Heck, I don't like Halo 3 or any other Halo title.

But the fact that it's so incredibly robust, and probably one of the best multiplayer shooters out there, if not the best one. Sure, it's not exactly the most creative shooter out there, but it's a quality project with mainstream appeal.

put your personal bias against it aside, and look at the game's features and gameplay mechanics, and look at how it's all executed. I honestly don't see how you can call a title like Halo 3 mediocore...
but whatever.

BTW

No Timesplitters ,Perfect dark or Goldeneye on that list?

fail.

I didn't write it.  :\  It was on Extremetech.com

And you can't say its the best multiplayer shooter when games like Team Fortress 2 exist.

Half-Life 2 = Best Single Player
Team Fortress 2 = Best Multiplayer.

So what does that leave Halo with?

Best overall game.

Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 are basically the same game.  :\

They're both made by Valve, and run on the Source Engine.  They're just sold seperate  >_>

But Half Life 2: Episode 2 comes with Team Fortress 2.

And they got look completely different, have different names, characters, enemies, and weapons.

Isn't it nice to have a wide variety of weapons?
I don't know about you, but Halo's weapons are bland, and boring.

fail.

That is because them games are console shooters, and thus, PC gamers hate them because they don't have mouse and keyboard control, and mouse and keyboard control makes all PC shooters>>>all console FPS[/Sarcasm}

Theres a thing for the 360 called XFPS, it lets you use a Mouse and keyboard for the 360.

Believe it or not, Halo 3 has more effects then Crysis.

Pre-Rendered.  Fail.

Nothing compares to Crysis.  Nothing!

Yeah, because no one likes a laser, two types of grenades that sticks too people, rocket launchers, Dual SMGs, Battle rifles, Assualt rifles, transparent swords, and guns that shoot exploding pink needles.

Do graphics matter that much to you?
If you were being serious, than I am amused.

Those are in-game screenshots taken with the Halo 3 video recorder.

They were taken by normal people who have a 360 and Halo 3.

You can go to http://www.bungie.net/Online/CommunityFiles.aspx?filter=screenshots to see more pictures that were made by normal people who didn't use anything more then a 360 and Halo 3.

Their using the QCB armor, one of the two armors you get at the start of the game. (Multiplayer only)

I c, very nice. SPI armor sux :P did they give it energy sheilds in this game or does it still have just cloke?

Pre-rendered my size 24 hoof!

If you actually did some research, you would find these are screens taken in game, with a replay viewer that allows you to view any part of the game world, any part of the match, thus, Bungie was forced to render ALL of that for the feature to work as awesome as it does.




By the way, isn't the armor in those pictures CQC armor? :P

Good. in the book they only have cloke, but i guess this is just a little farther into the future

[Subach]

Or it could be that the SPI has overshields to make things balanced and whatnot.

It wouldn't be exactly fair to people who like the look of the SPI be penalized for their preferences.
(Then again, the SPI is mighty stealthy...)
Also, this wouldn't have to be justified by any kind of explanation, as multiplayer is separate from the Halo storyline.
