same with my friends, but why is it ridiculous? what's the big deal?
some people don't have the time (work 40hrs+) or money to spend $60 on all these games.
halo3 is a great game with great reply value and one of the best multiplayer interfaces on the 360. seems like a good one to keep on playin.

Yeah. Too bad it's stuck in the stone ages with controls that were surpassed before they were invented. N64 controls were far better for FPS games, nevermind Keyboard/Mouse Wiimote/Nunchuck. And yes i've played plenty of dual-analog FPS games, i've just never enjoyed them thanks to the barbaric controls and finishing the games becomes a real chore.

Maybe I should play some today.

I don't know what's the deal I pwn at Quake,TF2,F.E.A.R,Mediocre at COD4 and I'm also great in Battlefield but I don't seem to be good at Halo.
My main problem (other than lag) are the controls, they are super awkward. Halo 3 is the classic example of why Pc gamers hate FPS in consoles. I also hate how the sensibility works in H3,is either “arthritis” slow or “seizure” fast. You need to move while aiming because the analog stick alone won’t do the trick.
Also I hate how you can’t customize the buttons the way you want and is frustrating after playing lets say any other FPS, the controls change too much to the point you have to play for a while to get used to them.
It's also annoying the middle community (Inner community is actually good but they rarely play with anyone) is a group of effeminate homophobics,yeah that's an oxymoron right there.

I only played it for the first time yesterday because I have avoided it like the plague since Halo 2 scarred my soul. (Those were the pre-XBL days) Now I'm glad I only paid £9 preowned for it because it really isn't that good at all. I know for a fact the campaign isn't worth playing, and as far as I can see the MP is nothing against Burnout Paradise or even Gears.
Sorry guys.

Actually the Campaing is okay and for me the best aspect of the game but it ain't AAA material I found H2 levels and maps superior than those in H3.
In retrospective the best bits or what I liked about H3 was the stuff that was in other better games.For example in H3 the levels in which you can use the hornet (Not the crap you get in mp) is kinda like playing Warhawk or SWAT in Ghost Town was kinda like playing COD4.
MP only if you live in the U.S is okay but otherwise I can't honestly think in a good reason why should anyone stand Halo MP bullsh*t.Lag up the ass and believe me having a good connection is a big deal in Swords / Hammer matches.
I only play it for the achievements which with lag are a b*tch to get.

10 minutes once but it could be related to the time zone.
Always remember to use the Preferences menu before playing online. Select my language or best connection otherwise it takes forever or you play in lagtastic matches.
Engineer could you please recreate Halo suicide Kthnxbi (Seriously go an Halo).

I have contributed to a few of those, but not recently. Maybe once ODST drops I will get back in, with all the maps and everything. That is the plan. Then again, CoD MW2 should come out in the fall also, right? Hmm, I forsee lots of live time come the fall...

Couldn't help but laugh at the "That's like 3 multiplayer searches in Gears of War 2" parts. Hats off to Halo though, I think its more accessible than COD4 but still not as good.

Why does someone always comment on that? Its an automatic "filler" almost like a forum sig that adds at the bottom of every post. If you dont wanna view it dont.

There's a feature in my internet browser, kind of like "AutoFill" which fills in certain forms with certain content, it really isnt that hard.

Please. Read some of the comments about how great Killzone 2 is compared to Halo on some of the other posts. The bashing goes both ways, almost always unwarranted.
That is the on-going struggle of the fanboy war, and it may never ever end.

Seriously. Serious Cat time here. Do you really, I mean REALLY laugh out loud? Or do you just add that to your posts because you have nothing of importance to add and just want to pad the length of your posts?

"Lol and Joystiq is idiotic enough to call killzone 2 a "Halo Killer""
"Bitch please....sony wishes."
It was meant to be a joke about KZ2 outselling Halo Wars (an RTS) and wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

That's quite the achievement (pun fully intended).
I contributed to a few of those in the first 6 months after launch. Then I got tired of being pwned by pre-teens. Hung onto the game because it was fun to do some co-op when friends came round. But since L4D has taken the Crown of Co-Op Funnicity, I've just recently traded Halo in. Got good value on it too.
I'm not super interested in ODST, but I might give it a whirl. Kind of on-the-fence about it.

Pro tip:Halo strategy (if you don't have power weapons) is this Grenade,greande shot / Melee.
Also try jumping down to the left o right,that messes up everybody especially HDTV owners like me since the game isn't configurated to run properly in 1080p so you get a lot of blind spots.
Try to hide as much as possible or just stop moving.Someone,somewhere will eventually get tired of doing the same and will start walking looking where the eff is everybody.There is your chance for a free kill.

Haven't played H3 multiplayer in FOREVER. I was tired of getting utterly shellacked every time I'd log in (still had plenty of fun with it.) One of my friends and I just got back into the campaign though. I'd almost forgotten just how good it was.
