By Bill Baer There’s nothing quite like losing your mind in the futuristic battles of Halo 3, or the jam sessions with Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello in Guitar Hero. It’s almost as good as immersing yourself completely into the baseball ...

It's supposed to be a cliffhanger, if anything, leaving Master Chief and Cortana floating in space (about to crash on an alien world) at the end of Halo 3 is worse because Bungie was saying Halo was done. Endings aside, I'm not surprise ...

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 Peaking Legoman Interestingly enough, Bungie has stated this week that production on Halo 3: Recon has only been underway for a few months now, so it's not surprising then that the release of the game is slated for November 2009. Bungie admitted that this is the fastest development period they have ever at...

By Chris Pereira Multiplayer will support four-player online co-op (is this perhaps the squad element we've heard about in the past?), new maps, and "full" Forge options. It's unclear if that means Recon will support all of the Forge functionality from Halo 3 or if Bungie will be implementing new feature...

By literarydeadkittens Having finally gotten to the end of Halo 2, I've been left on a cliffhanger, wanting Halo 3. Trouble is, Halo 3 was developed exclusively for the Xbox 360, a machine that was churned out with flashy reviews and substandard parts and which I have no intention of possessing. EVER!

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 narcogen You know Captain Spark. The guy who records all those audio snippets from Halo games? Yeah, that's him. He's weighed in now with a review of Halo 3's campaign. He starts by getting two beefs of his chest (the over-aggressive Arbiter and the so-called "Cortana Moments") before getting to what...

By adnan Story:- The story of Halo 3 revolves heavily around Master Chief and rightly so due to the injustice he received in Halo 2 from his Covenant counterpart The Arbiter. While not spoiling anything, the story is definitely told in a way ...

By Gus(noreply@blogger.com) I've been trying to figure out which part of Halo 3 to review. The single-player story, which I blew through in a day, is the traditional answer. But I've never really been all that enamored with the campaigns. Never even finished the second one. But then NeoGAF user Crush posted the above pictu...

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 7th Columnist What Halo 2 Did Put simply, in Halo 2, whoever threw the first melee won. Sounds perfect, right? Not quite. The Halo 3 "Fix" The Fatal Flaw The Nitty Gritty YMMV, etc. The moral: when in doubt, check the host's film, because latency still matters. Just a whole lot less than Halo 2.

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 narcogen Back onto the jumping I fail to see how the technique of leaping around people to evade and attack them is a point of contention though. Especially if the jump were made reasonable. HALO 3 is an odd beast. It goes from one acknowledgement of momentum to the other. Weight and momentum were account...

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 Anonymous You call it good design? So was HALO 2 1.0 good design too? With it's 6 hit beat-downs? Is there anything Bungie does that you don't semantically excuse? Which beat down is best? HALO 1? HALO 2 ver 1.0? 1.2? HALO 3? Oh, there's a way to explain the genius of them all right? Not. To reiterate: The dens...

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.

By Compton Oh how fun it is to delve into the age old "If Halo 1 would only have my children debate".

The Halo 3 multiplayer is what makes this game worth $60. Otherwise you might go through the campaign a few times on your own and then sell it on ebay.

By Maggie Greene It's nothing that hasn't been noted in a million blog posts over the years, but in an op-ed piece in the New York Times, Daniel Radosh is saying it again.

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!

But with the game now available in stores, now it's time to tell us what you think of the game. Here's the deal, we're using the honor system, but I'd lik...

By Mark Wilson Eurogamer IGN Let's get the Arbiter clear. He's the bad ass "Chief" of the Elites. He should be able to handle his own. In the campaign, the Arbiter and Master Chief are BFF.

By astrotriforce In 2007, Halo is easily one of the biggest video game franchises of all time. The soon-to-be-released third game in the series, Halo 3, is being marketed as if it was a big-budget summer flick, and Microsoft is expecting sales of Halo 3 to surpass $155 million, which would shatter Spider-Ma...

If the words Master Chief elicit looks of pure joy and awe, as well as a 30-minute conversation with a gamer, it’s a good bet that gamer has spent the last 12 days playing the "Halo 3 Beta."

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 Mike Fahey On this, the five year anniversary of the release of the original Halo, Bungie has unleashed a storm of Halo news in honor of the newly christened Halo Day!
