Halo 3 was a major dissappointment for me, but that's the problem when games are too good for sequels. COD4's multiplayer has the rank system to keep you going.

Well Halo 3 is still number one on the Xbox Live activity list over at Major Nelson's web blog so it still is pretty popular.

It's still a great game. People have been playing it alot so they're bound to get bored of it eventually, that's why you're seeing the buzz die down a bit. Plus with the release of Assassins Creed & COD4, people are moving on a bit.

HALO 3 multiplayer is good and everything but it tends to get repetitive.

I think I'm one of the only people who's expectations we're blown away, I love this game still, and the single player was awesome for me. To be honest, I think either this or the Orange box should get game of the year.

Yeah it's still a GOOD but NOT great game. Didn't live up to the expectations and it was getting old now with all these other next gen shooter games like bioshock, Gears Of War, etc............. coming out now

It is a good game but like most people say, it is not as epic as it should have been, it was too overhyped.

i have h3, cod4, and the orange box. i have problems playing the orange box because my life REVOLVES around the other two. h3's multiplayer is why i keep coming back. the only thing i didnt like about it was the metagame. h3 is still a great game overall, but i think that there should have been away to get you to go back to the story other than the metagame. wasnt the biggest fan of it.

with a map pack finally coming (which kind of took too long) and hopefully some patch work to ease the repition, Halo3 is still a hot game. Then again, what could anyone do against a solid shooter like CoD4 :roll: and for any fans of games that are not shooters... variety is your friend right now...

I bought halo 3, not liking the previous 2, to see if this one changed my view. It didn't I played the other 2 a lot more than I played Halo 3. I played halo 3 for a couple weeks and I got bored and moved on. I am looking to trade it in, Halo is just not my thing. I never liked it and probably never will. Oh well.

the story could have been more epic, even though i thought it was one of the best gaming experiences ive had, but its pretty much only playable once. The multiplayer just plain sucks. its no fun, its repetative, too many bugs. But i only have 2 360 games, madden 08 and h3 so i need something to play, but they both kinda suck now..so i cant wait to get assassins creed and CoD4

its a good game but it just falls short of some of now epic scale titles that are more defined in my opinion

98% of the internet population has a Myspace. If you're part of the 2%
that is able to resist stupid internet fads , copy and paste this into your sig

Reali_T

Isn't your signature a little bit hypocritical seeing as how those "post fake statistics and say you don't do them" Thing is in itself an internet fad ? I hope you meant to do that.

firstly you must understand halo is overrated, period , 1 was a perfect start but there really wasnt much of an improvment to the series in the 2nd all they added were more cars , and damage to cars, the graphics where updated sure but then you got 3 which by no means is it even an improvment, only difference is forge , even some of the levels are from 1 and 2 so what gives, here i am playing it and beating it in less then a day, the 1st took 2 days or more, the 2nd was short to ,

and 2nd theres always gonna be a chance somthing is gonna be better in fact, timesplitters 4 is coming , and as with 2 and 3 it always has been a longer,, the multi player has always been bigger and better then halo series and with map maker if it stil is in,, it will blow forge away, seriously all forge is , a thing where your in game you can set cars and weapons in instead of a menu you can do that to , see , that really isnt new, its just another way to set up a level

Its so ironic, I was thinking about this the other day when I logged onto halo 3. The global player count was down. Back when I first got the game there would be a half a million players on at any given time, but the other day, it was only 50,000! I think Bungie should make there next halo outing on the next xbox system and make some changes. I guess they were just very cautious with halo 3 as not to blow the series, therefore they followed the formula they've had success with.

I find halo 3 great because the multiplayer is decent and you can play with friends on the same console. COD 4 would have been fun if it had included this feature, but since it doesn't I think I'll just stick to the superior pc version.

I liked the game, i really liked the game. I just think that it was not all it could have been and while i was ok with the story there were some major problems with the gamepaly and innovative qualities.

Halo 3 best game on 360 , largest selling game on 360 and most popular online . And it not dying , day by day its fanbase increasing on Xbox 360 as many people buying Xbox 360 solely to play Halo 3.

No need to flame me , its truth .

Its no surprise and just because a games popularity starts to dwindle doesnt mean its no longer a great game. I mean Ocarina of Time isnt popular anymore and well its still viewed as one of the greatest games of all time. Of course Halos popularity is gonna slightly decrease around now because its the holdiay season and many other highly anticipated games have been released. If Halo 3 was released today then it would be the most popular. Halo sat at the top far longer then most of these games released today since CoD4 was at number 1 for a week and then dropped because Assassins Creed released which was another highly anticipated game. Then the same happend with AC because Mass Effect released. When theres a drought in good games being released im pretty sure Halo 3 will go back to number 1 and it will be popular a lot longer then even CoD4 just because in a year CoD5 will releasedand people will jump to that while Halo 3 will still continue being popular and highly played since Halo 2 stayed popular for 3 years and its popularity only severly dropped once Halo 3 released.
