Karmastocracy Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Halo is a very opinionated game (as you might be able to see by the comments.) It's a usual love/hate relationship in which you usually fall hard for the game, or you just don't like it (and dislike it even more because of the hype attached to a Halo title.) I can't help but write from a baised perspective since I'm definitely an addict of the game, but I can tell you several things about the game: 1) The game is not worth it unless you have Xbox Live. Many people might argue differently, but the fact is there are far better single player games (Unless you have played the other Halo's and read the books, in which case the single player game acually becomes much more epic and understandable.) 2)The multiplayer has a large "learning curve" so to speak. Halo multiplayer is a blast, and can be incredibly exciting and fun... when you are good at it. Chances are when you first get the game and use Online Multiplayer you will get smoked. It takes a lot of time to get used to the multiplayer, and the competition is intense and usually very good. The good part about Halo 3 is that it's not as bad as Halo 2 because of the TrueSkill matching. Don't let that fool you however. This is often the deciding point as you might not have very much fun online for the first week until you get a lot better. 3) The game is well made, and has tons of replay value. I mean, you really can't argue that. Through all it's faults, Halo remains exceptional. Online Co-op for up to 4 players, Forge Mode (Multiplayer Editer- Turned into a game!), the Theatre/Saved Films, one of the best multiplayers of all time, a fun campaign with loads of easter eggs, and great graphics (If you have a good TV.) You will have fun with the game if you give it enough time, and for all the games out there right now I think it is a good investment. That's my recommendation.

Medellin Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 /me falls of chair. Halo 3 is a heck of a lot more repetitive What's with the blind hate? You ever played Halo 3? Assassin's Creed has no multiplayer with a pretty linear gameplay. Halo 3's main feature is online matchmaking. Can't even compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have all achievements/medals/armor perms/ and Level 50? I only say this because I believe the debate here is about the re-playability, and you say it has very little when I believe is has quite a lot.

jjrox32 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Halo 3 has the most fun multiplayer I've ever seen, especially when playing with friends. It also has the shortest single player mode I've seen since heavenly sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Only buy Halo if you plan on playing multiplayer. If you want good single player game, Half Life 2 and it's expansion packs are better. Halo's campaign isn't bad...it's just short and uninspired compared to the the plot of the first game...back when Halo had a thrilling plot and fresh gameplay...[/run-on sentence] the original Halo? Thrilling plot? There wasn;t even a single, solid plot until "Two Betrayals"! It was still awesome, though... Anyways, if you have followed the rest of the series, yes, get it, but I think you said you haven't, so no. I believe it is useless to get into a game at the end of the series, playing the end first.

yomom1919 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Just beat assassins creed, and I definitely think you should get it, maybe buy halo 3 and assassins creed used? It's extremely short though, and extremely easy [i only died 2 or so times throughout the whole game]. But it's definitely a new and innovative type of game. Yes, it is repetitive, but the whole type of gameplay is so new you won't mind it. Also the story situation is quite interesting. You shouldn't miss out on either of the games. Lol @ halo fanboys trying to assert their game is better when the 2 games are completely different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
