I don't know if I missed the announcement, but it seems as though the campaign is already completed, or Bungie is doing multiplayer first. My reason for asking/saying this is because as I read the weekly updates, and other clues, all they talk about is playing multiplayer. I know that about 70% of the people on here don't really care as much about campaign as you do multiplayer, and about 40% of that 70% won't even beat the campaign, or at least on a high difficulty level.
Don't flame me and say something stupid like, "Wtf are you talking about, I beat the campaign of Halo 1 & 2 on all difficulty levels, what makes you think I won't on Halo 3?" This would be completely retarded, because I said 70%, and you could be one of the 30% who does beat the campaign on Heroic or Legendary.

Thanks to all,

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

Bungie isn't done with campaign yet. MP is easier to work on since there's no cutscenes or storyline, so their starting on that first.

That is a good rationalization, however, I am sure they still have some things left to do. Minor tweaks at least.

Hey Clay. Yeah, I agree, Mp is easier, think about all the Easter Eggs and skulls they're gonna have to put in campaign :), it's gonna take forever, so they just decided to do MP first!

I'm sure Easter eggs and such aren't the main focus of Bungie's work on the single player campaign, nor are they the hardest to add to it.

I'm just saying, Campaign is gonna take a while, since Halo2 camapign sucked, they have a lot to do to make people happy about it.

Personally i love the campagin part. I play it as much as i do live.

Bungie proberly has different teams working on different levels from the campaign as well as guys working on the multiplayer maps too. They would have less to do on them so they would be futher along if they did it this way.

Anyways there is really no way to tell just how far along bungie is. i think it is best not to try and figure it out.

Halo 2's campaign definately did not suck. You just set your standards too high.

If you've ever played some games that actually do suck, you'd know that Halo 2 definately does not.

It makes sense to do multiplayer first. After all, they'll hear tons of whining about weapons balance in multiplayer, because you're playing against humans. No one cares nearly as much about it in campaign. So they're finding a good weapons balance first, then they'll make campaign. If they made campaign first, they might need to make an update like they did for Halo 2. Waste of money. Waste of resorces.

Come on guys. Just b/c they are only talking about MP doesn't mean they are doing it first, or finished the campaign. They are only talking about MP, simply b/c they won't tell us anything about the plot or campaign until the game is out. They did the same thing with halo 2, and they will do the same with halo 3. They are working on both at the same time, they have several different teams working on MP and the campaign. Oh and don't even get me started on your statistics on how many ppl actually complete the game.

I agree with t00fat why in the hell would they work on multiplayer alone and not work on campaign at all. (and vice versa) they are working equally on both so that they are not rushed and therefore end up sucking. They are jsut talking about multiplayer alot because multiplayer is just killing each other....not much to give away there. Campaign is what makes Halo, Halo. Just all the content they put in it is jsut awesome. And whoever said halo 2's campaign sucked is only a partially correct. It was good, but not as good as Halo 1. (in my oppinion) and there is no convincing me otherwise. ANYWAYS, a litte off subject, t00fat is right, they are working on both.

Dude all Halo 2 was multiplayer.The Campaign sucked the campaign levels were repetive and the weapons were so bad I had to puke altough the brute shot was awesome but why did they get rid of the higher ammo count to so low that if you fire one time your out of ammo?

I like Halo.

I don't think it would be a very smart thing to work on just ONE aspect of the game at one time. I mean, the multiplayer is probably being designed to correlate with the game, just like Halo 2 was developed. I doubt they'll go finish the multiplayer, compile it, seal it in a bag, then put it in a vault, then start working on the campaign. Come on guys, THINK just a little about what would be the best way to developed a good game, and then just cross your fingers and hope they're doing it the best way possible. Judging by their last two games, I'd say they're probably doing a good job.

Nice avatar japanese flag.But OFCOUSE THEY DON"T WORK ON ONE THING AT A TIME IT WOULD BE RETARTED.they work on it at the same time in different areas so if they need to change something they can right away instead of having to pull out a bunch of finished files and junk
