Remember when video game launches were big? When there were huge, dramatic trailers? When people stood in line, when G4 covered midnight launches, when special editions came with cool stuff and didn’t rip you off (oh hey Fallout 76)? Split-screen co-op or multiplayer on the couch with your best friends?

Halo 3 is now as old as I was when it came out. And I cannot wait to play it again.

Also, this was so good.

You just hit me a nostalgia bomb. It was super effective.

What I wouldn’t give to take a week off, and go through the entire halo campaign with a friend or three. Splitscreen, of course.

But Halo 3 on 360 would only do two player co-op local.

Clearly you need two 360s, 2 TVs, and a LAN cable for the optimal experience.

I was in middle school when it came out still my favorite campaign.

Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?

I personally think it's the best Halo game, but I'm also biased.

I’m very much with you missing this era of excitement around gaming. I also miss lan parties, everybody dragging computers and laptops over to a place and killing each other, it was magical!

Are we expecting improved graphics, textures and models, over the 2014 Xbox one release?

No idea. I'm not expecting a difference personally.

I think it’s the best too. I prefer halo 5s multiplayer though. I like the game mechanics but didn’t like the campaign that much.

From my experience with the updated Halo 1 and 2 on PC it appears to be the same as the Xbox 1 releases but rendering at 4K instead of 1080p.

Ah Halo 3. I somehow obtained a college degree at the same time this came out.

I remember that trailer haha. Damn.

Fwiw I hold the first game as the peak of the series. I felt like 2 added features for the sake of it and didn’t like 3 much. The first game was so ground breaking for so many reasons.
