Replay.

Halo 3 marked the peak of Xbox as a brand, for me at least. Although I never actually owned a 360 in its heyday, I did borrow one to play this -- and it delivered on the hype and then some. A brilliant campaign. Still plays like a dream.

everyone will see this and say ''hell yeah''

As a kid I always thought Halo 2 was the better game, kids are dumb.
Master Chief's story should have ended here.

Halo 3 is like a thrilling action movie that is constantly in its climax. Once the campaign begins it doesn’t hold back. Lulls in the action are minimal, set pieces are plenty, and the action is constant. You would think this would get old after a while, but Halo 3 does not overstay its welcome. Clocking in at an average of 8 hours the time flies by. The story is admittedly pretty lackluster especially in comparison to Halo 2. Instead of setting up characters like the Arbiter, fleshing out the motivations of the Covenant, and establishing the lore of the Forerunners and Flood, Halo 3 opts to stick to its guns--literally. We just blast our way from one set piece to the next leaving any desire for lore or character development to take a backseat. Mechanically, it plays a lot like Halo 2 but improved. The new brute weapons, addition of the badass Spartan Laser, and the new equipment feature add to the already break-neck pace of firefights. The new vehicles were a blast to ride around in as well, especially my new personal favorite the brute Chopper. In the end, Halo 3 is a thrill-ride that leans into fast-paced action but sacrifices depth and greater narrative. It is a blast to play but lacks that extra push that could take it over the top and complete the package.

Maybe my favourite FPS of all time but you have to deduct a half star for that interminable anus level


Halo 3 was weird. I surely had a fun time beating this game, but it lacked something to me. Maybe it was because of the graphic style of this game (which for some reason seems different to me) or the level design (especially the Ark). However, IT IS the most acclaimed Halo title and I enjoyed every single part of it

This is my favorite game. Nothing can top it. Does it have problems? Yes. But I have too many core memories from my childhood for anything to ever top this one

The campaign is the equivalent of Infinity War/Endgame. You're not here for the story: you're here for the spectacle, and Halo 3 delivers in this. Aside from Cortana, every mission in this campaign has something fun and replayable to offer.

This multiplayer has problems. The wonky networking and non-hitscan weapons can cause inconsistencies at times. And yet I still love this multiplayer so much. The sense of community this game began to form was wonderful and would only be done better by its sequel

Forge has been a gamechanger for Halo as a franchise and, in my opinion, is one of the main reasons this IP is able to hold as many people as it does. Sure, casual arcade arena shooters are fun, but the custom games Halo 3 started is something I can't recall any other IP doing with consoles thanks to its forge mode.

I can't say enough good things about this game. Almost a masterpiece... almost

The first 360 game I ever played.

El fin de la "Trilogía de Master Chief". Le he plantado la máxima nota posible a los 3 juegos (nunca pongo notas) porque se lo merecen, ha sido de las mejoras experiencias que he tenido en muchiiiiiisimo tiempo y ahora entiendo por qué que marcaron a tantísima gente en su momento.

Quizá este juego no tiene la historia del 2 o el añadido de jugar con el Arbiter, pero lo compensa con un enfoque aún más "cinemático" (aunque no creo que sea una definición acertada), un gameplay muchísimo más pulido con una gran variedad de armas y con set pieces guapas de cojones. Pero guapas guapas.

La huida final en el Warthog ha resarcido todas las partes de los juegos anteriores con vehículos que tan poco me gustaban, siendo uno de los momentos álgidos de la trilogía. Irónico que justo sea su cierre.

La muerte del Sargento Johnson no me la vi venir y aunque no llegue a ser un momento emotivo como tal, entiendo que hace 17 años fuese un choque bien grande y que el juego cerrase como acaba pues tuvo que sentar como un hostion en las pelotas.

Una de los Trilogías más redondas que he jugado sin duda, la saga merece un reconocimiento mayor hoy día porque se lo merece por tantos motivos que es deprimente el estado en el que se encuentra... Simplemente no es justo.

Te quiero mucho Halo.

Damn. The fights done and I’m sad it’s over. You kick so much ass. It’s so cool.
