343 wasn't in charge.

Simple user. It was fun.

Game was focused on being fun for the 50th time in a row more than anything else.

It was simple and fun.

Good multiplayer with decent balance, lots of room for crazy custom games, fun with friends. Just really fun. Single player a little phoned in but that wasn't really the point anyway

It was cute and funny

It was made by humans with a dream, and that Dream was called "Halo".

it was okay

still the absolute worst hit detection I've ever experienced.

It was the only halo game with female elite waifus. Based.

Plenty of non white people worked on halo, they were just hired based on talent.

Everything

>white male nerds
Didn't they also had asians and blacks?

>Halo 3
I remember my brother and his dorm mates going to the midnight release for when this game dropped
Those mad lads went to K state University and the closest GameStop was a solid hour away from campus
But they did it
God those were good simple times

It really was, speaking of older brother, I really miss the days when I came back from school earlier than him on a friday and bought softdrinks and sweets so we can play through the whole weekend together. Fuck man, now I feel like shit.

Were it so simple

We're just getting old
Hell we hardly have time for video games anymore
But to me, that's what makes them feel special
When you finally DO get to sit down and play you can just enjoy it, and to be honest long gone are the days of playing well into the night of gaming
I can barely stay up past 10:00 now

Focusing on defending Earf from the alien invasion, instead of some stupid galaxy weapons that are too big and complex for anyone to understand.

Very true. With 25 I am losing my shit if I stay up til 11pm. Cause the next day at work I will be fucked beyond believe.

Same as Halo 2, it was just timing.
We all probably had friends who came over on weekends or we went to theirs to play this shit all night, then with 360 and Halo 3, XBL was more accessible so we could play together weekdays after school too.
Nowadays kids and teens have similar experiences with todays games like fortnight, but since we're looking at it through nostalgia glasses and probably a lack of irl friends to play them with, they seem shit.

This lmao
don't be a chud. Halo was diverse as fuck from the beginning even. Diversity isn't exactly the problem, it's management. 343 is too big and uncontrolled. Who's in charge?

Fpbp

I missed out guys. At the time I didn't have the money for a 360, neither did my parents. There was no way for me to play it. I've play 1 and 2 on original xbox abs was a huge fan, by 2007 had already sold it to someone. I had a gaming PC that my brother gave me which satisfied my gaming needs, but the whole experience of playing Halo 3 with a buddy a new big ass HD tv had just passed me. To this day, I still have not played through Halo 3. Maybe one day I will get to play it on coop with a buddy... one day.

halo 3 is such a good game man... i'm so sorry... rip

The sandbox editor wasn’t as “fine tuned” as Reach was, so good maps were GOOD maps

SOUL

Bungie was a team of very talented and creative folks at the time and they finally got a development schedule that didn't force them to rush things.

Luke "I played Phantasy Star once" smith was working at Kotaku and not as "Game director" at BUNGLE

What the fuck is that mutant on the left?

Is that mods or?
I played MW like a month ago with irl friends and there was none of that shit.

I wish it had loyalist elite enemies. I just love fighting them

Welcome to season 5 lmao

>modern day online game with DLC skins out the ass
>allowing mods at all
Fuck the customer.

Fuck really?
Those skins look like some shit out of R6. I played it like daily with friends for a few months, guess I ditched it at the right time.
