    While Halo 3's single-player story is slightly bland and basic it makes up for it with extremely immersive and fun gameplay complimented by an incredible musical score.

    By far the best online gaming experience I have ever enjoyed. This game in its prime is only rivaled by modern warfare 2. Although Halo 2 is often praised as the best game in the franchise, I found this game to bring the most joy and ENDLESS entertainment. Games like this one deserve an 11.

    One of the best halo games for sure. Amazing music. Great visuals. Classic halo game play. The introduction of a map editor, theater system, and file sharing was great.

    Sadly... Some things keep it from getting a 9. I wont give a 10 because NO game ever reaches perfection. But a 8 is fair because well... The level Cortana is complete trash in the campaign.

    Sadly... Some things keep it from getting a 9. I wont give a 10 because NO game ever reaches perfection. But a 8 is fair because well...

    The level Cortana is complete trash in the campaign. Probably the worst mission in any halo game. Maybe even worse than some of the crappiest halo 4/halo 5 missions. Also the parts where chief hallucinates cortana in pain are a real bummer. Just put that stuff in a skipable cut scene please. It sort of makes the game boring...

    Some story elements don't make any sense just like in many halo games... For example why doesn't the gravemind kill the chief and arby when he has the chance? Stuff like that is just retarded...

    Multiplayer maps are hit or miss in this game. Maps like guardian are good even though it feels like another lock out basically. But then you got totally crappy maps like high ground where if one team controls the high ground they will easily win. Unfair design... Or maps like isolation, snow bound, or epitaph which are just boring as heck in design and cater to camper trash. Maps like narrows are not so bad but still suffer from players being easily able to spawn kill people and lets get real here... It's just a bridge lol. Not the greatest or most original map... Just saying. Maps like construct often result in just lift camping... Sand trap had a cool idea of drivable bases but often idiots would just drive the base into a crappy spot and lose the match for everyone lol. Maps like valhalla are good but it's just a thin blood gultch with some man cannons... Not the worst maps ever but not the greatest either...

    The way they handled playlists wasn't the best for fairness either. For example if you play 2v2 and get epitaph slayer... Blue team starts by invis and shot gun while red team starts by rockets and over shield... How the heck is that fair? Red team gets a clear advantage right off the bat! similar issues with 2v2 slayer on guardian and a few other maps. Poor attempts at creating fairness yo!

    It's not a terrible game at all but flawed a tad bit. Still... Good game : )    … Expand

The game also offers private matches which can be used for anything from private competitive games, hangout sessions, to testing out your favourite new maps and game modes. That's right, you can even create your own game modes and maps in the forge mode, alone or with friends. Then you can play these maps and game modes, and share them with others to enjoy.
    Sadly the user score for this game has been deflated by people who hate on the game, don't like the style of this game and therefore cannot accurately measure how well this game performs in it's ideas, and people who seem to have accidentally picked a lower number than they meant to.    … Expand

Se tem algo que faz todos nós nos divertirmos é esse jogo, nos proporciona momentos de adrenalina, pavor, coragem e amizade. Ótimo jogo para qualquer um jogar e colocar em seu top 10.

    Halo 3 is damn near perfect, not exactly but close. The level design this time around is a mash of

The game visually still holds up pretty well for a over 14 year old game. The story managed to conclude a trilogy in a satisfying way and fulfilling way, But if I had to criticize Halo 3 I'm not a fan of the prophets voice change nor his change in character as he feels more like a one dimensional bad guy in this one. And the fact there's no arbiter levels is a shame as it felt like he didn't really have much to do in this game. I would of liked him to playa bigger role in the game and I would of liked to see more characterization in the elites a s a whole such as the shipmaster. While I'm talking about Elites the switch to brutes as the main enemy I'm not a big fan of. They are fun to fight nut not as fun I feel and the elites in this game you just don't see enough of them and there kinda more doofy in this game then previous titles. Other then that the campaign is a great time non the less.

One of the best memories of my life. This is such a nostalgic experience for me.

I played this game back in 2011 when my parents bought me XBOX 360 on my birthday. I remember playing this game with my friends using the split-screen on my birthday. One of the best memories of my life. This is such a nostalgic experience for me.

    Not a single game in my life gave me so many options in it's first initial presentation. The campaign, custom games, matchmaking, forge, theater. JESUS CHRIST. This game is LOADED with content.

    INTERFACE:

    When you first boot up Halo 3 you are greeted with it's iconic and stunning main menu. Through 8 years of playing Halo 3 I've come to appreciate how amazing it is. The dark blue vibe, the banshees flying over and that mysterious forerunner artifact in the middle of the African desert send chills down my spine every freaking time! I absolutely adore the simplistic interface and font of the main menu. Everything is simple, cinematic and memorable. There is nothing like it. It is Halo 3.

    GRAPHICS:

    Halo 3 is The In my opinion it is a testament to how good the graphics hold to this day. I honestly don't even need Halo 3 remake. Well... Maybe just the cutscenes :3

    ART:

    The art-style of Halo 3 gives a vibe of ancient, epic and mysterious like nothing else. Emphasis on EPIC this time around. The amazing world of Halo was never this big. The scale, the epicness of this game IS UNFATHOMABLE! You can feel like you're in the middle of a huge war!

    SOUND:

    I gotta mention the sound effects used in this game. I love the H3 weapon sounds the most. Out of all 13 games (2018) Halo 3 was the best for me. The guns aren't to obnoxious like in Halo 4-5 but not too stiff like in H1 or H2. It's just perfect here. It feels just right.

    MUSIC:

    Martin O'Donnell made one of the best if not the BEST soundtrack in any game ever! The unforgettable Halo theme is always present. But what I actually adore the most is a clever use of the old tracks in a new feel. Which doesn't feel like a pandering but rather a love letter to fans. It was such an amazing feeling to hear the classic soundtrack one last time before the inevitable end of Halo trilogy.

    CAMPAIGN:

    FINISH THE FIGHT! This was the slogan for Halo 3's campaign. So did the Bungie delivered on the promise? Did they actually made an acceptable title to end the beloved series? Or did they screw it up??? Well... Let's just say that they crafted THE BEST CAMPAIGN TO END ALL FPS CAMPAIGNS EVER!!! The unforgettable events that happened in this game can be just described as magnificence, the glorious battles, unbelievable places, twists and turns everywhere. I can safely say that this is a PERFECT way to end the series. The ending of Halo 3 will melt any Halo fan's heart. This is a love letter from Bungie to all the fans. Don't forget to trigger LEGENDARY ENDING! The Chief and Cortana are still alive. For me Chief is still out there, drifting in space. Dreaming. And one day we will need him. But not the way 343 did it. That's for sure.

    MULTIPLAYER:

    This time around Bungie added 5 NEW MODES! SWAT, Juggernaut, VIP, Territorries and Infection. AND THE INFAMOUS INFECTION OH MY GOD. I have never had so much fun in any game PERIOD. It is the best in the series in my humble opinion.    … Expand

La propia voz de El Inquisidor podría ser una modificación de loquendo. Es el segundo juego de la saga que juego y de nuevo Cortana está perdida por algún motivo que no me he llegado a enterar en la trama.

    Las misiones están bien, a secas, gráficamente cumple, especialmente dentro de las instalaciones y complejos; pensemos que es un juego de 2007, año en el que se lanzó God of War II para PlayStation 2, por ejemplo.

    Estoy completamente seguro de que fue una revolución gracias a su modo multijugador online, y que asentó las bases junto a Gears of War del online de Xbox 360, pero como no lo he jugado no puedo opinar.

    Cabe destacar la misión final: Halo. Muy espectacular en todos los sentidos.

    Por último, la banda sonora. De las mejores composiciones que he oído en mi vida. Temas simplemente magníficos, brillantes, icónicos y legendarios.

    Al menos, este Halo 3 ha despertado curiosidad en mí de saber más acerca del universo, el lore y los personajes de una de las más icónicas IPs de Microsoft desde tiempos de la primera Xbox, cuando la primera entrega de la saga fue un hito en la historia de los videojuegos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo 3 is a game that is far from perfect, and unlike a bottle of wine, it does not get better with time; However, it does not get stale either. After almost 11 years, Halo 3 is still the same thrilling experience that is was all those years ago. While the graphics may not have aged well, and may not have been great in the first place, the gameplay, story, multiplayer, and sandbox settings far outweigh the negative of this masterpiece.

    Story: While the story may not have been the enthralling tale of hope, heroism, and loss like the marketing portrayed it to be, it was not a bland story by any means. The basic story revolves around a green armored super soldier near the end of a 3 decade long war set in the 26th century, an alien who had been disgraced by a major failure, only to be betrayed by the ones who offered him redemption, and a grizzled veteran who knows what the ladies like. The game itself sees humanity desperately grasping for a foothold in a battle up a ninety degree wall, only for them to find an Ice pick and begin scaling the wall, until they finally crest the edge of the wall to gain a glimpse of the end of the war, only for it to be snatched away from them. Overall, the story gets an 8/10 for me, while not perfect, it is a great story with some incredible characters, and sadly the occasional "Dont forget about Cortana" moment.

    Multiplayer: The multiplayer of Halo 3 is by far the best aspect of it, with weapons that act as powerful tools of destruction in their respective environments, while not overpowering the alternatives. The addition of equipment was still a great choice for varying gameplay, while being less intrusive than armor abilities and spartan abilities. Overall the multiplayer gets a 10/10.

    Sandbox: Where do I begin? Lets start with the Human weapons, arguably the most boring in terms of design. The Assault Rifle is your standard automatic weapon, decent is close quarters, terrible against shields, but great on flesh. The Battle Rifle is your go to medium range weapon, the three round burst ensures quick and concise kills. The Sniper Rifle is exactly as it sounds, albeit bigger than expected. The Shotgun is a close quarters masterpiece, the only drawback being it's slow reload speed. The Rocket Launcher sees an downgrade, losing the ability to lock on to targets. The addition of detachable Machine gun turrets sees a powerful heavy weapon, that slows your Spartan or Elite considerably, resulting in a slow but powerful soldier, who is probably in need of some medical attention. Overall, without getting too far into the sandbox, it gets a 7/10. Due in part to the projectile management system, which priorities grenades and equipment over bullets.

    To anyone saying that Halo 3 was over-hyped back in the day, you're not wrong. But it was the right kind of hype, the kind of hype that didn't leave too large of a gap that the game felt empty, but left just large enough of a gap that you are left wondering, what could have been.    … Expand

    Halo 3 is a very memorable game to date, as it is a true successor to it's roots as Halo Combat Evolved brought something to the table, and Halo 2 used everything halo ce had, but added other stuff to make it a great sequel.

Halo 3 has the best replayibility to offer in any game for me. Graphics are great for 2007, gameplay and combat is easily the best. Soundtrack is amazing and something you would hear a lot unlike other games where just synths and some drums would play and annoy you. One thing I don't really like about the campaign us that it's 10 missions, but for some reason the 1st mission is just litereeally a cutscene. It's the shortest game in the trilogy but length time could vary depending on difficulty skill and understanding of the levels of the game. Another thing I don't like is that sometimes you don't really know what you're really doing in the missions, and how they have anything to do with the story. but I'm not totally saying the story is bad, story is pretty good. I think one of the reasons is that it's a little too militaristic and confuses people. Well, campaign is great, as it is my favourite one. One of the things that halo 3 is known for is it's excellent multiplayer. Maps are cool. lotta cool gamemodes and more. Multiplayer is awesome as well. theater mode is just... you gotta check it out... I'm giving this game a 10, as it is my favourite video game ever.… Expand

    Everything good about the Halo franchise is in this game. This is one of the few games that, despite having a great multiplayer, what really kept drawing me back in was the story. Awesome combat, beautiful visuals (especially in cutscenes), a functional and very fun map editor, and a great multiplayer experience made this Halo's flagship game.

    On the campaign side, I really like the story and gameplay of this game, but it does get edged out by the galactic romp and incredibly variety of Halo 2. It feels like after the development hell that was Halo 2, they all sat down in a room, looked at each other and said "okay, let's not bite off more than we can chew, let's define a more reasonable scope for Halo 3". And it shows. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, having a tighter scope allowed them to focus and polish better, and have a proper ending -- but I do miss the variety of 2.    … Expand

Lançado em 2007, ele elevou a série a um novo patamar e entregou uma experiência verdadeiramente épica.

    A história de Halo 3 continua a saga do Master Chief e sua luta contra a ameaça dos Covenant e os Flood. O enredo envolvente me cativou desde o início e me manteve ansioso para descobrir o desfecho da trama. O jogo apresenta personagens carismáticos e momentos emocionantes, proporcionando um fechamento satisfatório para a trilogia original.

    A jogabilidade de Halo 3 é simplesmente fenomenal. Os controles são precisos e responsivos, oferecendo uma experiência de tiro em primeira pessoa fluida e empolgante. A adição de novas armas e veículos, juntamente com a possibilidade de usar granadas incendiárias e golpes corpo a corpo aprimorados, adiciona uma camada extra de estratégia ao combate. A interação com os veículos é suave e satisfatória, permitindo momentos emocionantes de pilotagem.

    O design dos níveis em Halo 3 é impressionante. Os ambientes são ricos em detalhes e visualmente deslumbrantes, desde paisagens alienígenas exuberantes até cenários de batalha devastados. Os níveis são bem projetados, oferecendo uma variedade de desafios e oportunidades para a exploração. Além disso, a introdução do modo cooperativo online, que permite jogar com amigos, adiciona uma dimensão adicional à experiência, tornando as batalhas ainda mais emocionantes e divertidas.

    A trilha sonora de Halo 3, mais uma vez composta por Martin O'Donnell e Michael Salvatori, é espetacular. As músicas evocam emoções intensas e complementam perfeitamente a ação do jogo, criando uma atmosfera imersiva. Cada melodia icônica me envolvia profundamente na narrativa e nos momentos de maior tensão, ampliando a experiência do jogo.

    Halo 3 também apresenta um modo multiplayer robusto, que proporciona horas intermináveis de diversão. O modo multiplayer oferece uma ampla variedade de opções, desde partidas competitivas até modos cooperativos, permitindo aos jogadores enfrentarem desafios e competirem com amigos e outros jogadores online. A personalização do personagem e a progressão no multiplayer acrescentam uma camada de longevidade ao jogo, mantendo-o interessante mesmo após várias horas de jogo.    … Expand

As fases no Halo 3 não são mais impossíveis elas exigem sim um certo nivel habilidades e que você consiga entender o conceito das fases e como derrotar os inimigos um exemplo disso é o The Ark que na primeira vez parece ser muito difícil lidar com os Scarab mas você pega um jeito de uma maneira que você consegue facilmente enfrentar 2 Scarab que seram apresentados em poucas fases depois em ''The Covernant''

    I think nostalgia for the old days of video gaming is clouding peoples' judgement when it comes to Halo. Quite honestly I cannot stand playing these games.

    Imagínate un videojuego que tenga todo lo bueno de Halo CE (mapas, historia, enemigos, etc) y Halo 2 (Mejora en el gameplay, conflictos, armas, etc), y no solamente mejora lo b ueno de esos 2 primeros halo, si no que también mejora y soluciona sus fallos (flood, repetitividad...) bien ese videojuego existe y se llama Halo 3, ahora acabo de decir todo lo bueno de Halo 3, armas, mapas,Imagínate un videojuego que tenga todo lo bueno de Halo CE (mapas, historia, enemigos, etc) y Halo 2 (Mejora en el gameplay, conflictos, armas, etc), y no solamente mejora lo b ueno de esos 2 primeros halo, si no que también mejora y soluciona sus fallos (flood, repetitividad...) bien ese videojuego existe y se llama Halo 3, ahora acabo de decir todo lo bueno de Halo 3, armas, mapas, historia, enemigos, conflictos, gameplay, etc. Ahora que hace mal Halo 3?

    The story/plot of the campaign is near perfection, not on the level of Halo 2 or Reach but close. The characters are good but a downgrade to Halo 2's incredibly written cast and the campaign is not as in depth. Where the campaign really shines is in terms of its sandbox and gameplay.

The characters are good but a downgrade to Halo 2's incredibly written cast and the campaign is not as in depth. Where the campaign really shines is in terms of its sandbox and gameplay. The sandbox is incredible with the introduction of equipment and multiple new weapons like the grav hammer and spartan laser. Equipment really makes each encounter more dynamic and fun as it adds another level of thought behind what you do so it feels more rewarding when you utilise equipment well. The guns are the most balanced they have been since CE so each weapon feels viable even on higher difficulties. The first few missions are quite standard and slow but still a good introduction to the game, however the game really begins to pick up after Tsavo Highway with The Storm, Floodgate, The Ark and The Convenant. These 4 missions are 11/10 each being so unique and influencial in terms of story but also fun af. The scale of Halo 3 is portrayed perfectly in these missions ranging from 2 scarabs at once, a flood infestation, and the all out war on the ark. The Ending to the campaign is the best yet with another warthog run but on an astronomical scale compared to CE and much more intense. There is also plenty of Easter eggs and collectibles throughout the campaign like skulls and terminals which add to the lore and also gameplay. The only complaint that i have is that heroic and legendary difficulty is way too unfair while in vehicles and being shot by vehicles.
    In terms of multiplayer this is peak arena shooters, the maps are great, sandbox perfect as well as game modes like griffball on top of the huge amount of custom games.
    Forge is brilliant allowing for you to make your own game modes and mess around with sandbox

    Halo 3 mostly recaptures the open and creative feel of Halo: CE, and brings the Halo trilogy to an exciting and action packed conclusion, if one that is not particularly unique.

    Anyone who gives this game less than a 9 not even bothered in paying attention to the story or even what is happening. And even if you don't pay attention to those details, the game is great, people who gave low ratings don't like sci-fi games, and they just spent few time in game. Definitely is one of the 3 best games of xbox, and I say, that even today preserves that rank.

    Bungie had everything going for them when starting Halo 3. There were no tight deadlines, the team knew the kind of story they wanted to tell and what gameplay worked and what didn't.

    The gameplay kept betting on that power fantasy the series is known for, with all the weapons and gameplay additions from previous titles, present, yet again. Now, the player is also able to use different abilities that work as pickups, similar to weapons, that can create new gameplay scenarios, though I didn't see myself using them very often. Thanks to the story from Halo 2, in its sequel your main enemy are the Brutes, however, while menacing, they didn't feel like a big threat, since, when compared to their previous iteration, they're much weaker and their design isn't as interesting.
    The soundtrack was, as always, a masterpiece and it knew the right moments to play. It felt like the culmination of every piece written before it.
    The story, however, left me feeling slightly disappointed. The Halo 2 promise of an all out war on Earth was finally realized in this game, but it felt like some elements that made Halo 2's campaign extremely interesting were abandoned. The Arbiter, perhaps due to some of the fan backlash, took a back seat and felt like a cheap copy of the character we were introduced to in the previous game. The same thing happened to the previously established main antagonists, becoming nothing more than some Saturday morning cartoon villains. The level design was so good, however, that the story didn't bother me that much.

    Overall, Halo 3 left me feeling slightly disappointed with its story and the expectations the previous game built, simply weren't met. However, the amazing gameplay and sandbox, mixed with the simple yet genius mission design and environments made me forget these issues. The ending was a beautiful way to send off the Master Chief until someone would need him again...    … Expand

    It's the addition of the Forge level editor and the saved films that give the game an even longer set of legs, legs that will probably keep you running at full speed until Bungie figures out where, exactly, to go from here.

    Halo 3 is the best Xbox 360 game to date. The single-player campaign and storyline are both very strong, but it's Forge and the Saved Films features that will likely go down in history as Bungie's crowning achievements. They've basically taken everything great about the series and improved upon it in every way, then added some amazing new features that we'll be using for years to come.

    It's solid gameplay, immense replayability, online functionality and incredible production values will ensure its place in video game history, and it is, without a doubt, a satisfying and fulfilling close to the beloved trilogy[?].
