		<description>Bones,

First off, thanks for the comment. This was the first time we attempted to do a tandem review, and while the score on the single player version of the game was low, I make it a point to never strong arm any of my writers into changing their opinion of a game or their score.

That said, Andrew who reviewed the multiplayer, absolutely loved it, (hence the 10). I understand that many fans of the series may be upset with the score of the single player, and even the overall score which was averaged out based on a discussion between the two writers, both explaining their sides.

Please understand that with the magnitude of this game and the amount of hype behind it, we wanted to dedicate two people to the review.

Rob, who has been a fan of the series for many years, was disappointed, and I find it hard to believe that he was the minority. Andrew, more of a casual player when it comes to the Halo franchise thoroughly enjoyed the multiplayer.

In the end, I support their reviews and stand behind the final score of the game. If you are a die hard Halo fanatic, then it is probably safe to assume you were somewhat let down with the single player mode, and if you love multiplayer, this game will rock your socks off.

		<description>i think by saying "halo is disappointing" you actually meant "halo is phenomenal and I am jaded and hard to please."

For anyone who plays this game alone, your experience isn’t going to be as rich.  Because really, you didn't play Halo 3 the way it was meant to be played.

Halo has always been about rocking the covenant with someone else at your side or killing that very same companion in multiplayer.  How great is it to flank some brutes while your best friend is laying down suppressing fire?  One time, to take out a Wraith that was pulverizing us when we got close, I stood on the wing of my buddy’s ghost as he sped me up to it. I jumped off, boarded it and beat it down.  It was an amazing feeling that couldn’t have been felt in single player.

For you guys who finished the game in under 8 then you played it too easy of a difficulty level.  If you took the time to notice the descriptions of the difficulty levels Bungie basically makes you feel like a little girl if you play the campaign on anything less than heroic or legendary.

I will give you this: the story was almost incoherent and master chief if about the least charismatic protagonist in video game history.  But it wasn't as bad as the story from Gears of War.  Gears of War was like 5 year olds doing improv.</description>

		<description>Oh it wasn't that bad.  There is always a humble truth at the core of any interesting mystery.

Can I ask exactly what you were expecting ?. 

It's a solidly fleshed out storyline with a reasonable pace with a few decent concepts and even the odd twist.  

I personally found the storyline of the lesser but still prominently hyped Bioshock more disappointing.  

Of course there are other games which put both Bioshock and Halo 3 back on the shelf.</description>

		<description>the story was yes... really damn bad... but the game play was tight and in co op damned fun when played on the apropriate difficulty and ofcourse decently skilled players.  halo is full of hiden gems that ammaze you while on the front it stinks of crappy writing.  i dont know how 3 full time employees worked on that AND one was a MANAGER.

looking at the halo 3 marketing one can only get even madder about the lack of a halo story.</description>

		<description>Ok dude well lets look at your thoughts here.....first off your right about one thing we will be seeing master cheif again in halo 4 and either the forerunners or the third race who created the flood to combat the forerunners as a biological weapon..and if you were to actually listen to the rambles of cortana and the Gravemeinf they hint on some very big things about cheifs future and past.....and yes trying playing halo 3 on legendary with all the skulls activated......if you think that sucks then just stop bashing halo 3</description>

		<description>What!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes it will not change the FPS world but it is an excellent game, I don't remember the last game I enjoyed this much. Not even Bioshock.
And I agree on the multiplayer part, the best one ever.
Try finishing the game on legendary.</description>

		<description>right so...
one of the view fitting reviews of an overhyped game. 
halo simply is a disappointment. the first one made me buy a xbox, the second was ....um....playable..but halo 3 just sucks...after playing the campain for about three hours ( coop) we were close to sinking the game down the toilet. unplayable with more than one coop partner..weapon sounds are lame, graphically the same as halo 2 (just hd this time around) and a story that could be created by every drunk nerd in just the same time it takes to drown a couple of beers..
halo sucks</description>

		<description>Nice! Its good to see a seperate review for the campiagn, as a lot of players like me end up playing just the campaign. Also, you have reviewed it without any bias. After all its just a game. Nothing New!</description>

		<description>I haven't finished it quite yet, but it seems like it will be rather short.  It's a good game, but true, there's not much storyline.  After all the junk that happened in Halo 2, there's hardly any unfolding story going on here.  Come on Bungie, you've had almost 3 years here.</description>

		<description>halo 3 felt like more of the same only in HD.  Multiplayer is fun but most def not enough new maps or big maps.  And what is with the 12 player limit in matchmaking?  EA understands what its like to devolve a franchise.  Now that Peter Moore is at EA, did he pass the notes on to Bungie?  Last time I checked, H2 had a 16 player limit in matchmaking.

I'm also a bit concerned over Bungies answers to the ongoing issues with H3.  They appear to be arrogant asses knowing that everyone bought there game so it must be perfect and they no longer have anyone to answer to.  Kind of like  M$ customer service.

I hope Nintendo busts out a true next gen system in 5 years.</description>
