Chyrysler is owned by GM you say? Get your facts straight. Chrysler is owned by Daimler Corp. (Out of Germany)

And yes, Halo 3 is decent- not great, but for a cconsole game you can’t really complain. People who play console games can’t justify spending a good $5 plus grand on a up to date gaming computer. sorry PC guys but -honestly- would you really want everyone gaming on a PC? servers would crash, games would suck (due to low expectations from console gamers worldwide) and most of all: you wouldn’t have such a great time bashing consoles.

so, think about it in reality. Halo 3 = “Great” CONSOLE game.

PC gaming would go down the crapper if everyone ditched consoles.

Wow, look at all these nerds “dissing” Halo 3. Many of them are jealous cause they can’t afford a 360 and are complaining about a joypad.
Also @ comment#40, how is this game for the “pea sized brains” of console owners? I bet your balls are pea sized, dirty little nerd.
But to thoses who have actually played it and didn’t like it, fair enough.

aren’t games made to have fun ? i prefer gaming on the pc, but we’ve also bought the halo3 bundle (xbox360+game)and somebody here in our house is loving it.i’ve played halo3 on this xbox, and it isn’t that bad at all. the whole world knows gaming on pc is a much better experience but these consoles do what they have to do :give the player a good time. If the thing breaks down, so what? a 330euro xbox is stil cheaper than a 550euro 8800GTX which is outdated next year and can also break down or overheat. the consoles are perfect for those who play a few games/year, at least they last for a few years. A gaming pc has to be updated nearly every year if you want the best gfx (who doesn’t?) otherwise your beter off with a console. I still prefer my pc but i love seeing someone having fun while playing on any console.

I’m assuming you haven’t used Vista, which has plenty of fantastic features. If you’re using an old dinosaur computer, yeah you’ll have memory problems. 2 gigs of DDR2800 Mhz ram you can pick up for 45 bucks. I think they made the right choice, make an OS that will last for the future. It’ll be hard for right now, but they’re not expecting to pop out a fresh OS every year. So yeah, your old crappy PC will struggle with your 1-2 gigs of RAM, which is why Vista supports well over that. I haven’t had a single problem and I have just 4 gigs of RAM, it’s not like RAM is super expensive or anything. You can complain and use your older OS that is missing plenty of great features (which you can disable if you don’t want them to be on) or just complain. You have chosen the latter

Apparently people have also forgotten about Microsoft Office, which is hands down the best office suite available. Open office (I have used this a few times when I don’t have Office on hand) just can’t do what office can. For a basic home suite, yeah it doesn’t make much difference. But when I use it at work, it’s bar none the best office suite there is.

I still won’t comment on Halo 3, I think Halo 1 was awful, Halo 2 was a waste of money, and Halo 3 seems to be the same. People in Austin are already re-selling on Craigslist for 40 bucks. Looks like I’ll wait a month and pick it up for half price as I’m a giant coop fanboy. Anything with Coop, I’ll play. If I wanted death match, I’d play a PC FPS.

I completely agree with everyone about PC FPS’s. I think there are just millions who never really played PC FPS games so don’t know that it’s just so much better. It’s also easy to get games for a Console because there is a set standard that all games are made on. You never have to look at PC Specs, you simply pick up a game and it (should) play.

All of the PS3 fanboys in here, you should probably read up on the it’s a better system deal. It’s missing quite a bit of RAM, and the little bit it does have, the PS OS takes up well more than the MS OS. I DO think the PS3 is a great system, I think they both are, but to say that it’s superior is a shortsite. There are plenty of bugs with the PS3, including that no one wants to write any games for the hard to code for system, so they port it and then the games just run poorly.

First, in the console world seems (so far) to be best. Come out with a console first and you’ll sell the games and get the majority of people. Sony used to know that.

People who only play PC games shouldn’t give their opinion on console games. I only play console games so I say that all PC games suck. That’s just the way it is.

Think about it.

for the console its really good, because they don’t have any good fps. but in the pc its just another game, noting special. too much hype.

well… all I will say is nice post, its good info which alot of people can relate to, if you dont like it dont read it.. thats what the scroll bar on the right side of your browser is for! Halo3 in my opinion is a quality game, its easy to pick up and play, good to hammer if you want to be Uber on it and also good for a laugh with your mates… I personally dont play campaign on it, i only throw it on when i wanna play my mates online for a laugh… good job bungie.. cheers for the post!

really though….. if you really bought halo 3 and you didn’t like the online play, it’s because you suck. Maybe you suck because you can’t play with a controller (i.e. adapt to new things) or maybe you are just a newb and get owned by people like me and it hurts your little feelings when i give you the teabag of justice. Either way….. I challenge you all to shut me up. If you think Halo 3 sucks….. but you can beat me, then your opinion might be valid and I will apologize….. if not… you are just another newb that cries and hates because you can’t win. Seriously though…. Gamertag = Dogymm0t ….. if you feel you have a valid opinion, come git sum!!!!

I’m not interested enough to read all of these comments, but I hope someone pulled my favorite FPS card “I think I van do better at shooters with two sticks” or “you just like the key/ mouse because you are USED to it”. I love that they can’t see the basic differences in controlling with a thumb on a stick versus a mouse with a whole hand and wrist. Amazing. I’m sure someone tried it, I think I’ll read them all just to see.
I find this game to be a very basic yet well done team shooter. I hope it does well ’cause my brother works for bunjie and makes $$ for every one sold. They market as well as anyone, gotta give them that.

yeah 100 dollars less for xbox but what if you play online alot. you plan on keeping it 3 years. then you lose out on the money you have to pay for xbox live. and the only reason windows is used so much worldwide is because microsoft buys out every competitor they can. the only ones who havent sold their souls to the devil are apple and linux. and i hope linux takes advantage of this new horrible mistake microsoft made making windows vista. windows vista is like the windows for people with ADD. how much of that bubbled up crap do you really need running in the background on your computer? NONE. all it does is take up valueable memory.

If you really are a fps fan, then you should never play halo,
1)shooters with extremely futuristic weapons and alien enemys are crap(give me counter strike, americas army,medal of honor any day);
2)anyone who plays fps in pc knows that people who play in consoles dont stand a chance against them.
3)the costumes are so lame(look like motoracers, and lame alien costumes)
4)Its just boring…..

Not only is the XBox360 a great product, and Windows is loved world-wide, but Windows Server 2003 is now one of the most widely used server O/S’s.

In addition, Office 2003 is the largest selling productivity software on the planet. Not to mention Visual Studio’s immense penetration in the development industry.

Admit it boyz, like it or not, Microsoft rules.
