Five Reasons Why Halo 3 Might Suck

Of late so much anti-Sony hate has been swirling the web that it almost seems like a suddenly-unveiled fad. Ken, Phil and Kaz quotes are the verbatim by which media pundits nosh the hate, with little (if any) regards to any obvious falsehoods or misinterpretation. Rumors and speculations have become the caveat against Sony, the sermon preached to the narrow-minded congregation who in the past simply embraced good gaming irrespectful of corporate VIP's, practices and policies. Seemingly, it is these pundits and false-rumor-mongers who have clandestinely declared Sony's reign as monotonous-in, and almost abrasive-to an industry that thrives on change, despite the legions of fans who enjoy their Playstation products on a daily basis.

Well, through naught but sheer impartiallity and objectivity, and as a recent purchaser of an XBox 360 myself (and loving every bit of GRAW), I seek to level this tumultuous playing field. I seek to bring balance to the field where which the fans have seemingly forgotten the true fruits of the game, and have instead embraced the indulgence of biasness and bickering. Herein, GameDaily gives us its reasons why Halo 3, the sequal to one of the most (perhaps unduly) laudaded franchises ever, just might...(pause)...fail. After all, if Sony's reign (the seminal driving arm of the industry for the past decade) can be brought into question, then it is completely within the realm of plausibility that Halo 3 might not be as good as hype cracks it up to be.

I kind of agree... Halo 2 was a lot of fun online... but I've never beat the actual story-line, to be honest.

[ACE]

that MUST be a sony fan boy who said all that rubbish lol!!

what a joke!!

halo 3 will be amazing ,

[The BS Police]

So what if Halo 2 had a few shortcomings, there is no sucj thing as a perfect Video Game, Halo 3 is going to have some issues like any other Popular video game!

[sonyISgod]

Same thing will be for Halo 3. Peoples that are disapointed by Halo 2 will not be looking forward to Halo 3, they will first wait for a review by Major gaming website. I do agree that Halo 2 game play suck when offline. The story is just not worth my time into it. From what I has seen from the trailers, like the development trailer. They are talking about how great the online gaming will become and graphic, but it seem like they are not really focusing on the story line and gameplay of it being offline.

[The BS Police]

Obviously you gonna diss Halo because it's the most popular videogame franchise ever created... Sony fans say Halo sucks because it's suposebly to popular (which is a pretty bad reason to hate it)

Halo 2 was an awesome game! It had an excellent Storyline, lot's of plot twists and it became the best selling video game of all time!

And of course you say they are not focusing on the story line (even though you see the plot in the trailer)

This game is rock wether you like it or not.

1. Storyline blows?
I think the storyline was good. The cut scenes were incredible IMO it felt like i was watching a movie.
2. The Aliens Still Speak English
LMAO! That would be a lame storyline if you can't understand.
3. People Are Still Cheating:
This is H3 not H2.
4.The Boss Fights Suck:
His opinion.
5.The Graphics Aren't Up To Code
This guy must be on cocaine, h3 graphics are insanely good.

Any dumb ass can write a stupid article like this one.

[The BS Police]

It sounds like a Halo Hater/Sony fan wrote this article... if the storyline blew then why did he give it a 5!

[xeon121]

Seriously what is the point in this post? what news value does it have other than some dude bltching about halo 2 there is not one fact about why or if halo 3 will such. just some guy giving his views on not halo 3 as you cant give a view on somthing that doesnt exist yet, regardless of halo 2's story line and single player being a disapointment and yes it was compared to halo ce its online cannot be touched bungie own and matchmaking and their antimoding are and example to all, you cant compare yet not until the game is on the shelfs and the gamers have it their 360's.Instead of 5 reasons halo 3 will suck lets have 5 reasons why website hacks should shut their mouths till they see the final product

peace

[zypher]

thats exactly the point that needs to be made. Halo 3 doesn't exist yet: wait until its on the shelves before slamming or praising it. THE EXACT SAME THING NEEDS TO BE SAID ABOUT THE PS3. but do we hear such rational reasoning when it comes to the PS3? no. all you hear is bickering: one partial Microsoft developer saying how it ain't all that, and other impartial third-party developers saying how it is: and then you have the myriad of pro/anti-Sony fans chiming in at the bit, offering little by way of insightfulness. Halo was great. Halo 2 was ok. no one knows how Halo 3 will be, until its out and on the store shelves. same thing with the PS3. speculation is just that: no one will know how the final product will be until the final product is out.

[pRo loGic II]

Don't bring PS3 in to it, people fight over the info Sony boasts about, and what they can see and touch. Nice try not even the same thing people and dev's ect. know much more about PS3 than they know about Halo from pics and vids.

[billybob]

give me a break!!! for every MS fanboy who knocks the ps3 before it's out there is a ps3 fanboy woh says the ps3 i better than the 360 so don't make it out like you and your fanboy buddies are any better. now quit spamming theis site

[zypher]

how the h&ll can i spam an article that i myself posted? and who's referring only to a specific fanboy? i said "pro/anti-Sony fanboys". learn to read before hopping on this spam hype. my post was just an attempt to level the playing field, which now seems riddled with half-truths for or against Sony. if people wan't to dog Sony for every slight, however irrelevant little thing that they do (from Blu-Ray to printing "Secret" instead of "Select" on a prototype controller), then some of that should swing the other way, especially when we're talking about a over-hyped sequel to a game that wasn't all that in the first place. trust me, i know. entire textures and models taking seconds to finally pop in, all sorts of glitches here and there, and 50% of the game was played through the eyes of a race i couldn't care less about. i didn't even beat the final boss in Halo 2; my commrads did. i simply jumped around on the upper level while they fought him. goes to show you how incomplete the game was.

[The BS Police]

Halo 2's boss fights are pretty anticlimactic, particularly the last one, which is downright awful because I didn't even kill the main bad guy. Rather, some of my marine buddies did!

I don't rememmer Marines being in the last Boss Fight in Halo 2... this guy is deffinetly a crack addict!

Halo 2 ended at such a cliff hanger I hought I would hate the game for it... But I like that ending even more now!

[f1r3waII K1LL3r]

Yo you dont know do you and all you that think halo 2 had a bad story line you know what fine it appears that the story line sucks because the ending was cut short. Bungie did this on purpose. Halo 3 ( I guarantee will have one of the greatest story lines too date, dont agree with me now but I know. All I am gonna say is the "cortana letters." As for Graphics did you not watch the trailer it looks awesome and unlike sony and their fake Cgi graphics This is the engine this is what it will look like. Halo fans like myself know this watch the documentry and youll see. On the cheating issue I know that Bungie will now have dedicated host which will stop bridgers and standbyers and modders. (This is where everyone basically connects to a nuetral host.) And as for the boss fights Im gonna tell you something I dont care at all and if you look on metacritic.com you will see which game is the best. All those critics couldnt possibly be wrong now could they. You are basing this on one guy, which is ignorant by the way. All your doing is trying to put a story out. Whats this a sony forum get off our side damn.

[Ancient Sandman]

Over 1/2 billion setions played online, suck on that!!!

[Ancient Sandman]

No I did not forget the "C" in sections. I wanted you to say it. SEE!!

[MoonDust]

Must be new :)

[pRo loGic II]

It might suck, so what!. them again it might rule, let the PS3 fanboys have this one, who care's!.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Lol dude I'm not a big Halo fan, played I dunna maybe 3 times, when I was trying to learn the weird new controller with the joysticks to run and the other to aim maybe that's why cause I sucked so bad against my friends. but man Microsoft could release a hour long video of a dog taking a sh*t and slap Halo 3 on the cover and it would simply sell because it's "halo". It cant possibly fail unless it gets rated the worst game in history, which I'm pretty confident isn't going to happen, and it most likely would still sell lots. It cant fail because so many people will buy it no matter how good or bad it is...so this guy is a moron

[shotty]

Every comment had to do with Halo 2 and was personal opinion. Bungie said why they had the pop-ups. It was due to the fact that bungie wanted to create the entire game so that there was no loading while in a level. So the xbox 1 loaded all the textures before the level started and then no loading until you were done the level. If you read bungie's documentary for halo 3 on their site they say that due to halo 3 being on xbox 360 they have eliminated the pop-ups. It would be nice to see a update that allows halo 2 to take full capabilites if the xbox 360 i.e quick loads, full guide features

[OutLaw]

Boy PS3 fans are enjoying this.

[slugg]

Bungie has had the final specs for the 360 and dev kits longer that any other developer making games for the system. If you look at Gears of War, Mass Effect, etc. that are coming out this year, OMFG will Halo 3 look good. Add to that the fact that Bungie has an open dialogue with its fans (look at the game-type updates for Halo 2 live, for example)and chances are that some of these problems will definately be addressed. Halo 2 was the largest video-game release OF ALL TIME, so you know Bungie will do what it takes to make sure its follow-up lives up to expectations. (P.S. I live in Washington State and have a friend who works for M$ in Redmond. He is part of the ongoing Halo 3 multiplayer test, and all he could tell me about it is "prepare to $h1t your pants")

[KoRnALIVE]

Outlaw, do you even play video games? How come I see on every article.

[Lucidmantra]

Quite frankly.... Who is the "f" are you? Outlaw is a good poster who brings intelligent comments when required. You think cuz you post a girl pic and a name Snow White you get any respect... I am one of the very oldest posters around here and I say unto thee... "SHUT THE HELL UP!" It doesn't matter if he playes 1000 hours or 4 hours a week this place is for discussion.

[OutLaw]

As for you Snow White. Don't get your panties wet. I contribute to the site. Yes I do have every system you could name but it doesn't mean I should be on them all the time. I just try to be fair with everybody. But since you want to try and get on me. Tell me what you have brought to the site. I don't see any article posted by you. All I see is you agreeing or disagreeing with people or starting. So try not to become the first female SSJ04 or you would get a tongue lashing from me. Now go play with your dolls.

[kingboy]

it`s funny ,when these xbox fans attack sony guys on all post they seem to enjoy it but with only one attack on that single poor halo bla bla..thing they`r crying out like babies.

[Lucidmantra]

kingboy... we all got our passions. And it is quite pathetic in some ways but I am guilty of it also. But i see your point. It is like sports fans, we are passionate about what we like. Only we don't tear down stadiums and trample people or burn up cities over a win or loss. LOL
