NOTE: PLEASE read the whole post before you vote, it might change your mind.
DOUBLE NOTE: This is not in anyway a Bungie/Halo2 bashing post. I admire both of them.
First let me start off by saying that while Halo 2 is one of the best games I've ever played, it wasn't THE best. Halo 2 was actually a dissapointment to me because it didn't live up to what I thought it would be. Please do not confuse my dissapointment with the game with me disliking it. I do not dislike Halo 2, I played it for a long time and I had a lot of fun.
So why was I dissapointed with it? Because I believe Bungie didn't make it as good as they could have by not taking the time they should have. We all know the countless things that had been scrapped from the game (just watch the E3 demo and you'll be scratching the surface) and could have made it so much better. Bungie basically threw Halo 2 together in TEN MONTHS. Does that sound like a good amount of time to take with something so important to you? I'm not blaming Bungie though, they made the game look so good that they had to get the game out soon or the community would get pissed.
Anyway, what I'm really trying to say is that Bungie actually showed potential with Halo 2. Halo 2 was awesome, and they made it in ten months. Imagine how good a game could be if Bungie REALLY took their time with it. That could be the case with Halo 3. I'm worried about Halo 3 because I'm worried that Bungie might make the same mistake as last time: make a game that, while is spectacular, is nowhere near what it could be. I'm also worried that because the reason Bungie might tend to rush something that shouldn't be rushed is because they think that their fan base is very impatient.
So, why don't we show what we think. Before you vote on the poll, don't think about how great Halo 2 was, but how great it could have been. Just imagine, think back to what you thought when you saw the E3 2003 trailer of the original New Mombasa demo. Think about what you REALLY expected from Halo 2. And think about what Bungie is capable of; they have proved themselves to be great time and time again.
So, if it took two extra years to fully perfect Halo 3, would you wait patiently? Or would you cause a protest outside Bungie Studios?
