Halo 3

By Brandon Halo Waypoint was released in the past week.  You’ll find it in the Game Marketplace on Xbox Live, but it’s not so much a game as it is a service.  From one place, you can track your progress on Halo series achievements, see how many of your friends are playing a Halo game, and view all kinds of int...

By John On a similar note is Halo 3: ODST.  It built upon the story between the second and third games by introducing a kind of Metroid-like exploration aspect as well as a flashback-based story progression that really had me gripped from beginning to end.  The game is thought of as being a bit easier...

Say what you will about the space opera-esque story of the Halo series, but Bungie has consistently delivered the most solid, well designed console first-person shooter experience since the original Halo on the original Xbox, only recently matched by offerings such as Call of Duty 4: M...

By Ian Armour Halo 3 ODST is a must have for any halo fan. You can understand it even if you havent played the others in the series. Its not a particularly long game but the new multiplayer modes make it worth your cash. If you havent boughten the map packs for halo 3 this game comes with all of them. So basically yo...

By Patrick Nast Final Thoughts: ODST is a game that is worth playing for the rich art and new play mode, but because of the short campaign it is not worth shelling out 60 dollars for. I would recommend either borrowing it, or waiting until the price drops. However, If you don’t already have the Halo 3 multiplay...

By Brandon I was going to wait until I gave Firefight mode a good try before I wrote about Halo 3: ODST, but you know what: the one thing that Bungie has always been spot-on with in the Halo series is multiplayer.  There is no real need to review Firefight mode, as far as I’m concerned.  You know it’s great, I...

By Craige Parmenter Halo 3 Overall then, both games were a massive let down although I’m not sure if I’m more disappointed with the games or with myself for caving in to hype and live action trailers, that at no point showed anything to do with the game’s story. Anyway, I’ll probably buy Bioshock next as it’s a muc...

By dogsounds So overall, campaign gameplay is a blast, and being honest, is pretty close to the rush of Halo: CE. Beats Halo 2 and 3 any day. As always, I’m not really going to cover multiplayer. As 99% of people playing ODST will already have Halo 3, I don’t really need to go there. It’s Halo 3’s full multiplaye...

By Ren Miranda But aside from those issues, Halo 3 ODST is a good game and would be much appreciated by fans of the series and new gamers alike. It has a decent story and the Multiplayer however limited will have you playing with friends more often and if that’s not good enough for you, there’s the bonus disc w...

By Thomas Thiher Campaign has 4 player co-op, I always love that stuff. My experience with the game involved playing through the campaign once on normal solo, playing a few multiplayer firefight matches, and trying out the ‘new’ multiplayer maps at least a couple of times online)

By (B.O.M.B.) Joshua Shelton So getting to the game.  You are a member of a ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troop) squad that is about to drop into New Mombasa, the same city from Halo 2 and 3. This part of the Halo story is taking place while Master chief is off somewhere else during Halo 3.

By GrathiusXR Whether you are an avid multiplayer man, a single-player person or someone who enjoys some solid co-op gaming with friends, then this package is well suited to all styles What we are doing here in ODST Single Player Campaign Pt 2, is touching on the co-op portion of the game to see just how we...

By MPG_PuzzleFighterFan In terms of atmosphere, ODST succeeds. Marty O’Donnell returns with another effective Halo score, one that builds with the story. Early action scenes are punctuated by deep throbbing drums, and are eventually accompanied by full orchestration and electric guitar. It is Halo despite the...

By Russ Frushtick Despite the faults, "Halo 3: ODST" is more "Halo 3" with a fun new multiplayer mode, and it's pretty hard to complain about that. The majority of the missions are extremely well-crafted, and the storyline reveals some new and interesting angles to the universe. There are also some hints abo...

By Stephen Totilo Bungie's fourth Halo game, Halo 3: ODST, will officially be released for the Xbox 360 this week. A side story of a campaign that leads into the events of Halo 3, the game stars less powerful protagonists than series champion Master Chief. It is packaged in a way that has provoked consumer doub...

By bs angel Blood Gulch, the big daddy of all Halo multiplayer maps. It spawned Coagulation. It inspired Valhalla. It even made it into Halo Wars. There’s a reason why this map continues to create new life. That’s because it’s fucking aweome. Simplicity at its best.

By Brandon The cast of characters is great. Speaking of narrative: the Arbiter.  Sergeant Avery Johnson.  Commader Keyes (both father and daughter).  The slimy and scheming Propehts.  Tartarus.  Lord Admiral Hood.  All of these characters are unique; your allies are likable and your enemies disgusti...

By MPG_PuzzleFighterFan Sadly, it’s UNSC only in the single player campaign. No separate one exists for the Covenant, and the Flood are never playable. While the latter group isn’t a loss, a campaign for the major opposing side seems like a missed opportunity.

By Stephen Totilo Battling through the campaigns “Halo,” “Halo 2″ and “Halo 3,” were like playing with three new Christmas batches of G.I. Joes.

By Jake There is multiplayer co-op gameplay of the main story over Xbox Live and local networks as well as multiplayer fights over Xbox Live. One of the problems with reviewing a game before it is released is that there was only 2 to 10 other people playing the game so I was not able to try out the multip...

By rss@youtube.com (MusicGame1) by pat12. A rap about the greatest Halo 3 player ever. Made by skullkruncher13 and patfan8326. "We don't think we're any good at halo 3, we suck at it and we know it. Also we both love CoD and Halo, we just used the CoD line for the sake of a rhyme and some humor. We didn't expect it to spark WWIII" Thanks...

By therealsouthkorea Halo 3 Nintendo’s most sprawling, elegant, epic franchise comes to its most compact handheld hardware. And it’s a perfect fit. Link is back, this time plying pirate-wracked seas and exploring islands and delving into the dungeons of the Temple of the Ocean King — it’s amazing the multitud...

By Jim The book features Captain Keyes, Master Chief John-117 and Cortana. The end of the book includes a rescue of Sergeant Johnson. It also has a little bit of information about Orbital Drop Ship Troopers (ODST), which will be Bungie’s next Halo related video game (Halo 3: ODST). The book ends wit...

By bs angel Halo CE without a doubt. Halo 3 might have more options and all around better graphics and gameplay but the memories I have playing Halo CE can never be beaten. Unless they put some kind of Super Forge in Halo 3. If they do that then Halo CE can go screw itself.

By Dustin Burg Filed under: Microsoft Xbox 360, First Person ShootersAs part of their Penny Arcade Expo presence, team Bungie lifted the mysterious curtain on their latest Halo 3 multiplayer map called Purple Reign Assembly, giving PAX attendees a new map to frolic about in. But knowing that it isn't a...

By Leigh Alexander Imagine this: You designed missions and gameplay for Halo 3 alongside lead designer Jamie Griesemer at Bungie. After wrapping up one of the hugest hardcore smash successes of all time, what's your next move? Hang around to help continue the Halo franchise? Parlay your way into a choice ro...

By narcogen Tribute and Wake Me When You Need Me are where Bungie gets to eat its emotional cake and have it, too. Tribute brings the UNSC martial themes and the Arbiter's themes together as Lord Hood honors the fallen-- including the Master Chief-- and the Elites return home.

By bs angel Now in the Halo world (and all other games in the #4 category), whether you agree with me or not, the hardcore pro gamers are the ones that the folks at Bungie need to take care of the most. Yes that’s right, the pro gamers and avid multiplayers are your golden goose Bungie. We’re the ones who keep...

By James If you’ve been playing Halo 3 since it came out back in September, then you’ve probably mastered all the maps; you’ve learned the chokeholds, weapon locations, and strategies to get it all done in record time. But there are now about 5 million people with Halo 3, and while they’re getting us...

By Anonymous HALO sales never peaked on release, like the games it leant it's name to. In fact they got off modest ground. The sales of HALO 1 swelled, and they swelled on the basis of word of mouth. Both single and multiplayer aspects contributed, but... To underestimate the impact that it's supremely regard...

By ShadowOfTheVoid Regardless of whether they connect at random (like in Halo 2) or are guaranteed to hit (like in Halo 3), the very concept of the melee lunge is flawed. The best we could hope for in Halo 3 is that Bungie ditches the "who has more health" system and makes it to where if both players are weak enough t...

By narcogen This is the argument over Halo 2 all over again. When it was made over Halo 2, I suggested that while many things might be changed, that some of the essential parts of Halo 2's design that many fans of Halo 1 so objected to would very likely remain, because despite strenuous statements to the co...

By narcogen Halo 1 and Halo 2/3 play very differently. Halo 2 and 3 are obviously different from each other, but they play more similarly with each other than with Halo 1. Because different people will prefer different styles of play, there are strong contingents of players out there that love Halo 3 muc...

By narcogen Such as? I hardly think it's a perfect game. In fact, I've been accused of both nitpicking Halo 3 to death and being a Halo 3 apologist just in the few weeks since release. I just haven't begun my Halo 3 Impressions series yet to detail them because I need to "live with" the game for a bit longer, fi...

Now any person that has played any of the Halo games before would know that Halo is not really about campaign mode but rather about the multiplayer experience. Halo 3 is no different. When completing the campaign mode, which you can play with up to four player in co-op mode – insane? I know! - you are going to play this game for at least another three years as the vast amount of options available to you for system-link and online matches is to die for! Multiplayer options galore Halo 3 is a fresh breath of air, even if it is from the same franchise that revolutionised the FPS genre on console several years ago. “Don’t fix what ain’t broke,” seems to be what Bungie worked with, good for them.   [read the full post]

By Brian Crecente o Xbox 360 sales built upon its growth from last month, showing a 50 percent increase for the month of September selling an average of 105,600 consoles per week. Total sales were more than 528,000 Xbox 360 consoles sold, compared to 501,000 for Wii and 119,000 for PS3.

By Brian Ashcraft All considered, campaign, presentation, the replay mode, online/multiplayer/co-op modes, I'd give the game a solid 9.5/10 Single Player: Multiplayer: I hate when people refer Halo multiplayer as FAST PACED. Unreal Tournament is fast paced, Halo 3 feels like Doom. God, I hate Halo!

By Mark Wilson In a Best Buy promotional event, Microsoft is offering Halo 3 gamer pictures along with one theme for free for a "limited time." Here's our five second review: If you do download the theme, know that it's categorized under "Best Buy" and not "Halo 3."

By James The Beta gives players the chance to play through three multiplayer maps, with a number of Team Slayer and Team Skirmish gametypes, using most of the weapons and gadgets that will show up in the final product. I took on the Beta with a buddy from my Halo 2 days, and for the most part, we mopped up.

By George(finster@gmail.com) So, this past weekend, I finally got a Friends & Family invite into the Halo 3 Beta. I'm not gonna waste your time with a bunch of hyperbole. Let's cut the crap. Gather 'round kiddos, here's the Aeropause review (first of many, I'm sure) of the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta.
