I dont think so. Halo 3 will be a great game. I just dont see the potential for anything revolutionary Halo 3 will bring to it's genre.. Mass Effect has the greatest graphics I have ever seen, and could be a revolutionary RPG.
No offense. I didnt see anything Revolutionary about Halo 2. It's Match making System was hardly a success. It created more problems than needed. You can say "look at how popular it is!". That does no prove anything. Halo 2 sold around 9 million. Only 50,000 or so play at any given time. It's not that incredible compared to Unreal tournament (pc), Counter Strike (pc), or Socom (Ps2) which have higher online ratios. You can say it is the most popular game on xbox live. This is not saying much, becuase most of the top games on xbox live were ports. (ROTW, GR, CS etc.). Do you really expect a port to dominate xbox live? Halo 2 is a great game, but it is hyped beyond it's glory when it comes to it's online greatness.
Nothing about Halo 2's online was revolutionary. Nothing about it's single player was revolutionary. Halo CE was revolutionary for the FPS genre, especially on consoles. If I had to pick 2 games which will probally be greater than halo 3, it would be Spore and Mass Effect.
