Why the beta needs to rock our faces off. -IGN article -
"Last November, Bungie released a set of screenshots -- the first for Halo 3. I think the collective question on everybody's minds was, "Are they serious?" The screens don't look bad, but I hope I'm not alone in saying that I expected a lot more."
Remakes of the campaigns featured in Xbox Game Studios' Halo 2 and Halo 3 are currently in development, according to a new rumor.
That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.
So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.
Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.
"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.
So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..
I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place
Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.
I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.
Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters
Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.
There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.
Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.
Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it
I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.
I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.
A new Halo 3 mod turns the iconic Master Chief into a Pokémon % Master as functional Pokeballs come to the game.
That is very impressive to skip the article here is the direct link to the video

Full animiation then a code change to make the target that comes out of the ball to be in the same class unsc not a easy thing to do.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
Thats the whole point.
Its kind of a hard thing to predict because on one hand anybody with any common sense knows that Halo 3 will be a huge hit and it will sell very well when its released, but at the same time on the other hand it depends on what you definition of failure is(It won't fail)....because the expectations might be un-realistic and of course alot of "critics" will find any and every "percieved flaw" and if sales are great they will say they expected them to be better...blah, blah....well not to worry it will be very good and if you really like Halo franchise you will no doubt enjoy this game, IMO.
Halo 2 became the fastest-selling piece of media in history, and its success topping the charts on Xbox Live for YEARS after its release clearly proved it deserved its place.
...and Halo 2 was met with literally MILLIONS of whiners and complainers on the interwebs b***ing and whining about EVERY. TINY. ASPECT of the game.
Halo 3 will be no different. If the Halo 3 beta was so great that people with heart conditions and pregnant women had to be medically disallowed from viewing how heart-stoppingly awesome it was, there would still be TONS of b***ing on the 'net.
IGN's just getting a headstart and trying to claim a spot on the Whaaaaaambulance.
wut is this (IGN) guy talking about??
the beta isn't ment to 'rock ur sox', if the beta is dissapointing then that gives Bungie enough feedback to make the multiplayer game alot better.
Really it's just the final game that matters
No he's so right about it, I was sooo underwhelmed about the screenshots I have seen so far, they literally SUCKED. This beta does need to be good, it needs to show good graphics, sound etc and major improvements over Halo 2. They know multiplayer if the multiplayer for this sucks, than their is problems. Look at it like this would you have bought LP if the demo totally blew? FNR3? etc etc etc if the demo blows what makes you think the final product will be ten thousands times better. This beta needs to rock, I don't have a doubt in my mind tho that it will. Bungie would never agree to it if the demo was REALLY bad, it should be pretty good.
fukuba7 has a point. that (ign) guy is retarted.
