is like it was made by a bunch of 10 year olds, it has stereotypical ideas, simple gameplay, and crappy level design.  Go look at hl1, it looks like a refined, smooth, project made by professionals.

I liked the third ones campain more then two, but i say i think three is right up there for one player.
