Infinite gave me so much hope, I grinded it to onyx, and nothing new ever came. I’ve waited for campaign dlc, nothing ever came. The wildlife and side quests in the open world was absolutely dead, felt so boring. Whole game just disappointed the absolute crap outta me

@@Dannymart_88445 if you think this then you’re too young to have hit peak gaming times

[@Dannymart_88445]

@monkeynutz if you don't like red dead redemption 2, you're just a close-minded retrograde boomer stuck in the past who can't catch up with the time. Rdr2 (which is absolutely one of the finest games ever made), the Witcher 3, uncharted 4, battlefield 1, and the last of us are just some examples of wonderful modern games. You're just speaking out of nostalgia like a true boomer, I suggest you to wake tf up

[@Balnazzardi]

​​@@Dannymart_88445well there is no denying those are great games...Withcher 3 and RDR2 are actually easily the best games from past 10 years along with Baldur's Gate 3 and last year was the best year in gaming since 2010 imho. But overall I would say we saw the peak in gaming industry back then because for me the best years in gaming overall are still 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2010 Call me also a boomer for saying that but if you disagree about those years, then you indeed were not around experiencing gaming back then. I mean heck this trailer alone got me more hyped than any other game trailer has managed to do and overall the feeling and excitment there was during 7th console generation. It just aint there anymore even if we still do get great games but its been long while since Ive felt any hype or genuine excitment for any game

Nah. Halo 1 was a masterpiece. Halo 2 continued the legacy because it was the first Halo that was on LIVE, and it started matchmaking. This trailer was just incredible because it was working with the hype of H1 and H2, little did we know that H3 would be complete crap.

RIP Halo 3 servers on the Xbox 360. 2007 - 2022 I remember aching from the finger tips to come straight home from school and play this online. Now it’s nothing but a memory. Sure we still have this on the MCC. But the amount of excitement I had from the 360 experience will never compare. Godspeed Halo 3... Godspeed.

[@mro4ts457]

I wish they would offer a mic versus no-mic multiplayer searching feature. I've got almost all my maps but it's a bit hard to meet people who talk these days... Back on the 360, everyone got a microphone with the console and so... pretty much everyone talked. I think that's now the biggest difference between h3 on 360 vs MCC. (most all of my old maps are in my file share now, so I've got them on the MCC at least*)

[@puggyjman1073]

JPgamerTV it was good, but the english dub/mouth sync was pretty bad. Gameplay was fairly good though, as well as the story. But being the fact that it was a 360 game only (should’ve been PC, playstation, and xbox, not just xbox) long time fans of the Ace Combat series were somewhat disappointed. Now with Ace 6 being my first Ace Combat game, I do agree, it was good, but the people in charge of the game should’ve made it more available to players instead of keeping it only on 360

[@Generalkidd]

+adambelfast1 Well if you think about it, throughout Halo 5, Cortana has been trying to contact chief throughout most of the game. The Cortana visions in this trailer could've easily implied that too. As for the portal, well we didn't know it was a portal before Halo 3 came out so in the context of Halo 5, it could've been the guardian activating.

[@adambelfast1]

Generalkidd It doesn't matter if we didn't know it was the portal before Halo 3, it's still the portal. And it's not a guardian activating because again, it's the portal. So having this as a Halo 5 trailer wouldn't make sense at all.

[@Generalkidd]

How did Bungie go from a master peace like halo to destiny. Bungie use to make games that lived up to the hype & by god they lived up to the hype.

[@Beandip867]

they must have had alsheimers and forgot how to make good games

[@50Calabyte]

Eh, Destiny has some pretty cool stuff in it. I mean, a game that manages to mix MMO aspects, Diablo loot whoring, and Halo style FPS gameplay is pretty sweet in my book. The problem is the lack of content and the attempt (probably by Activision) to bleed the user dry for more content.

[@TruScottishGuy]

50Calabyte How dare you compare this game to diablo its nothing like it at lest in diablo you get rewarded for killing a boss.

[@50Calabyte]

TrueScottishGamerHD Really? I'm fairly certain in my time in the Beta I got loot for killing the end raid boss. Sounds like you've never actually played Destiny and are only going off of what other's have said.

[@TruScottishGuy]

50Calabyte oh I played it all right wish I never did nothing but a cash grap if you like doing the same thing over and over then that's you. LOL!

2007. What a time to be alive. Fans united together for something that at the time, we didn’t know would be truly historic. H3 was and still is the pinnacle of gaming. Anyone who was playing the beta a month before launch, stood in line at midnight, a member of HBO, cheers to you. I don’t think we will ever have an experience like that ever again.

@@Squashylemon halo 4 and 5 literally just isn't halo, Bungie said the story was over, in all liklihood chief probably would've died at the end of 3 if Microsoft didn't strongarm them but even if it ended w/ Chief in space floating it would've been fine. Same shit with Starwars, the only "real" starwars is 1-6, apparently disney said the extended universe books (i never read them) are not canon, even though they were canon when Lucas owned the franchise. Yeah I'm thinking they are 'canon' anyway, fuck Disney, just because you bought an IP doesn't mean you decide what's canon or not, it just means you ruined things.

Just the sight of Master Chief walking out fills my heart with hope.... I can only imagine the courage he inspired in the marines who fought alongside him

[@LOL_Garrus]

The hype sureounding this game was massive and unprecedented. The game itself lived up to that hype. Halo 3, the whole Bungie Halo series, was peak gaming.

[@lukemurphy6244]

For real, nothing else has come close. To the hype for Halo 3. Massive Popular Cultural Moment even outside of Gaming itself really everyone who had a a Kid or relative who played Halo knew there was this huge game coming out. Knew how important it was. And it really was the last game in the series - todays master chief is not the master chief we grew up with. They tried to give his chrachter depth with these emotive storylines but Master Chief doesn't need depth he's the Chad protector of Earth that has the most badass voice in the Universe. That's all we ever needed to know.

[@wowno5763]

​@@lukemurphy6244 exactly. Halo 3 is where the story ended as far as im concerned. The series peaked with Halo 3. Reach was good but definitely inferior to the trilogy it followed.

[@justadude117X]

Looking back on this and knowing everything that ive picked up about the art of story telling and how great stories beautifully and masterfully manipulates our emotions, i can see why they chose every frame, every line, every note and how it culminates into a gorgeous, and awestriking, exciting and anticipatory piece of work. Its absolutely no wonder this game, this company is so beloved by its fan base. Its also so clear as to why and how 343i will never be able to even come close. They never learned what the rest of us see, the magic and the community. This will forever be one of my favorite videos and memories.

[@Zeady]

All my best memories are from playing Halo 3: I remember getting Halo 3 back in 2007 when I was only 8 years old. I loved Halo 3 even before I got my xbox live gold profile in 2008. I used to bring friends home and we played all day. Halo 3 was different from every other game and I got a special feeling from playing it. I play Halo 3 today and I wish I could relieve the lovely memories but I cant. Halo 3 custom games was the best thing ever existed. I remember playing the awesome campaign and collecting all the skulls to unlock new multiplayer armour. I bet no one will ever feel what I feel and what I felt. I wish that time could last forever.

[@Eltipi82_]

I do.. I miss those days.. Playing , customizing the maps the way you want it with friends.. I wish I can go back in time.. Halo 2 & Halo 3 were the two main Halos that I fell deeply in love with

[@mikecollins3627]

I still play it, seems fine to me on my 50" TV Making slightly higher graphics doesn't justify the millions it would cost to "remaster". The Remastering of Final Fantasy 7 is justified because it really needs it. Halo 3 is still fresh in my mind.
