I personally believe that Halo 3 should be GOTY. Now theres a lot of people who are saying that COD4 and other games are better. In my opinion, COD4 is the only game that has a chance of running against Halo 3, and I still think Halo 3 is better. If you think about it COD4 is just a polished version of any ol' COD game, nothing extremely special to it. There just isn't anything that would automatically make it GOTY. Now with Halo 3 you get a whole mess of features. First Halo 3 finishes the fight with a conclusion to it's epic story which fans have awaited since the ending to Halo 2. But in Halo 3, you are not forced to finish the fight by yourself, or with your friend. Now, you can finish the fight with up to 3 other friends via xbox live or system link. Still, campaign doesn't stop there, if you and your friend are have an argument over who is better at campaign, you can turn on campaign scoring to actually find out, and tweek how campaign plays with skulls.Then, of course, you have Halo 3's amazing online multiplayer, with its multiple maps and gametypes, the multiplayer never becomes old. Even still, Bungie continues to make new maps for multiplayer so that the game is everchanging. Also, to make multiplayer even better, you can now not only customize your Spartans colors and emblem, but his armor too. Next you have Forge. Forge is virtually basic modding software which used to be illegal and is now encouraged. This gives players the ability to change a map until they get it exactly how they like it. Then you have Saved Films so that everything you do is recorded so there is no more of listening to your friend BS about how they took down a whole team with one grenede. Not only can you view the film in complete 3D, you can also take pictures and save videos from your game, and upload them to your Bnet account along with your map variants and gametypes. Now if you didn't like Halo 3's campaign, surely all of the other features are enough to make up for it. You can't really argue with all of this logic. Honestly Halo 3 is really the only option when it comes to Game of the Year. Now I know that Bioshock wone GOTY on spike, but we'll see the real winner when G-phoria rolls around. Spike is more of a popularity contest.
