Because people played it more than H2 and HCE combined. It was the sole reason why people bought XBOX 360s in the first place back when the system was new. It still was back in 08-09.

Sure we can argue game mechanics, the br spread, and other crap all day long but there is no disputing that H3 really 'blew up' Halo. Did HCE or H2 have those glorious Halo advertisements such as the battle recreation or the one with the old men, who used to be UNSC, talk about battles with The Chief? No.

Simply, there are a lot of memories with H3 that I and many others will have. Alas time moves on and so do video games.

HCE paved the way, H2 took it to a new level, and then H3 reaped the cash in when a crap ton of people bought and played the game.

Agreed for the buying a 360 part, after Halo and Halo 2's campaigns, i could not wait for Halo 3, but was seriously let down campaign wise.

The marketing campaign was top notch, definately one of the best i have seen in a long time

MP was similar to Halo 2 although i did not enjoy it as much, it was still a blast to play with friends ;)

Dude I haven't touched H3 since the release of Reach. I don't even have the game.

I'm just trying to prove the point that H3 sold hugely on the market and thus was the most 'popular' amongst the general population.

The hardcore folks say it was the worst Halo, game mechanics wise and other crap. That's another argument.

Reach is the worst, Halo 3 is the 2nd worse. Then halo 2, and then CE.

it's based on how big the skill gap was in the game

Just because more people bought it it dosen't mean it's better.

Though this whole thread is based on opinion let me mention a few things. Halo 2 was the first Halo game on XBL. No game has ever had a higher XBL population percentage than Halo 2. Essentially all online games on XBL now use the matchmaking system created in Halo 2, for all we know if that never happened XBL could be joining random servers. Halo 2 put XBL on the map for online console gaming, before Halo 2 online console gaming was a joke compared to online PC gaming. Many people and myself consider Halo 2 the golden age of Halo, so there are plenty of arguments against your belief that Halo 3 is the best of the series.

Oh god don't start that garbage.

I also think H3 was the best Halo. I didn't get it for a while after i got my 360 for some reason though. Halo 2 made me lose interest in the series.

"Were it so easy..."

Halo 3 was only more played than Halo CE and 2 because games went mainstream in the 360/PS3 generation.

But honestly, Halo 3 is my favorite overall. The Campaign wasn't quite as good as Halo CE's or 2s, and the Multiplayer WOULD have been worse than Halo 2's had Halo 2 not been so glitchy/hacked. But it was solid for the most part.

Honestly, glitches RUINED Halo 2, otherwise it WOULD be the best Halo game.

How is that garbage? It's fact. I still like Halo 3, just it's not the best game of the series.

Bad shot-registering and terribad netcoding made H3 a fcking hell.

The game was still great, but could have been amazing.

Ever wonder what's up there?

I wish I was born a couple years before so I could've enjoyed Halo 3 more, and gotten a 50 :(

Halo CE saved the xbox

Halo 2 saved xbox live

I love how the OP implies everyone bought a 360 just for halo 3.

Survive until the red dawn rises, when we have spilled the blood of our enemies.

Whas with all these people bagging out halo 3 on the HALO 3 FORUM. U think reach us so good then go ti the reach forum an bag it out there. There are some of us here who don't want to hear this 'Halo 3 is terrible' crap.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Halo 2 made Xbox Live. Xbox Live is and was still huge despite Halo 3.

Barely anyone has posted that in here. Furthermore many H3 gamers go in the reach section and comment in there. If nobody crossed over this thread would be very one sided and have no discussion going on.

“Who you are now, is not who you will be 10 years from now… who you will be 10 years from now... is up to YOU.”

Halo 3 is really really good! The Multiplayer would of been better if Bungie actually had Hitscan on for Halo 3!

Tho I do admit, where would we all be without the amazing franchise called 'Halo'?

Halo 3 + ODST made Halo 3 the greatest, they were a killer combo. ODST kept things fresh with FF and a new campaign. Halo 3 had a good campaign but got boring after the billionth time I played it, and the Multiplayer was probably the best of any Halo in my opinion, if you ignore the lag and some bad net code.
