Microsofts third installment of halo is average at best in comparison to its predicesors; new online features make this a must have for any XBOX360 owner.

Although the overated status of this game makes the game lose its all around credibilty due to fanboys and massive/"not-so-mature" online community.

Seems over 50% of the people who bought this game did so on day 1 in the US... It kind of makes me wonder how this game would do if it had to sell on its own merit, I mean at least 50% of the people who bought this game before anyone really new what it was like... oh well, it looks pretty sweet, someday when I get an x360 i will get this and COD4

in my opinion

Single player - 8/10 (too short)
Multiplayer - 10/10 (awesome maps)
Online - 10/10 (no lag (even though i have an awful connection))
Theatre - 8/10 (needs rewind and skip scene buttons)
Forge - 7/10 (..money factor should be removed)

..remember this is my opinion..

i thought this game was gonna be awful when i was a ninty fanboy... then i played it and now im an xbox fanboy :P

The singleplayer mode alternates pretty evenly between unbeliveably epic, attrociously horrible, and meh. Co-op makes it about a million times more fun, especially with 3 or 4 players online. Me and a friend of mine started playing it at 17.00 and were finished by 02.30 even thought we took an hour or so of breaks, so it's not very long either.

What the game really is about is the kickass multiplayer. I've only played it on 4 player splitscreen, but even that was so much fun I can't imagine what it would be like online. Especially for the Yanks, who appear to be required by law to demand online multiplayer in every game they play. =P

Every 360 owner who plays online should buy it. If you can co-op and multi it is worth any price, and even the single is fun but co-op is waaaay better.

Don't be hatin just cause it's awesome.

May not be the best game of all time but it's the best halo and worth ANYONE's pruchase.

@ Onimusha12, well im not so sure about that,
If you think they were running out of things to do with Halo 3 remember that the only big PS3 (Successful) titles left for release(that I can think of anyway)are on at least version 4 and at worst something like 15 i.e FF....
And Nintendo Pokemon's etc what number are they on now?

Little has changed with the above titles but its all about brand name etc and like the titles above Halo has that to....Plus of course most people like Halo because its amazing never ending online game play......

I'm glad Bungie broke away from MS's absolute control to avoid making Halo 4, this was a series they were really running out of stuff to do with, even putting their best into things could only go downhill, I'm glad to see they have integrity.

i love halo 3, i would love call of duty more if i had an easy to see ranking system cause when i play it its just like theres no point to go all out in the games. personally, i liked bioshock better than gears and halo becuase fps arte funny in the beginning and end, but boring in the middle, and bioshock has tons of replay value and so many things to do it never gets boring

Halo 3 is decent. But like Halo 2, it adds nothing new to the FPS series. I give this game an 8/10. I think the reason this game gets so much crap is because of how overrated it is, some people just have to score it down really low.

halo 3 was on ok game. i personally liked the second better because of the levels. i dont quite understand why people think that the halo games are so great i personally would rather play call of duty 2. if xobx and xbox 360 didnt have any of the halo games then xbox and 360 would be a ps2 and a ps3 with worse graphics. but overall wii is the greatest console.

However, the more important factor is that this site is absolutely overran by fanboys. The ratings need to be disabled, since they mean next to nothing. Every game deserving of a 9 or 10 gets an 8 or 7 instead, thanks to the brainless fanboys from all systems who rate them 0.

I agree with this 100%, I sent a friend here so he could see how great Halo was selling and he was like, "it's got an average score of 7.6, it can't be that good." They should definitely just have the scores from critics because it means a ton more!

And as for Halo I'd have to say I absolutely despise first person shooters. I don't enjoy them at all. The only 4 I own are, Golden Eye 007, Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3. It is my least favorite genre by far and yet halo is my favorite game of all time. The game is just absolutely incredible, and you don't have to be an FPS fan to like it.

Halo 3 is okay, but not great. The maps are crap and the melee system is broken. I'm going back to Gears of War until Unreal Tournament III, Call of Duty 4, and Haze release (I only mentioned shooters, there's alot more games I'll be buying in November as well). While those games hold me over for awhile, new maps will have released for Halo 3 along with updates to fix gameplay. I rated it a 7 because it's just not what I expected.

Is H3 the greatest crafted game ever? No, and that's from a firm 360 fanboy.
Is it the most consistent fun, day in and day out, that I've had on my 360? Yes, and I never played online with Halo2.
While hunting for Easter eggs, the co-op campaign, and Team Big Battles are loads of fun, the inclusion of Forge, Theater, Bungie.net, Using screenshots as my desktop wallpaper . . . all fantastic, and like the "only 2 weapons" standard, or the "rechargeing shields" standard, I fully expect games developed from here on out to adopt these new ideas in other games.
Theater especially -- great addition, and something I can't understand why nobody has included until now.

Yes, the Nintendo fanboys can't bear to see their precious games be thwarted by any Halo game. Good to see Metroid Prime is lower than Halo 1 though, that's fitting. Actually, all Metroid games should be lower than Halo games (and yes I've played them) but that ain't the case. The only fair Ninty fanboy I know on here is Zucas.

Hrm, i also find this site funny, its great to see people start off with sensible comments, suddenly changing to "Your a FANBOY, you know nothing". The game is good, no-one is contesting that, its obviously a good game so if anyone is saying it isnt please shut up. For all of you out there who say it is the best game of the year, please say 'so far' and please say in your opinion because no game can claim that for someone else. Basically it is good but its achievements are lowered due to a short campaign (yes i've played and beaten it in Legendary). Because its a Halo game, people are going to be defensive about any criticisms against it but for GODS sake, please understand that everyone has different preferences and that the game ISNT perfect. It does have flaws, most games do, please accept them and stop being abusive because of it.

Timesplitters is, and always has been, a pathetic mediocre, below average shooter where the enemies are generic and seem to be constructed out of playdoh. Or perhaps that's just because their art department sucks so much ass.

Halo on the other hand, is a ton of fun online. If you like Half life and that soap opera bullshit, go play your 3000 dollar PC rig and have fun with it. We could care less.

Sure Gears of War and Call of Duty 4 are better in basically every way. But Halo is still far, far more polished and fun than the average shooter.

Play Rainbow Six vegas and tell me its better than Halo 3. No non retarded person could say that.

No one game can claim the title of "Best Game". Personally, I love the Halo series for the storyline. In this aspect I think it beats out many first person shooters. I know that I will be playing this game for a long time, mainly due to the huge online community. Sure most of them are screaming kids, but if you can look past that point, the multiplayer is the most balanced for any gaming console. They toned down the auto aim enough that skill is back in the equation. And it wont be long until we get some great maps and game types to download from bungie.net. Keep in mind that all of them will be player-made variants. I've also heard rumors that Bungie will be bringing back clans. This will just keep getting bigger.

I have both a PS3 and the 360, and truthfully FPS suck on PS3 i hated Resistance, it was just so generic, fear looked like ass on my ps3 so i rented it for 360 looked and felt alot better, and all call of duties are ok, 4 will be amazing, but honestly halo 3 just did it for me, i played it on legendary and it was superb, the legendary ending is awesome too, and the multiplayer, yea i like halo 2's more but i said that same thing abouyt halo 1 when 2 came out so it will prolly grow on me but who knows, so to those of you who arnt giving this game credit, c'mon

If this game is SO GREAT, what's up with all of the excess advertisement? It was just barely borderline with Halo brand tampons.

Besides, being a huge first person shooter fan, I can honestly say that Halo is mediocre compared to most other shooters. If anything, games like TimeSplitters beat out Halo when it comes to overall campaign length, number of weapons, difficulty, unlockables, features, and even imagination. Even the multiplayer was better, as you spent more time shooting then walking around looking for something to shoot. Also, why haven't they fixed up the matchmaking yet so you can actually choose what maps you want to play?
