I can't speak for the other games, but for Halo 3, no, not really. It's not a good game, and I'll leave it at that.

Go away, you have no idea what you are talking about, and I can say that with confidence after reading your blog about Halo 3.

AAA being a marketing term, as they discussed on the Giant Bomb podcast, Halo IS a AAA game, fact, whether you like it or not.  That was a bit of a run-on sentence.

My God, we already know how this is going to turn out.  If you live in an insular world where none of the shooters you play are made better by doing things that Halo did, I doubt this thread is going to change that.

Halo is a Triple A blockbuster smash hit that's actualy kind of mediocre to me.

Not this again. I said "I'll leave it at that." I'm willing to leave at "it's not good", can't you at least leave it at "I think it's good, but I respect your difference in opinion?"

No, to me it just an average shooter that just lead the way for Xbox, other then that it wasn't revolutionary to me, therefore it was just over hyped good, game but nothing fanatic as Mrs Pacman.... I kid but still nothing to go nuts about

Halo is a good game, but in all honesty, i never saw what made Halo so great.

Not when your reasons for saying it sucks are the most moronic things i've ever heard in my entire life. 
 
Example:  "I never played Halo 1 or 2 so I didn't understand the story in 3, so it sucks"
 
"I didn't know how to use deployable cover" (You press X for god sakes)
 
"I'm playing on easy and it's way to easy! so it sucks!"
 
"I've never played the multiplayer, but it sucks!"
 
Etc.

A lot of the posters say no but the the first option is getting the most votes, why?

Counter-examples:
 
I was able to understand the stories of the following games, despite not having played their predecessors: Gears of War 2, FEAR 2, Fallout 3, COD4, etc.
 
My complaint was that it wasn't a major part of the game. Moving on...
 
I was playing on Normal. You know, the word that means "typical; what most people expect and/or know." I only play games on Easy when they don't have a normal mode (Ninja Gaiden II, unfortunately).
 
I made the point that there are some problems inherent to the original con......I'm not starting this again. WHY COULDN'T WE JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT!?

So you're saying Halo CE does but the sequels don't?
