I think Bungie should give the Halo series a break and work on something else for the Xbox 2. After Halo 2 disappointing many gamers single player wise, i think a Halo 3 wouldnt be as successful next go round. If Bungie starts on Halo 3 in 3-4 years, then the hype would be huge for the next installment to the Halo series.

I personally thought that the single player was alright and that it may have disappointed some but the multiplayer was spectacular as usual. 3-4 years is far too long a time to just start halo 3. If it is currently done i think that they should release it in 2 years because then people will be beginnning to get bored of halo 2 and would love the next installment.

No, it will take Bungie 2-3 years to make their "next" game for the Xbox 2. THEN, they can start on Halo 3, and begin the hype.

Ummm... Great games never are forgotten. HL2 for example
In 3-4 years when Bungie secretly releases the Halo 3 announcement trailer on the net for the first time, it will be breathtaking. If they start on it now, and release a trailer in 4-5 months, it wouldnt be as exciting

Basically I think it disappointed most people cause so many of us got good at the first one. We had stuck with the same game for three years and everyone had nearly mastered the game and had beaten legendary. Then Halo 2 comes out and so many things have change that so many players that had gotten good at Halo werent expected to have to change plans and start from the bottom just like they had never played Halo before. Basically I think the game is alright, though I havent played all the way through Campaign yet. Most of the people complaining now are probably those exact people I was talking about, people who were masters at Halo and with Halo 2, couldnt handle the fall off the top of the ladder where when they landed found they were no more better than the rest of us. Yeah the learning curve was probably quicker for these guys but I'd say they are just getting frustrated cause they are getting wasted online when before they were the masters in their local areas.

i agree the hype would be bigger three years later, but thats not when they should make it, they should start it now and annouce it 2 years later.and release it 3 years from now. more time = better game

hey, you know it says they scraped the 9 mission storyline? and replaced it with the 15 missions? well maybe the reason it took 3 years i cos they have already started to make it? and will release it (i know its just a rumour but hey) on feb 9th 2005/6. they left a cliff hanger ending, and it felt like we were just getting started when it ended. i was looking foward to kicking some butt after the excitment jsut before the end, but then it left off. i think this is why people are dissapointed, they expected a showdown, human vengance at last but were left with a kick ass cliffhanger that was a serious anti climax. howver, i enjoyed the single player game. it was quite good, despite the end, which wasn't that bad anyway. i doubt they'll relese it on feb 9th 2005, as 1.5 million pre-orderers would be unable to pre-order it if they released it secretely.

John is the Master Chief's name before he started in the SPARTAN II project. Master Chief is actually his rank
