Halo 3

I just finished halo3. Although the story was lacking and the ending was even more anticlimatic than the second. The game created some very atmospheric enviroments. I was dissapointed with the over all game though. It was one of the shortest games i have ever played. You had to put the difficulty on legendary for any type of challenge and although the story was wrapped up, it hardly warranted another game. Im still confused why they didnt offer any type of ending for master chief. We are to believe he died or moved out to a mountain and got it on with cortana. If he was on the same spacecraft as the arbiter and the arbiter survived. Why would they even imply that he died?

At any rate i thought it was fun, but, excluding graphics it was by far the weakest of the series. Although, the final stage was quite possibly one of the funnest last stages i have played in a game. You have to escape with the arbiter while shit is blowing up all around you and that orchestral Halo theme plays in the background...,good stuff

...go back and play it and watch after the credits.

very true.

We all know that, you get the full ending by completing it on Legendary mode.

Oh yeah, Legendary was quite a b!tch sometimes, but I made it through, I just want to know what planet it is...

And I finally did it! I got my last three achievements...legitamately! So, I finally get to wear the awesome Elite helmet, very excited, it is very badass.

It is, I have it to, it is so much more rewarding on Legendary.

No, not everyone did know that. Someone asked what happened, hence, my answer.

Sorry.

Played 2 player co op on Legendary.

I get my ass handed too me every minute. Not very fun for me.

Overall, the co op single player is a good addition but after playing Gears Of War single player co-op, Halo 3's is not very fun.

I have both so It is hard to compare both of them.

I enjoyed the co-op in Gears more than Halo 3's also.

Yeah, Halo 3 isnt bad, dont get me wrong but something about the gameplay of Gears Of War that makes co-op such a better experience.

With Gears of War, we're shouting out strategies and calling out enemies and yelling at each other for screwing up, while when we played Halo 3, it was basically like both of us are playing the singleplayer game and it just happens to be at the same time.

It could be because Gears Of War is very visceral and you can see where your friend is shooting at, while in Halo 3, the gun sounds and gun effects are not nearly as good. I was shooting a turret in Halo 3 and my friend didnt realize I was firing it because he couldnt the tracers while in Gears, he knew where I was shooting at and could do the same.

Personally I think Halo 3 is more enjoyable while playing by yourself through the campaign.

That is so true, GOW you have to be more tactical, and stealthy around your opponents you have to think ahead.

Gears campaign is so-so. It was to easy on all the difficulties and the cover system made it cheap. Tactics and stealth were never needed.

Overall I prefer Halo 3's story mode, and gears of War's matchmaking system, plus I like the fact that Gears of war is a more team-oriented game and so forces you you to work together, whereas Halo is all about the "lone wolf" mentality.

I just blasted everything, I never liked it that much, but the Krill, oh how I despise the Krill.

Yeah I just blasted everything too. This was usual strategy on all the difficulties:

Instantly get behind cover, aim and fire at the enemy until I'm about to die, then duck down, once my health is restored I poke my head out again, and again, and again, after maybe five minutes the entire room is cleared. Sometimes the AI will get bold and try to rush me.. I just stay hidden behind cover and when they jump over I chainsaw them.

Rinse and repeat.. the only hard time I had was against the giant bug thing, even RAAM was really easy.
