I've really enjoyed the singleplayer for Halo 1 and 2. Multiplayer is great but I refuse to pay for XBL, and from what I've heard it's just a bunch of little kids playing anyways.

Does Halo 3 have good singleplayer? I bought an Xbox to play the original Halo. Halo 2 is the only Xbox game I ever bought new (I usually wait a little while and buy games preowned). If Halo 3 is worth it I might buy a 360 to play it.

I wasn't impressed with Halo 3.

We still play Halo 1 online with Kai links.

Halo 3s singleplayer in unrmarkable. It is the multiplayer that Halo 3 really shines in, there are a few really nice maps and a ton of new features and customizations for them. But I am not sure how fun the multiplayer would be with only 4 players (max) it is pretty fun with XBL though.

Halo 3 campaign I would say is probably worth playing through once, but the replay value isn't very high.

Halo makes me wanna have a 360

I would agree totally witht hat if I didn't already have a 360. Halo 1 was however the only reason I got an Xbox (original). Best game I had played up to that point, or at least the most addicting.

The single player for halo 3 is pretty decent. But like everyone else has said the multi-player is where it's at! I'm a huge Halo fan so I recommend it

i really like the halo3 single player. i think maybe im the only one, but it was my fav single player campaign of the 3. it was just so awesomely cinematic. and the fact that it records you playing, and you can go back and watch yourself play the entire single player campaign and multiplayer matches from any camera perspective is just incredible

You can still play Halo and Halo 2 on the xbox 360 (No X-Link Kai though ;_;)

Halo 3 is only worth owning if you have XBL.
The single player if fun, and co-operative is good too but the multi-player is where the awesome is at.

"I've heard it's just a bunch of little kids playing anyways."
Whoever you heard that from, they must have something wrong with them to complain about that.
Yes there are quite a few little kids playing but most of them are noobs, noobs are fun to pwn and there's always the mute option if they have team speak. I know this little kid who is quite skilled, a legit general.

You really have to experience it for yourself.
If you have a friend with a 360, XBL, Halo 3 and a spare controller, just ask him/her to load you in as a guest one day and play some social. They'll know what you're talking about. You can make up your mind then, or just spend every weekend at your friends house, nightmarishly addicted to the Halo 3 online multi-player experience.

That's true. I think I'm too busy ATM for XBL anyways though.

I bought the 360 solely for Halo 3(although there are lots of other good games for it) and still play it to this day. Singleplayer isn't the best of the series, but multiplayer more than makes up for it.

what's this game???

show some pictures

Ok Halo 3 has a great multiplayer and co-op experience. As for the campaign - I beat it twice and have to do it a third time for the damn achievements and it is now a chore to me. The best part about Halo is the Tea-bagging of your enemies. The multiplayer is endless hours of fun but......

Gears of War / Gears of War 2 is where it is at. I will take gears over Halo any day.

A lot of people are on COD4 nuts - while it is a great game I find Veteran mode to be frustrating at points and not a big fan of dying 5 seconds into multiplayer and the leveling up system they have.
