Time and again I get fed up with Halo's multiplayer. It'll feel feel frustrating, unfair and boring and I'll swear off, and at, the game. Then, somewhere down the line, I'll play with some friends or maybe jump in by myself for want of something better to do and it'll be the most satisfying, frenetic, superbly built thing I can dream of. And then the cycle repeats.
So, yes, I agree it's great. It's easy to be put off by it, but as easy to come back and love it.

I can't play any of the older Halos anymore after ODST. Sad as original Halo is one of my favorite games of all time.
you definitely need the right people to play with. having your whole team leave on you is most decidedly not a good time at all. especially when leaving to find a new game costs you EXP.
EXP is pretty hard to get in this game, especially when you suck at it like me. I'm not willingly giving it away because my team was full of jerks who left in the first two minutes.
but when you do have a good team to play with, it is as fun as anything.

It's pretty damn fun when you have 3 friends playing in the same room with you, but there are quite a lot of unbalanced items and weapons. The mounted machine gun can kill you in 4-6 hits which takes all of 3 seconds to shoot, there is no way to counter someone with an energy sword, shotguns can kill in 1 shot even with full shields, using vehicles is almost useless if they are on the ground because you get hijacked immediately after hopping in, etc.
It's still heaps of fun, but I personally can't wait for Reach where some more dynamics and balancing will be available through percs and loadouts.

@ Skribble - Sounds like you need to not run at the people you're shooting! =P
I love Halo 3 a lot, but the skill system is kinda' ridiculous. You win a game with a +15 Kill/death ratio, and your skill doesn't go up. You lose a game by one kill, have a +12 kill/death, and your rating goes down. I just stick to social...it's less frustrating, and there's a lot less quitting.

Im no noob, I know how to play. You only need to be within 6-7 feet of somebody and you just boost in to them when you use the energy sword. Even with the gravity hammer you can jump and get boosted away giving you time to recoup, but when someone has a weapon that boosts them in to you with increased auto-aim and a 2 hit kill, it's pretty ridiculous.
One thing that really annoys me is the field of view during split screen. You're lucky to get an FOV of 50, which makes seeing anything but what is directly in front of you almost impossible.

When Halo 3 first came out, my brother and I always murdered everyone with a warthog. It was really fun the first week, but after that people started to get real good.
"It's Great With Friends"
Yeah, I play with any three friends when they come over. Just Slayer [and sometimes Team-Slayer]. Sometimes, if more than three come, I just let them play since I'm a much better play than most of them, so it's more fair for them. Fun to watch [and cheer on] too.
"So Much Ridiculous Stuff Happens"
Well, what I find more enjoyable about the Halo Multiplayer compared to the others I've played is the amount of creative things you can do. I think this goes under the "So Much Ridiculous Stuff Happens" although, for me, it's kind of 'planned' instead of a WTFWTFWTFWTF moment. Like, 'falling' and stabbing people with the Energy Sword in Blackout.
"The Alien Weapons Make It Interesting"
Actually, the way the weapons are just lying around is more interesting. I'd rather pick up a gun like that rather than have guns based on class. Plasma grenades for the win though.
"The Vehicles Are Fun To Drive"
I "hate" vehicles unless they're just to get from Point A to Point B. If someone's riding a vehicle, I pick up the Spartan Laser and look for them. Heh. I'm more of an 'on-foot' kind of guy. One reason why Avalanche is never played. TOO FRIGGIN' BIG.
