I bought the game when it came out , didnt play any online because I didnt have Xbox live gold

Now.......i got Xbox Live gold , should I go and re-buy a used Halo3 ? Is the multiplayer worth it ? (or playing the campaine on co-op)

OHHHHH!!! The multiplayer is amazing, some of the best on the 360, and with the release of Mythic Map Pack today, there's going to be a ton of people playing it. I definitely recommend it, plus it should be cheap now since it's been out for almost 2 years.

I think the multiplayer is some of the best on 360, but that is just my opinion.

Deff pick it up again.

Get it. It's a year and a half old now, but it's still the only shooter I play on a regular basis. Sure, Gears 2 or COD4 when my friends ask me to, but Halo 3 is the only one I ever return to. I think you'll like it quite a bit.

The multiplayer is fantastic. If you got rid of Halo 3 because you didn't have much to do with it with out Live, then go ahead. If you got rid of it because you did not fancy the gameplay how ever, don't. Halo 3 doesn't magically become a completely different game simply because you have an Ethernet cable attached to your box.

Get COD:WAW it has a huge online community right now. But you cannot go wrong with Halo 3 either unless you are a die hard COD kind of guy.

Believe me, there's nothing more satisfying than cutting a warthog in half with a brute chopper, specially on the map sandtrap when 3 people are driving it, or hijacking a moving elephant.

It's good, but my connection wasn't exactly fast enough and I found CoD4 way more fun. But yeah, it's worth it.

I'm probably going to catch some **** for saying this, but IMO anyone who plays shooters and owns a 360 should have their own copy of Halo 3. The multiplayer mode in itself is worth the price in itself. Then again, the campaign is worth its price alone too. I can't really think of much I dont like about the game.

The co-op on it's campaign can be laggy from time to time when you play it online, but other than that its still lots of fun to play. I've beat it's campaign many times over and I still love playing it on a fairly regular basis in both single player and co-op. IMO it has the best campaign of any game in the series, rivaled only by Combat Evolved. The game even now doesn't show it's age in terms of graphics either.

The online multiplayer speaks for itself really. Lots of people like to hate on the game but it's the most played game on Xbox Live for a reason. For me and for most of the 360 gamers I know as well, the multiplayer almost never gets old. Right now I'm not playing it as often as I usually do since I played it for an immense amount of time since I got my 360 several months ago. That said Halo 3 remains a part of my daily routine. Even though lately I've been more occupied with Left 4 Dead's multiplayer I still play Halo 3 online for several hours every day. The possibilities with the gametypes, maps, and editing with Forge are limitless as well which adds to the multiplayer experience. That degree of customization in online play was pretty much unheard of in console gaming prior to H3's release, and its something that many developers have been trying to emulate since. To this day I have yet to see a game that has been able to accomplish that, let alone surpass it.

On top of all that good **** there's a perhaps greater element to it. The experience of playing Halo 3 with your friends is simply a phenomenon. I can't describe it, but there's something very staisfying and incredibly entertaining when I end my day chilling in my room playing Halo with my friends.

In short, yes, re-buy the game.

By the way if you do end up buying it again and you need friends to play with add me if you want. I'm always looking for new people to play with and I'm online for the majority of my day pretty much everyday.

Two things: 1. Worst logic I've seen on GameSpot in a long time 2. Where do you buy your games for $100!?!!

I'll sell one of my copies for $20.00(+shipping). The game works and has instruction manual. It is just in a ghetto box. I bought it used to play co op with a friend who brough his xbox down when visiting because he forgot his copy.

I guess you should. It's not the greatest game ever, but you should probably have it in your arsenal of games. IMO Campaign-wise the game is too short and overhyped with all those commercials they did like the battle in the "Believe" commercial. Multiplayer-wise the game is un-ending fun with so much to do and all these maps that Bungie has dished out it keeps getting better...Let's just hope that Halo 3 ODST will make up for the shortness of this game.

i dont think it will, its more of an expansion that an entirely new game, the campaign wont break any longevity barriers
