no surprised with the amount of hype and media the game got. MS literely shoved halo3 down our throats
tbh I dont think the marketing has been that OTT. Its not been that much worse than other games, the main difference imo has been that microsoft have managed to penetrate the mainstream media whereas other big game releases (e.g. Grand Turismo games, GoW etc) are limited to games press, lads mags etc
Halo has been getting alot of coverage on the evening news, proper newspapers etc
Yes Microsoft have hyped Halo 3 but no more then blockbuster movies are hyped pre-launch.
I am impressed that a game has beaten out a blockbuster film in this way. It is truely is an interesting comment on popular culture.
i dont think the advertising has been that ott
Have to agree with Russ, ChrisJC and YorkieBen, the advertising for Halo 3 has been no worse than any other big game and no where near as bad as over hyped films. I saw more ads on TV for Bioshock than I have done for Halo 3.
It's a awesome game and deserves to do very well indeed.
Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
every bus i see - halo 3
whenever im watching tv - halo 3
i'd say the promotion is that of a movie, which imo is ott for a game..

Really enjoyed the series for its multiplayer aspect previously, so hoping they have built on this!
What is a game though, isn't it just an extension of the interactive movie, and after paying to see Spiderman 3 I would much rather have stayed at home and played Halo 3!
Life is like Computing, just when you get it all working properly, Bits need replacing
i have never understood halo, it just seems like another boring FPS to me. all this for a game where the main character dies at the end anyway...
*yawn*
Might want to put a spoiler warning there? I don't care personally, as i'm not really interested in the Halo series, but others might!
Having been a PC FPSer for a long-time, I played Halo 3 the other day which was the first time I had played a console FPS since Goldeneye. I came away with the same impression I had before I played it; consoles are crap for FPS games. I was completely underwhelmed, but I guess if you're a 360 / console gamer then this is about as good as FPS's get.
yeah..... i guess i missed thatMight want to put a spoiler warning there
i do it on purpose really if you have not guessed yet, i just love annoying Mickey$hit fanboys... although i have stopped short of putting it in my sig...... so far......
I've seen more TV adverts for BioShock than Halo 3. But there are loads (millions) of bus shelter, blillboard and bus adverts for Halo, your poster style advertising.

As soon as Lego Indiana Jones is in stores, then this launch day record, as well as the Super Mario Bros overall sales record of 40 million units WILL BE DEADED IN THE HEAD!
