Nonsense -- Halo3 is the most fun you can have without actually inventing a gun that fires heat-seeking glass. The only people who don;t like it are people like Boo who is so obnoxious that even the ally AI turn on him. And rightly so.
Halo's copy & paste level design and generic weapons were never good. Halo 2's single player is on par or better than Halo 3. I haven't played the third one over Live yet and have no intention to.
I'm not the biggest Halo 3 fan either. I didn't like single player very much and nothing pisses me off more than unloading a full clip on someone online only to get punched it the face and dieing.
Yeah, that's a problem with a lot of shooters. I'll empty a clip into someone's face or chest--not their arm or leg or something stupid--and then they'll run up to me and punch me to death. That sort of situation accounts for several deaths a round for me.
My other typical death is my fault. I'll sneak up on someone and start to unload a clip, then realize I only had 2 or 3 bullets left because I stupidly forgot to reload.
But on topic, Halo 3 looks like quite possibly the least exciting FPS title of the last 3 years. I keep wanting to be interested in it and I'm sure online is decent right now by virtue of the people swarming over Live, but the game just looks so... forgettable.
I'll take the middle ground with Halo 2. All I know is that there are several stand out moments I can recall from the first Halo that made me want to play again and again. The night-sniping mission may be the best the series has so far produced. The only stand-out moment in Halo 2 for me was the Scarab leap of faith.

Halo 2 sucks!
Halo 3 rocks!

Although, Halo 3 > Halo > Halo 2. The middle game/film is often the worst.

Couldn't be farther from the truth. Halo 2 sucks because it's single player has the same copy/paste level, graphical glitches, and it's boring.

Still loved the game.

Halo 2 - Best of the series by a mile.
Halo 3 - Has some great moments, but too short... and shouldn't they have learned to cut back on those fucking Flood bastards by now?
