not impressed with Halo 3.........

[redsamurai]

H.alo 2.5 is more like it............they "barely" spruced up the graphics. Weapons were nothing to write home about......except ripping off the turrets, those things thumped. But otherwise, I was very underwhelmed. In the past the cinematics were seamless and really did enhance the game.........in this one, they just confused you. And it had possibly the most irritating level of all time in a video game, worse than the last level of Half life 1.

I would be very interested to see what this game "really" cost..........they didn't do any engine redesigns, and every room you walked into looked like a rehashed and primped up version of something from 1 or 2. It's like they let a few college kids have fun with a level editor, nothing bad mind you..........but this was not what I was expecting to finish up the series. This is not the Ps3 killer they were hoping for. I really wonder how much of the 360's power this game is really tapping................?

MGS 4 will blow it out of the water; Kojima's games always have so much attention to detail. Killzone 2 might even have it beat. Halo 3 was fun for the few hours I played it but yeah it is probably the most overrated game of all time (just look at sales.....$300 million or something already) for what it is.
I read a MS exec quote as saying Sony doesn't have an answer for Halo 3. Perhaps they're right if you look at sales for the time being, but as far as an actual game is concerned.....hell they're better at hyping a game than actually making one.

I haven't liked an MGS game since number 2 on the original playstation.........so I'm not about to go out and buy a pos3 based on a line of games that hasn't even given me a halfie for 10 years. What Halo will do for the 360 is in the multiplayer.............online multiplayer. That's where the company is headed.......they're taking more and more multiplayer games online without retaining the ability to play splitscreen on the same tv. Yeah, Halo is still splitscreen.........but virtually every game coming out now is strictly for online or only splits into two. But fans would have stormed bungie hq if they didn't make halo 3 split 4 way. But anyway, I'm out of this round of game consoles..........they completely disinterest me, glad I didn't buy any of them cause they'd just be sittin there. I may have to check out the new Half life though.........HL2 is still the best single player experience of all time for me.

I'm also waiting for GTA 4. Just from the screen shots the game looks sick plus it sounds like they took out all of the annoying crap from San Andreas.
