We all thought the first two installments of the Halo series was great in both gameplay and graphics during their releases in the early 2000’s. Even though, Halo was not originally planned to a series many people enjoyed the various sequels released following Halo: Combat Evolved. As many of us know the third installment of the Halo series was released for the Xbox 360 console in 2007. Similar to the previous titles Halo 3 included a campaign mode which contained cooperative gameplay including the main characters Master Chief and Arbiter. Halo 3 also included the addition two new characters “N’tho Sram, and Usze Taham who both have their own respective backstories. The backstories in the game added to character development for both Sram and Taham. Also, similar to the first two games Halo 3 maintained its mutiplayer madness allowing up to sixteen people to play on a single game.
As great as the online gameplay was campaign mode was also far better than the prequel in Halo 2. One of the deciding factors that made Halo 3’s campaign mode much better was the ending. After completing the game many people feel satisfied after hours of gameplay instead of being left with a cliffhanger ending. The graphics of this game were spectacular and the gameplay was better than ever. Many people have a tough time deciding which Halo game out of the first three was the best. In terms of graphics many people argue three was the best while others might favor Combat Evolved since it was the original. However, the second Halo game was one of the best selling games of all time for the original Xbox. Either way, all three all Halo games were fantastic since Bungie always had an idea of what people wanted to see.
After its initial release gaming magazines including GameSpot, Game Informer, and Game Trailers had scored Halo 3 in the nine point bracket leaning close to a perfect ten. Other publications including Edge & Eurogamer had gave Halo 3 a perfect ten score. As time progressed many people would agree that the series had dramatically improved since its inception during the early 00’s. The masses would also agree that the Halo series is among the best of many first person shooter games for Xbox in general.
