Halo 3 was brilliant, but the campaign really let it down.
True but that's compensated by how most levels have a lot of things to offer. The Covenant is a goldmine in this area:

-glitches
-easter eggs
-AI collections
-trick jumps (the Covie comm node in the first tower, the method to get into the room above in the third tower)
-speedrunning strategies
-fun strategies in first and third tower (lots of choice might I add)

This is a level for speedrunners and methodical people like myself!

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

I disagree, the Xbox 360 has dozens of titles that could be called number one

It holds the most memories for me sure but whether or not its the best game is a completely different story. Back when it was Cod 4 vs Halo 3 I thought Halo 3 was best. Now with all the other games I reckon BF3 is as good as Halo 3. And then there's Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout which are also ridiculously good games.

But tbh if I had to choose it would always be Halo Reach as the best game ever invented. Ever.

There are few games that rival it for the most fun online. I'm struggling to think of anything I've played on any platform where I had as much fun as I had in halo 3.

By fun I meant that it is customisable, enjoyable with friends coming over to your house and playing split-screen, competitive games against good players, and balance.

There isn't much to complain about with halo 3 apart from the campaign; but on that point TF2 and CS:S don't have any campaigns and they are both great games as well.

I would agree to a degree. It is one of the best, thats for sure.

Oh, absolutely. The Covenant is my favourite level in Halo 3, it's the one mission in the game I consider to be perfect.

Halo 3 was fun for my first 360 game, but now Gears of War is more fun to me.

  • 01.19.2012 8:19 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I don't think it is fair to say that. The campaign okay and the multiplayer was good for a while. That certainly does not gain anyone best game.

I run Skirmish!!!

Halo 3 is good and still stands out above the rest for a few reasons:

the party system: I can't think of very many games, if any, that allow 8 friends to search together in a playlist without a chance of being separated like in big team, or in social slayer with 5 people. I love BF3, but its really hard to get more than 3 people on the same team in a good lobby.

Fairness and balance: If your new to the game, you do not need to rank up in order to use good weapons or upgrade them like COD or BF3, all the weapons are already there on each map.

Campaign Co-op: What other game allows 4 people to play online co-op of the entire campaign? none other than halo 3 and reach

with that being said, i still enjoy playing Fallout 3 and new vegas and im a big fan of BF3, but I will always still play halo 3 because it's an amazing game

Lmfao halo reach. It definitely was the best joke ever made.

Simply put halo 3 has always been the most competitive game I have ever played which is why I liked it. Considering I can go +20 like 5 games in a row in any call of dookie game it gets really boring where as halo 3 has always been competitive that is why it is the best game ever. There are definitely really fun games out there but eventually they get old, halo 3 doesn't get old. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that most people who don't think halo 3 is the best game ever as far as multiplayer goes probably couldn't get a 50 so they acted like they didn't care and said the game wasn't that good. BTW I am very competitive, I like beating you and sending you the clip lol. But at least make it a challenge.

Thats debatable. There are many other games that deserve that title.

Yep

@SheGottaHaveIT

That's gonna be when halo 4 releases.

OP
Halo 3 is the best 360 of all time.
How can people say CoD is better than Halo?
1. It takes NO skill, like every gun is one shot kill.
2. The maps are -blam!-e with ridiculous respawns.
3. It is full of small whining, raging children.
4. The campaigns are terrible!, no one even plays them!

My social generals say otherwise.

  • 02.09.2012 10:28 AM PDT

I must personally agree with OP. The community Halo 3 forged and all the friends I made playing, wins me over easy. Who cares that COD is unbalanced, has bad maps etc etc. Who cares that Halo had 'bad' graphics, and that you couldn't aim down the site. Who gives a damn about all the technical aspects, when the amount of fun one has playing the game should be most important.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to how much fun I had. I barely play games now, but when I look back at it, damn I wish I could go back and do it all again. Halo being such a big part of my gaming experience even makes me visit this forum once in a while, and I haven't even thought of the game in months. There are just some things you can't let go of. Halo will always be one those games.
