Subject: What made Halo 3 great for you?

Honestly, when I have not played Halo 3 in a few months, after the release of Halo Reach, I got more on playing Halo Reach, then, I left, Halo 3, Halo Reach, the two of those games are good.

Regardless of what the community says.

Honestly, the people playing Halo are so annoying, so I stopped playing Halo, well I decided to check around the forums with all the Halo 4 and Halo CE Anniversary announcement. (Even if the games are made by 343.)

So now, I look back at my past, and I wonder, why did I like Halo 3 so much, if you look at my account, I've played a good amount of custume games, I remember playing custume games just for the heck of it.

Playing Fat Kid every week, everyone screaming as the zombies came at us, ahh good times. There were so many games made by the community, I realized something, the community makes Halo fun.

But, over time, Halo started losing popularity, and CoD gained more, people started to stop playing custume games...I tried to play matchmaking, it was fun, but not as fun.

Then Halo Reach came out,I had hope, I was waiting for the custume games to pop up, and they did, I enjoyed it for a while, but it stopped.

I'm sure a few handful of people play custume games everyday, but alas, I cannot find those people who are not so competitive.

So costume games was what Halo 3 a great game for ME, but now I ask, was what made Halo 3 great for YOU?

I have got the Halo 1 Pistol so you better run

Halo 3 had a better community than Halo Reach. Now party chat has ruined XBL imo. I could rant for hours.

Party Chat isn't that bad, but I agree, when party chat came out people started talking less to each other online and it limited making 'friends' since, well they don't talk to you, you don't talk to them.

And it also limited talking to your teammates in any type of game type where you would joke around, or even make plans.

Life goes on...

Halo 3 was a good game every way for me, but what i really liked also was the custom games.

My friends and I would still get together at nights to play some custom games such as Bombardment just for the fun of it.

On the other hand, i had way too much fun in the campaign, i would always offer to help random people in matchmaking if i overheard them talking about recon, is to help them get
Vidmaster Challenge: Annual or for anyone who wanted to get it.

It would always end up as me and a good partner to get Annual for some people, and also all the skull runs i did for people.

So everything in Halo 3 made it great for me. And i love just looking back at it when i'm playing a different game just "I wonder if anyone wants to play Halo 3 with me?"

Blah blah blah

It was a very social game, and fun to both dick around in and play competitively. It was a perfect balance, and the music is godlike.

Better community now the halo community is made up of 10 yr old reach lovers. Halo 3 was fun because all of my friends played it. It was a competitive game and competitive games seem to be dying as the years go on.

Exactly what you said. I remember playing games like fat kid, ghostbusters, etc. I would stay up until like 3 in the morning every night in the summer and play custom games with friends. Hit me up on xbl sometime and we can play customs. I'd even play some right now if others wanted to.

if you wanted "friends" on xbl you just jumped on halo 3 and started chattin around. But now everyone is in party chat 24/7

A game where you could just have fun or play serious and no matter witch one you where doing you was enjoying it.

God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore atheists do not exist.

guns don't kill people... abortion clinics do.

for me, it was a few things. the custom games rocked, no doubt. zombies was the best, way better than reach's crap. second, the warthog. Taking one out in h3 took teamwork and communication, but in Reach you just plink away til the driver dies. too easy. then, H3 was just so dynamic. I might just play with worthless people, but in Reach it's just one big rush. I'm gonna go play halo 3 now...

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I enjoyed the multiplayer of the game. Even though to this very day I still suck at Halo's multiplayer.
