To me, the Halo experience peaked here.
I think there's a debate to say Halo 2 might have a better arena experience / gameplay. But as a package, bang for buck, Halo 3 is where its at.
One of the best gameplay in the series (if not the best), the Campaign is insanely epic. In storytelling it falls short to H2, but in level design, AI, enemy encounters, and set pieces it blows out of the park.
But what really elevates this game above H2 (imo) is the social experience. Custom Games, Forge, the File Share, Theater, Bungie.net, Clans, Machinimas. Everyone was playing or talking about Halo 3.
The community and social experience in H3 was unmatched.
