The older I get, the less I like Halo 3, like gameplay, music and set piece wise it's GREAT and I absolutely love replaying it for those aspects, but the story, slight aesthetic changes and bad characterization is just..... Bleh. The only weird characterization I like is Chief and Arby being bros and that's honestly probably the best thing in the game that unfortunately hasn't been explored much(outside of the books, even then still should be explored more)

Oh and Marty O'Donnell should [REDACTED]

#like the sexism and ableism with Cortana. Jonhson constantly having to be rescued #Miranda. and Truth's entire personality doing a 180°(voice change is one thing but they just completely did away with how he was in 2)#Miranda died in a stupid way and MARTY FUCKIN O'DONNELL BEING THE REASON WHY JOHNSON DIED #oh and the aesthetic change of the elites and brutes just doesn't work for me and flood was so bad especially when it came to High Charity #going through a flood infested high charity would be so cool!! but it was tedious and downright ugly to look at #we could've revisited some of the Halo 2 high charity set pieces and see the change done by the flood #but no it was mostly just flesh and pustule hallways that are easy to get lost in #halo 3 is a lot of missed opportunities and most of that is just due to Microsoft pushing for crunch #h2 suffered from crunch and there were concepts lost due to crunch but with all things considered is just a much better story #and Arbiter taking such a big back seat in 3 was so disappointing #I could go on about how much Halo 3 sucks in a character and plot perspective #but I think its just going to be one of things where I should ignore the plot fully and enjoy the gameplay #I will say it IS weird when people complain about Chief and Arby being friends #yeah it could've been handled better but it was ultimately going to happen ajd it was one of the best aspects of 3
