Bioshock > Halo 3.

Halo 3 has user created stuff though, and it has more features so I like Halo more.

YOU'RE JUST BAD SO YOUR OPINION MEANS A LOT LESS. YOU HAVE FAR LESS EXPERIENCE THAN SOMEONE WITH A HIGHER RANK THAN YOU.

i have yet to see your service record proving you are in fact a higher rank than me, and since it is easy to link a random account to the thread and claim it is yours, i won't believe you unless your actual profile is linked to it, so shut the hell up.

I can list a couple of games that beat Halo.

GTA IV
Bioshock
Fallout 3
Gears of War 2
MW2

THIS GAME IS EASY AS HELL. YOU COULD GET AN 11 NOT EVEN PLAYING. YOU MUST NOT HAVE HANDS TO BE SO BAD. MW2 IS BETTER BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT CAME OUT OVER 2 YEARS AFTER H3 SO THAT JUST SHOWS WHAT A GREAT GAME HALO IS AND HOW GOOD THE SERIES IS. PEOPLE STILL PLAY H2'S MULTIPLAYER.


Your point (Atleast the second half) would have been valid if you took off the caps.

Not the point. MW2 is better. Doesn't matter how long. Halo 3 has failed.

you have yet to prove you have a higher rank than me dip -blam!-, and i don't play ranked games, i play social games dumb ass, if you took all my social wins and put them into the ranked playlists, i'd probably be a rank 30-40. so, prove that you aren't lying about your rank and i will back off.

... there are almost twice the xbox360s now then when halo 3 came out. So it does matter.

This thread is nothing but a bunch of repetitive flaming with no real point and has drifted so far off the original topic.

If you fail on your first attempt, try cheating

Multiplayer sells the game, but the campaign is just the bonus reason

I buy it for campaign. Multiplayer is a secondary thing for me. They should focus on both :D

same here.

And look at assassins creed, bioshock, Mario.

I agree with the OP, that multiplayer is what sells games and keeps people playing them. I don't buy games for MP since I don't have XBL anymore, as such story or campaign is very important to me. However, if Reach is just the same as Halo 3 with a few tweaks then I shan't play it. I'd like to see something new, I don't care what it is just as long as it changes the experience. Multiplayer needs something new, I don't think it would be a good idea just to rehash the usual Halo multiplayer with new maps, a few new guns and slightly better graphics. Singleplayer also needs something to change the dynamic a little bit.

^ My fanfiction. You should go and read it. And leave comments on it. Yeah.

No. Just no.

OP, you're either an idiot or a fairly convincing troll.
It's hard to tell sometimes. :|

I'll humor you, I guess.

Before Halo came along, I never really played FPS games. I originally bought Halo purely because the universe and the stories within it appealed to me. (Of course, since then I've discovered how much fun FPSs can really be. :D) While I've come to enjoy the multiplayer, the campaign is still my favorite part of the games. So, I would say that, to me at least, campaign is far more important than multiplayer. And, as you can see, there's plenty of others who feel similarly.

Also, OP, just because you're not skilled at something doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.

This thread was pointlessly started and the person who started it cant take it that others have an opionion just as valid as his so whenever he posts he has a link to their career stats and just takes the piss.
I personally enjoy campaign more, but his opionion can be right in a way that if Bungie work more on multiplayer, then it could be a new reason to buy it.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

It's like a glass of wine vs 1000 barrels of water.

If you only got the wine you run out of it very soon but it's great.
If you only got the water you got it for years but it tastes like nothing.

Multiplayer is nothing if you can't releate to anything. Halo is scifi so without story you couldn't releate to anything.

Also, multiplayer is easy to make. Campaign is a lot more complex to make fun and replayable.

Bungie, will the first release of Reach info coming in November I just wanted to say this:

Your game does not sell for its campaign. The success of the halo franchise is built off its multiplayer. Reach's main focus should be on the multiplayer, as it has a greater replay value than any campaign.

Essentially work on the multiplayer not the campaign. Best put by Cursed Lemon,"Nobody buys halo for the campaign."
