    idk what is so great about this game, i mean, isnt it just another Halo game or am i missing something? I mean MGS4 is going to be so much better than Halo that its embarrassing to microsoft and COD4 is better than Halo 3. So whats up with this?

    Halo is honestly an overall bad game. It is immensely overrated and the game play is less than mediocre.

    This is still amazing 3months on completed it on normal, heroic and legendary wow that was hard. Some of the cut scenes still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, especiallly from the end of "floodgate" to the beginning of "the ark". Watched it loads of times the Farthest Outpost music is awesome. Got the soundtrack for xmas as well as the faceplate and calendar.

    Nothing touches this for atmosphere, musical score and a sense of emotional achievement i get playing it, now it sounds soppy but i was close to tears when the final credits closed and the last cutscene played out because that was it the end, no more. Reading the fifth book to appease my appetite. So stop reading and get fragging people. Once again Thanx BUNGIE!

    I am 14 and I have finshed halo 3 on legendary and I think that in some cases it is repetitive but it is not a boring repetitive it is a very fun one and an awsome game. but for game of the year it is going to be close between halo 3 and cod4
