Subject: We should calm down a bit.

Really, guys, we all should settle down a bit. Everyone's getting way too worked up about H3 so early. Now don't get me wrong, it is going to be AMAZING, and probably the best video game ever created, but it's also going to be a while before it's out, so try and hold back every fantasy you can think of for right now, seriously, H3 has only been known about for like a week and a half and everyone's already made up their own 10,000-character story plot of what they think is going to happen. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that; it's really creative, just calm down a little, we've got a whole year.

The funny thing is I bet when Halo 3 comes out, or when Bungie finally releases info on the game, everyone will watch that trailer again and see that they were looking waaay too in-depth into every single little detail.

On the other hand, it would be funny to see if some of these theories were actually correct. We all just have to wait and see...

Halo 3: Most anticipated video game ever.

Bungie said that this game will have the most in depth plot, so it won't be "oh it was that simple" it will delve into hummanity's dark secrets and why the covenant lock into it all.

And why the prophet Truth seemed so keen to see all his kind dead.

Halo3 campaign probably won't be that great.The only reason I played Halo2 was for the multiplayer.The reasons I think halo3 will not deliver.Master Chief has no personality, the story is very average, and campaign was pretty bland and boring.The Halo series is truly one of the most overated series of all time.

All your opinions. I don't see how you can call the success of Halo 2 not that great.

The GTA series actually has a good story.GTA3 was an amazing game because of its originality and thats why it sold well.It had an amazing and original feel to it.And why did you bring upi Tomb Raider thats a terrible series.

GTA SUCKS!!!!!

Worst game series devised.

Halo has sold far more than that -blam- pile and it hasn't influensed the kids of today to go around doing drugs, sex and drive-bys.

Wow.Actually I think the GTA series has sold more than the Halo series.Also, your a -blam!- idiot if a video game influences you to go do drugs and kill someone.Seriously, not many people see the actual amazing gameplay and story in the GTA games.It's sad that these types of games will always be stereotyped like that.Also, you probably hate GTA because its graphics aren't that great.

HALO is my anti drug, it keeps me off the streets

Truthfully I hated GTA 'cause they were way too "gangsta" for me. No seriously though, GTA just wasn't that great. As a matter of fact, it was pretty bad. I don't even care if the graphic would have been the best in the world. The games just were a complete and utter shame to the gaming world. Please tell me the "genius" behind these games?

I don't understand the argument here.

Halo and GTA are two completely different types of games. They can't be compared. They're both fantastic games that deserve the attention they've recieved.

That said, I'm getting sick of all the theories and such. It's a trailer, come on. When the books come out, mabye.


Personally, I see the Halo triliogy as somewhat like the LOTR or Star Wars (original) triglogies. The 2nd one is always the one that is the worst in most people's eyes.

You can say the samething about the GTA series.


You could, but it wouldn't be anything worth mentioning.
Four games into that series and the controls still suck.

What, no it didn't. It was a play off of every crime drama and mafia movie ever made. All they did was take cheif outta armor make him two feet shorter and the slowest runner with a shotgun ever and gave him free roam and "Fido" didn't have to much of a personality either, and we still don't know his story. I don't recall "GTA: The Fall of Fido" coming out to explain his life story...The GTA series relies on free-roam and open-endedness for kicks (and it works, I like going wherever). It doesn't even begin to scrape the story of games like Halo, Half Life, God of War, Prince of Persia, etc. etc.

I'll agree Halo is hyped, but you can't use the fact it is so popular as a means to downplay the grade of the game, not if you want to be taken seriously. It's like your trying to be a nonconformist, and like most nonconformist you have no concrete assertions in the least (for lack of any proof) that what you don't think is not good, is in fact, not good.

This isn't a flame though, I agree that certain aspects of the game are not as good as seen in others, but alternatively there are things way better than presented in other games.

If your complaining about no orginality...There is no such thing. We have 2,000+ years of history. Trust me it has all been done before, everyting is meerly a copy, of a copy, of a copy. The only thing that can be revolutionized upon is the way these same things are presented and which things are implimented and removed, and I personally think Halo did exemplary work. Deepper story than a lot of other games (and other media for that matter). I prefer story over most other aspects of games, and I can't say that GTA: III captured that in the least. How generic was it's plot "Become the top of the crim world."

GTA: VC "Become the top of Florida wannabes crime world in a cheap rip off of Scarface!"

GTA: SA "Become the top playa of California. Now with Minorities!"

Although, maybe such things are more appealing to you, because of its such "in depth" story and invigorating mission types "Drive, to dock, get plane, drop fliers" or "Get car, drive to building, kill guy". Yeah, I digress, GTA way kicks that ass of Halo...[/sarcasm]
