Yeah I know what you mean. At the beginning of this year’s E3 I was still in between buying a ps4 or an xbox one. However once I watched the awesome trailer for the remastered edition… I just can’t lol I need a one

Halo is a pretty awesome series. It’s the main reason I buy Xbox consoles.

Loved this! I couldn’t agree more with you. Now I need to play Halo 3 on multiplayer for old times sake.

A very insightful comment, just a testament to why the game is adored the way it is. I really hope an up and coming next-gen game can one day match Halo 3 as well. A tall order but we can all hope. Either way.. Halo 3 has a special place in almost FPS gamer’s hearts and with good reason!

Halo 3 was my first FPS game. I loved the campaign, the characters, all the little secrets and easter eggs that just aren’t seen in games all that often anymore. However, as great and memorable as the campaign was/is it was the multiplayer that earned it a permanent place in my gamer heart. It was hard but not unfairly so,if you died it was simply because you were the inferior player in the confrontation. There were no special upgrades for leveling up and your rank was a badge of honor instead of an inevitability.

I can’t even count the countless hours spent fighting across it’s wonderful maps with my friends, looking forward to the end of each week for the Double XP playlist (ROCKET RACE 4 EVAH!!!), and setting aside an entire day each year for the annual “Bungie vs. The World” event.

Halo 3 had it’s problems, of course. All online games do. It made up for them many-fold though. From the usually-balanced gameplay to the real sense of community that it cultivated. Halo 3 truly was something special that no other online shooter has managed to match nor even come close to (the sequels included). The day that game fell out of the spotlight in favor of Halo: Reach really felt like the end of an era…

However, now that Bungie’s all geared up and psyched for their new IP: Destiny, hopefully at long last we’ll once again see that spark which made Halo 3 so special…
