Subject: Halo 3 is my favorite halo game.

Thread was derailed by trolls. The original title hardly fit the thread's posted content.

Originally, I made this thread to show my disappointment with the recent news of Halo 4. I personally feel it will fall very short of Halo 3 and lose the unique feel of Halo Multiplayer.

Subject: Halo 3 > Halo 4

Yep

How do you know? 343 only released the first mission with some missions. I was impressed that they brought back the battle rifle. Plus they are new graphics and thecampain looks interesting. Even if it may not be as good as halo 3, it will definitely be better than halo reach.

Multiplayer will be just as bad as Halo reach. Campaign will probably be better. You're right though, it can't get much worse than Reach.

I'm just not feeling it with H4. I wish I had something positive to say about it, I really do, but so far 343 has done nothing to impress me or convince me to buy the game. I'm not going to buy a game "just because it's Halo" any more than I would buy a sub-par shooter from another series. Still, I'll wait until I see something more concrete before making a decision, since it's still far off from release.

Also, Armor Abilities were confirmed, including Jetpack, Hologram, and Camo. I hate this game.

Oh right I almost forgot. A GI magazine that comes out next month, with unconfirmed "leaked content".

You need to play the beta, see some more trailers, THEN form a decent opinion.

Believe me, I'd love to play the beta.....the beta that's not going to happen, that is. They already announced that they have no intention of releasing a beta. I agree that some more trailers would be nice, though.

It's on Halo4info.com, but my browser won't load it at the moment....just check it out there, it will show their announcement. Sorry, I hate my internet.

Halo 4 seems to be more and more like CoD so halo 3 is defiantly better. At least for right now, my mind might change once I have played the game.

Well, since you've apparently been living under a rock your entire life I'm going to get you up to speed. 1) They confirmed there will not be a beta over a month ago 2) GI has always put there issues one month in advance so the May issue comes out in early April 3) There have been full scans of the full article in high quality with nothing whited out 4) The leaked content has all been confirmed by 343i

Please leave trolls. No one is interested in your biased opinions. I know you all started with Halo 2 and your nostalgia is blinding your vision because Halo 3 is far superior. Leave now.

*stops pretending to know evilcam*

There won't ever be a game as good as Halo 3. That doesn't mean that it will be bad. I think you shouldn't overreact, there hasn't even been a trailer.

Stating an opinion =/= trolling. Halo 2 was just more fun to me.

  • 04.09.2012 6:26 PM PDT

Do I really need a signature?

Your opinion was formed off of a couple trailors and unconfirmed information. You should wait a little longer. Give the new guys somewhat of a chance please. Also you have only played four games online of Halo 3, how could you possibly even have an opinion about Halo 3 in the first place?

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

It looks a lot like 343 got rid of everything that made Halo unique and itself, and they're just trying to make a CoD with a a twist now.

Classes
Unlockable weapons
Unlockable Ops Missions
Random weapon spawns
Perks/AAs'

Even the little things. They're just trying to make it like CoD in every way possible. Press X to respawn. Next we'll have a -blam!- killcam. *sighs*

Oh wow, you're the funniest person I've seen on here in a long time!

Let's break your post down.
Please leave trolls. No one is interested in your biased opinions.

One doesn't become a troll for having an opinion, you know? Just because you disagree or believe something else, that doesn't make anyone else lesser here.

I know you all started with Halo 2 and your nostalgia is blinding your vision because Halo 3 is far superior.

1) You don't know anything, your presumptuousness results in nothing short of total idocy.

2) Pfft! I think you need to recheck what 'biased' means, since you're dictating which is best based off nothing but your own one-sided opinion. Gee, where have I heard this before...?

Please leave trolls. No one is interested in your biased opinions.

Oh yeah! Right back at you, mate. :)

Halo 3 is far superior

Purely subjective. In my view, Halo 2's campaign boasted the deepest and most character-driven story in the series, next to ODST. The perspective of Thel enabled Bungie to give the Covenant a 'voice' and establish that they're not just aliens we're supposed to shoot, we're shown from the beginning that humanity is united against this single threat but the Covenant is internally divided which sets their goal up for failure.

Foreshadowing and narrative devices aren't present in Halo 3, there's no sense of competent structure either - unlike ODST which is based heavily off the classic epic poem Inferno from Dante's Divine Comedy. This kind of reference to classical literature and its influence on the characters and plot gives a great deal of depth to the game, doing an Oscar Wilde and improving an established concept.

Another thing is the resolution of plot. In each Halo game the story has reached a conclusion:
- Halo CE: Halo is destroyed, a Covenant armada obliterated and the Flood seemingly vanquished. Due to Bungie not knowing if they're going to make Halo 2, John and Cortana's fate is left ambiguous.

(Halo 2 doesn't count since it's the middle-act and bridge to Halo 3.)

- ODST: Having gone through the '9 Circles of Hell', Sadie, the Rookie and the squad escape the Covenant-occupied city. They've got Vergil and Buck is reunited with Dare. Stage is set for Halo 3.

- Halo Wars: The Spirit of Fire's crew destroys the Covenant, the Shield World and Forerunner armada at the Apex. However, they're stranded in space without an FTL reactor - mirroring the end of Halo CE.

- Reach: As much as I detested this game's story, it reached a full and satisfying conclusion. Everyone died (sans Jun, who remains in canonical limbo), the planet died, but Keyes escaped and the story linked to the start of Halo CE.

And now, Halo 3. The game where you apparently "finish the fight". Yes, the Human-Covenant war is over, but:
1) There are still 6 Halos primed and ready to fire.

2) The Flood is still out there.

3) The Gravemind states that the destruction of Halo will not be the end of him, it will only delay his return.

4) Mendicant Bias tells John he's sending him to the Forerunners as proof of his atonement.

5) Insurrectionists still an active force.

These are major plot points, Bungie made the Bioware mistake of introducing new things to the fiction at the conclusion of the game. Many are saying that Halo 3 is where the story ended, I'm sorry but no it isn't. Bungie left their final game so open a new trilogy was inevitable in order to plug these holes shut.

Anyways, back to the point. Halo 3's story doesn't do what it was supposed to - "finish the fight". It delays the fight, leaving a much larger conflict at hand. Matched with all the other problems with this game's story it's nowhere near as good as Halo 2 from a logical standpoint.

Goodbye Bungie.

Any information that you received might be unreliable. I've heard of this 'leaked' G.I. information, and I have even looked into it a lot. However, nothing is confirmed, we have not seen more than 2 minutes of gameplay, and we are not even sure what guns are in it yet. Please do not make such biased opinions, educate yourself, then leave a firm statement on what you believe. Because doing what you are doing is simply idiotic.

  • 04.10.2012 9:27 AM PDT

Goodbye Bungie.

Wait, I just got my game informer with the epic Halo 4 cover. It just came in 2 seconds ago in the mail. And well... this 'leaked' info is correct.. since its in the ACTUAL GI release. Still, it's not enough for us to criticize Halo 4 to such a high extent. I apolagize, since you based your opinion on real info, I have to have open-ears and listen to your opinions...

btw the new DMR... that thing looks... cliche(if that's the appropriate word to use...).
