The Covenant rules the Earth ~ the Flood has been unleashed ~ and the fate of life everywhere hangs in the balance. Master Chief, a genetically engineered super soldier, is the last chance for humanity's survival. Stowed away on a Forerunner ship, he rushes back to Earth to defeat the Covenant once and for all. Hopelessly outnumbered, his outlook is bleak. But when you are bred for battle, you fight past the breaking point and bow to no one. It's all been building to this ~ a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Help this incredible hero stop the Covenant, destroy the Flood and save the lives of every person on the planet.The third chapter in the critically acclaimed franchise features insane battles with an arsenal of alien and human weaponry. Discover all-new armaments and characters as you fight to the finish. You can even play online with Xbox Live and battle in pulse-pounding multiplayer action. Next-generation graphics and technological advances, such as enhanced artificial intelligence and a beefed-up real-time lighting engine, make Halo 3 shine with stunning realism.

What a game... I'm still playing it pretty "hard-core" and am still loving it. Overall I found it to be an epic game that I am still and going to be (for a while) addicted to.
The gameplay is quit impressive and adds a solid number of weapons to the collection as well as a few extra cool grenade-like weapons that allow provide an extra shield, a shield regenerator and air lifting. Those are very helpful, though a little tough to get used to. 'Not to mention the extra vehicles... There is now a little 4-wheeler which is a TON of fun. They could easily make a racing game type in Halo 3 which I would personally LOVE playing. I don't think it goes any faster than any other vehicle in the game, but it's (small) size makes it look like your goin a hundred miles an hour around the maps.

I thought the campaign was good. It had a great amount of detail and was a fair deal of fun. HOWEVER, it was WAY too short. I think I only got a good 5 hours of solid game-play out of the campaign... Though I have to admit, you could probably compound that a few times if you are intent on finding all of the hidden skulls and achievements without any help.
The multiplayer aspect is much more fun, but can be much more frustrating. I have an excellent internet connection (topples most of the "average" internet connections - according to bandwidth tests) and still have some troubles with lag. I have spent a great deal of my life playing games and can confidently say I know the difference between lag problems and being a newb... And in Halo 3, even with a GREAT internet connection, I constantly find that I am (one) not getting assigned the game host and (two) getting fouled on some kills that I should have gotten due to lag issuess.
There are a few OTHER things I would like to note about the game which I think help it make the best of the year... (one) The Forge - This is a part of the game that allows you to modify the maps that are played by being able to place weapons, equipment and vehicles anywhere you want in the map. I have not had a great deal of experience with this yet, but find it as a neat add-on that I might get into when I get a little more bored with the game (a couple years from now). (two) The Theatre - This allows you to go and watch previous games that have been played and take recordings and screenshots. This is really fun and allows you to share your moments of excellence with the rest of the world. If you catch a glitch, you can rewind in the theatre and see how it happened and show everyone else, too! (three) The ranking has changed a bit for online play. Now, you have badges on top of your actual ranked match ranking that are associated with you based on your experience (the number of games you win). This "ranking" exists whether or not you play in ranked matches or not. It's kind of a way to tell how experienced of players your up against. I have seen a few people lately with the "Major" ranking hitting something like 300+ games won. It definately helps keep you in the game shooting to get the next badge.
Despite the few problems I have with the game (which will hopefully get resolved one day by Bungie), I love the game and can't stop playing it. It is challenging & intriguing and marvles other games in its genre. Recommended HANDS DOWN.
What's great about it: Multi-player campaign local AND online.
What's not so great: Sometimes painfully long waits in matchmaking.
I would recommend this to a friend!
