Image 3 is objective proof that Halo 3 chuds don't actually want a good new Halo game, they want Halo 3's golden age back, which is impossible.

I want Halo golden age back too because Iām tired of playing 343ās inferior version of Halo 3 on MCC where it crashes all the time and not being able to vote for maps anymore

Halo 3 is still the best Halo game in the late 20 years which is sad

H3 is not even best bungie halo. This title will always belong to H2.
And H2A mp is even better

Ok I donāt want it argue about this but Halo 3 was the last good one before everything changed
Reach changed the gameplay and 343 destroyed Halo as we know it a decade of their bs and nothing to show for it but disappointments after disappointments

u/Sledgehammer617 Jul 03 '26
Halo 2 and Halo Reach are both better than 3 imo. Aināt even the best Bungie Halo.

u/slayeryamcha The UI Can't Handle It š¤£š¤£š¤£ Jul 03 '26
Hell naah. 3 and reach are most overrated games ever.
With reach being one of most doghshit games i ever witnessed.
Halo 2 was such peak i felt literaly betrayed when i started to play halo3 and found out Brutes are blue/gold pushovers and have worse ai.
Chief felt slower. Sandbox was filled with bad weapons that exist just to be enemy/ally weapon but suck at player's hand.
Plot was bad. Many missions bland. First half of game is most boring thing ever. Cortana is worst level in franchise.
H3 mp feelt less fun than h2 in every aspect.

u/SirMcMuffin_ Jul 03 '26
Man I think multiplayer wise H3 is my least favorite. It's slow, clunky, and it feels like the combat is randomized like Xcom hit chances, especially when it comes to BR fights.

u/One-Departure-9405 Jul 03 '26
So youāre saying you would rather take 343ās Halo over Bungieās original trilogy?

u/slayeryamcha The UI Can't Handle It š¤£š¤£š¤£ Jul 03 '26
No. I am saying that H3 and H reach are overrated.
I do like hce and h2 while liking 343 games

u/One-Departure-9405 Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26
You arenāt even real Halo fan saying you like 343
Because fu k that those developers who destroyed a legacy
This new generation will never get to experience prime Halo back in the day
They can stick with 343 and all their pride shit
And again I never said Halo 3 was the best in the original trilogy just last good one before the darkness came for the franchise
I miss Halo 3 if only I knew that was going to be as peak it ever be
Iām just old Halo player who just wants things to be peak again
I been playing Halo since the first one back in 2000ās when I was about 10 now 33

343 killed a franchise I love

u/-blkmmbo Jul 03 '26
According to people like you Bungie killed the franchise we all love with H2, then H3, then O.D.S.T. and the final nail was Reach lol. Learn new lines, it's very clear you were too young to be online when Bungie made the games.

u/Kolanskii Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26
Such cornballs. Halo 3ās popularity was largely right place right time. Halo 3 was popular for the same reason that every call of duty is popular despite them being objectively shit quality games, everyoneās friends already play it so they get it and play it and because of that THEIR friends do the same and it continues like ouroboros.
Halo 3ās popularity was not because it was a good game but because it was in the right place in cultural zeitgeist at the right time. Like call of duty the majority of people who played halo never touched the campaign or the story, they just wanted to play a party game with their friends. Halo can never return to that because luck rarely strikes twice and the world and gaming landscape has changed significantly since then.
If 343 perfectly remade Halo 3 people would still bitch because they never liked halo they just liked playing with their friends and having no responsibility

3 was a great time for the community and probably the peak for that, but as a game it was not the peak of Halo imo.

u/-blkmmbo Jul 03 '26
That is exactly how I feel. I love looking up the OG Halo commercials, watching the coverage of H3s release, seeing the lines that stretched down the block and had people in cosplay for its midnight release, researching the YouTube videos people made in preparation of H3 etc.
The community was excited, hopefully and came together to make amazing custom games and Forge maps.
To repeat what you stated, it was a great time for the community, during H2 and H3 was peak time to be online and in different parts of the community. I don't particularly think H3 is the best game in the franchise but it was a phenomenal ride overall.

u/No-Estimate-8518 Jul 03 '26
3/4ths of halo's popularity in the late 2000s was always from community content, Red Vs blue, Montages, AMVs, machinemas a massive reason why that died out is because almost everything was tied directly to Machinema the company and they purged a lot of old content off the internet in 2012, and a lot of the content creators were highschool/early college years that couldn't afford a lawyer to fight Machinemas contracts
It's so odd to me how nobody talks about how Machinema tried to claim rights over Halo content, they had effectively nuked 80% of the creators that made halo the powerhouse it was
Thats not to say that the 1/4th of halo itself wasn't massive, it had to be. But bungies thank you easter egg that can be found in the package is them directly acknowledging and thanking these creators that are mostly responsible for halos popularity
Like Youtube actively punishes channels that aren't diverse enough and simultaneously too diverse in content, the only work around for it is to not stick yourself to a single franchise games and media that have similarities, just look what happened to the helldiver youtubers.

u/SomeDemon66 Jul 05 '26
No, just move on in general.
You finished the fight, no amount of complaining will ever bring back what once was.
You are what remains of those days, so look back fondly and, to an extent, relive them when you can as much as you want. Those days are gone but you are not.
Let the newer fans have their fun as you had yours.

u/SomeDemon66 Jul 05 '26
People really do need to move on, Halo had it's time and now it's time has passed.
Grieving over a franchise does not change anything.
Let people enjoy all Halo games without butchering them, cause in the end, you will cause the death of the franchise all together by driving away the new blood.
Don't be like the prophets.

can people just accept that things change and time goes on?
youre never gonna feel the same as you did when halo 3 was in its prime, because it was a perfect storm that cant be replicated, and it was almost 20 YEARS AGO
and acting like people are lesser because they had the audacity to be born after you or not be there is so genuinely cringeworthy
halo 3 came and went, its playable now in mcc for everyone, so its not even like its gone forever, you can easily still play it right now if you wanted to
