this is no copy/paste these,are my views and my views only.
halo3 is microsoft big killer title for holiday 07, or is it.
with graphics gears has set the bar and for halo3 to surpass it will be one big challenge and i dont think it will,why apart from the aplha shots and some leaked images what has bungie shown us ?nothing.the el brute video can be termed mediocre at best and in graphics department it dosent hold a candle to gow.also both the trailers were CG (apart from the announcement one) ,why arent the ppl at bungie confident about their game or are they scared about the comparisions with gow.also for a game that is so much hyped up very little detail is being given away,only thing they are talking about is how great the multiplayer will be ,honestlywho cares ,all i want is a great single player game ,with enuff multiplayer to keep me busy once SP is over.give me some bloody gameplay details bungie not some details about a gun and its rate of fire.is this silence before the storm ,your guess is as good as mine

i agree.. MS is taking this multiplayer syndrome jus a tad over the top.. end of the day what makes a great game is its awesome SP campaign and replaying value.. althoug gears din have a long SP campaign. its replaying value is huge.

yup agreed KC. Although havent played Halo but same happened with halo2 too. The aniticipation was too much and finally when it came out it left people saying that SP was not impressive enough but it still sold friggin millions of copies. Halo 3 might be one of those games which might sink cos of its own weight. But lets not deny, when it comes to games on xbox, hype is also something that decides whether a game would be a hit or not.

hype can only get you that initial push but after that its totally the game.. if GOW had sucked i am sure it would have sold a mill copies but would have never touched 3mill

yes right just because it was a trendsetter for the gameplay... had it been a great story line then it would have become a legend.....and i honestly think Gears is far from beinga legendry game. Its just consoles' counter strike. I think thats what it is. Figgin everyone would play it for long hours without getting bored but people will still bow down to games like God of War. Which had so much impact. I still feel that SP campaign is the deciding factor for making a game memorable. Latetly the trend of having short SP modes just shows the short sightedness of the Devs and the way Msoft wants to make money using XBL....... Same happened with Halo2 SP. Was very average(as per the reviews) but the multiplayer was great... So the message is Pay 2500 and pay more to enjoy

Yeah, even i hate so much of stress on mp ! For ppl without xbox live, that part is just a waste, and to add to that, almost 500 AP are given for the MP part of a game nowadays ! But Gfx mite not be reason why a game like Halo3 mite suck, with below par gfx, its gameplay and storyline mite still rock ! Many games with inferior gfx and superior gameplay have made smash hits in the past(ex:GTA series). A And a franchise brand name does carry some weight as well....the best ex is madden nfl franchise - you see the game being blasted in every gaming forum as being repetitive, but still, every year, just by the addition of some new player name/jersey's, the game still sells millions of copies ! So, dont write it down yet guys, Halo 2 inspite of having a weak storyline, was the highest played game on xbox live, and the highest selling game on xbox !

its not about a long or short game the sp is ,its how fulfilling it is that matters, i dont want a case where masterchief kills the final boss and then a mysterious voice saying ITS NOT OVER YET.problem with halo2 was ,it was made in mind that it will have a sequel,fine ,but why such a cliffhanger??just because you want to hype up the 3rd part dosent mean ull give us a stupid 2nd. game stories can remain incomplete but still be fulfilling,ffx,mgs2,etc all have open endings but are very very satisfying once you complete it.
also one problem with both halo's was the level design ,honestly they sucked,anyone remembers the levels after library? its all backtraking ,even st the start the levels are repetitive like the alien spaceship corridors.from the halo3 screenshots it looks that even this game will be somewhat similar.
im not saying that the game wont sell ,it will and will sell tons.

Quite honestly, Bungie should avoid trying to top GOW and focus on making a good game rather than a "GOW killer". I've only played the first Halo (on the PC) and I think it was a fairly decent shooter. I found it a bit repetitive in some parts though but I still had fun playing it. I never played Halo 2 but I know about all the negative feedback it got for it's campaign mode. I will give it a try once it's released on the PC later this year. And yeah I'll be getting Halo 3 for the 360 of course... it might not be "GOW killer" which every Halo fanboy will want it to be but I'm sure it will be worth buying.

But one thing I would like to add is that there are better FPS than Halo, which unfortunately didnt get so much of success ! One was Farcry, which was successful but not as successful as halo. Acc to me, it was one of the best games overall and the best FPS I've ever played. The level design, graphics, AI everything was top notch ! The best part was the open islands adding tons of replayability and the mandatory stealth tactics to use to survive on the island. Fire a shot and all enemies run into cover, stay in cover for too long and someone is bound to come after you stealthily, make a ruffle of leaves and you have someone shooting the crap out of you....each time you play its a different experiece altogether/ Too bad that such a good game didnt see a Farcry 2 ! Thats one game whose sequel I miss ! P.S: Sorry if I went a bit offtopic in praising farcry !

FarCry was good. Definitely better than Halo. However I won't go as far as saying it's better than Half-Life 2 though. The open island levels were a lot of fun to play in. The AI was great and it actually felt rewarding to clear an area (or even avoid it) and move on to the next checkpoint. But then once you entered a building complex it quickly switched to a corridor crawl like Doom and you were fighting pinky demons instead of those smart mercs in the jungle. I really didn't like the indoor levels in FarCry the same as I didn't like those boring indoor levels in Halo (especially that never ending level where you have to follow that monitor thingy...).
And gtavint, the upcoming Crysis is almost like a sequel to FarCry (in spirit). It's from the same developer.

Listen to all of you . Halo 3 suck? No way. You havent ever play Halo OR Halo2? It got 9.6 on gamespot!!! Theyre so bloody good even after you finish the campaign the multiplayer is never monoautumus. They made a breakthrough in Online gaming before CS and UT. One of the main reasons i bought the 360 was for halo 3. Trust me guys ..Itll give Gears of War competetion !
