Is something like this even necessary?

Anyone gonna list all the flaws for Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl when they're all out?

Didn't think so. *bleep*ing fanboys.

Often is it that these lists come from people who have been waiting ages to play the game, they hit it and then they're immensely satisfied as is the purpose of the game, then they sit around a bit longer and realize the snap and the fizzle are wearing off for them.

This can happen to any game and it has happened before. Don't think that just because Halo is in the spotlight now that it means that nothing else will be bagged on, it will in most cases. I love how you predicted the future though so you could make your lack of a point, did you climb into the DeLorean with Doc and scream ahead to a few weeks after the launch of these titles?

As for MP3 I've seen people talking about the game for a while now, while it gets hyped for making use of the Wii controls better than most other titles it also gets slammed for the gameplay and general function to some of the things they did with the game.

What is the deal with so many people? Say one (in this case ten) negative thing about Halo and its called a crime. Why is it taken as a personal insult when the flaws of the game are pointed out? Are Bungie/Halo/Microsoft Fanboys extra sensitive? And before anyone claims otherwise... I have no problem with Halo- its a pretty cool game, though dreadfully over-hyped.

At the same time I, like so many other rational human beings, regard it as a game and- therefore, vulnerable to the same flaws as other games. Wouldn't all of you rather hear the minor black marks on an otherwise great game, as opposed to everyone 'keeping them a secret'?

Come on. How immature do you have to be to start lashing out everytime somebody says 'You know, Halo 3 was great, but -enter some perfectly reasonable complaint-'. Now I could understand if they were making outlandish claims like 'Dual-wielding is so stupid they should have removed it' or 'Master Chief is a terrible character to have star in a game- get rid of him'.

I'm not pointing fingers or calling anyone out here, but I know it does hurt Halo's reputation to have such touchy fans. Heh...

Numbers 9 and 8 are the only reasonable ones on that list. Everything else is literally being nitpicky.

Melee combat isn't bad, it's actually well thought out.

10. Bungie.net Site Integration: The Bungie site is absolutely fantastic. It tells you everything, how many kills and deaths with each weapon you've had or, on each map and in Ranked and Social, it has a record of every game you've been in, I think, or at least a few hundred, how many kills and deaths you head with what weapons in those, where you came. And it has loads of uploaded photos on it, albeit it can forget to upload some but oh well. What else could you ask for?

9. Team Voice: I admit this isn't very handy.

8. Maps/Playlists: The maps are good, they are already working on a map pack. And the playlists are fine.

7. Weapon Balance/Changes: I think the weapons are balanced personally.

6. Online Multiplayer Net Code: ??

5. Playlist Ranks: It takes time for the ranks and skill levels to settle in new games. Give it time and you wont be surprised to find veterans that appear to be noobs.

4. Melee Combat System: I cannot deny it, I hate the melee system

3. 640p Native Resolution: Boo *bleep*ing hoo.

2. Frame Rate Issues: There aren't any, there may be slight hiccups in the game but the framerate is perfect.

1. Halo 3 Ending *Spoilers*: I felt a little strange about the ending, while it was cool, I was hoping to actually see a little more action, but I think it was fairly powerful and does leave room for a sequel.

Heh, most of this I got from my friend who had problems with the game too.

How many of these lists have we already had?
