  • Wow excellent review. Out of all the big name critics that reviewed this game yours really is the most honest. I couldn’t agree more Halo 3 was such a HUGE disappointment with both its single player campaign and online multiplayer. Ironically another lie is that it was the last game of the series, after 4 years they’re still continuing to pump out these mediocre games.

  • 44 xbox fanboys are pissed

  • It's stupid cuz the only one with no problems was halo 1

    Big deal the handgun rapes we all get one so its not unfair

    Halo two had a gay cliffhanger however it's campaign wasnt bad n it had good multiplayer maps

    Halo three maps weren't bad either

    Halo reach campaign is boring, enemies have way too much health, it's halo 3 with worse maps and it bans u for a while if u leave like 3 games

  • There definitely needs to be more of these videos!

  • halo 3 or halo free?

  • theres something about the F.O.V of Halo 3 thats wierd.... to me... fanboys go nuts against me.

  • Halo 1 is better than Halo 3 I think :P

    <3 Halo1.

  • (con't from last comment)

    Also, hype like this an only be expected from Microsoft, who quite literally had Bungie's balls in a vicegrip at the time the entrie Trilogy was made. The game also wasn't really meant to be played for its "new features," all of which are extremely clever, IMO; they balance out the gameplay really well, considering the difference in pacing between H2 and 3. The campaign is certainly worth buying the game for, and is what it is; a Wrap-up, but an excellent one.

  • I actually have to disagree at some points.

    All gameplay graphics will, for the forseeable future, ALWAYS be less than a pre-rendered trailer, and will always fall within the limitations of budget and the console itself. Not to mention, optimization. The music is actually EXTREMELY well done, better than any other game I've played. The clip you showed actually appeared to me as though you triggered the music and ran back to that spot to make it seem awkward.

  • i knew this game was a bunch of lies. lol angry Xbox fanboys. that was hell funny

  • Believe

  • lie 1: if it can pull off all the halo wars CUTSCENES and gears 2 why cant whey pull off that

  • lie 1: I did feel cheated and like cryed! lie 2: resinible but dont think they ment it to be real... lie 3: BS it did not make sense but if it did who cares!!! Any way good overall game and dont worry u no microsoft thats whatnew conseles r 4 to fix lie 1 the xbox 720 is gona make the trailer look like what we acctully got

  • Ok, so the single player campaign isn't great at times, and I definitely don't play halo for the solo campaign.

    But, the multi-player is EPIC, in my opinion. weekly updates made by Bungie make the online play even better. and no Halo-hater can say that they haven't enjoyed Grifball at some point. Theater is great too, something that COD really needs to get.

  • Halo 3 is shit. I seriously have no idea what makes it so great... for a FPS-game it is slow, plays on rather low FPS and has incredibly boring and low quality texture and ofc, paired with the really low quality firing sounds. it is however, very multiplayer friendly and has a "good" soundtrack. You can't possibly say it has "the best" graphics out there... And also, what's the bloody idea of having to download a 600~ mb large map pack just to be able to play ranked games? and the slow team ups.

  • you couldn't be more wrong the graphics are amazing compared to any xboox game, there are now glitches to be found or places in the backround with dodgy graphics. its not overhipped, the online is one of the best produced by x-box and there are no other games out there were you can make your own maps and play them let alone take screenshots of epic moments. you have concentrated too much on the campain which isn't the best be is still above average

  • I love halo but I have agree it is a generic shooter. The only reason I really like it is probably the fact that I can play with friends. Halo is great. Halo 2 and 3 on the other hand didn't really add much. I mean sure its just as good but Halo 1 is still my fav because the story was good for the time.

  • are you a graphics whore?

  • mostly about the armur u unlock

  • it says over kill why the hell r u talking about this and stop complaining about the graphics game came out to late to be mad

  • Halo Wars is already out dumbshit cloud414

  • Awesome Review I Keep On watching your reviews

  • yo man don't listen to those fucking doushebags mutha fuckers u a cool homie and i love ur reviews and please continue making them don't listen to that fucking home youngxo6 whatever the hell his name is just please continue oh yea by the way can u tell me ur intro song to ur reviews it is a tight ass song man

  • I do believe it's 'Aerodynamic' by Daft Punk

  • 'alo free

  • lies they are making halo osdt and no not halowars

  • killzone 2 and its trailer look a likeee

  • halo 3 was indeed a multiplayer game with a campaign slapped on to it. I think you were a bit soft though, as a fanboy I found Halo 3 to be disappointing the to the point of being offensive. The game sucks.

  • read a real book not one about your favourite game books and films about games are nearly always shit and the story of halo isnt really that special compared to other books and films.......

    (fanboys gasp and cry into their master chief helmets)

  • minxado is right the trailer is pre rendered as a CGish scene. At least half of the replay value comes from the multiplayer so you should have given some points there. One main facet to many games these days is multiplayer and if you are not good at it you should not just judge the game from the single player mode.

  • played the killzone 2 Beta and must say it lives up to the hype !

  • really good review man :)

  • i love it how you use the most shit wep in the game (spiker)

    L3@RN +0 BR

  • lol ps3 online doesnt lag....if it lags 2bad then its ur internet lol xDDDDDD

  • actually resistance 2.... 60 players online no lag

  • it's really ALL about the online multiplayer

    which you didn't talk about at all

  • The trailer is pre rendered, it's not supposed to look like that.

  • i agree the campaign was shitty i liked the new vechiles and such but if they took out multiplayer 2/3 of the fans would sell it

  • like the theme song

  • yes halo 3 is awesome i have it for my xbox 360 finished the game in 2days though kinda lame that it ends that halo dies so im just playing live with halo 3.

  • who the fuck is "halo", anyways, Master Chief doesn't die

  • i got halo 3 and it's such a peace of shit

    there is only 7 hours of gmaeplay for campain and the multiplayer is fucked

    i would give it a 5/10

  • Anything from 8.6-9.6 is okay is with me.

  • this guy didnt realize that ya the story isnt all that up to par. but thats not the reason pepl buy this game they buy it for the MP

  • i love when you said that the first killzone 2trailer is just a graphics lie.

    but infact killzone 2 turned up to be similar to the trailer that they have shown first

  • i am a sony fan boy as people would call it but i am a halo fan boy too.

    i cannot say i was happy with that game. mostly for the reasons listed by over/underkill

    got some other reasons but would run out of space.

  • Its sad that some of the Halo fans are so blindly in love with the series to see some of it's flaws.

  • Love how, If you bash any of the halo games, Your automatically a Sony Fanboy...

  • It looks like there are some halo fags cause a guy with some sense got down voted

  • All my friends hate me for agreeing with you

  • its sad i did like the game but like you said it cannot live up to the lies and without the lies it would have been an epic game although the single player is teriable.

  • Single player in all the halo games is dull.

    The only thing the series ever had going for it was MP from Halo 2 onwards.

    Get over it.

    It's a pretty mediocre FPS in single player.

  • everything u said is so true...

  • OMG. I just saw a grunt piss himself! oh wait, its just the crappy blood effects...

  • papapattepaparoach=Crap User name

  • lol

  • nice review

  • Halo 3 was horrible under Next-Gen standards. I loved Halo 1 and 2, and I was hoping that 3 would be a terrific fight finisher for the once great trilogy, but then I played it and nothing but disappointment overwhelmed me. Bungie wasted time putting so many worthless features that the graphics couldn't be good (level design was near perfect, but some textures and character design was horrible).

    Wow, what a bummer. Thank God I didn't buy an Xbox to play this game alone (friend had it, so WTH?).

  • ok i slightly disagree with the actual review because even if halo 3 was the second coming it still would be half of what ms promised but id stil give it a 9.5 and seriously, if you dont like multi player, dont get halo games....Halo 3 is the best multi player game ever and overall in my opinion the best game ever!

  • best multiplayer game?

    in your opinion..in mine it would be gears of war or unreal tournament 3

  • gears is amazings but UTI&II are waaayyy better than UT III

  • dude..i loved UT1...you are right

  • UT ftw I mean it normally i hate multiplayer fps games in in unreal tournament its great

  • a game only good online is only half good

    5/10

  • i liked halo 3..for 2 weeks..it was fun at first but everything just wore off the multiplayer even got broign after a month or so for me..i just don't see how so many people love that multiplayer..i think gears and rainbow is better..then again im more into tactical shooters than run and gun

  • i agree with the review yes halo 3 was over hyped in many ways and did not live up to the trailers hopes lol 8.9 is right

  • All in all I enjoyed the game , but I totally agree with everything you said.

  • I totally agree with you on the graphics, and those Lies, all LIES!!!!!!!!!! But I did enjoy the game itself, for me it was satisfying, just not as satisfying as I hoped. Bungi had the opportunity for those original amazing graphics they showed, but they had to throw in a whole bunch of other stuff that caused the graphics to be toned way down, like saved films, and co-op. It really pissed me off when the reflection on MC's helmet was not as clear as the e3 trailer one.

  • i agree with u on the hype, and i half agree with lie #1, but lie #2 was a load of bullcrap. the "believe" ad was meant to show the epic warring going on between the covenant and the humans, and how master chief ends up as a major part of sucess. it was NOT intended to reveal any part of the plot. mostly, actually, it was connected to a point a good few years AFTER the end of halo 3.

  • MGS > HALO

  • While I do agree with you there, MGS and Halo are two completely different games, so you can't really compare them. But still, when it came to the hype, MGS4 still lived up to it.

  • I think the biggest problem with halo 3 was that it was waaaay overhyped and it became way too main stream. they made the game for everybody. it wasn't as badass as the other two games. Its obvious that alot of the people who will play this are like 12 years old but did they really have to dumb everything down for them? even the skulls are easy as hell to get. hell little booklet has a section titled THE STORY SO FAR.

  • I'm a 360 owner and I'm really worried if not scared. Halo 3 was a huge disappointment for me: over hyped and overrated. GoW was well...eh.

    I did not enjoy it. I don't know about Fable 2 as the first one was too animated and child-like. I felt like I was 5 while playing the game. I'm worried that the 360 has just simply run out of games and is dying. Should I sell it and buy a PS3? Its line-up sounds to me is better than the 360s. I mean 150+ exclusives. MGS4, need I say more?

  • no, mgs4 is amazing.....

  • Dude you made me crack up at :49... HOLY SHIT.. ITS HALO 3!

  • ok i think u wher wrong when u said about halo isnt set right after halo 2, cos at the end of halo 2 the forerunner ship with master cheif on arrives, and he does his "finishing the fight" speach, and halo 3 starts with him leaving the ship and the marines finding him in the jungle

  • wow, i would give halo 3 more like a 3/10, it was really a big dissopointment for me, the first one were great tough !!! and it was a waste of time buying my 360 for !!!

  • Halo3 sucks and is for gay faggots

  • Its your opinion, But you should really try it out before talking shit.....

    Its just like me saying

    That people who dont play halo 3 suck and are gay faggots.

    Just try it out.

  • alright, maybe my comment was a bit immature

    but still...my point stands

    Halo is a overrated piece of crap, the real score for it would be 4/10

  • funny video and i know what you mean about it being overhyped because i bought into the hype myself but a few things. first off the trailer was out way before the game itself and it was quite obviously a cutscene, not at all a in game cinematic like the one you compared it with. the second part about the plot being shown with the "believe" campaign was that it wasn't acctually the plot to the game, merely a battle that took place and soldiers recalling master chief. good video though dude=)

  • i enjoyed 1, 2 was ok and so was 3. i agree with you its wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to0 overhyped its not the ultimate game on the case it says on a quote 'game of the century' errrr no its not. the gameplay hasnt changed at all and the story will give you seizures and nightmares tryin to figure it out. the flood make no sense to the story and i think were added to make the game have more variety. Still i think Halo3 is good i would give it 8.5/10 Multiplayer helps it but not as good as COD4 and Warhawks

  • what is halo free?

  • halo 1, absolute best story which i played more then 2 and 3 combined, 2 was great with awesome multipalyer, 3 was good, with a solid online gaming experience but the story left me thinking...WHAT?!

    several parts throughout the main story had me feeling the same way i felt when i watched karate island with anticipation of it being another great spongebob episode, but was almost like a different show entirely, just like halo 3 =\

  • agreed halo 2 wasnt bad at all it was awesome but halo 3 idk...these 2 games remind me of bf2(awesome) and bf2142(a few additions to the "awesome" at a retail price...gay) idk ill prbly get flamed 4 this comment...w/e ill be playing mgs4

  • very true, every thing you said was correct about the game...5 stars

  • Good review. I like you style.

  • Game hasnt changed since the first 1 really...

  • Halo isn't a bad game, its just really overated. It's for people who own a console and don't play pc shooters. So alot of people who own a xbox are just like "HALO IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!"

  • ITR: Truth

  • when halo first came out the first week everyone loved it except for a small group, but then progressively over time everyone figured out the game wasn't as good as it we expected. it was the first time EVER that i got swept away in the hype believing it was the next thing to god. i don't hate it...but i don't love it i come back to it because it is the only multiplayer that i can play with friends.

  • wtf is a halo free?!

  • holy cow do u guys still believe in the movie its FAKE its just a publicity stunt to get people to buy halo and find out wat it is about and make money

  • halo is a pretty good game but i agree with you on most points. definitely didn't live up to hype.

  • Halo was great. Sadly, everything was downhill from there. The story got worse, the levels got worse, and it really was just more and more of the same. It could never replicate the awesomeness of playing the first Halo.

  • this game was in fact OK. BUT this isnt the end. there making a halo movie then halo wars and then a halo prequal. So the prequal beter be AMAZING.

  • online rocks!!

  • Halo 3 is shit lol

  • pretty overrated in my opinion

    MGS4 soon!

  • im sorry, but some of us like fps, and some of us love the multiplayer. its ur opinion of course

  • i completely agree with everthing you say in the review. Why all the thumbs down?

  • its true the hype was way too much for this game to handle theres nof laws but the hype just destroyed it

  • You probably pissed off shitloads of Halo fans.

  • He is right, but I thik he should have given it a higher rating. there was absolutely nothing wrong with Halo 3, just the way that the media potrayred it. the hype was worthy of the game, but it was misdirected. this is an awesome first-person shooter, with incredible online play. but thats not what got everybody so excited. they were all eager for more storyline, but the game gives you more features, because that way, it lasts longer. an rpg gets old, because all you have is storyline.

  • Although i disagree with what you where saying i am not going to critersise you about it. I am a massive halo 3 fan...but you are in title to your opinion.

    However you didn't give forge a mention, that is one of the greatest things that has ever happened for Halo!

    Also i gave this video 5/5 because you presented it PERFECTLY, great work. Next time, please...for gods sake...don't put a video under a different name than it really is about!!!! But in total the video was well worth watching!!!!!!

  • entitled to your opinion

    not in title to your opinion.

  • OH, right................... thanx

  • hahahah "Halo free"?

    say it right

  • some people say it like that, get over it.

  • wait lie 3 made no sense cause they said it took play after Uprising

  • "Nice sniping" "What a suck up" lol

  • still a really fun game to play despite everything.

  • its kind of true i went to my cousins house and was there when he got halo 3 we were so hyped but then it was nothin like the trailer in e3. he ended up trading it for call of duty 4. halo 3 was a good but nothing like halo 1 and 2

  • i agree, good video (i would rate it better than heavenly sword but thats just me)

  • So many f..in idiots...

  • come on your the reason reason people blame games for being to violent. calm down jeez halo is good there. all games are good there just calm down you sound like and angry nerd whos xbox got the the red ring of death no offence though

  • i played halo 3 and i won halo 3 in the same day coz its so fucking easy and short as hell it was over hyped and even if it wasn't its still just an OK game its not a 8.9 its not even a 8.5 2 me i would give it a 8.0 and yes i'm taking into count the graphics and the fact thats the end but still they could have made it much better

  • idk, uncharted for PS3 looks amazing

  • ye i got to say i dislike halo 3 multiplayer due to the fact it plays like a noob fps (not calling its players noobs) there is no fall damage your shield regenerates TONS OF AUTO AIM it just plays like its for new gamers

  • That comment was geared toward grungnime.

  • the thing is u cant turn off autoaim in halo 3 and it messes p ur actual aim

  • u dont like multiplayer??? what! this game is centred around multiplayer... and u should of at least tried to play multiplayer to see what its like and to get better at it.

  • some good points but the graphics pwn ass compared to halo 1 + 2.

  • well it has to!

  • What song was that?

  • i cant belive im saying this but thats true. im a big halo freak but some things i have to accept the truth.

  • Even though i hate to admit it that's the truth great review

  • yea i would second that

  • dude, u look too much into this game, jeez, just play the damn thing, dont criticize it...seriously, its not a bad game lol

  • what's ur theme tune?

    i'm a brit too btw ;)

  • its aerodynamic by daft punk

  • yea the reason this game got such good reviews was because of the great multiplayer and the fact that they rated it without prejeduce where as binks focused on the lies msoft came up with to make halo 3 sell this well

  • agreed

  • i believe your review..

  • yeah if you dont like halo ! then dont play it !!!

  • some good points wen i saw the believ advertisement and then played the game i just thought "wtf have i missed something" but still graphics wise halo 3 is very impressive if u look at the quality, detail and scale its quite epic but i see where ur coming from

  • where is the innovation

  • maybe your tv just blows

  • ok first of all everybody makes their games look better for e3. and that trailer was clearly a cinematic, not part of the game, and master chief didnt just "fall over" he got blown down lol. second, no one ever said that the diorama had anything to do with the game, i did feel a little misled but im not complaining. and are u kidding me? it takes forever to get all the achievements in campaign and you totally left forge out and u didnt go over mulitplayer. come on man!!!

  • I agree with this review for the most part. the only thing i might dissagree with is the fact that the multiplayer wasent completyy farily reviewed. The multi is awsome espatialy with friends but the campain just wasent epic enough

  • I thought ur review was great, the reason i still play halo 3 is because of the multiplayer as online is AMAZING! But the single player was a HUGE letdown. The only game that wasn't hyped up that much that turned out great was Bioshock, it came out from nowhere. Anyway gr8 review, keep up the good work!

  • Ya I was disapointed by alot on this game. :(

    But I still play it every day almost.

  • Wow emukid you're right. It's so wrong to state your opinion. What was TheDevilsJoker thinking?

    You know what? He has every damn right to bash a game he was a little disappointed by. All you Halo toolbags need to realize that not everyone likes the game.

  • fuck you asshole this guy is awesome

  • what the shit is with the monkey snake and naomi? ( not sure if its naomi) in ur opening, ive never senn that before, lmao

  • its from MGS34

  • finally a honest review of this game

  • On the lie 2, do you know how bloody hard it is to design a level like that??? It's practically impossible

  • I thought the review was great but lie 3 isn't a lie Bungie even said you had to read Uprising to fully understand Uprising.

  • 8.9 is really to low.. wtach the multiplayer its perfect.. and compaign wasn't that long but it was great playing.. btw halo isnt about the graphics but about the gameplay and that is seriously the best ive ever played

  • ohhh 8.9 is so low even though 8 means great look it's just below a 9 it isn't low it's only low if it was 8.0.

  • And all the times i played this game there was something rare and it`s because i,ve played this game years before and the name was Halo: Combat evolved, in the end this is a really good game and recommended for everyone looking for a great online experience but dont expect to be blow away if you have played the other halo, good mark

    post 2/2

  • hahaha look at all these fanboys it was a really good review, this game it`s really good but doesnt deserve the note that gamemagazines gives, i`ve played halo 3 lots of time and have a great time but in the end the game never live up to the hype.

    post 1/2

  • its called an hd noob

  • as always a great review

  • OMG BK

  • It was an honest revi
