I'd like to know if anyone is going to be renting Halo 3 before / if they buy it. Run through the campaign, make sure it doesn't suck. Play some multiplayer, check for telltale signs of glitches, auto-aim, that sort of thing. I know there won't be cheating just after the release; the modders will have to wait a while on that one, lol. But I am going to be renting it, to be sure I'm not wasting $60 (likely price) on a huge failure.

Are you doubting of the success of Halo 3? Man this game is made by Bungie and they will have taken twice the time they took to make Halo 2. Plus it's on Xbox 360 so they don't have the limitations they had when they made Halo 2. Even if people think that Halo 3 is worse than the 2 others it will still be the best selling game on Xbox 360. A lot of people prefered Halo 1 gameplay, but Halo 2 sold more.

You'll be able to tell if Halo 3 is a failure before it comes out, and believe me, from what I've seen so far, it's not a failure. Halo 2 didn't have more glitch than any other game, it's just that a zillion people tried to find them. I don't care if Halo 3 has glitches like superjump, it will still be the best game on Xbox 360. Nothing is perfect, but it will be damn close.

Because all Halo fans buyed it at launch. There's not a lot of people who are neutral face to Halo. You love it or you don't. You buy it or you don't.

Probably rent; we have no idea what it will be like yet. They could make you play almost the entire campaign as the arbiter, for example. It might have a boss at the end of every level. We just don't know.

I'd buy it anyway. If the campaign is worse than in Halo 2, at least i'd buy it for multiplayer.

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

Games can't be rented until a few weeks after the release. Like 5

I like the replies I see in here, but no matter how much Bungie pretties up their trailers, and whatnot, I will for sure be renting it first. I will probably have to end up buying it ayway even if it sucks, because all my friends will playing that, while I play a better game, like the new Splinter Cell, or Too Human, or somthing.

It doesn't really matter to me, you'll just be spending extra money on a game you would end up buying anyway. Personally I'm buying. In fact, I've already pre-ordered mine :-)

Who would ever need to rent _HALO 3_ (surrounded by underscores for emphasis) before they buy it? There is no way it's going to suck, did Halo 1 suck? No. Did Halo 2 suck? No. All Bungie has to do is make it a threepeat (it's a real word, not sure on spelling though) and from what I've seen, they are doing just that.

Think I'll just wait to hear what others have to say about it first. Within 24 hours people were talking about the flaws of Halo 2. Flaws that still ring true today. One thing that will be a deal breaker for me is if they have no server browser. Custom games are a pain to set up. If they only have this same matchmaking system and custom games, I won't buy it.
