I bought Halo 3 at midnight when it launched, played online for 20 minutes and then traded it in for Stranglehold the next day.

The online play in Halo 3 was only ok in terms of graphics and really random and unorganized in terms of gameplay.

Stranglehold has incredible online graphics and wicked gunplay online - plus the special moves online are incredible.

Man, that's just his personal opinion, hes in his right to express it. Anyway, I think you should have waited and check it later when most players have it.

I'm not one of those people that say Halo is the best I don't even like it all that much, but you gotta be kidding me Stranglehold MP was complete garbage the lag alone ruined it, but even if there wasn't lag the gameplay is completely boring and uneven do you realize that when you die you start over with no abilities(barrage, spin attack, etc.) and the person that was still alive kills you the second he sees you because he has abilities almost everytime so it gets old really quick.

I guess that I prefer Stranglehold MP over Halo 3 because of thematic reasons (I don't like sci-fi and I love modern setting gun play stuff) plus I prefer slower paced strategy stuff (my favourite online game is GRAW2).

strangle hold is ok one player till u completed it , the multiplayer is horrible, its like they thought after completing the single player game about 2 weeks b4 launch said hey lets add multiplyer, the camera angle is poor for multiplayer, the power ups or slow down shudnt be in the multiplayer, its poor when people lash the power ups because all the other players cant play the game for 30 secs and then ur dead. theys no options at all to cusomtize ur online games its either team death match or normal deathmatvch, would of been better if they changed the power ups to stuff like move faster, extra damage, cant be killed for a certain time instead of options that bring the game to a halt, they were ok options in 1 player but not in multiplayer. and whats the crack with everyone rolling abouit on the floor.

u might not be a fan of halo, but u must be able to ackonowlged its a far better multiplayer game, the wealth oof options, and the multiplayer works properly, when will some game designers suss that 90% of games need the game totally changing for online play, daft to just hoy the 1player game online with no changes.

its a good game stranglehold but hasnt got much life in the product. halo fan or not, most people will be able to see in a few years which game will still be getting played and bought and stranglehold wont be

First off you need to learn how to spell. Second, Halo 3 is a verygood game, and I could not wait to get it, but I am not a fan-boy of the game either. The main reason I bought the game, was because of all the Hype. It was still good, and I think it was definitely worth the $60 I have spent on it. For John Woo Presents: Stranglehold, I thought the game was decent. Meaning it at leastdeserved a 3 out of 5. Single player was, in my opinion, really good, but the lack of replay value had me just wanting to rent it. Also, the things you could buy in the shop were pretty much pointless, except maybe for the new on-line skins. So after I bought those new characters, I decided it was time to do a little on-line multi-player. It could have definitely been better. I am not sure, but since I could hardly even find a match, and I wanted to get a glimpse of multi-player before I brought the game back to the store I kept right on it. I finally found one, and the on-line match was so poor that I played only enough games just to get my achievements. So, no doubt I would give Halo 3 the overall better score, (in my opinion, and if you weren't asking for ouropinions I doubt you would have put this in a thread.) So maybe, you should have given Halo 3 more time, and maybe just have gotten both instead.

ur entitled to your own opinion. i myself only have halo 3 so i can't compare... and although i enjoy the multiplayer... there are a few things that just make u frustrated. the biggest one for me is the running foward and backward...i find it stupid that there is practically no difference running backwards then there is running foward. also...also... the whole melee thing is kinda annoying... dont get me wrong i use it aswell but its just takes away from the gun fight...what i dont understand is for instance... when ur playing shotty snipers and u bump into an opp and u both shoot and hit eachother (with the shotgun) i dunno about ya but in that instance i havent come across a situation where we both die... its either i die... or i get the kill but im blinking in health... which is kinda retarded.. especially when we both hit eachother at the same time... either way... its a fun multiplayer... one thing that makes me laugh and gets me annoyed given the situation... is when people play the game like rainbow six... its a run n gun game damnit! lol

Halo 3 may have a better online experience but that is all that Halo 3 is. A pure online game is not worth $60. Thank god master chief is dead and this Halo madness can stop. Then again Bungie will just over hype another game and brain wash us all.

yea but strangleholds one thing about the game that stunk was the MP. And the review on GS was that they might as well not even have a MP cause its so bad. So how do you think its so good where not much people even play it. And also the story line is much shorter than halos. Didnt you even try the campaign, you made a big mistake. heres a thought, so you did an even trade halo 3 for stranglehold now just to be curious try to do the same thing but trade strangle hold for halo 3 and see how much side money you have to pay.

While you've only played for 20 minutes, I actually agree with your statement that I highlighted. I'm a 45 in the Lone Wolf and I ****ing hate playing this game. It's very refreshing at first. But it is just Halo 2 with some Halo 1 aspects and modern graphics. The gameplay is garbage as hell. It isn't 100% random, but it relies less on skill than Halo 2 does. And the melee function is a joke 100% FTL. In reality, I would rather play Halo 2 multiplayer than Halo 3. And if you think I haven't "given it a try" check my service record on Bungie. Lvl 45 is plenty.

The multiplayer is definately not going to outdo COD4. The COD4 beta was a thousand times better than the Halo 3 multiplayer is. The full version game won't beat Halo 3 in sales, but will wipe the competition as far as actual online multiplayer gaming goes. Hands down.
