Halo 3 - Yay or Nay?

[oooviperooo]

graphics are amazing in halo 3.. but i hate how there are so many different weapons and all the stupid shields and flares.. they dont belong in matchmaking

I've got some mixed feelings, but overall I say Yay.

+
Drastically improved enemy AI.
Equipment is nice.
Gravity Hammer is different enough from the Energy Sword to be a cool new weapon.
Needler is no longer worthless.
Forge mode is da shit!
Theater mode is also da shit!
Multiplayer Fuel Rod is finally an option.
Sniper Jackals are easier.
Brutes are no longer ammo vortexes.
No bosses.
Wraith's Plasma Cannons are player-accessible.
Scorpion Tank has the machine gun and shells separated, thus making it less overpowered.

-
Campaign ends with a giant steaming pile of bullshit vomited out of a buffalo's anus.
Bad weapon placement makes a lot of the multiplayer maps suck.
Superfluous shit also makes a lot of the multiplayer maps suck.
Achievements are overwhelmingly disproportioned to the campaign, making the rest insignificant.
The Mauler is worthless, and completely non-alien.
The Magnum combines the worst aspects of the previous magnums, with an extra bit of bullshit.
The Spiker is just a Plasma Rifle that uses ammo.
Spartan Laser is as worthless as it can possibly be against anything but vehicles.
Forge mode wasn't used to create the official multiplayer maps, and as such isn't tuned to perfection.
Forge mode has stupid limits. It uses a budget system, presumably to prevent lag, but then has additional item-specific limits, as if a 33rd plasma grenade is going to suddenly make the game crash.
The vehicles are unbalanced. The Ghost is almost always better than the Mongoose, for example.

I'm sure I've missed some things on both sides, but this is plenty enough, and I don't care to keep typing.

I vote yay... I havn't got it myself yet but I've played it at a freinds house. Not better than Halo 2 though...

Yay!!!! The best game ever, it has amazing graphics, weapons, vehicles, everything. If you haven't played the game then you are missing out big time.

Frankly I really don't understand what all the hating is about, I'll admit the campaign is a bit short and left me wanting a bit more...
However the multiplayer redefines fun, it's just so fast paced. The only thing I despise about the multiplayer is 10 year olds screaming that your a hacker or you suck, and their is just a lot of racism, which really isn't needed.
But I just make a custom game with my friends and have a blast.
Weapons are great, love the gravity hammer , new vehicles are fine but the Elephant is a bit overpowered (Like if 8 guys on the other team all hop on and grab a turret ), the new AI system is really challenging I used to destroy the game on heroic in Halo 2 but I got raped over and over again in Halo 3, and it was really just an overall great game and great experince.
Thanks Bungie!

I never will try it, or never will want to.
So my choice is "Nay"
(Geez, I sound like a horse)

Pshh, Runescaper.

 

[Cruel__Machine]

It's not the number of cons that makes me say nay, it's the lack of pros. It's ultimately more of the same, with better graphics, which are no better than many other new games.

Amen Cruel. Amen.

I also find the need to pay for Xbox live a complete waste of money and time. I'd rather pay for an internet connection alone, rather than having to buy all of the accessories "required" to play.

Halo 2 wasn't the best game. It was alright - but once I completed the campaign, it got hell boring. Way too boring for my taste. Counter-Strike: Source and Half-life 2/Deathmatch are way better allover. You get the same thing but with different concepts. Halo 3 is no different than Halo 2. Seeing as I already have an original Xbox, and I have both Halo 1 and Halo 2, I don't feel the need to buy a prettier version of something I already have.

Besides - Unreal Tournament is and always was better than Halo, and seeing as I own all the Unreal Games released, I don't feel the need to play a game I consider to be lesser.

It could have been a good game. Seriously, it could have. But it just got way too old, way too fast.

its okay not great not bad just ok

 

[hitmanchimp6]

I went to a friends yesterday and played Halo 3 for the 1st time on live. OMFG, it is sooooo addicting. I love it

 

[Pussy]

love it!, awsome graphix

 

[BootyLove]

I was pretty disappointed on how some guns are totally over powered. But, the game itself in general is O.K.

Yay.

Yay.

I think it's pretty well balanced. What guns do you think are overpowered? If you are talking about the gravity hammer, its only overpowered to newbs.

for me best game ever!
