    Halo 3 on PC is an absolutely fantastic experience that is undermined a tiny bit by some unfortunate graphical glitches.

    We all know that halo 3 is a masterpiece but how good does it run on PC? Well, it runs great. If you still haven't played this game then now is one of the best times to do so, at 4k if you have the hardware.

Idk I couldn’t follow, story isn’t halo strong suit, but what is its strong suit this time isjust how fun it actually is to play… this felt like a modern doom game… halo as a series still has its issues of just unfun driving sections and horrible progress indicators.. though they seem to have at least tried by sometimes putting markers on the screen for you… but not nearly enough, as the I have no idea what im supposed to be doing thought hit my mind a handful of times during my 6 hours run through this campaign.. but im happy to say the rest of this game is so good, especially compared to its predicessors and reach.. the weapons this time feel so hectic and fun to balance through.. for the first time in halo history I got to know the guns and feel like my loadout actually mattered, and things do ocassinally get repeettive, but the campaign felt much more varied, I loved the level design and splash of character and life in some of these levels.. and the focus on master chief.. no character switching here..
    I was losing hope for this series, but halo 3 got my hopes back up and im excited to play through the rest of the series this year,

    To be honest, I played this game with some high expectations because it's always said: "it's the best Halo game ever!". And... it's overrated.

    The skill thing they brought in is confusing, nothing is really explained to you and you have to learn how some of them work on the fly. The story is very good, as usual, the graphics too, and the maps aren't as good as Halo 2. Guns are... OK?

    The bad thing is that towards the ending of the game they just somehow "force" a Halo 1 reprise by making you blow up the same thing again - and then the experience become as boring as Halo 1 was. Corridors, control rooms, blow stuff, well... that ending was sufferable to play through.

    But it has more highs than downs so it's still a good game, just overrated.    … Expand

    Halo 3 is a masterpiece, and I only have two gripes with it: the mission Cortana and the gameplay aging a bit. I think all Halo fans know that Cortana is a terrible mission marred by so many of the problems with the flood, and the gameplay aging is a given considering it's a 15-year-old game. That all being said, Halo 3 still remains incredibly fun.

I struggle to recall moments when the game copy/pastes areas like in Halo CE. The game manages to have strong hallway fights while also providing tons of great open areas. In terms of level design in a shooter, Halo 3 is one of the absolute best of the best in my experience. The campaign for Halo 3 is another strong point. Every single mission except for one is a quality mission in my opinion. Halo 3 also manages a surprising amount of locational variety. The whole campaign is just amazing, I cannot recommend it enough. Lastly, this is the first Halo game released on 7th generation consoles, and in my opinion, the visuals still hold up. While faces and bodies don't look amazing and the graphical quality is obviously old, the visuals of space battles, faraway locations, and the starry skies still remain beautiful. I cannot recommend this game enough, it is a masterpiece.… Expand

Another battles on vehicles reminded QUAKE 4, although there it was 2-3 times. Even guns are not reset to the default machine gun and pistol, as it was in Halo 1, 2, 5... Even this game does not need running. The chief moves normally for this game. Well, 343disabled people didn't find anything better than to turn these stupid decoys into enemies for Halo Infinite.

    Compared to its 2 previous titles, this game is mediocre, but as an fps, it’s an amazing game, and there wasn’t a single part that felt repetitive for me, unlike halo ce, and there wasn’t many feelings of unfairness, like halo 2. But everything both of those games did good, halo 3 did slightly worse on.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo 3 neredeyse her yönüyle çok iyi bir Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunu. Halo 3'ün hikayesi Halo Combat Evolved ve Halo 2'nin devam ettirdiği hikayeyi sonlandırıyor. Hikayeyi anlatmaya başlayayım. 2. oyunun sonunda savaşı bitirmek için dünyaya atlayan Master Chief, yere düşmenin etkisiyle baygın bir şekilde Çavuş Avery Johnson ve Arbiter tarafından bulunur. Hemen iyileşen ve ayağa kalkan Master Chief, dünyaya gelen Covenantlara karşı savaşmaya başlar. Covenantlar ve insanlar arasında geçen savaş sırasında Miranda Keyes, Master Chief'e Covenant hava savunmalarını devre dışı bırakmasını söyler. Sistemlerin devre dışı kalmasıyla bir çeşit portal da oluşur. Ayrıca 2. oyunda Master Chief ve Arbiter'a yardımcı olan Gravemind, Master Chief'in ona Cortana'yı bırakmasından sonra kontrolden çıkmış ve bir Covenant bölgesini işgal etmiştir, ayrıca Cortana'yı da elinde tutmaktadır. Cortana'nın Flood gemisine bıraktığı mesajın tespit edilmesi ve Guilty Spark'ın yönlendirmesi ile Master Chief, Arbiter, Keyes, Johnson ve askeri birlikler portal üzerinden Covenent önderini takip ederler. Portaldan geçtikten sonra "Ark" adı verilen eşsiz bir yapı keşfedilir. Bu yapıdan tüm Haloların aynı anda aktif edilmesi mümkündür. Ancak Covenant önderinin bu yapıyı aktif edebilmesi için bir insana ihtiyacı vardır. Covenant önderi Johnson'ı yakalar ve Keyes onu kurtarmaya çalışırken öldürülür, daha sonra Halolar zorla Johnson'a aktif ettirilir. Gravemind, Arbiter ve Master Chief ile arasındaki savaşı durdurmak için Johnson'ı kurtarıp Haloların çalışmasını engeller. Daha sonra Arbiter, Covenant önderini öldürür ve intikamını almış olur, ardından Gravemind yeniden Arbiter ve Master Chief'e saldırmaya başlar. Master Chief'in daha önce yok ettiği Halo'nun yerine Ark'ın yeni bir tane daha oluşturduğu öğrenilir. Master Chief bu yeni Halo'yu aktif etmek ister, böylece Ark'taki Flood istilası da son bulacaktır. Bunu yapabilmek için Master Chief, Halo'nun aktivasyon indeksine sahip olan Cortana'yı High Charity'den kurtarır ve Gravemind'ı yok eder. Master Chief, Arbiter ve Johnson Halo'yu etkinleştirmek için aktivasyon odasına gelir. Johnson'ın Halo'yu etkinleştireceği sırada Guilty Spark ona Halo etkinleştirilirse kendisinin ve Ark'ın yok olacağını söyler. Johnson bunu dinlemez ve bunun üzerine Guilty Spark, Johnson'ı öldürür. Daha sonra Guilty Spark ile savaşan Master Chief onu yok eder ve Halo'yu etkinleştirir. Master Chief ve Arbiter kaçarak bir uzay gemisine binerler. Halo'nun patlamasının etkisi ile yalnızca geminin Arbiter'ı taşıyan kısmı dünyaya geri dönebilir. Görevini tamamlayan Master Chief, uykuya dalacağı yere geçerken kendisine onu özleyeceğini söyleyen Cortana'ya "ihtiyacın olduğunda beni uyandır" der ve oyunun hikayesi sonlanır. Oyunun hikayesi ilk iki oyunda olduğu gibi bu oyunda da kaliteli ve sürükleyici. Hikaye sunumu da geliştirilmiş. Ara sahnelerdeki animasyonlar güzel hazırlanmış ve aynı şekilde dizaynları da çok güzel, bunlar sunumu güçlendirmiş. Ancak oyunun hikayesi ile ilgili en büyük eksiklik oyunun finali, maalesef final çok güçsüz ve oyun bittiğinde "bu final mıydı yani" diyerek ekrana bakakaldım. Hikayesi ile evreni bu kadar derin ve geniş olan bir oyunun finalinin bu şekilde olması üzücü oldu. Oynanış olarak oyun yine iyi ve yine geliştirmeler var. Fizik motoru daha da geliştirilmiş ve vuruş hissi güçlendirilmiş. Mesela artık zırhı hasar alan düşman askerlerinin zırhı parçalanıp üzerinden çıkabiliyor. Silah, araç ve düşman çeşitliliği de artmış. Yeni düşman tipleriyle birlikte yeni enerji ve ateşli silah türleri, bir de "Gravtiy Hammer" isminde bir yakın dövüş silahı eklenmiş. Gravity Hammer'ın bugüne kadar oyunlarda kullandığım en iyi ve kullanması en keyifli yakın dövüş silahı olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Bu silahın vuruş hissiyatı o kadar güçlü ki bir düşman grubunun arasına dalıp ateş etme tuşuna bastığınızda bir anda etrafınızdaki herkesin sağa sola uçtuğunu görebilirsiniz. Ayrıca Chopper, Hornet ve Prowler gibi yeni kullanılabilir birkaç araç daha oyuna eklenmiş, ancak maalesef araç kontollerindeki problem bu oyunda da devam ediyor. Ayrıca "Scarab Tank" adında devasa ancak kullanılamayan bir düşman aracı da oyuna eklenmiş. Bölüm tasarımı olarak oyun kesinlikle başarılı, bölümlerin hepsi gerçekten çok güzel tasarlanmış ve harika görünüyorlar, özellikle Arbiter ile birlikte Warthdog'a binip kaçtığımız bölüm çok iyiydi. Oyunun grafikleri çok kötü olmasa da günümüz için eski, ancak önceki oyunlarda olan performans sorunları bu oyunda çözülmüş, oyun gayet stabil. Oyunda herhangi bir hataya da rastlamadım. Halo 3 bazı eksikleri olsa da çok kaliteli bir oyun.… Expand

    This is, by a considerable margin, the best game in the series. As a sum of its parts, none of the Halo shooters come quite close enough. Individual parts though, do in some cases fall behind - Halo 2 has better story, characters and delivery, etc.

As a sum of its parts, none of the Halo shooters come quite close enough. Individual parts though, do in some cases fall behind - Halo 2 has better story, characters and delivery, etc.

    However, Halo 3 is definitely, despite its shortcomings, deserving of the title of a classic, and you should definitely experience it if you have not already.

    Graphically, the game is not from technical standpoint, better than its contemporaries - in fact, it falls behind a bit in technical regard. However, it is very much distinct - not only for its unmistakable Halo style, but also, at the time this game came out, we were already entering the brown'n'grey era of shooters/games, and the fresh color palette of this game would definitely make it more distinct. Not so much nowadays when things are more colorful, but historically, credit has to be given. This should also be a remaster with improved graphics, sort of, but the upgrade is not even close to being as significant as it was for the first two games and it is very close to the original.

    Sound design and music are great. Truth be told, I don't think I've played a mainline Halo game with bad music. Halo 2 remaster breaks the mold a bit by having crap sound design / engineering, but the music is still good. Anyways, considering how many shooters often neglect their soundtrack and stick to some generic, low effort, low cost stuff, praise for good music is well deserved in Halo 3's case.

    Story wise, as mentioned, the game drops off from Halo 2 level of quality, some more cringy jokes and other stupid crap returns to ruin- I mean, lighten the mood. Eyerolls aside though, there is a twist with one of the characters by the end that I don't understand. It wasn't surprising, it was The Last Jedi levels of writing - subverting expectations by having characters act like lobotomized lemurs and making decisions so bad the word ret*rded does them no justice. The character wasn't exactly well written for what they are supposed to be in previous games, nor throughout this one to be honest, but this last moment of theirs was just terrible, really out of place, and went against pretty much everything the character did up to that point, as well as completely against their nature (or as far as could be gleaned throughout the games).

    Gameplay wise though, it's one of the most fun games in the series, if not the best in the gameplay department. It finally manages to get the flood mostly right - it still slips into a bit of a slog in some moments in later stages, but still manages to hold back quite far from Halo 2 and especially Halo CE. The combat feels great, the weapons work well based on their type, the enemies are, for the most part, fun to fight, and if all goes to crap, you can always pick up an energy blade and cut some crap up.

    I have to say though, vehicle controls and physics remained distinctly crap, as is usual for Halo. But just because you do something badly for years does not mean you should be exempt from criticism for it - quite the opposite to be honest.

    Anyways, the game was fun enough for me to just finish it in two sessions, and I'll probably give it another shake a couple months from now. Definitely recommend to - anyone really. Even if first person shooters aren't your main thing, you'll have fun with this one, I think.    … Expand

    Yet, this is my favorite halo game so far for having the best online and co-op and online co-op and it's pretty fun specially the end of the game mission is the best mission I've ever played on the whole halo series.
    But they didn't add more languages support yet as an example the Arabis language needs to be added but they didn't add it

    Esta coleção abrangente reúne todos os principais jogos da série, desde o icônico Halo: Combat Evolved até o épico Halo 4, em uma única e conveniente compilação. Como jogador, posso afirmar que a The Master Chief Collection é uma verdadeira celebração da jornada do Master Chief e uma experiência incrível para os fãs.

    Uma das maiores vantagens de Halo: The Master Chief Collection é a    Esta coleção abrangente reúne todos os principais jogos da série, desde o icônico Halo: Combat Evolved até o épico Halo 4, em uma única e conveniente compilação. Como jogador, posso afirmar que a The Master Chief Collection é uma verdadeira celebração da jornada do Master Chief e uma experiência incrível para os fãs.

    Uma das maiores vantagens de Halo: The Master Chief Collection é a oportunidade de reviver os jogos clássicos em todo o seu esplendor remasterizado. Os gráficos foram aprimorados e atualizados, tornando os ambientes e personagens ainda mais impressionantes do que antes. A atenção aos detalhes é evidente em cada cenário, capturando a essência dos jogos originais enquanto oferece uma qualidade visual moderna e envolvente.

    A jogabilidade de cada jogo da coleção é tão sólida e empolgante quanto eu me lembrava. Os controles são precisos e responsivos, proporcionando uma experiência de tiro em primeira pessoa excepcional. Cada jogo tem sua própria identidade e mecânicas únicas, desde a combinação de veículos e tiroteios estratégicos de Halo 2 até o combate frenético e vertical de Halo 4. A jogabilidade clássica de Halo continua cativante e divertida, tanto para os veteranos quanto para os novos jogadores.

    Outro destaque da The Master Chief Collection é o multiplayer online. O jogo traz uma ampla variedade de modos de jogo competitivos e cooperativos, permitindo aos jogadores mergulharem em batalhas épicas com amigos e outros jogadores ao redor do mundo. A progressão do jogador e a personalização do personagem adicionam uma camada adicional de profundidade ao multiplayer, incentivando a exploração e a diversidade de estilos de jogo. Além disso, o suporte contínuo e as atualizações fornecidas pela 343 Industries demonstram o compromisso em manter a comunidade engajada e oferecer uma experiência multiplayer de alta qualidade.

    O aspecto mais impressionante de Halo: The Master Chief Collection é a quantidade de conteúdo disponível. Além dos quatro principais jogos da série, a coleção inclui todos os mapas multiplayer e DLCs lançados, bem como a adição do aclamado modo de campanha de Halo 3: ODST. Isso significa que há uma infinidade de horas de jogo disponíveis, tanto para a campanha solo quanto para a diversão multiplayer.    … Expand

    Halo CE - This game has a good story (Reminds me a little bit of the second alien movie), the gameplay is so frustrating at the same time fun, the enemies is intelligent, make you think twice before doing something.

    Halo CE -

    This game has a good story (Reminds me a little bit of the second alien movie), the gameplay is so frustrating at the same time fun, the enemies is intelligent, make you think twice before doing something. It is only the beginning of a wonderful saga.

    Halo 2 -

    This game is pretty good, the story has amazing dialogue, and memorable characters. I really love the elites most in this game, they make you feel better than everyone else.

    Halo 3 -

    This game has one of the best campaigns in the series. I really love the graphics and design, as well as the gameplay. Is the epic conclusion for a epic story.

    Halo ODST -

    Is different, you're not a super soldier and the feeling of being alone is desolate, manages to perfectly capture how it would be to be facing the Covenant as a non-spartan.

    Halo Reach -

    The story, characters, and settings are all vastly interesting. Halo Reach reminds me Rogue One: a story that connects everything we knew about our heroes.

    Halo 4 -

    Incredible graphics, art styles, and a great storyline make the game very fun to play. This game dives into the bond between Chief and Cortana in a fantastic manner. 343 did a really good job with this game, considering it was their first.    … Expand

    Halo 3 has finally made it to Halo: Master Chief Collection. Long awaited and coveted as the culmination of one; Master Chief Petty Officer, Spartan II, John 117. The game is not a remake, or a reskin, like Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2 Anniversaries respectively. It’s simply a port of the game to the ever growing archive that is MMC.

    Como joguei ja nas versões remasterizadas eu senti muita falta das cutscenes refeitas do 2 pois elas ficaram belissimas, achei falta de capricho não remasterizarem de todos os jogos.
    Mas tirando isso houve uma evolução grafica no jogo em todos os aspectos, modelos, armas, inimigos, expressões e cenários.

    ---== História ==--
    Manteve a mesma pegada do anterior, com uma boa historia e as otimas interações da cortana com o chief.
    Ainda prefiro do jogo anterior, mas pode ser que tenha me apegado as cutscenes cinematograficas(remaster) do 2 que dao uma imersão muito diferente.
    Mas que final srs... Recomendo muito a trilogia!

    ---== Gameplay ==--
    Pra mim houve uma evolução MUITO grande nesse jogo, finalmente senti que eu estava evoluindo nos cenarios, explorando e avançando.
    O jogo ainda é sobre ordas de inimigos, mas eles não parecem mais ser soltos em uma pequeno espaço. O cenario é bem organico com a quantidade de inimigos e faz sentido com o contexto da missao.
    A parte de gunplay melhorou bastante, a armas começaram a ter "peso" na hora de atirar e cada arma tem uma sensação diferente nos inimigos
    Não sou expert em jogos de tiro ou nada do tipo, mas é gritante a evolução da gameplay de um jogo para outro.

    ---== Resumo ==--
    Diferente dos anteriores que gostei da história mas tinha achado a gameplay repetitiva, neste eu me diverti do começo ao fim, terminando com vontade de jogar mais.    … Expand

    Halo 3 is my favorite game. Everything in it is perfect.
    The graphics are pumped up from the Xbox 360, there is no monotony, spacious and monotonous locations, and the best gameplay and the best soundtrack in games in my opinion. The developers were told to make a masterpiece without the old mistakes and they did. It's a must-have, just like the first and second installments, and Halo:Reach too.
