GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Nov 2, 2009

I played the original with a friend of mine on the Xbox and enjoyed it. Nothing like beating the game on co-op.

We never got around to playing Halo 2 together, but he had it and like it. Since then I moved from Georgia back to Hawa'i.

I am now borrowing Halo 3 from a friend at work (my boss actually!).

Like the original Halo I'm expecting it to be a good game. I am not expecting a spiritual experience. I am not expecting to be so blown away I can talk about Halo and nothing else. I'm not expecting to be so impressed that I go out and buy the game for myself (indeed, there are other games i want but am putting off getting).

Halo never figured into my reasons to get an Xbox 360. Its just a game, and truth be told one in a genre that I'm not a huge fan of anymore.

So - any advice before I jump in? Won't be tonight - maybe during the week or (more likely) this weekend.

Oh, and at some point I really want to try Horde mode in Gears 2. Any advice there?

Halo 3's campaign is just alright. I'd much rather play Halo mutliplayer any day. Horde mode is only friend with friends via LAN.

Halo 3 MP is the best and the campaign is pretty good.

Not going to fuss with multiplayer unless I can do coop on Live.

ive played Halo at my friends house it was pretty fun but from what ive played nothing changed from Halo 1 really thats why i think Halo 3 is overrated dont get me wrong its a good game but it doesnt deserve all the credit it got

Nah. Not interested. Might rent it later or borrow it, but I can't see myself spending $60 on that. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

@NuKkU
There's something to be said for refinement, though. Virtua Fighter hardly changes between versions. On top of that, change stuff too much and you piss off the fans.

"Its not (insert game name) anymore! What's wrong with you?!"

I've heard that so many times over so many games and so many trivial (or needed) changes. Sometimes we're really bone-headed, you know? Granted, I've done that myself a time or two, like a moron :p

The first Halo was the best. Halo 3 comes next as far as campaign with H2 bringing up the rear.

The single player experience IMO is not very good. The MP is what it is, but the single player is just barely mediocre for me. In fact, not trying to give away any spoilers, you will notice a very similar sequence towards the end of the game that almost copies the original. I won't say what it is, but when you see it you will know.

The single player in Halo 3 is actually quite enjoyable and provides a satisfying end to the trilogy. And the multiplayer is exactly what you'd expect if you played Halo 2.
