He's mad that he's bad at it.

OT: My favorite Halo games: Halo 3, ODST, and Reach.

Fair play

Quake 3: Arena is the best game ever.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

"Best game ever" is pretty broad, if you ask me. Best arena shooter? Maybe. Halo 3 certainly isn't, say, the best RPG ever though, so I don't understand your question.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I wouldn't say that Halo 3 is the best game ever, but it's definitely one of the best out of all of the Halo games. I myself believe that Halo 2 is the best Halo game. As for Halo Reach and Halo 4, they don't come close to being as good as Halo 3 or the other games that make up the original Halo Trilogy.

Halo 3's checkpoint system is barely an improvement from Halo 2. Halo 3 brought back cps obtained from killing Hunters (Hunter kill checkpoints) as well as visiting spots for reoccurring cps (timed checkpoints), both of which were in CE. But the cps still last only 8 seconds (5 jumps delay) just like in Halo 2. Reach has the second best checkpoint system IMO, simply because there are many timed checkpoints.

But... that's my only main gripe with this game.

It has some of the best tactical jumps.
It has some of the insanest level skips.
It has some of the best friendly AI management (they actually stay by the Hog if you leave it's driver seat parked against a wall instead of running off on foot at enemy vehicles. You can use deployable covers to block them. You can control the assistance you receive from your invincible allies).
It has some of the best AI engagements (even on Easy).

It's an AI collector's paradise, only hindered by aforementioned checkpoint system and a few annoying implementations (enemies being killed off on the spot, a Pelican that indiscriminately bombards a bridge with rockets).

Doing Mythic is 99.9% test of skill compared to the other games where you're often presented with way too many enemies to engage so you have to memorize and avoid when possible. Many novel strategies were spawned in this age of gaming.

My grade: A

It has some of the best tactical jumps.

Definitely did and unfortunately they took too much skill. Most of the community is unaware of basic one's like the ghost jump near The Pit lift...people used to call that the Silent lift because in MLG you could sneak attack enemies without them hearing the lift. Also, Construct had purple lift to Top Mid which was useful to get rockets at start. IMO it had the most in any Halo game. One good thing is that some of the Halo 4 maps like Haven have jumps like side ramp to bottom open.

There are noobs that think Halo 2 had the most tactical jumps, but really every Halo 3 map had at least two or three that took skill and gave you major advantages over the enemy team.'

Also, getting on top of the Laser Overhead (green part) on High Ground was very useful and could be done without a grav lift if you ghostjumped at the correct location.

Why don't we just share the hill?

No it's not, but it's the best Halo game in my opinion.

I was also referring to the campaign ones.

Nak3d Eli has an awesome ZS run on Sierra 117 and History100 has probably the insanest Halo 3 Legendary runs. Both utilize jumps IIRC.

For me, nothing simply beats Halo 2.

Ehhh you ca find better on youtube than nak3dhalo Eli. He's overrated. There's better jumps/speedruns if you just do a simple search for which ever particular level you're looking for.

TBH Eli was way late to do Sierra 117. Everyone already knew how to time that Equipment jump since some randy discovered it back in 2007.

I see...

What about History100? Surely some of his runs have new stuff in them.
