Halo 3 is a fantastic game and the best FPS this generation has produced. The gameplay is top-notch and superbly paced, there are several maps with outstanding design, you can often play with 16 players lag-free (although there are lag problems every now and then, sure) there are several enjoyable and varied game modes, and the ability to make your own maps and take screenshots and videos and put them online is something that all console games should implement.

You can call me a mindless racist homophobe and inexperienced in games and a whole lot of other things if you want, though. I'll just feel sorry for you that you can't enjoy a game that has given me many hours of joy.
NO! The best FPS this generation has produced!?

1) The gameplay sucks - the handling of the weapons is unsatisfying, the shield mechanic is insulting, it makes it not even a shooter - it's a grenade/melee game, some kinda freaky-deaky medieval thing when you think about it! Look at the shooting in Fear2 - the way your bullets rip through your opponents, it's immensely better than HALO3, and that was a sleeper title. Plus Auto-Aim = A complete joke to every self-respecting FPS devotee.

2) 16 Player MP without lag!? Is this the kool-aid they're providing you guys on XBox Live to convince you it's worth your money!?

RESISTANCE 2 HAS 60 PLAYER ONLINE COMPETITIVE WITH A SERVER STRUCTURE THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LAG!!!

16 player with no lag is no triumph at all, welcome to 6 years ago!!!

3) You cannot make your own maps in Halo 3, you can edit spawning locations of items. That's a joke. You can't even have mods on any 360 game, let alone Halo 3, so don't tell me about creative customizing tools like that.

You could list in-game screenshots and videos until the cows come home, NONE OF THAT has anything to do with its fundamentals as a game, it doesn't change the fact that the game is vastly inferior as a shooter compared to FarCry2, Killzone2, Resistance2, Fear2, Call of Duty 4 & 5, Unreal Tournament III, hell even 007 Quantum of Solace is better than Halo 3.
