HALO 3 did it live up to the hype?

[ShenmueAddict]

This game was fucking hyped like crazy but is the game actually as good as they say it is?

I Have played it, my friend bought it and i can say that while it is a good game with very nice visuals it is soooo fucking easy/short , you can complete the game on Normal mode in less than 8 hours!

People have been making exscuses saying it should be played in Legendary but surely normal mode like any other game shouldent make the game that short!

Still its a lot of fun in 2 player and no doubt online (though i havent tried that)

did you buy it? what are your thoughts?

Don't care for the series beyond the first one, played some of 3, better than 2, but not by much.

Also, the motion blur nearly made me vomit.

[GinfnersAddict]

I really hate the Halo series, hyped far to much, so overrated, fact is if it was a pc only game it would've quickly got lost and forgotten as another generic fps.

[ShenmueAddict]

^ I agree with the above statement

[GinfnersAddict]

So you should.

The Halo series are not bad games but they are not significantly great either. As the above poster said, they are highly over rated.

Halos Online Mode Surpasses All Other FPS' it's I buy the games purly for it's online mode i've completed the campaign in normal and almost in legendry, but I play it online all the time.

I would definatly say it was amazing.. online although all agreed the campaign in normal is too short and easy you can litterally run through it almost

I could I've only got the last two levels to do and I can walk through the next one, it's just time each level takes around 20 mins without even killing people just walking it. Gets kinda annoying so I do the next level every other week. Which is why it's taking so long.

Have you done the bit where you are in a buggy and the floor is falling in all around you?

and the last boss is that stupid orb thing right?

[Gorek]

Yeah done both bits in normal, there are no bosses really in halo just slightly better enemies. Also that daft little orb only takes like 4 shots from the lazer cannon and it's dead.

[ShenmueAddict]

^ I think it takes a bit more than 4 shots in legendary

[blakey]

In my opinion it did to the most part, while not as good as the first...the story and gameplay/environments were certainly a helluva lot better than the dreadful Halo 2 story and adventures as the bloody arbiter...i wanna me MC!!

The multiplayer was also absolutely awesome in my opinion and it's still one of the best value for money games you can buy on 360 today.

[ShenmueAddict]

i wonder what happend to blakey?

[GinfnersAddict]

Think he was last seen playing xbox 360 dashboard

[Jonny Craig]

[GinfnersAddict]
