Can you dislike Halo 3 and still own an xbox 360?

Is there any room for those who aren't Halo fanatics on the 360?

[sonarus]

Raises hand.

[Breakfast]

lol...thats a dumb question...its like everyones gonna be forced to like this game. Apparently you cant own an xbox without buying halo...just forget about every other game...its all about halo. Bioshock wasnt good, Mass Effect sucked, Gears was garbage, ALL ABOUT HALO.

Halo is not the greatest game ever made, but it is the most fun I've <---ME ever had on a console

Edit: I hate when people dislike a game because of 'hype'...lol, it tears me up inside. If you dislike it because you dont like the gameplay then fine, but to dislike because of its 'hype' is just wrong.

[sonarus]

Yea i have been hard on halo in the past. Mostly because of the hype. I still went ahead and bought it, i found the sp boring so i stopped playing it sometime around the point where you first get to ride the warthog.

Regardless when playing 4 player split screen or online with friends(that i actually know lol), i have to admit it is pretty fun. IMO online is more fun than COD4 on the other hand warhawk owns all but that is jst me. Not everyone likes warhawk but it is officially the longest i have played any game online.

[TheHater]

Same here. I have the game, but I don't really like it. It slow, and I personally don't find it to be very fun. But hay, a lot of other games like the game, and that their choice and I don't see why people should have a problem with it. The same can be said about the people that don't Like Halo 3.

Counter Strike, Battlefield 2, and Unreal Tournament 2004 WTF!!!!

[JsonHenry]

I tried Halo 3 hoping for something better than the last two titles... and it was WAY over-rated. In fact, I traded it in within a month of buying it.

[Breakfast]

not over-rated...just not for you

[Monchichi025]

And so do like a billion of my friends. It's like Crack to us all....can't stop playing no matter how many other games we buy. Sometimes I find myself playing all night only to have to stop because it's almost 8AM when I gotta get to work! LOL

Can't Stop, Won't Stop! Yeah, Yeah!

[gaffyh]

Halo is a good game, but is way too over-hyped. It's not that great and doesn't deserve it's hype, especially seen as there are many other games that have better graphics, story and online play

[Fallen_Angel]

I finally rent the game cause of the hype and am I glad i didnt buy it. It was god awful i never really cared much for fps anyways but halo isnt even that good of one.

[Blackcanary]

I had it completed it and sold it on EBAY. and i can say i hated it. one thing about me is that i can't start playing game and then sale it when i haven't finished it cause i wanna see the ending and i just hated the game lol.

[dantesparda]

JsonHenry, the game is way overrated. I definitely think its worst than the last 2 games. And check my gamertag if you think im bullsh!tting.

And to answer the stupid question by the website; YES!

[decapitator]

Of course. it's all based on your preference.

[Breakfast]

yes it is.

[Bleucrunch]

it is about preference....but it being overrated is an absolute FACT!

[MikeGdaGod]

i own a 360 but can't stand any of the Halo games. would never play it.

the real question is, Can you own a 360 and not like FPS?

[Mercutio]

its impossible, I tried that, and the only shooter I played and liked for some time was GeoW. Xbox360 is for shooters.

If yuo don't like shooters and american games, then go PS3/wii. OR STFU.

[Gazman]

Yep I do, I would rather play tetris than halo 3

[MetalProxy]

Hey man tetris is fun but halo on the other hand...I had more fun doing dishes.

[LaChance]

I got a 360 and dont even own Halo 3 nor COD 4 .
Simply because I dont play online.
Im a RPG , story driven solo game kind of gamer.
Solo gaming is what I care about thats why I got a 360 so I can play RPGS (WRPG's and JRPG's).
As an old PS2 owner that loves solo games the logical choice for me was to go 360 (especially with DMC4 , Last Remnant and Assasins creed going multiplatform there is absolutely no reason to get a PS3)

Yea I know you guys are going to say but...but... FF13.By the time FF13 comes out I would have played Eternal Sonata , Lost Odessy , Infinite Undiscovery ,Tales of Vesperia etc.Quantity and quality over scarcity and quality for me.

[jwatt]

I was actually talking to a new guy we hired at work how I like Sony Playstatiion and he likes the M$ xbox but he was telling me how he didn't like Halo.

[undacovabrothe]

base apon your taste looks to me you bought the wrong system... but thats just my opinion ima a big offline person I prefer EVERY game offline. Shooters I rather play with my friends on split and put some bots in there then go kill other ppl sports rather split ALWAYS and I luv action games/rpg games. I beat like 10 action games for ps3. There is not 1 game Id say I buy ps3 for but many which is why I thought it was worth my 600 dollars near launch. To be honest I didnt even care about blue ray until 6 months later when realized it was the next big format.

[ikiru3385]

eternal sonata and tales of vesperia are also coming to ps3, plus who will be saying ps3 won't have awesome rpgs of its own? final fantasy 13, ff13 vs, kingdom hearts, etc....all those are on the way. a little patience will go a long way.

with that said, i love mass effect and am looking forward to other rpgs on 360.

[meepmoopmeep]

@LaChance

you have a strange, strange logic man.
you do know there's help out there... they're called psychologists.

[bigman7387]

Funny how you took a discussion about Halo 3 and worked in why you don't like the PS3.

[gaffyh]

@LaChance - There WAS no reason for you to buy a PS3, but now with the big-hitters coming out soon you should get a PS3.

and ok "WRPG's and JRPG's", Mass Effect = boring pile of crap (would be good if you didn't talk soooo much, cause the gameplay is quite good), Blue Dragon = crappy looking kids RPG, and Lost Odyssey are not reasons to buy a 360. Although Lost Odyssey is quite good, I am on disc 4, although I don't like how they put most of the side-quests on the last disc, but I guess it was unavoidable.

[toughNAME]

Only 8 million 360 owners have bought Halo 3... Clearly.

[avenfeld]

Brilliant point ;)

[toughNAME]

It's very rare to see a non brilliant comment by me

EDIT - you have opened my mind to something totally new...i'm changing my bio

[avenfeld]

I'm here to help ;)

[Breakfast]

"Disagree's reflect Brilliance."

Apparently you're not brilliant with all those agrees i see.

[toughNAME]

That comment didn't count

[TheMART]

There are 20 mln. 360's out there

8 mln. Halo 3 sold

over 5 mln. Gears of War 1 sold (at that time 10 mln. 360 users)

There are 7 mln. copies of COD4 sold on the 360 and counting

So what's your point? That the 360 sells software

BTW: I don't like Halo 3 that much.

[bigman7387]

Its ok, mulligan.

[Richdad]

ITs marketing was great and most of the 360 users didnt even had Xbox1 to remember Halo.

[Expy]

I have it and I hate the Halo series... Although I practically don't use the console anymore.

[Richdad]

Its your choice if you have played PS for long time then you love it but I didnt played it for much time and it fc'd my favourate platform PC so I dont owe it anything and MGS3 and FFXII where dull. So thats why even if 10 MGS an 10 FF comes on PS3 a year I will not get it.

[The gaming GOD]

Yet I don't like and/or own halo 3 and will never care to, I'd say YES you can dislike halo 3 and still own a 360.

[ikiru3385]

agreed, im one of them as well. never liked halo.

[Skerj]

Yarr matey, I own and can't stand the first two I didn't even bother with the 3rd.

[The Wood]

there are better games on the 360 than halo 3

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

You know what?

I didn't like the first two Halo's...but for some reason...I love the multi-player on 3.

It's great!

[IntelligentAj]

I liked Halo 1-2 but I didn't buy Halo 3. I bought my 360 for Lost Odyssey.

[SDS Gamerfiend]

Anyways, I don't like Halo 3 and I own a 360! Halo 3 is TRASH! Bungie should have been shot for just throwing us a bone on their way out! I been traded in my Halo 3 without even finishing it for COD4! Gears 2 is our new Lord and Savior for the XBOX 360!

[SDS Gamerfiend]

On another note, I went out and purchased my PS3 which is a wonderful Blu-Ray player! But I'm sorry to say, that I haven't bought any games for it yet cuz none of the 1st party titles appeal to me. Waiting for MGS4 and Killzone and Tekken 6! EDIT: I didn't know that I had to install everything like a damn pc game either! I downloaded GT demo and wasn't impressed! Am I gonna have to install every game????????? I have a 40gb PS3 by the way. Are they gonna update it so I can play my PS2 games?!

[Blackcanary]

Dude don't forget if you want more space for your ps3 the Hard drive is a PC note book Hard drive so to upgrade it just buy a 250GB Sata laptop note book Hard drive it fits straight into the PS3. If you live in the uk that only cost £70 or even get a 400gb Hard drive. what ever surts ur need.

[SL1M DADDY]

I didn't like Halo 3. In fact, I had the original Xbox and didn't care much for Halo and Halo 2... Does that make me a bad person? lol

[ikiru3385]

no. just shows you like more variety in your games. 360 is worth more than the halo series that it is branded with.

[Asurastrike]

I prefer Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Fable to Halo.

[undacovabrothe]

its not just the fact that it was overhyped that ppl dont like it. Its the fact its really not good either. I mean if game got like a 8.5-9 id be like ok but to get like 10s across board like it was amazing was pure amazing. My friend who loved halo 2 didnt even buy halo 3 because it was so garbage. He let his dad buy it and he plays his (his dad a real game fanatic) and everytime i say lets play halo to see what ppl like about the game I always leave with same result that its really not that good.

[ukilnme]

Saying the game really isn't good is a matter of opinion. I have enjoyed each installment of the Halo series and have never played it online.

[Frnicatr]

Mass Effect? Forget Halo.

[ukilnme]

Even if you don't own a 360 or never played Halo 3, feel free to bash it anyway.

On topic, if you own or have owned a 360 and don't like Halo 3 all I can say is cool. To each their own.

[power of Green]

What a F@@got ass post Many people hate Halo I hear it everyday on XBL.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

What the hell do these people think that the 360 has 1 game???

What a completely stupid ass question. Where do the people on this site find these completely horrible lame gaming sites with these stupid articles?

[CPTN MITCHELL]

halo and the 3fixme. I rather play resistance

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I send my condolences fishhead. Resistance is such a POS game that should not even be brought up in the same sentence as Halo.

[Pain]

@GiantEnemyCrabs he got from yesterdays cheap Date

Sucks but its true that Baby first FPS is Not really that good compared to the rest of its FPS's out there.

good but not great and silly boy its OK that u bash RFOM it is a FAR beter Game thats why u bash it

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You play Resistance then, and after that you can play Uncharted and uh.... (crickets) well uh... (more crickets) thers uh....... (SHUT THESE DAMN CRIKETS UP!!!) well you can always watch a movie :)

[Expy]

The Halo fanclub is going on a disagree spree, even against their fellow 360 owners...

[ukilnme]

Apparently the Halo Haters are here too. They showed up first and in bunches.

I did not disagree though.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

a lot of my friends have switched to other titles like bioshock, gears, Cod4, mass effect, or even GRAW.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

I'm not a Halo fanatic and I own a 360.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

This is basically one guys rant about Halo 3.... Why is it even on this site?

[Spydiggity]

after a few weeks of visiting this site, you'll realized that 90% of all the posted articles are rumors, opinions, and speculation.

[zonetrooper5]

I'm a Halo fan I love all 3 of the games so far. You can still play other games on the 360 rather than Halo 3. You just get the sterotypical view that the 360 is only Halo and its also just a shooter console, the Xbox 1 was pretty much Halo all the way with PGR 1 and 2 to help and Forza.

[Harry190]

the only one who liked the second one most?

[IntelligentAj]

Nah, I like the second more than the first, though barely.

[Spinitus]

yup im one of them too. i love halo2, but despite h3.

[Spydiggity]

there's an entire community of gamers who hate halo 3 on the 360. Turn on Gears of War of COD 4 and you'll hear about half the ppl complaining about how halo is too easy and too 'noob'. the truth is probably they just got owned a buncha times and couldn't handle losing so they quit. but either way, they now hate it, but swear up and down COD or GoW are the greatest games on 360.

[eagle21]

And RFOM got a 9.5 in Game Informer, 9.1 on IGN. On Xplay it got 5/5 on the same exact show Gears and Halo 2 got 5/5. It's on youtube lame brain.

[TheMART]

Don't take things out of context please. Average scores of all reviews (not just a few taken out, the best that is):

Resistance: 86%

http://www.gamerankings.com...

Gears of War: 94%

http://www.gamerankings.com...

Halo 3: 93%

http://www.gamerankings.com...

EDIT:

to that one below:

Resistance: Based On 78 Media Outlets

Gears: Based On 109 Media Outlets

Halo 3: Based On 86 Media Outlets

So you rather thrust one source, while those many weighted total averages are actually a better way to view a game.

You're living in Sony lala land. You go believe its 95% dude. You also believe the moon is made from cheese and you're the pope probably

[eagle21]

I have never seen a game returned to gamestop so much as the third one on your list...lol you Mart are prehistoric. Gamerankings doesn't list every site that reviews the game nor metacritic. It's so flawed. But here is proof in the pudding. I only need one review from a trusted source. You have metacomplex. :)

http://www.gameinformer.com...

[Varsarus]

Sorry but Halo 3 in my eyes does not deserve 93%, the campaign sucked major D!CK and the only thing that made it tolerable was multiplayer.

[wageslave]

How does this crap get approved? What a stupid goddanmed article.

Oh, and BTW, Halo aside, the best videogames of the generation have been exclusive Xbox 360 games. Gears, Mass Effect, Forza 2 and BioShock have all been top rated games in their genre. NO OTHER GAMES have better review scores (except a couple nintendo 1st parties).

[solar]

and we all know how exclusive GeoW, ME and Bioshock are to PC gamers.

[PimplePopperMD]

Yup. I hate the latter two Halo games but like some 360 stuff. When I actually buy a 360- I wont be buying Halo 3. Ill prolly get Halo.

[wageslave]

Halo 1 97/100
Halo 2 95/100
Halo 3 94/100

The best new series of videogames of the last 5 years. The jealous halo-haters are just so ridiculous. Sure, maybe -you- dont like Halo, no problem, that's everyone's right.

But sales and reviews say that Halo 1, 2 and 3 are as good a videogame as has been made since their release. Not SUBJECTIVE but OBJECTIVE TRUTH.

[ichimaru]

i'm a halo fan, but uts not neccesaril;y the best 360 game. it depends on what genres you are into. for instance if you like RPG'S you might want a 360. there is more than one best game. the answer NO.

[Tyrael]

You want a tactical shooter: Rainbow 6 Vegas
You want a fun fantasy shooter: Gears of War

I traded in Rainbow 6 Vegas to get a cheap copy of Halo 3, thinking I wouldn't even want to play Vegas anymore. I just went out and rebought a copy of it, and Halo sits and collects dust.

[TurdStationPee]

No, but you can like COD4 more. Stupid n00bs.

[GCO Gamer]

this story sucks

[jcgamer]

be nice guys.

[BigKev45]

Dumb question. Of course. I didn't care much for Halo 3.

[Lord Vader]

"Can you dislike Halo 3 and still own an xbox 360?"

Yep. I play Gears & Mass Effect mostly, not a Halo hater, but definately NOT the reason I bought a 360. I bought it for all the *other* games Ive played for the last 2 1/2 years. I like the Halo story, but Im not a Halo MP fan (the only one in North America).

Conversely, I *did* by my PS3 for BluRay last year, because the handful of games offered then didnt justify the purchase, but I knew KZ2 & uNcharted & other stuff I like was coming out, but I really used the BluRay to justify my purchase at the time.

I do think Halo 3 is innovative with the 4 player co-op, stat tracking in realtime on the Bungie website, theater vids, & great MP = I know of no other game that offers all of these features.

BTW, this article is a joke, IMHO. No game is without faults & Halo 3 offers you alot more features & modes than any other game I've played. I can say that, even though it's not my favorite game, it's definately alot of bang for you buck. Obviously, millions of gamers love the franchise.

[VirusE]

Wow I guess I am a huge minority here but I loved halo 3. Each to their own I guess. I have always been good at halo and love the balance it offers. Lots of us love halo and I don’t understand why so many people feel they need to convince halo fans that the game isn’t good. I am not a fanboy, I own a ps3 and a 360, I have played all the must play shooters since the days of doom and at the end of the day I prefer halo to them all. I am not saying the halo haters should change their hate of halo I am just saying they need to stop trying to convince me it’s a bad game. I have played just about every game that has been called AAA since the nes days and as far as my taste are concerned halo is an amazing game.

[dannofellano]

just because it's an exclusive on the console doen't make the 360 designed for halo

[ChrisGTR1]

honestly halo is an amazing game. before halo3 came out i didnt even care about it, at all . i was one of the people that called it halo 2.5 and all that. i finnaly got it but never really played it until 2 months ago. i play it like everyday now. way better than cod4 , its alot more tactical and isnt just run in and shoot like cod

[otherZinc]

1st, Oni SUCKED! This is standard for a Hater: say something good about a company you are about to Hate on.

2nd. stop this super effort from some of the media to slow a persons Halo rush, there are more than 900,000 people playing every single day: SO YOU FOOL, ITS NOT HYPE!

Hype is only for a short period of time, remember: HALO 1 sold off word of mouth, Halo 2 & 3 carried what was left over. Carried to the tune of Record Entertainment Sales & sustained that with more than 900,000 people playing every day.

If Halo 3 isn't that good to you, stop talking about it, if a game was mediocre, I sure as hell wouldn't talk about it more than 6 months later, you Hater!

[2 cents]

I hate halo and i also hate gears, in fact i hate every shooter that involves monsters (resistance i`m looking at you) and i still own a x360. I do hate it but there are a few games which i play now and than with PGR4 being no. 1, closely followed by COD4 and Forza2. In fact i own 25 games for the x360 but i never really play them.
But the future for my x360 looks grim as there are no games that appeal to me this year unless Alan Wake comes out. But with the ps3 fulfilling my gaming needs i need no worry.

[DFresh]

Let's be honest here Halo made the Xbox and Xbox 360 without that cool series and maybe Gears of War this console would of been dead long ago.
More people like Sony because it's more diverse with their genres.
Every time I see a commercial for the 360 they only show 4 games Halo 3, Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Bioshock.
Every single one of those games are shooters nothing new.
I'm not hating I just want to see more commercials with diversity in genres if Microsoft can do that.

[Jawbwa]

...board a ship and kill aliens. Land on a planet and kill aliens. Repeat. I'm not a fan on the series (old school Perfect Dark is more my style), but I understand what the author was trying to get across about Halo Fanboyism. And yeah, you can own a 360 and not give a darn about Halo. It's like owning a PS3 and not caring about MGS4. The console is more than just one game, and it's a shame that fanyboys for all systems try to equate it to that.

[FirstknighT]

"..board a ship and kill aliens. Land on a planet and kill aliens. Repeat."

Some people just don't understand the whole Halo story. It's definitely more of a story for people that are a lil more intellegent.

[FirstknighT]

I'm a huge Halo fan and love all three especially Halo 3. But to say you have to like Halo 3 because you own a 360 is just plain silly. Not everybody is going to like a successful game like Halo 3. For example, MGS is arguably the best franchise Sony has and MGS 3 only sold about 3 million to a user base of 100 million. Some people just dislike Halo, MGS, FF, Gears, etc...

[solar]

hey good comment firstknight. thats all that matters. what YOU like. conformity is plain silly.

[name]

LA chance you said halo 3 was an amazing game before. You also said cod4 was better on the 360. How can u make such judgements if you don't own either? You're just trying to be a fanboy and make the case that the 360 is a good all around console and you're making yourself an example. =/

[LaChance]

what the hell are you talking about ? Im 100% sure Ive never said that about Halo nor COD4.
Even if I did say that , I dont see where in my post I said those two games are crap.
Ive played both so if I had to make an opinion on those games I would say they are great but since Im a solo player I wont put 60 euros into those games to play a 6 hour long story mode.

People are sooooooooo pissed off whenever I say something good about my console of choice its crazy.

[titntin]

Daft article - I play 360 all the time, but I don't rate Halo 3 at all. The first was awesome , second pretty good and I thought the third was a missed opportunity - there's plenty of shooters I prefer to play on 360 and for a title that was supposed to be definetive shooter title for the 360, I though bungie let MS down.
There's so much else to play, how can you assert that you 'must' like one title?

[Bazookajoe_83]

I thought Halo was a ok game, not spectacular but okey. But i have lots of friends with 360 who doesnt like shooters..

[name]

And firstnight your comment was retarded in so many ways I don't know how to respond. You do realise gran turismo alone sold 15 million copies right?

[Z501]

have a 360 but don't really like Halo.
But 8 million sales speak volumes.
What gives?

Is N4G different from the rest of the EARTH?

[Bazookajoe_83]

And i think it´s mostly americans that bought it, while here on n4g theres alot of people from all over..

[name]

They're just trying to make a point. if they said they liked halo it would support the article. They're willing to lie about their interests to support their console.

[The Closing]

What a dumb question. I used to own both the xbox, and the 360 without liking halo in the slightest. It's a very generic, and sterile game in my mind.

[Delta_FX]

I own a 360 and a PS3 and have always hated the Halo franchise.

Ever since I've played it the first time... I hated it... just a terrible game.

Graphics are s**t too.

[IQUITN4G]

Halo 3 was initially a slight disapointment for me having thought it would be all out war on the level the museum ad or books.

Since playing single player probably far far more than most of the people here, i can quite happily say that it kills Halo 1 and 2 in actual fun terms.Halo3's sandbox combat mechanics work better than ever and nothing is ever quite the same each time you play.It still does things other FPS don't seemed to have grasped and all to often people comment only having played through these games just the once - Halo has always been much more about playing many times because of the entirely different way things play out each time.

When Halo really clicks with you past merely maybe just enjoying a simple playthrough and on to the next FPS offering, it doesn't let go and that's why people defend so vicously this fantastic series.

Halo 1 remains my preferred if i'm looking at purely how epic and mysterious the setting obviously was, considering it was the first but Halo3 does things beyond Halo1's still remarkable combat design - just about all FPS still have trouble doing what Halo1 achieved some 7 or so years ago, clearly making Halo3's something very special.

GOW is excellent but something else and not directly comparable, COD4 is great but an example of a FPS polished up to new levels of finish and playing very nicely if you like your replays through levels to play essentially the same.

A next Chief outing i hope has bigger scale regarding how much more battle is played around you but providing they also include and refine the already fabulous combat, Bungie's work with the Chief will once again recieve top review marks

[Xbox is the BEST]

on the King. It's O.K.

[Swat20]

well i know i def in that boat. halo was nothing but normal. its nothing special

[Jawbwa]

@16.1 to be fair, i've never done a complete playthrough from start to finish of any of the three halos. played some levels, and then skipped some levels, so on and so forth. but my wife's 14 year old son rented halo 3, played the first mission, and then immediately played the last mission to see the end of the game. when the story holds such little interest that a person only cares to see the end and nothing in-between, it just seems incomplete. now, this is just one person's experience, but her son is a self proclaimed halo fan and stands by it.
as far as not being "intelligent" i just enjoy a game with more of a story line that actually makes me consider the decisions that i'm making in the game or at least makes me feel a connection to the struggles of the protagonist like mass effect or god of war. i play games not because i want to be social, but because i love a good story. and i'm sorry that halo just doesn't hold my attention for longer than it takes to kill a brute.

[Mr_Luke]

i have an xbox360, i have halo3.... i don't like it, sorry ;P i keep it for collection, my friend gave me 1 and 2+maps, so 3rd complete the saga... maybe a day i sell all of them. But the 2nd is much better according to me (i say "according to me", my personal tastes).

[PirateThom]

I hate Halo, most overrated game ever, but I sure do own a 360.

Mass Effect is a true system seller as far as I'm concerned.

[Varsarus]

Master Chief is a Power Rangers rip off, end of.

[pwnmaster3000]

i kno hella people whos hates ps3 and has only 360 who hates halo 3 so yeah the answer is yes

[joydestroy]

i don't dislike Halo 3, but i don't like it either. just not my game.

[Numark]

i dont like halo that much and im all about the xbox 360

[JokesOnYou]

I finished COD4, got the veteran Mile High achievement, finished Mass Effect, Bioshock, Gears, blah, blah and many other great games on the 360, the weird thing is somehow I still don't hate Halo3, or believe that every 360 owner has to love it,(stupid question to ask obviously) but the fact is I play it once or twice a week if I have the time between work and all the other crap I have to do and I enjoy it thats all that matters. It seems the Halo-haters keep its name in the headlines more often then it supporters, but its typical of todays society anything that turns out widely successful will have its share of haters too....kind of like big stars vs media/tabloids/paparazzi, the bigger they are the more they continue to follow their every footstep.....its almost a compliment.

JOY

[Fux4Bux]

Halo:CE - Favorite game of all time. Played coop and LAN all the time for 3 years straight.

Halo2 - Biggest disappointment for me ever. Ruined every subtle aspect I liked about the gameplay and completely blew the story/campaign.

Halo3 - Halo 2.5. Didn't expect much out of it since I hated 2 so much and it was the mediocre shooter I expected. Still pretty fun but nothing special.

[jinn]

can u dislike the RROD and still own an xnox360?

[romaink]

I played the first two Halo games, but I bought COD4 instead of Halo 3. Infinity Ward put more time into raising the bar for current-gen games. Yeah... and I did play Halo 3

[GCO Gamer]

Yes you can

[aaaaaaaaa]

I think the question should of been is it worth getting a 360 if you dont play FPS games

[ukilnme]

The answer to that is yes. Check the lineup. 360 has more than just FPS. It just has a lot of them.

I dont like Halo but love my 360. However I did finish it when I rented it.

Haters have either played Halo3 but not completed it or played just the once through.That's entirely missing the point of a Halo game.

I do agree that Halo1 felt so completely unbelievable and that both 2 and 3 failed to match this grand sense of epicness and mystery.Halo3 however is beautiful fun like no other FPS game out there and i say again, for reasons people will never understand if they only play the game once and without trying to go through levels properly ie realistically and not relying on save points - it makes for serious sense of achievement and adds greatly to how tense and more real the experience feels.Also plays best on legendary and is something of a joke if only played at baby normal level.

Halo haters talk out of their A hole because it's likely they never liked anything about Halo to begin with.

Add skulls + point scoring into how you play and it adds a further layer of challenge.

I found Halo 3 more tactial, fun and balanced than CoD4. CoD4 is fun but it isn't the best FPS I've ever played, the matchmaking system in Halo 3 is alot more better than in CoD4, Halo's ranking fit but I reckon they could of improved it and the Single player is fun but I reckon it could of been way longer and that god damn Cortana level, RAGE.

If you really hate Halo then fine but give reasons as to why you think its crap. I know alot of PC fanboys will say Halo is crap but then again FPS's on the PC are darn good.

Halo 3 is so over rated the campaign was lame as ever and the multiplayer gets boring after a while stick with gears it is miles better.
