What exactly made Halo 3 so fun?

I've just been playing some Halo 3, and even now it's still a fun game to play. But what makes it so fun? The fact that everyone starts off equally? The good maps? The fun to drive vehicles? Or all of the above.

  • Having a flashlight and a scoring system in campaign mode A Forge mode that was new and innovative A Theatre mode that was new and innovative Great graphics, sound, and presentation coupled with menus and interfaces that were all easy to read In short, all the things Halo 4 doesn't have... and the fact that Bungie got it right the first time.

    • I find Halo 3 to be at the bottom of my favorite Halo games list. Why? It was by far the most hyped game and I found it worse then Halo 2 for customs, matchmaking, and the maps were not very memorable compared to those in 2 and Ce. Its praised because a large majority of the current community started Halo (at least on Xbox Live) with Halo 3.

      • It was simple. I used to love playing doubles with my friend and try to get a 50. We could spend hours looking for new setups and tactics.

        • Something with four wheels, no gunner seat and a propensity to fly threw the air.

          • The maps were some of the best in the series, especially in CG (Who doesn't remember those Infection games on Sandtrap that lasted all night because you had a guy in the gauss hog?) Custom Games was actually, wait for it, Customizable. No Armor Abilities or Specializations And a bit of nostalgia.

            • I think this is because it was simple. I went on and played some customs with my buddies yesterday and we had fun just messing around. The customs were pretty basic settings, like infection and stuff.

                Equal starts make it my favourite multiplayer. If they killed me, I know they out skilled me and not just had better power ups or what ever you wanna call them.

              • Halo 3 was the last great Halo game with a great multiplayer. Compared to what happened with Halo 4's multiplayer it really makes me miss the old days of Halo where skill really mattered. Halo 4 seems like its trying to appeal to the casuals and COD gamers out there.
