    Halo3 Review

    Positives

    • Visuals and texture details can lend an awed "movie-like" feeling, especially on 1080p.
    • Forge mode, with the addition of the map Foundry, makes a simplistic, yet very easy map editor.
    • ... Plus, with the addition of making your own game modes, and collaborating them with your very own Forged maps, you can create your very own (mini)games. (Add friends for infinite fun)
    • 4-player co-op is a neat addition

    Negatives

    • Hefty amount of trial-and-error in both multiplayer and single player. You will keep saying "where did that explosion come from?" a gazillion of times in frustration.
    • Close-range combat in multiplayer is annoying and abysmal, that being caused by the warped HUD and double-melees.
    • All weapons are imbalanced, most meant for close-ranges and very few meant for long/medium ranges.
    • The AI in the campaign is laughable. The Brutes are headshot magnets. They are challenging in numbers, but not in skill. This is a major disappointment, especially after the amazing AI that we have witnessed in the previous Halo games.
    • The story is full of WTF moments that make no sense, even if you beat Halo2 and 1 and read all the novels.
    • Ends in a cliff-hangar.
    • Theater mode is cool, but it's impossible to watch videos with friends in your party.

    CONCLUSION: This game was a disappointment.

    I know, guys. It's a really shitty review from when I was a dumb late-teen. Halo3 really isn't all that bad.

      I'll focus on several aspects in my review which I feel are important in any game, So let's begin. The Story. Continuing on from the end of Halo 2, which was very much disappointing, Master Chief had just arrived back at Earth to 'Finish the Fight', we see his ship crash into Earth's atmosphere and down in the jungle. You then find out that the Covenant have been excavating a huge hole in a part of the earth near New Mombasa. They've uncovered a huge Forerunner device, The Ark. This Ark is the...

      Finishing the fight lives up to the hype, and then some. 0

      Halo 3 is one of the most eagerly anticipated games ever made. The first Halo was a landmark achievement in not just first person shooter, but in gaming as a whole. It had incredible visuals, a great story accompanied by great music and voice work and absolutely perfect shooter gameplay. With so many gameplay innovations; such as the rebounding health meter and the limited weapon carrying it was probably the best console shooter since Goldeneye and probably the best console shooter, along with i...
