You will never know the taste
>>745981153I do, I'm also one of those dots in OP's pic. I never owned any xbox but my friends did and those were objectively better times.
how were you robbed? 3 is a zoomer game
>>745977000Uh, I'm a zoomer and I WASN'T robbed of this
You didn't miss out on muchJust brownoids screaming faggot at each other on a shit mic while sweating over a shit game that aimed for them. And they paid extra for that!
>>745983043Tell me you're brown and poor without telling me you're brown and poor
>>745977000Mommy and daddy didn't buy you an Xbox 360 and a copy of Halo 3 for Christmas or something?
>>745982834>>745982915>2007>rated M>the average Halo 3 player is 36+ now>zoomers
>>745983116OkI played Halo 2/3 Halo
>>745983224I didn't play Halo 3 at launch, but I did play Reach when it came out, and bought Halo 3 within months. Just as I played MW2 when it came out and went back to play COD4 and WAW
>>745977000Sure you are “Zoomie”
>>745983427>>745982834I was 2 years old in 2007
Hey faggotBabies first fps.It's just a worse version of golden eye 64 multiplayer with more shit to do. Play a game that requires skill like ut99 or ut 2004 guns the duel cs 1.6 or maybe one of the 2000 dead online 2000 games that had more complexity then your god damn ass ever seen in your fucking life fuck you and all your corporate meme faggot generation using bitches https://youtu.be/ZLL7UyzH7Zs?si=luVpNEfB38qjeKPY
>>745983749>ut99 or ut 2004 guns the duel cs 1.6Mogged by picrel
>>745977000I was a zennial squeaker, it was a blast
>>745983885>Deathstreaks and tiny mapsCasual shit for consoleniggers
>>745977000Millenials were the ones robbed retard, you never had it so there was nothing to steal from you
>>745983749It wasn't about the complexity of the game, it was about the collective consciousness of humanity reaching its apex. You wouldn't get it.
>>745985940>It wasn't about the product being good>It was about the mass marketing and the niggers chimping out of hypelmao Gaylofaggots
Yeah2000s was peak multiplayer gamingit was never good after that because you have 100,000,000 thirdworlders shitting up every single fucking game they can
>>745979106Halo 3 Beta Access for buying Crackdown. >>745977000dont worry, 3 started the downfall of the series. it was popular because halo 2 was popular. it had a huge population of normies jumping on the bandwagon. its status is maintained through blind nostalgia and not quality. Bungie was already out of ideas during the development of 3 and started to lean heavily into equipment gimmicks, poorly balanced weapons, and poorly designed maps. Then Reach put the equipment into the armor and further fucked the series. take the "bait" normies.
>>745977000lol what a little bitch you are holy shit. Go play games made for your generation dummy. Minecraft is supposedly a generational GOAT from what the zoomies told me. Its impact has been as big as Pokemon and Tetris. So it is a far bigger deal than Halo 3. All of us get a GOAT for our gen. You just didn't want to show up and you want to self loathe.
>>745977000I utterly miss early 360 era XBox Live.You could find people on mics in game instead of party chat perpetually, and games were not afraid to let strangers socialize with each other like they are now, lobbys remained intact between games instead of re-matchmaking all over again

The level was to involve a fight with two Scarabs - something later seen in storyboards for later revisions of The Great Journey before ultimately being realised in Halo 3's The Covenant missionHalo 2 stencil shadows only worked indoors>Marty O'Donnell: "All that stuff was going to culminate and end on Earth. And it was going to be the end of Halo. We had no plans to do another game after this. It was like: this is how Halo ends."
>>745983749BASED. I fucking hated Halo when it came out and never bothered playing it outside maybe a few missions.
>>745983749>quakefags still seething 25 years later that Halo dethroned their game
>>745979106Honestly as long as you were there for some of it, you saw it all. Halo 2 and 3 MP were basically the same from a social point of view. It's not just halo, it's the lack of all quality vidya now.
>>745988378man that party update blew that entirely upbut recall I played a lot of closed custom games
>>745983749That image is probably older than Op
I dont even remember now, but before H3 made infection a matchmaking variant, how did people play infection in H2? I remember it was always played on that map with the 4 corners, the zombies were brown (based) and it was the honor system of when you died, you had to swap to the zombie team.Was it just custom lobbies from xbox live invites? Or was there matchmaking? Can't remember bros, I'm 30... unc mode
>>745983749
>>745989115Halo 3 had the publish pictures option and you'd have big titty anime girls made out of tesla coils there all the time. You will never see that again on a multiplayer game.Which makes me curious, why are online games not allowed to be rated M? Even gta gets rid of tits in the online
>>745990498kek bodied that unc freak
>>745983885Casual faggot no recoil
>>745989041No you dumb motherfucker the internet had like 100000 games for free and they were all more complex then halo. https://youtu.be/HjNRRn2-zS0?si=tC6aGJW0cTufmQAbhttps://youtu.be/TEVtJNp5cCI?si=9FpS2_xTW2KeET1sHalo gay piece of trash atleast talk about planetside 1
>>745989281Yeah it is
>>745979106>>Halo 3 Bungie vs. The WorldThey did this as a final send off in Halo Reach as well actually for Bungie day in 2011. If you killed a Bungie employee or killed anyone who had done so, etc., etc., you would get a blue flaming helmet. Miss when devs used to do stuff like this, even Bungie themselves are nothing like how they used to be. Back after Reach came out I think they also made all Halo 3 dlc free at some point. Then a few years later they hid most of Destiny’s content (already on the disc) behind a paywall and booted Marty for a silly reason. They also sold out to Activision despite spending over a decade whining about Microsoft lording over them, even though they seem to have had more creative freedom under them.
>>745990738Gay corporate speek. Your using a dumb ass term that came from world of warcraft and smash melee you fuck.When we would call someone a freak it had meaning your freak is someone is not agreeing with you

>>745993968>everyone calls Sitrep dogshit early on>decide to try it out because I like the niche usebeing able to see claymores and tact inserts was easy kills against campers>get sitrep pro>can hear everyone coming from a mile away>get turtle beach headset>now it's a finely tuned radari abused it for a while before people caught on to how strong it could be. Akimbo Deagles was also slept on as it was an isntant kill and the first shot from both had pinpoint accuracy from a mile away for some reason.
>>745994139>Akimbo Deaglesi forgot about this kek i remember camping with these on skidrow but yea it wasnt as talked aboutto be fair the stuff talked about was so broken it bordered on feeling like exploits (or legitimately were) so I get why some other stuff was slept on
