I think I speak for all of the Halo series' true fans when I say, "Bungie, take your time!" We all know what happened with Halo 2. It's an excellent game, I'm not even going there... but what Bungie planned for it? I don't care about ATVs, I'm talking an enourmous campaign, several types of Warthogs, the LE DVD says it all. They cut out several maps etc.

Whether it was Microsoft's fault or Bungie's fault or the fans' fault, I don't care, I want Bungie to take the absolute longest amount of time they can. I wouldn't care if Halo 3 wasn't released until 2009, as long as it does it's job as the NextGen conclusion to a phenomal and legendary gaming series, rather than "Microsoft's NextGen main weapon."

Obviously, part of me wants to just say Halo 3, come out now! The other part wants me to not urge the game so Bungie can do what they do best - work without deadlines. I don't care if they slack off... they made the Halo series. They did it, not us, we shouldn't be giving them deadlines. I was pretty unimpressed when I saw the 2007 release. I was hoping at least 2008, it would give them enough time to test the multiplayer for things like superbounces... or a new wave of glitches... network bridgers, standbyers... modders even. If it were released a few years later than what the majority of us are expecting; we could have easily 20 multiplayer maps (with no doubt more to download), an enourmous graphical improvement from even the Halo 3 trailer that Bungie released, and more features.

The bottom line, is that I want Halo 3 or be the conclusion of a record-breaking, legendary videogame series, not Microsoft's NextGen moneymaker.

Man, you really are the ultimate geek. In halo 1, I got a bit sick of using the same weapons over and over again and the repetetive and predictable behavior of the Elites kind of got old after a while. In Halo 2, the abundance of different types of weapons and the more chaotic and insane battles were a big plus for me. When was Halo 3 supposed to come out anyway?

Thank you martydom, i agree completely. 2009 seems good but as far as the game is now i'd wanna see late 07- early 08 for a release date.

No he didn't. At least, I didn't see it saying that.

I think people who say the campaign of Halo 2 sucked are simply to stupid and numbminded to really understand what's happening. It's quite simple really .


Yeah, but it was too short. That was most people's complaint about it.

Lol, I want them to hurry. I ship off to the military academy next summer and assuming it will be a fall 2007 release (of course it is, Christmas sells better), I wont be able to play it seeing as how we don't get anything for entertainment up there :( too strict lol so that means I will have to wait 4 years to play Halo 3 *Cries*
