Honestly, when I play single player, I feel like I’m just wasting my time – I should be doing stuff in real life, going out with friends, partying, playing sports. I’d rather watch a movie of the video game (I watch gameplay walkthroughs of a lot of fps games on youtube for fun). If I want to play, I’d play a fun Mario style or RPG game, or better yet, a multiplayer FPS or RPG, e.g. Halo. I’ve had plenty of memorable experiences with multiplayer games, very few with single player, unless I’m playing co-op or with some other people. Gaming for me is more of a social activity than an exercise.

And Halo is not MY game … it is just a game I like and feel that people are not giving valid and honest reasons as to why it is not a great game … other than just saying it didn’t work for them for any number of reasons but saying the story is weak … well I just can’t see that at all. Though I will admit where Halo 2 is concerned and even the devs said that forcing the player to play half the game as the Arbiter was not a good decision.

As far as Halo 4 I can’t see that happening … but I do see not only Halo Wars of course but also that project that Peter Jackson is working on and I am sure there will be some other games about the Spartans and the war and what happened to some of the other Spartans. As great as Master Chief is there is problem some legendary Spartan from the old days and they could tell his saga. They may even go way into the future and show glimpses of a new breed of Spartans a ferocious and savage new threat to the galaxy that makes the flood and the covenant look like pre-schoolers. There are just so many directions that Microsoft and Bungie can take this … that is what is so exciting about all of this … the surprises that will emerge.

Counter-strike/RB6/Battlefield

You can only take up to 1-2 (headshot) 1-3 body without armor and 1-5 with armor.

Halo, I see way to many people just keep running while im wasting them. Maybe, I put my opinion in to fast. But my 360 broke, I need to buy another drive and fix it. Gay, I know. Only 2 days and the disc tray burnt out.

I guess im more of a real to life shooter. I get really bent out of shape when people take 4 hits in CSS. I was actually good in halo 3, for a noob I ranked up to level 4 in 1 hr of playing. I guess, running around in a circle isnt my cup of team. I’m more of a strat/flash/kill type of gamer.

And for the story, I never said it was to easy. It was more of the story itself was weak. Halo 1 was well written, was badass, many things. Halo 2, 1st level rocked, then earth was okay, then the halo ring was kinda boring. After i was that alien dude, I ran around with other brutes and Im like F this.

Halo 3, It actually was fun. But, the ending was bad. I’m sure halo 4 will be coming out soon. They left the ending wide open.

also, “… skulls together then I don’t “KNOW” what to tell …”

If you play the game on Legendary mode you will have an entirely different experience and you won’t be able to take lots of shots and just run through them. It will be more like playing Gears on Insane. One sniper shot will kill you instantly for example. And I don’t know what you mean by starting with weak weapons. The magnum is back and is perfect for taking out grunts … plus meleeing is always effective if you have the guts and skills … and the AR takes down the Brutes and you have plenty of that ammo to start out with. Then you have access to those new Brute Stinger guns which are downright awesome … especially when you dual wield them.

No one said that Halo 3 was going to bring anything to the table other than a really great experience and fun time and if you think that it is isn’t a ton of fun to get three of your friends together online to run through the legendary setting of the campaign and find all the skulls together then I don’t what to tell you but this is just not the game for you. Seems to me you would do better off with RPG games and RTS games … or maybe you just expected something that Bungie had never said they were going to deliver. But as I said it is your opinion and you have every right to it … but the vast majority of us do not share your perspective.

Halo,Half life,Doom,Crysis. IMO these always suck online. They’re meant to be a single player FPS. Look at Half life 2, you start with a SMG, people take massive amounts of damage.

Battlefield
Counter-strike/other mods

crap like that are really better for the online part. They were made for the online side of it, rather then a single player. Now the games I listed are amazing single player games, but the guy is right. Halo 3 brought nothing new to the table, crysis changed the world of gaming. Just like DOOM/DOOM3/Half life/Half life2.

It really makes me upset when a dev of a competing product takes a shot when these are two different types of FPS games altogether and besides like I said his game is not even out yet. If it doesn’t have great sales figures or doesn’t get great reviews it will look like he is just envious of Halo 3’s success. People in positions like his really need to be careful of what they say. Add to that that I don’t agree with him about any shooters on any platform being five years ahead of another. That is pretty crazy to say. Even Epic didn’t make such stupid comments. Notice he didn’t say anything about their main competition coming on the PC … UT3 and Gears. Nope they had to take a shot at Halo 3 and other console games and what is funny is that a version of Crysis is going to be on consoles as well.
