Subject: do you think halo 3 betrayed us?

Halo 2 for Life!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_z1TiLrcQU

I think it did just like the video above. It was such a down grade from halo 2 I cant even believe they released halo 3 it was that bad.

Not only did they make it extremely slow, it removed clans, it didn't allow for team building because of party chat (restricted conversations and in game regulations like booting and banning (teams form to avoid members that have bad behaviour. Maps were boring and hard to explore, no speed for control dynamic, no vision vs. cover dynamic, I found the whole game very weak.

For me it was the biggest let down and didn't deserve to be called halo + it's counter part reach is just as garbage to me as well.

Personally I think Halo: Reach was more a letdown. Halo 3 has some great, balanced multiplayer in my opinion and introduced Forge and Theater. I don't know that it was THAT much of a failure, although I would agree that Halo 2 is better. It makes me mad that Bungie thought Halo 2 was a failure and that Reach was amazing when they said that in their one hour ViDoc.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

No, Bungie betrayed us with Reach.

this times two, to the OP: halo 3 was not a let down at all, i've played 11,000 games of it and i find it very fun, the lack of exploration was a necessary component to make the game run smooth and to be fair to other players. the maps are not at all boring, the pit was one of the best symmetric maps in halo 3 and is a great map with great competition and teamwork. valhalla is another good map to play with a good team...

smoother?

I think halo 2 flowed the best of all games, an extremely smooth game is halo 2, halo 3 is slow, weak, dry, and flows clunkely.

I'm unable to pretend as well as you obviously.... h3 maps were not inspiring for fun at all to me what so ever.

How could Bungie say with a straight face that Reach was better than Halo 2? -__-

I have every achievement for Halo 3 and Halo: Reach!

Hey OP, if you don't like Halo 3, then don't play it! No need to rage on a forum about how much you hate Halo 3, no one is forcing you to play it

Luckily, it's my favorite game which resulted in me buying them all, no matter the costs. I supported Bungie at this time and these maps have given me many more years of fun.

I was astounded by that!

Watching the ViDoc and seeing them -blam!- and moan about how much they detested Halo 2, you'd have thought that they'd have come out about the cluster-blam!- that was Reach. I found the ViDoc pretty lackluster, they had it good for the first 15 minutes talking about Myth, Marathon, ONI and Halo CE... then it just went downhill.

Halo 2 was the best game of all time. Halo 3 wasn't as good but it was in no way a let down.

I definitely believe every wildly inflated claim ITT.

Weow kid, do you even lift?


Skype: au-simon

I have played every Halo game since release and I can easily say that all round, Halo 3 was the best for me.

CE's campaign was amazing.
Halo 2s gameplay was amazing.
Halo 3s multiplayer was dynamite.

Reach was a huge failure. It was the worst game I've ever played on Xbox 360. I'd rather play Viva Pinata than play Reach, honestly.

Halo 3 introduced Theater, Forge, playlist EXP, better netcode and more. While Halo 2 was far more competitive by default (apart from SMG starts lol), Halo 3's MLG playlist was pretty much perfect. If the BR spread was a little tighter, it'd be a 10/10 game (when played in MLG). Equipment was an annoying introduction, but that's playable, and actually interesting.

I don't mind Equipment in MM at all, to be honest. I mean, a bubble shield on Heretic is a bit annoying, but it's easy to adapt to equipment. It's not like everyone spawns with equipment and can use it whenever they like in a game!

For ME:

Campaign: Halo CE > Halo 2 > Reach > Halo 3.
Multiplayer: Halo 3 > Halo 2 > Halo CE (only because CE didn't have online capabilities).

Nah you have it all wrong,

Campaign - ODST > Halo 3 > Halo CE > Reach > Halo 2
Multiplayer - ODST > Reach > Halo CE > Marathon > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Halo 2 should be at or near the top of that list for campaign and in the middle for multiplayer. I agree with ODST's campaign actually being pretty awesome, but when you say that it had the best multiplayer, do you mean the second Halo 3 disk Which makes the "Halo 3" group useless)?
