they sure as hell aren;t playing Halo3 anymore


Console gamers are all the same, right when the next "new" thing comes out, they all rush to it. Look what happened to GOW, what was left of their fanbase went off to play Halo 3. Same as Halo 3, right when COD4 came around the corner, everyone went to that game "Just because everyone else was". Same goes for World of Warcraft.com. Everyone on the forums goes to the next new tMMORPG because they think everyone else will play that game.

1 million cancelled subscriptions later, those people go back to WoW, the same has happened with Halo 3. Hell COD4 only has an average of 60,000 people playing that game now.
Except you still have those six or seven million people still playing WoW, but what you say makes sense.

Halo is better than Halo 3 when you compare them at the time of their release, in my opinion.

oh and the grunts i think are funny in halo1 then halo3 because in halo1 when i'm playing as soon as i see a grunt they either start shooting and i return fire or they run away and i throw at plasma gernade on them and watch the fireworks

i laugh at the people who say i would pay 100 dollars for halo 1 with XBL. when it comes down to it, if Bungie released halo 1 with XBL support and wanted 100 dollars for it every one of you would complain saying its too much money for an old game that you already own and just need xbox support for.

You guys complain about 10 dollars for maps and say you would pay 100 dollars for halo 1. lol

And the tard who said halo 3 went from 500,000 to 50,000 because they went to halo 1 or COD 4, you are an idiot, too.


Halo 3 plus the map pack is roughly $70. That's not an unreasonable price. Halo with live support would be about twice as good. That would set it at around $140. It would have more replay value than Rock Band, and that's $170. The problem with the map pack is that it's almost required. Halo 3 had the weakest map set of the 3 games. Also, the new maps aren't as good as Halo maps. If the map pack included Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, and Damnation I would pay much more than $10. It's not the cost of the maps; it's the value of the maps.

halo1 would never beat halo3 the only reason your saying that is because you dont have halo3 or a xbox360 so stop making these stupid forums

1) I have both consoles and all 3 games. Halo 1 is better than Halo 3.
2) Punctuation is your friend.
3) I think you mean threads.

All I can say is take off the Rose coloured glasses of Nostalgia, half your facts are biased considering that on LAN, you play with friends not random jackasses that scream into the mike constantly.

After taking off those glasses, should we rush to the next new thing that comes out?

I think that's the reason a lot of people switched to Halo 2 and ultimately switched to Halo 3.

C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!

In my opinion, Halo 3 can be considered more replayable, or at least has a much larger variety of gameplay than the first Halo (which necessarily isn't a good thing, but you can't even start a game with less than two players on the original Xbox or have people join in during the middle of the game session, which is quite out dated by gaming standards of today).

I'm sorry; you lost me there.

The interface and options are outdated. That was probably the case when it was released, but I think the actual gameplay is the best. Halo 3's replayability is hindered by the lack of a custom games search.

I would have to agree. I don't want to say rank and statistics are artificial indications of success and progress (like Achievements), but people inevitably abuse and misuse the system and it is flawed (not saying it can be perfect). A browser list would be epic.

after years of playing the halo series, i can still say without a doubt that halo 1 is still the best, hands down

  • 01.02.2008 11:45 PM PDT

Let there be CHAOS!

Halo > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Of course.

  • 01.03.2008 6:23 PM PDT

You know what, I kinda like how Bungie did the whole trilogy. And all 3 Halo games have their own "look", style, & "feel", and each game provides a completey different experience from the other ones. And each game still has a very healthy dose of players.

Anywho, in my opinion :

Halo 1's campaign is a lot of fun, and they just nailed everything just "right". MP is a blast, too, but doesn't appeal to everyone.
Halo 2 just never seems to get old for me. It's a huge blast with a lot of people, and the Campaign was done very well, and is quite memorable (not as memorable as H1, mind you). But they nailed a lot of things just right.
Halo 3, let's see. It's OK, and can be a lot of fun at times. But Campaign feels a little too enclosed and linear. MP can be a blast, but a lot of -blam!-s ruin the game.

They're all good games, and all have their own flavour, and I love them all very much. But let's face it: Halo 1 had the best campaign of them all =D

Campaign: Halo:CE>Halo 3>Halo 2
Multiplayer: Halo 3>Halo 2>Halo:CE

Winner: Halo 3

Overall winner: Halo Trilogy

  • 01.06.2008 12:59 PM PDT

It's a toss up for most replayable MP...the only reason Halo 1 would not be in the race would be because it has no XBL functions.

But anyone who says Halo: CE campaign has less replayability than Halo 3 is a fool. Just because Halo 3 has larger maps and 4 more levels does not make it easier to pick up anytime of the day and play. Halo CE fits perfectly...while Halo 3 gets a bit aggravating and repetitive.

I agree man 100 percent. Halo 3 isnt a bad game but it isn't half as good as the original. I would pay 100 bucks for HALO with online multiplayer.


Amen. That would be the greatest thing to happen to Xbox360.


im pretty sure it wouldnt be the greatest thing to happen to xbox360, it would be the greatest thing to EVER happen.

Right, because Halo is literally more awesome than sex and pie combined!

  • 01.10.2008 1:30 PM PDT

Well, it's true that they never managed to recapture what made halo 1's campaign so good.

  • 01.11.2008 3:51 AM PDT

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

If you need a campaign fix, play Halo 1
If you want the best map selection, play Halo 2
if you want a mix of both play Halo 3

It's not rocket science people...

Well technically they all involve rockets so im going to say that last part is wrong.

Anyway i dont see why bungie just doesnt remake the ce maps. it would take less time then making brand new maps i think even with testing them for newer gametypes and weapons.

Because Waterworks was a gem, right?

  • 01.11.2008 5:34 PM PDT

ok. i must have a say in this. in campaign, halo 1 kicks halo 3's ASS. its just so much better. i love that feeling of open space. the whole h3 campaign was kinda cramped. the marines are a little better in h3, but come on, who needs marines in h1? i just kill most of them anyway. in multiplayer. h3 has xbl, thats its main redeeming feature. but seriously, the maps, ugh. the maps have gone downhill with each new game in the series. personally i really miss Blood Gulch. and what happened to normal CTF? now you get stupid things, like someone before me posted, a 15 minute game of one bomb. a custom games search would be really nice as well. but i seriously miss the old maps. Blood Gulch was clearly the best map in the history of gaming. and whoever says Coagulation is better or even close to equal with BG, i will come over there and bash some sense into you with a plastic Assault Rifle. i swear, Coagulation was a crappy remake. i could go on about every single individual feature of BG and why Coag didnt do a good job at it, but i wont, because no one will read it. however, i will type it up, and anyone wishing for a full report may PM me. Halo 1 FTW!

By best selection you mean most maps? Map quality was definitely highest on Halo 1.

  • 01.12.2008 11:26 AM PDT

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

I dunno, I think Halo 3 beats it by a nanometer because of the great multiplayer but the campaign on halo is amazing and if bungie put achievements and xbl in Halo 1 then they would be my two favourites both first and halo 2 in 2nd. It was the most disapointing.

Are you serious. Ranking systems have taken all joy from Halo games. That's why cheating occurs. People only play for a fake ranking on a t.v. screen.

People don't play for rank, they play because its fun.

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92
xfire:madkiller92

halo 1 had best campaign and multiplier if u don't include all the new stuff and updates, but halo 3 is better only cause of newer stuff. and in h2 my marines r retards. They run each other over, kill me by shooting me, and when i was on a gondola vehicles over a lake my marine rolled over to get a better view of the banshee, which was like 200 ft away, so he rolled over falling like 50-100ft to his death because he was trying to shoot a banshee.
