Halo 3 is the best game in the MCC

Sprungli · November 20, 2014, 02:54:33 PM

Seriously, it's buttery smooth, the lighting is gorgeous, the fact the guns utilise the impulse triggers fixes the original's emptiness and the elimination of the shitty netcode means online is glorious (when the MCC itself works that is). It actually looks better than H2A IMO, whilst the graphics are clearly inferior everything has so much more stuff and the quality and scale of everything is far greater

Replaying it now, Halo 3 was one of the worst.

It hasn't really aged well in 7 years.

Halo 2, Halo 2A, and CE are better.

Well if you want to be a pessimist about it all, then yes, everything sucks and isn't fun because that's the way you feel. That doesn't mean your opinion is anymore valid, of course.

Forge sucked? Funny, I remember tons of amazing pictures, maps, sets for Machinima, and such made from it. While it might've been clunky in Halo 3, it was still great for the time and purpose.

A community-made game that was finicky and based on trust, being made into an official gametype with many various options that allowed for countless thousands to play without worry of having to rule over the lobby and gave countless hours of fun is "meh"? There's your opinion, then there's the reality that it was a great thing.

The Hornet is nothing agile, as was intended. There's no real difficulty in flying it though.

"Useless"

Compared to Halo 4 and Reach, yes, it was great. Elites haven't had the same level of customization since, and overall it allowed many options that had to be earned.

Yes

depends if you're on dedicated servers or P2P. Even on P2P it's not as bad as Halo 3's OG days. I've only noticed the occassional blood shot. ARs seem a lot better now that it registers more.

Halo 3 really wasn't that good.

Mr. Admirals · November 20, 2014, 04:04:03 PM

Plot Holes: The Game wasn't really that good.

As I said in another thread, in the Master Chief's Journey, that jump from Halo 2 to Halo 3 was painful gameplay wise. The precision weapon spread is just awful too.

月 · November 20, 2014, 04:04:28 PM

Halo 3 was the highlight of the series. All other Halo games are rubbish in comparison.
Halo 2 was the worst game to feature MC and Halo 4 is shortly after it. Halo CE is the second best.

Halo 3 had some of the best visuals and gunplay out of them all. Halo 2 was filled with bugs and hacks and some of the most horrible online latency have ever seen. Halo 3 was the best of the series, Halo CE right behind it. Halo 4 was great in terms of the engine but the gunplay and overall gameplay was almost as bad as Halo 2.

Why are you demeriting Assassin's comment on its subjectivity while responding with adjectives like "great," "meh," and "horrible?"

I do it myself every now and then. When I use it, I use it for two reasons:

1. To remind the poster the points they're making aren't law (obvious and redundant)

2. To explain why I'm not going to address those points

Interesting; I would say 3 had the worst gunplay because of how hollow and useless most weapons felt, playing 2 and 4 gives you a feeling of power but also of vulnerability, kill times against you are very quick.
