A review not based on the hype

Ok i'm not a Halo fanboy so i can give you a objective review. This game was over hyped to many people fell into that hype. I have played the first two, and the third one was nothing realy all that new. The camp was fun to play threw alone and with three other freinds that is right you can play with three other freinds. THe camp was a bit bland tho you just walk around then shoot stuff then walk around some more get into some vehicles and shoot some more. This was not the best way to rap up this story. I wanted more then just walk and shoot. the online game play is the same as always you have to deal with a bunch of winey jerks almost makes it unbarebale at time. Stil fun to be able to make you r own maps some what. I wish that they would ahve done more with that. they only thing that you can do is change weapons and vehicle. You can not move and of the structures. That was a bit of a disapointment. This game was great the play threw I find my slef not playing it any more, and i ahve moves on to othe games, and revisting other ones. If you like the first two you will like this one. Great game just not all that it lives up to hype wise
What's great about it: Fun to play co op camp
What's not so great: Not to many cons
I would recommend this to a friend!

another halo game

let me first say this is a great game and a nice sequel to halo 2. if you're familiar with the storyline and you're looking for conclusion here you'll be ... somewhat satsified.
as for gameplay and graphics, that's another matter.
the gameplay is standard halo fare, you have a few new weapons and vehicles, as well as a few new abilities as well. the chief can now rip turrets off of their mounts making mobile destruction via turret possible. you can also deploy equipment now, such as shields, grav lifts, flares, auto turrets, mines, etc. shields can be helpful in a pinch, but most of the other goodies aren't that impressive.
halo 3 still suffers from some of the flaws of the previous entries in the series. mainly repetitive level design in campaign and goofy, yet omniscient, enemies. on the easier levels enemies often know where you are without having to resort to seeing or hearing you, this is lame. on legendary enemies always know where you are, even without having seen you, and "harder difficulty" just means more of them.
graphically the game looks like halo 2 with a better framerate. get up close to any textured object and the ugliness quickly reveals itself. when we have games that look as good as gears, and now the much cooler call of duty 4, this game just doesn't hold up. it's definitely a step up from halo 2, but it's a short step.
final thoughts:
if you're a halo fan then you've probably already bought this and are deeply in love with it. if you're not, then sadly halo 3 doesn't have the power to make you a believer. the single player campaign offers a modest amount of fun, particularly if you're taking on legendary with some buddies online, but if you didn't care for halo before not enough has changed to make you love it now.
bottom line: a decent game with many rough edges, but if you love halo then you'll certainly be loving this.
What's great about it: another halo game
What's not so great: doesn't really feel next gen

I know its halo and everyone makes it out to be so good. Its like 100 other games out there and the graphics arent even close to a game like Gears.
What's great about it: Everyone has the game
What's not so great: Graphics arent that good
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than Halo 2

Although the game play was very much like Halo 2 there are a few key changes and the storyline is more compelling. The changes are a few different weapons, four grenades instead of two, sniper rifle and battle rifle are harder to use(which may sound like a bad thing but it's not), and equipment (bubble shield, trip mine, anti shield generator, etc.). The differences don't seem to change the game all that much. Bungie definitely used the motto 'if it ain't broken why fix it' so if you liked Halo 2 then you're bound to like Halo 3.
What's great about it: Guns equally powerful (not everyone with a BR), Storyline better than Halo 2, campaign scoring, map vetoing online
What's not so great: Still seems to be something lacking with the storyline

Halo 3 has it all. Co-op campaign, single player campaign, Forge, split screen even in online ranked games, death matches, and videos.
Single player comes back with avengeance. Play on the hardest difficulty and you will have a nice challenge. It is a little short with only 9 chapters, but very fun and worth playing. You can set up co-op with up to 4 people (including yourself) which makes it a lot easier, (and you still get the achievements) but still pretty rough on the hardest difficulty. There is a video mode where you can actually play back what has happened in the games (even in campaign, which is a good way to look for the hidden skulls), pause, change angles and explore with the free roam camera. Forge is a way to set up your own maps. You can not create the terrain, but you can move objects, flags, spawn points, territories, whatever your fancy is. You can even play a game while creating things at the same time. It is a lot of fun to do.
Finally we come to what everyone wants to do. Death match! Online vs. games are a lot of fun. It is set up like Halo 2 where you play against people with the same (or similar) skill levels. You can play ranked games in parties and if you have too large of a party you can set up a social game. This is all a lot of fun to play around with.
Achievements for this game are decently well done. You will be playing most of the aspects of the game for awhile in order to get them all. The point arrangement could have been a little better in my opinion, but not detrimental at all.
Get this game if you like Halo, first person shooters, or fun!
What's great about it: A lot of fun, deathmatch
What's not so great: Lag... Not inherent in the game, just when it happens.

Very fun to play with friends...
Storyline can get dead boring, but if your a Hardcore Halo Head, that shouldn't matter, and you won't even notice the occasional dullness in the plot...
What's great about it: You can play for hours, on Xbox Live
What's not so great: Storyline gets boring after a little while

What's great about it: Great Graphics and gameplay
What's not so great: Gets old way to fast

A solid game and basically the reason that I purchased the 360. I enjoyed the original Halo for my old XBOX, and decided to give Halo 3 a try because of all the hype and talk. Solid campaign mode and the online is very deep and varied. Many different online game modes that include solo, team, and two on two fighting. Great graphics and the sound (on surround sound) is also quite good. When you purchase a 360 make this either the first or second game you purchase.
What's great about it: Graphics, Story Mode, Online Play
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!
