i don't have halo 3, nor do i plan to get it anytime soon. with that said, i think it is a VERY good game, despite what OTHERS have said about it. it seems to be the new cool thing to bash on a game that is even remotely popular. as much as i LOVE call of duty 4 (and i love it to PIECES), i think halo 3 has the perfect multiplayer competitive set up for first person shooters. it plays fast and simple, yet has enough to it that keeps you thinking. it's got WONDERFUL multiplayer support, with things such as forge, replay save, online databases, etc, to spice up the multiplayer community. it has that concept that has made games like starcraft and street fighter rise up to the competitive scene; it's very easy to learn, but very hard to master.
"it brings nothing new" is a foolish claim, even i can see everything that it has brought, everything halo 1 and 2 has brought, and everything halo 3 has brought, which will undoubtly be copied by other developers in no time. all the people that bash it are just butthurt that it got better reviews than their game of choice (and ironically enough, these are the same people that always say things like review don't matter, etc).
even the SLIGHT changes can make the game miles better. anyone here play street fighter 3 competitively? i do, and back in the day, 2nd impact was amazing. and when 3rd strike came out, it had a couple new characters, and some minor tweaks to gameplay, but when we played it with those minor tweaks in action, the game was BREATHTAKING! i STILL play it competitively, 10 years after it was release. basically, you take a good game, leave all the good in, and fix any problems in it while adding a few new things and tweaking it around. that's what halo 3 did, and i don't see what the huge problem is with that.
