Halo 3 - to buy or not to buy

[Atomic_Piggy]

Will you be cashing out for Halo 3? I was never a great fan (gave it 7/10) and Halo 2 shucked. I mean it seriously shucked ass. Halo 3 might be better but either way, I'll get it just to see how the trilogy ends.:burp:

 

[.Wolf.]

im not too sure, im definatly going to buy it no matter what, but i dont know why it is so hyped up. the hitman series for me was the greatest. halo is good, half life kicks ass, but hitman just rocked my world.

 

[Warbie]

Damn right i'm going to buy it.

 

[Anthraxxx]

If you played through the first two, you may as well finish the trilogy. Halo 3 is supposed to answer all the questions that were left from Halo 1 and 2. Hopefully, it'll answer the questions that were left from the novels too...

Thats my point.

 

[Zeus]

Only if it comes out on xbox 1 as well, since I don't have a 360. If it's only on 360 then no

 

[DeusExMachina]

Its obviously only coming out for the 360.

And yes I do plan on getting. Plus, we got a new Halo novel coming soon. Can't wait for that.

 

[.Wolf.]

cool, thanks for the pics! i dident know there was another coming! i love the books...

 

[Axyon]

Even though I really don't like the series, it's the one game you're pretty much required to have as a 360 owner. I imagine it'll be fantastic to look at, too.

 

[Cormeh]

Aye probably. I enjoyed the first enough. Although I don't rate it as highly as most.

 

[AmishSlayer]

By the time it comes out I might actually have a 360 so I'll rent it at the very least to see if MP still sucks and beat the singleplayer.

 

[knut]

New Halo novel? WOOOOO.

And yezzur I'll be buying Halo 3. I enjoyed the games (moreso Halo 1 than 2) so it's pretty mandatory for me to get it. Plus, Halo 2 online has kept me playing for at least a good 9 months now. As generic as some of the gametypes ge, and as annoying as some of the obnoxious, small-minded Americans get, I'm still on it, every night. Mainly because my freinds play, mind, but we have good fun. Sometimes.

 

[Asknoone]

Probably. Despite the series being fairly...lackluster.

 

[wilka91]

I had to buy the XBOX just to play Halo 2

in the end, it was one of the worst gaming experiences in my life

MS won't make me buy another console, or Halo game either

 

[Slacker]

Doubtful. I hated Halo 2.

 

[Stigmata]

If it's got anything like Halo's singleplayer with Halo 2's multiplayer and Gears of War's graphical power, I can't NOT get it.

And new books = win.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Hell yea I'm going to buy it! First day.

 

[Warbie]

Here's hoping. I'd be happy with the originals single player and uber next gen gfx/physics.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

When it comes on pc...or I'll just find a friend with a 360 and that game...shouldn't be too hard (just have to watch out for the freaks though).

 

[Sebastian]

If you haven't played Halo or Halo 2 on legendary yet, you are missing out on some seriously fun gameplay. So before you bash halo and say how bad it was, go play on legendary

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

I will not buy it. Halo 2 was very repetitive.


Halo does'nt deserve to be named in the same breathe as Half-Life.


Edit: Typo

 

[Warbie]

Halo does'nt seserve to be named in the same breathe Half-Life.

Halo Halo Halo Half-life Half-life Halo Half-life Halo Halo Halo

 

[Gorgon]

what type of question is this...... 100% Yes/A must buy motherfooking game.

 

[Jangle]

I don't understand why everybody says Halo 2 is rubbish. It's about as good as the first one.

 

[Axyon]

This is almost too obvious, but you just answered your own question.

 

[Warbie]

I disagree - maybe in multiplayer, but single player wasn't a patch on the first. The uber challenge and perfect balance was traded for a more 'herded' experience with less options for the player and less tactical combat. I still enjoyed it, though.

 

[Asknoone]

Halo was far better than Halo 2. But...that isn't really saying much.

 

[Jangle]

This is almost too obvious, but you just answered your own question.

Sigh. Compared to the first Halo. I thought it was so obvious people wouldn't bother posting that sentance.

Warbie, I see what you mean about less choices for the player and stuff. Maybe it's not as good as the first one... It's still quite fun though, it's not a bad game.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

I don't get why every body compare's Halo to Half-Life.


Halo imo is nothing more than an overated overhyped console shooter.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Halo and Half-Life are practically two different games. Only thing in common is fps and aliens :|.

We're... not. You seem to be the only person saying them both in the first place. :|

Well, a year ago G4 tech Tv was comparing Halo to Half-Life, & on one of the show's Halo won...crazy talk.

 

[Krynn72]

I never played halo 1 or 2. Ive only played halo2 multiplayer at a friends house, and that was only twice.

 

[DeusExMachina]

G4 also voted Zelda having a better storyline than Chrono Trigger.

...Who the hell watches and actually listens to what G4 says :|.

 

[Warbie]

G4 also voted Zelda having a better storyline than Chrono Trigger.

Let's face it, as good as both these games are, neither would win a prize for there story.

 

[Asknoone]

I hate Zelda. But Chrono Trigger is great.

 

[Warbie]

How can you hate Zelda?! That's like hating puppies or ice cream or boobs. Anyhoo, Secret of Mana was better than them both. Woohoo, thread derailed \o/

 

[Reginald]

Boobs + Ice Cream is an awesome combination.

Sorry, what was the title of this thread?

 

[DeusExMachina]

Let's face it, as good as both these games are, neither would win a prize for there story.

Did...did you play Chrono Trigger ?

 

[Warbie]

Sure - time travel, big hair, big eyes, twee music, all good
