Cleans up Halo 2's mistakes

I loved Halo 2's co-op features,but I thought that the missions were terrible!The missions where you were elites were just agony!But Halo 3 is such a large step up in TONS of way,such as,the co-op maps are a lot more fun,complex,and just plain better than Halo 2,the missions are so much better I can't name all of the improvements,but I will anyway.My favorite thing about co-op missions is to ride in a vehicle,my brother drives,while I operate the turret and wipe out all enemies in our path.I beat the game on all levels of difficulty and still haven't gotten tired of the game,I play it every time I go down to my neighbors house(which is quite often)and we enjoy every minute of it,whether it be shotguns,energy swords,or rocket launcher(all of which are my favorites)it's always a blast.Halo 3 is my favorite Xbox 360 game and I can't wait till Halo Wars comes out(I love RPG's)(role playing games).

I hear a lot of people saying call of duty 4 is better than halo 3, halo 3 is better than call of duty 4, etc,etc. They are both excellent games, and compliment each other. After playing the realism of cod4 it's nice to switch back to the low gravity, energy shield world of halo3. I also think the online play of halo3 is just that much more fun because you end up playing with more random people, who seem to talk more.

not that fun

maybe its just me, but i found halo 3 to be a little cheesey and weird. keep in mind that i have not played the other 2. alot of the weapons were lame and half the time, i couldnt see where i was in the game. much of it is darkly lit or hard to see. overall, there are better shoot-'em-up games out there.

I don't understand the hype

Ok i didn't have the first xbox so when I got my 360 I went out and bought
halo 1&2 because i knew 3 was coming soon. I just got bored with 1 and 2 still i gave this game benefit of the doubt and rent it and beat it, mind you I own 1&2 own still haven't beat them and it not because this game is fun but because it's really short. now the best thing about this game is the online play HANDS DOWN. But after 200 rounds of death match it can get old. the story not that epic as if it was touch by the hands of the maker, so why the hype.the vehicles in all this games handle so horribliy this is how i'd imagine a cat on roller skates would handle like. and the two weapons at a time i can't stand it's a video games it suppose to be unrealalistic and be sides that your shootings aliens for pete's sake. And yes i've actually people make the agruement "the 2 weapons thing is the games way of being realalistic, you couldn't carry 6 or 7 weapon could you?" if i've offended sorry but i'd rather be playing gears of war.

Wonderful Value

There are few games truly worth their 60 dollar price tags, and this is one of them. With a compelling campaign, an endless variety of multiplayer modes, the forge, and the theater, there is always something to do in Halo 3.

Huge let down

I honestly thought that Halo 3 would make me a believer, but it didnt. I played the first one and hated it. Played the second one and hated it; then I played the third installment and hated it even more. The campaign sucks. It is incredibly easy to pass and online sucks even more. I really don't see what people talk about. I don't see the magic. The guns feel weak and toy like. Perhaps what annoys me the most are the 12 year old kids that skip school to play. Rented and try it out. You might like it more than I did.

awesome game!

Let me start by saying that I'm 27 and relatively a newcomer to the next gen gaming consoles. After being burned by the dreamcast and the nintendo 64, I became jaded with the whole gaming thing. It felt like nothing could recapture those days when I would spend hours playing Mike Tyson's punchount on the NES and then Street fighter on the SNES.

Then along came the Xbox. However, it HALO 3 that salvaged any shred of goodwill I had towards the gaming industry. When I thought I could never feel engaged/enthralled with a game, HALO 3 smacked me across the face for ever thinking that game consoles/designers had sold us - the consumers - out.

To put it simply, having HALO 3 with an xbox live account may bring you closer to feeling how a crackhead must feel when he wants crack. This game has it all. I'm in law school right now. After marathon reading sessions, I start to get tired. When this happens, I pop in HALO 3 and bust out a couple of matches. My adrenaline rises through the roof and all of sudden I'm WIDE AWAKE. This game is that good.

Not Perfection, But Still Worth the Price Tag

Before you buy this game, I strongly suggest you at least play through Halo 2. It helps the dreadfully short campaign become more exciting. Sort of a "let's finish the job" feeling.

This game doesn't hold a lot when it comes to campaign mode. The easy difficulty is hilarious, the medium difficulty is kind of boring, heroic is inconsistent, and legendary is, well, pretty hard. When I say inconsistent, I'm referring to the enemy AI. At times it can be strangely easy but at other times it's impossible.

The story is useless if you haven't played the previous installments of Halo. The cut scenes and levels are still very pretty, but the characters are still generic. The Flood is an annoyance factor, but it provides for a challenge in certain levels.

Without the multilayer this game would be a major let down. The online multilayer can be a very enjoyable experience. I dislike the fact that everything is searched instead of allowing you to pick and choose displayed games, but it does give you the chance to play with some cool people and try new game variants.

The system still has a few bugs, though. I occasionally get the "incompatible network" error displayed when I try to play with certain people (I've got an open network connection). You basically have to download the Heroic Map Pack if you want to play every game possible. Leveling up is very annoying, but you do get a feeling of accomplishment once you start to move up.

I recommend this game to everyone unless you haven't enjoyed the previous games. It's nothing new, but it's amazingly fun. It's a great way to get introduced to the first person shooter genre. Still not the best game in the world, but fun.

the standard

Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!!

Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 5-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your free PS3 or your selected item for free, I chose the PS3. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY or any message boards, blogs, face book, my space or any place you hang out at. !
