Is Halo 3 OverHyped?

[showc48]

Ok. I got a 360 for Christmas. I love it. But I've never played Halo 1 or 2. However I did reserve Halo 3. Heres the issue...can someone please tell me what the hype is about this game cause I'm thinking about not getting it. Its just been a little to over hyped for me.

The whole Halo series is overhyped, in my opinion.
But, it is the conclusion of the series (actually, I think its a prequel, but either way it's the last game being made), so the fans who like it, overhyped or not, are going crazy over it.

Id just get the first one and see how you like that one.

everything nowadays is overhyped, and its usually the hardcore diehard fanboys who make it that way. but after you play halo 1 and 2, go back to this question. im pretty sure youd be able to answer your own question.
personally, i like the halo series caz it brings friends together. and its always fun when youre with a bunch of your friends playing games, chillin and stuff, ya kno?

First things first, go out and buy halo and halo 2. They will both probably run you only about 30 clams. Check ebay too. The game play is huge. Easy pick up and play controls. Musical score is outstanding. Story is fantastic. But what made Halo really huge in my opinon is Halo 2 and it's matchmaking. The matchmaking they instituted is light years ahead of any other game. Not to mention the online play to it. Halo 3 is uping the ante. For any of those who played the beta, know how awesome it is and that wasn't even the tip of the ice burg. Halo 3 will be the best $60 to $130 you will ever spend.
