i just really dont like halo. i just cant see what everyone likes about it.

*puts on bullet proof armor grabs C7A1 and starts seting up sandbags around house*

who does

I do!

Spank me Master Chief!

slaps Ashin*
now think about what you said boy!

I dont like it either. Its the back bone to the X-Box, imo like Goldeneye was for N64. I just dont see what the big deal is about those games...

Personaly I like the PC version of the game. Mostly for the free online play that is. The campaign wasn't all that great unless you were doing a co-op.

The original on Xbox is good but Halo 2? Something went very wrong.

like giving a one hit kill weapon (sword) just about every level, 3 times a level.
They just made Halo2 way too easy.

Halo 2 is way too "big". Halo had a certain allure of being able to do all sorts of great things, but Halo 2 was way too sophisticated. I didn't like the way my vehicle could be blasted up. Also, if you're playing a better player, you have absolutely no chance of winning. Halo is a lot better.

halo 2 had one great moment and that was when you could board that big fucking thing you first see out of the big appartementcomplex(wich looks like one of those ol skool star wars things)
thats about the only memorabel moment i had in the halo universe
the flood is the most retarded thing ever and almost all of the charakterdesings are average
same goes for leveldesing
the controls are the only thing it deserves any praise on

yea, wouldn't want players with more skill to win. that wouldn't make any sense at all. let's just go ahead and make the game 50% luck so the shitty players can win anyway. yea, that'll make a great game.

I do!
Too bad your enthusiasm doesn't show on the playing field!

just because you're better at than me =(

i enjoy it, i just enjoy betraying almost as much as killing the enemy

I dont like Halo either...

Halo is the best shoot-em-up GAME ever. SO stfu all :p

P.S Wait for Halo3 and see:)

I havent played the original but Halo 2 is overated imo.

your nuts (and your location should be athens greece not greece athens)

the reason halo is an attractive game to so many people is probably because most other fps's are more tactical or squad based, where as halo is basically, go in, shoot anything that moves, wait for cutscene or new objective. people dont want to have to think when their gaming, they want to kill stuff

it's not tactical? have you ever played on live ?_? (NOT RUMBLE PIT THX)

halo isn't even meant to be a tactical fps. if that's what you want you're grabbed the wrong genre of game.

kinda silly to bitch about qualities of a game that're obviously the way they are because of the genre they're in ;-;;

i guess nobody ever heard of doom, duke nukem, unreal tournament, team fortress classic, day of defeat, deathmatch classic, fire arms, quake and a million other deathmatch fps's. :p

but the king of deathmathing though has got to be ut i think. if not q3. i'm a hl fan though. so i stick with tfc.


anyway. to be honest, the only reason i think it was mega popular is because its the first time all the new generation gamers (you know..babies) got to play online against other "h.u.m.a.n.s". see, it was their first time. and to them, it was just...mind blowing. lets let them have their fun. next thing you know, you'll be hearing how awesome "suckmydick 2" is because of its online play.


so lets all stfu and bow down to half life. damn noobs. fuck halo. i don't give a shit about the new generation of gamers. your all spoiled bastards. fucking 6-15 year olds.


i was playing online when you were learning how to play pokemon.



(ps. i do not in anyway dare to make fun of pokemon. for i love the franchise. i'm just using it as an example and we should all worship pokemon as well. thank you)

I LOVED Quake, But IMO the best first person shooter is Golden-eye.

the controls are the only thing it deserves any praise on

What?

Halo's controls are atrocious. It doesn't help that it has to use the equally terrible X-BOX controller, but that's my main beef with Halo (and 2)... it's nearly impossible to play.

wasd + mouse please

I did enjoy teamkilling with the flamethrower in PC Halo, though.

I think people like them in the sense that they work well for a system that doesn't have the standard PC FPS controls. I'd prefer a mouse and keyboard but using the gamepad isn't complicated.

All in all, out of all console systems, the Xbox controller is best suited for FPS. The placement of the two analog sticks are perfect since your movement is where you're most familiar with (The left most area of the controller) and your aiming stick places your hand in a position that makes it easier to reach the face buttons.

All in all, Xbox controller is grood for FPS.

it's more tactical than quake ^o^

ps xbox controller ftw

You want a tactical FPS? Play Tribes.

Next to that, Halo is a simple fragfest.

No, I meant something like if you play someone a little better than you, than once they get their hands on a Sniper Rifle and a Rocket Launcher, you're a gonner. Or vise versa. Once you have the good weapons, it's just like a massacre since the other person has access to all of the vehicles and guns since they have the superior firepower. Once you start losing in a game of Halo 2, there is very little chance of turning it around. In Halo you could always turn it around.

That's because everyone starts off with the most powerful weapon in the game... a fucking pistol that kills you in 3 headshots.

I've seen many Halo 2 games where the tides have turned, it is just a matter of planning and taking advantage of every situation.

I have tried, but when the dude has a Rocket Launcher and a Sniper Rifle with full ammo, a Banshee, and a complete over shield you can't do much now can you? He sniped me all the way across the level that looked like Blood Gulch. Honestly, OVER-KILL!!

you're a shitty player for letting him get all that, and yes, he is still beatable. also that is a terrible level for 1v1.

I've beaten plenty of people on Halo 2 with rocket launchers. And it was my first time playing it.

Halo 2 was a blast for me the first few months that I played Xbox Live. But after the constant matchmaking updates, new maps, new rules, it just got way too bland. I liked it the way it was, not before they ruined a good thing.

Halo 1 > Halo 2

Pistol ownz all. Halo 2 is spray and pray combat while Halo requires skill. Yes even the Pistol requires skill to get 3 sucessful headshots while aiming at moving targets since the original Halo didn't have a 5ft auto-targeting system.

*puts on bullet proof armor grabs C7A1 and starts seting up sandbags around house*

It's a wise move, really it is...

I think Halo did evolve the fps somewhat, open lanscapeds that flowed, the unique armor system, and the feel of gunning down the small, yappy covenant was second to none.

However, i thought the on-rails Library mission was a little on the weak side.
But overall - a joy to play

Halo evolved the FPS? It didn't do anything that hadn't been done before...

PC games had been doing wide, open landscapes since the late 1990s. And what did you find unique about the armor system?

probably that it refilled itself and he dind't die trying to find an armor recharge on his own like the rest of us do in every other fps out there.


wimps. go find your own armor. instead of ducking behind a box waiting for it to recharge. :p

Halo is Marathon with pretty graphics. Marathon is a bungie game that came out in the 90's. The plot is essentially the same.

This thread is two years old. No one cares about it. Fuck you for reviving it.

I like it.
i probbly like the story more than the game though.

Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 ftw!

Raidenex, please tell me you're picking up UT3 for PS3 too. I'm having a blast with it.

This thread is two years old. No one cares about it. Fuck you for reviving it.

Just doing my duty sir. It's good to see some people are as enthusiastic as I am. I simply wanted to make an addition to something, if you don't like it, that's fine with me. I don't really care what you think about my posting choices one way or another so, you can insult me all you like.

Anyway, now to my explaination:

Marathon was released by Bungie in the 90's which I'm sure those of you who care already know. Halo essentially follows its plot, with name changes and locale differences. And there are no three-eyed purple-armored aliens with staffs this time around.

In my opion Halo was a desperation play on Microsoft part.
Good Story
Generic Gameplay
Ugly Ending
Nuff Said


goes off playing 40k

fuck, personally, halo sucks really hard.

Its like... "oh god! look, they are killing aliens, cool!". Mostly people who plays halo are people who just like to shoot, shoot, shoot.

Halo have non artistic detail (music, graphics, design, concept) and the history is awful as hell, and for not mention the BOOORING action on game.

So, people who say "Halo is the best game ever created" are people who
1.- Never have played a real game (i dont care what kind)
2.- People who are not able to take a break for listen the music in game, look to the 3D models or see the amazing textures.
3.- People who simply are not able to move with 1 hand a aim with other (keyboard + mouse)

Call of Duty 4 is better, I mean Halo isnt the worst FPS but it clearly isnt the greatest. Call of duty just showed bungie the correct FPS formula.Hype made Halo what is today.

Oh fiddlesticks, this thread has been revived.

Hahahahahahahaha

In before close to say that Halo is shit.

I dont like it either. Its the back bone to the X-Box, imo like Goldeneye was for N64. I just dont see what the big deal is about those games...

Goldeneye for N64 is NOT like the Halo series is. Goldeneye actually did something different in its multiplayer modes while also giving up a very, very solid single player experience.

Halo has always put single player last in priorities. None of the games have really done anything new with anything in multiplayer and they're only successful now because of one thing:

When Halo came out on the Xbox, it was the prettiest shooter out there.

That said, I'm gonna go play Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six. At least they don't feel so half-assed.

Sheesh
