Firewall said:For being a FPS in a world of FPS's, and when it came out, it was awesome. I guess some of you will never be happy with anything you get.
CodeX said:I was plenty happy with:
Unreal
Half Life (et al)
Unreal Tournament
Unreal 2
BF1942
Half Life 2
Quake 4
BF2
FEAR
and Far Cry
...all much better than either Halo... IN MY OPINION
Firewall said:I really don't get why people bash halo and halo 2. Those games brought so many people into the gaming areana its not even funny. Maybe that doesn't matter to some of you.
CodeX said:That's not what I said. I dislike the game because it is stale and repetitive, especially the indoor levels, far more so than quake 4 or even doom 3. I HATE the game because it gets so much undeserved respect. It makes me want to force each and every one of the xbox !!!!!!s who think halo is the best thing ever to play the original unreal, half life, or far cry, which in my experience most of them have never even heard of.
I guess I don't so much hate the GAME because of that, I hate the fact that there are so many better PC games, while the PC gets little recognition as a gaming console even to this day (present company aside, this forum does not represent the general public at all)
joke? or source? I never played halo 2, but halo was fun enough. I better pick it up for my x360.Zinn said:Anyway, Halo 3 is actually almost complete. It's going gold a week after E3. Surprise.
theNoid said:Halo will ALWAYS be recogonized as one the best FPS's of all time, reguardless of what haters say. For every Halo fan, there is some uptight insecure gamer out there spouting useless banter to make himself sleep better at night.
steviep said:I wouldn't call it one of the best FPS titles of all time. In fact, it barely made a splash when it was released on PC, simply because it was released in an environment where there is many bigger and better FPS titles to be played (the PC market, as you can tell, has been flooded with shooters). You can certainly call it one of the best FPS games ever to grace the XBox, though, and that would be completely accurate. But I'm not much of a fan of console shooters, anyway.

You don't know how many people Love halo2, do you?CodeX said:(present company aside, this forum does not represent the general public at all)
I dont think he does, seeing as the general public love halo2 and never bitched about it living up to the hype, i havent met one non nerd whos said halo2 was a dissapointment(i know more then 7 people personally who still play it on live daily)Firebat said:You don't know how many people Love halo2, do you?
You can bet your ass halo3 will sell much more then 2, especially if microsoft gets the console install base big enough before they release itDomingo said:I think Halo and Halo 2 are highly over-rated, but they're still good games. I think they'd even be good compared to most of their PC competition, too. Are they as good as HL2? Nope. Unreal Tournament? Nope. BF2? Nope. Quake 4? Yes. Doom 3? Yes. FEAR? Yes. Those are the heavy hitting PC shooters of the moment and it's as good or better than 1/2 of them.
For every Xbox fan that claims that Halo is the best game ever without knowing any better, there's a PC fan who's claiming the opposite with the same knowledge.
The multiplayer maps for Halo are terrific, the modes work well (and seamlessly), and the story is a good one.
I'll likely end up picking it up, and I'll give it a fair chance, too. I don't think it'll be the end-all-be-all game, but based on the track record of the first 2 I bet it'll be good. And you know there will be a huge following. Not sure about numbers, but I'd guess that Counter Strike is likely the only online game that's gotten more play than Halo 2.
