Halo 3 has always been my favorite game in the series. I don't think I've put this much time into any other video game. Every time I pop the game into my disc drive, I can't help but smile. I always enjoy myself, whether I'm playing competitively at 50 high or just messing around in Social. Every single match has the same magical feel of my first ever match of online H3 (in which I was awful, for the record). What is it that makes Halo 3 so good? The other games are all pretty similar, but not one of them has kept me coming back for so many years. Is it just nostalgia, or am I not alone in this? I've never been able to explain what it is that makes this game so perfect, but I'll be playing it until it gets shut down. And then I'll be playing custom parties.
