We all know because of the numerous threads that people make about what the top 5-15 game that people want this year that Halo 3 is on most people's mind, but is this game being overhyped and overestimated. There are a lot of other FPS (Bioshock, COD4 to name a few) plus tons of games in other genres. Is Halo 3 going to fall short of the massive hype that it's getting both online and in single player?

I think that in order for Halo 3 to live up to all its hype critics everywhere would have to give it an 11/10. I'm not saying it will be bad but it is overhyped. Especially considering all the other great FPS games coming out.

does it really bother people when many people like a certain game? I've seen so many threads saying that halo is over-hyped...but why should it matter in the first place if a game sells well, even if you others don't like it?

Halo was the s*** when it first came out. Its still an alright game, but its completely overrated now, and theres a lot better games out there. It's gotten to the point to where I get pissed whenever I hear someone get excited about the game. GET OVER IT!

Did everyone forgot what Bungie said. Bungie said this is what Halo 3 will look like in Real time gamplay or even better when they get it Finnish and when it comes out in 9/25/2007.

Here's the link to the Video of them saying that. http://youtube.com/watch?v=rkJpsJzfE1MSo yea I would not say its over-hyped. Because you have not even played it yet or any of use. We have not seen the Finnish product of the game yet so please don't say its over-hyped because its not. And the New Trailer we sill at E3/07 looked amazing to me and its going to be the Best game of 2007 and the Best game of all time for the 360. I can't wait to play this game and its campaign mode and MP online, and 4 player co-op online mode, its going to be so amazing and fun.

Don't post in them then if they piss you off that much. Also yeah I think HALO 3 is over-hyped regardless of the amount of pre-orders, which actually clarifys my point of it being over-hyped due too so many.

We can't say it's overhyped until we've played it and the reviews are in. It may indeed turn out to live up to the hype, we just don't know yet. It's being hyped as a AAA title. If it gets AAA scores, then by definition it was not overhyped. If it scores less, then yeah, it was overhyped.

At the end of the day, it's only arrogance if you're wrong.

I don't think it's being over-hyped. It deserves all the attention it's getting.
