Halo threads bring out the worse in people : ( My opinion is that halo is awesome, and all these people saying that it's gone on for too long, and they should stop making them are abit daft. Mario is still going after 20years or so? look how many final fantasy games there've been, or even Call of Duty which has around 5 games, without including expansions. The more support the better i feel : )

Well, make a thread about Halo with a subtitle like "Halo is spelled H A L O" and you'll have maximus and minions writing about dead horses and punctuation.
Now compare it with other "milked franchises" like: "NFS is going to have 256 online players"... who the fuck cares???! Halo franchise *is* important. Like it. Or not. |

Are we talking gaming franchises or just all franchises? Because if we're just talking franchises in the world, no game is in the top 10.

Why do people attack Bungie for ‘milking’ the Halo franchise, when they have had three games spanning two consoles. The extra content for Halo 3 should be applauded because it is still supporting the online community 2 years after a release, when compared to franchises like COD which get dropped once the yearly installation has been dropped into the marketplace this should be seen as the sign of a developer who truly cares, and I don’t use that word lightly.
I use nothing lightly, except for margarine, and that is only when I oil myself up to get into air vents, sliding through the cool breeze watching people work below me is so exhilarating. |

Woah! Halo 3 is not diluted at all, it defies belief how anyone can call it that!

Because it's one of the biggest franchises and therefore grabs a lot of negative attention. Most normal people would love to see more Halo. Don't pay attention to the haters, as they clearly have no affect on sales or how good the games are. Halo lives on with or without them. |

I only pay attention to them to keep them alive, they would fade away into insignificance and probably cut themselves in dark rooms if it were not for a bit of internet based vitriolic diatribes. People’s dislike of a game does not really bother me as only my opinion matters in terms of taste, I always find amusement in the outrage that surrounds review scores as irrational fools vent their blackened spleens trough clouds of idiocy based upon someone else opinion, it tends to show that person is not very confident, as why do you feel the need to be backed up by anyone? It’s not a physical brawl where you need back-up.
That said I’d much rather smoke crack with others then cut my eyeballs out on my own so there you go. |

Bungie want to move on you can feel it but they're probably contractually obliged to hang around for another couple of years...
not exactly conducive towards creativity and enthusiasm... IMO MS need to move on... Halo's old now we need a 'new' super game that isn't actually tied to the 'Halo' brand. |

The excitement of playing Halo for the first time has not been replicated for me.Halo 2 provided years of fun in multiplayer and 3 continues in that tradition.But in SP,no game has given me that Halo CE feeling.By the way guys and gals,what is going on with all the corporate lovey-dovey that some posters seem to spout here with an apparent complete lack of irony?I'm relatively new around here,but in what world do Sony,Microsoft and Nintendo give a monkeys nut about any of us?On the plus side they make really nice shiny toys to play with.

Halo 3 perfected the genre of first person shooting. No other game EVER made boasts the intricate depth and attention to detail offered by Halo 3. The physics engine blows the mind. Unfortunately, you have a lot of n00bs who suck and 'burn through the campaign on easy' and wonder what the fuss is about. They don't deserve to play such a game.
