  Highly awaited Game-Will Not Disappoint
Review created: 07/18/06

As most people say, Halo is what makes XBOX Popular. I disagree with this statement, but thats a whole different topic. Halo 3 is the most anticipated game for the XBOX 360. Many people held off to get an XBOX 360 until this November to get their hands on a copy of Halo 3. With this in mind, there is HUGE pressure on these authors, game designers, game engineers, managers, and Microsoft. With all this pressure on them to build not just a good game but a 'Freakingly Amazing FPS Game that will blow your socks off game of the year' these individuals are going to make the best freaking game you've ever played. Plus it has the Halo name on it too, so you know somewhat to expect, but there are going to be many additional features that is going to be put into this game.

Lets remember back to before Halo 2 was going to be released, this game was one of the best selling games to date. On its launch it sold MILLIONS of copies. Thats how big the anticipation was, and the only real difference between Halo 1 and Halo 2 is: new guns, new levels, new campaign, and XBOX Live. Thats 4 things, thats nothing. When making Halo 2 they knew that they would be making not just Halo 2, but they could forsee the launch of Halo 3 too. With this in mind, they didn't go overboard on making Halo 2, they only added in the necessary features to make Halo 2 a success, and have customers coming back to buy Halo 3, three years later.

Halo 2 was mainly used to get XBOX Live really going smoothly. Honestly, how many people actually played XBOX on the internet before Halo 2 came out? Not many people, there are tons more people playing xbox live now and thats soley because of Halo 2.

Additionally since Halo 3 is going to be the final chapter in the Halo trilligy its going to finish strong, and its going to finish on a great note. I guarantee that this game will be the Game of the Year, and people will be playing this game long after the life of the XBOX 360.


Only people who have never experienced the action of Halo say this guide is not helpful.

  Halo 3 - The game every XBOX 360 owner should have
Review created: 09/26/07

Graphics: Breathtaking 9.5/10
The graphics great. The rumors of an upgraded Halo 2, or Halo 2 like graphics is not true. With smooth framerates and stunning effects, you will be taken aback. Take some time to watch the backgrounds and environments and the detail of that went into these levels. This is after you clear everything that moves.

Sound: Amazing – 10/10
The sounds, music, effects, and voices take you immediately into the game. Surround sound is a must so you can hear the shots, shouts, and footsteps of the your opponents in this game. The score for this game heightens you senses, and truly brings you into the game.

Gameplay: Spectacular – 9/10
Smooth animations, large levels, smart enemies and A.I., big battles, and 4-player co-op = awesome. Without giving anything away, this is some great storytelling that gives way to some genuine wow moments.

Replay Value – Amazing 10/10
Multiplayer. That is all I have to say. This game has high replay value. Choose which way you would like to play online, but with the achievements, future downloadable content, 4-player co-op, and with over 1 million copies pre-ordered, and 4 million copies on retailers shelves in the first week, there will always be someone to play with.

Overall – Perfect 9.5/10
I am a fan of First-Person-Shooters (FPS) and all that is associated with them. I enjoy the emersion, and critique them heavily. This game allows you to “finish the fight”, but this game is so much more. The campaign brings closure, but it is the multiplayer aspect that will revolutionize XBOX Live and online gaming as we know it.

Halo 3 is Bungie’s 3-year project and baby, with unlimited resources from Microsoft, that was made to send Microsoft’s XBOX 360 to the next level, and it was worth the wait and money. With over 1 million pre-orders, this epic tale concludes with the highest pre-orders of a game to date. This game in campaign feels, and plays near perfect, and allows veterans and newcomers alike to enjoy and truly experience this game. The story line finishes up the previous two games, and is just long enough to make it feel right, and not dragged out. It took approximately 8.5 hours to beat it on legendary difficulty. It may be a bit shorter, though this was played immediately after a midnight sale of this game. The co-op was well done, and creates a new feel for campaign FPS games. I look forward to the future where this will be the standard in playing games.

The online is well done. Halo 3 has once again set the standard of what an online matchmaking/playing system should be. Putting together fun maps, objectives, and customizable Advatars, this game will appeal to the “newbie”, as well as the everyday online Halo player. With the Halo 2 system being overhauled, and the Bungie stat-tracker updated, this game will quickly become the number one game on XBOX Live.

I could write a five page review on this game, the battles, the enemies, weapons, and AI, but it still would not do it justice. If you have an XBOX 360, you should buy this, and buy it now. If you have thought about getting an XBOX 360, this would be the reason to get one. Does it live up to the hype? I don’t think anything could have lived up to the hype that is game received. This game was praised as the second coming, but what it is one of the best games of 2007, and is beautiful and fun to play.

  Halo 3
Review created: 07/05/08
by:

First off I have to say that this game is amazingly fun to play and theres not much if any cons to this game. Alot of people told me that you have to have this game but, the only problem was, was that I didn't have an Xbox 360. So I went out and bought one and got Halo 3 with it. After playing the game for about a week I reliezed that this is not a game that someone would by a system for just to play.

  Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Review created: 07/04/08
by:

The gameplay of Halo 3 builds upon the previous iterations of the franchise; it is a first-person shooter which takes place on foot, but also includes segments focused on vehicular combat. The balance of weapons and objects in the game was adjusted to better adhere to what Bungie Studios Multiplayer Designer Lars Bakken describes as the "Golden Triangle of Halo".[15] These are "weapons, grenades, and melee", which are available to a player in most situations. Halo 3 contains the ability to dual-wield, where a player forgoes both grenades and melee attacks in favor of the combined firepower of two weapons simultaneously. Most weapons available in previous installments of the series return with minor cosmetic and power alterations. Unlike previous installments, all weapons a player is carrying are visible; weapons not in use are holstered or slung across the player's back. Halo 3 introduces "support weapons", which are exceptionally large, powerful, and cumbersome two-handed weapons which drastically limit the player's normal combat options and slow them significantly, but offer greatly increased firepower in return. In addition to new weapons, the game contains a new class of usable items called Equipment; these items are found like weapons and have various effects and functions, ranging from defensive screens to shield regeneration and enemy confusion. Only one piece of equipment can be carried at a time. Like the previous games, Halo 3 features a strong vehicular component, with new vehicles added to the series. Most of the vehicles can be controlled by the player, but some are A.I.-controlled. Certain vehicles usable in campaign are not available by default in multiplayer due to balance concerns; conversely, some vehicles are only found in multiplayer.

Besides refinements, Halo 3 also adds some new features. One such feature, known as 'Forge', is a map-editing tool that enables players to insert game objects, such as weapons and crates, into existing multiplayer maps. Almost all weapons, vehicles, and interactive objects can be placed and moved on maps with Forge. Forge allows multiple players to work on maps at the same time, players can turn into a Forerunner Monitor and edit and manipulate objects in-game. Another new feature is 'Saved films', which allows players to save up to 100 films of gameplay to their Xbox 360's hard drive, viewing the action from any angle and at different speeds. The Saved Films are only game data (not an actual video) and this allows the file sizes to be smaller than a true recording. Saved films are played back at whatever resolution the Xbox 360 is currently set to, regardless of which resolution was used when the film was recorded. All games are recreated in real-time on the Xbox 360 using the Halo 3 engine. Halo 3 offers a form of file sharing, where items such as saved films, screenshots, custom game modes, and Forge settings can all be uploaded to the 'File Share'. Anyone can browse user created content that has been uploaded to Bungie's website on a personal computer and tag it to automatically download to their console next time they sign into Xbox Live.

Take a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Now I know that xbox360 are really great and loads of fun for families, but just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup, and the end result is that you get a good game console for free instead of paying upwards of $500 for a Wii. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do). The best offer to do is STAMPS.com. Its free; all you need to do is register for a four week trial and quit after 3 weeks for credit.

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free Xbox 360 Elite or cash? Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 9-12 people or friends (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay or any other message board, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your Xbox 360 Elite or your selected item for free (I chose the playstation3). No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though (or you could post my link, I don't mind :D). You will get your own personal link after your order is placed.

Step 1: Click my link: http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5173274

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer up to 12 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your Xbox 360 Elite or Cash for FREE!! (Even The Shipping Is Free!!!)

For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the company that is behind everything.
http://www.trainn.org/reviews.php

Please take advantage of this offer!!!

Check it out now:http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5173274

There are also links on the website for similar offers to get free Wii's and PS3's, but it'd be great if you would help me get referrals :D

  One Of The Best Games Ever Produced
Review created: 07/02/08

If you are an XBOX 360 owner this game is a must have. This was the first game I bought for my system a year ago and still remains my favorite. There are just a few games that I hold as high as Halo 3, but non have had the replay value that it does. I love Guitar Hero and its series, but after you play the same songs a hundred times, it gets boring. This game is constantly being updated via XBOX Live and new maps are always being produced. This allows the game to keep its appeal and the online play is spectacular. I can play hours on end without getting bored of this game. I would worry more about your hands getting sore before you want to put the controller down. I think that Bungie has done its homework on all of the Halo series, but in particular this one. If you own an XBOX 360, I would certainly buy this. And if you don't own an XBOX 360, buy one and get this game with it!

This game was a ton of hype and not really that great. I waited eagerly for two years and bought it on opening day. I even had to reserve a copy of it well in advance only to find that there were millions of copies available in surplus. The first player storyline was complete garbage. There is even a love relationship with the Master Chief and the ship computer Cortana (if that is how you spell it). The online gameplay and pretty much everything else is a carbon copy of Halo 2. All that is added is a couple of extra weapons. I played this game out of bordom until I purchased a copy of Call of Duty 4, and with COD4 that's where the fun started. If you buy Halo 3 get it cheap.

It is a shooter exactly like any other. This game brings absolutely nothing new or exciting to the genera. Not to mention, playing with a controller is like trying to run with no legs.

If you bought an xbox 360 for this game, you have failed at life and need to start over.

I paid for the item on 6/1/08 and the item did not arrive until 6/23/08. I contacted the seller several times he said he did not have the money to ship the item. Even though I paid for shipping, he said he had more important things to pay. When the item finally came it was not new in the factory seal as it was advertised. I am very unhappy with this sale. I would not have paid so much for a used item.
