It is possible to dislike a system without owning one personally... You could have experience playing them elsewhere then your own home...

I don\'t much care for the X-Box for the games but I understand that other people do. For me personally the only game I have played so far and thought was worth the effort was Morrowind... Fusion Frenzy or whatever was also interesting I suppose when you have 3 or 4 people playing... Thats just me though so while when asked for my opinion I inform someone of how bad I think the X-Box is, I don\'t see myself as being a Fanboy for the PS2 or Gamecube... Just someone who doesn\'t care for the X-Box...

Yeah I know your going to say Halo is another good game in response but I have played Halo from beginning to end and to be honest wished I could shoot myself in the head to end the boredom a few hours into the game [I was at someone elses home and they kept wanting to play though]... I have no idea why people thought this was a good game... There are fewer opponents or weapons then you can count on your fingers... and the architectural design of the levels gets so redundant you feel like you haven\'t moved anywhere 2 hours later... I recommend that anyone who would have problems with shooting thousands and thousands of the same four types of creatures for hours and hours with the same few weapons do not purchase Halo...

Ok..that\'s fair enough...But what I was saying, is that I\'m tired of people bashing other systems without giving a valid reason, and doing it in the most immature manner.

Well it was really his opinion, and the points he raised are very valid and are problems I associate with the game.

Although I think I like the game more than him :p

If you really did beat the game from start to finish, you\'d know that there were a lot more enemies then just the basic 4... Also, don\'t forget the fact that a lot of these guys are in vehicles too.  I count them as seperate enemies altogether.

Halo\'s problem is basic. Frame rate and the fact that it reuses enviroments.
Big problem, in my opinion.
As for the actual gameplay, it is pretty good for a FPS.

Heh, I was wondering when mm would rear his ugly head in a thread that bashes Halo...

And I got bored of Halo quick...

Same enemies over and over and dull weapons...

;) @ MM.

I bag on Halo quite abit but honestly, the game does have problems. I know some people refuse to admit it has frame rate issues , and I\'m not talkin\' the 30fps vs 60fps issues. I\'m talkin\' the fact that the game can\'t keep a constant 30fps. I can name instances durin\' play time that the game would start to drop frames. Keep in mind, I\'m not talking massive drops, but it is still stuttering and when you pay $300 dollars for a new system and supposely buy the showcase game, you expect more than frame rate issues.

As for the enviroments , it is like the developers wanted to create a FPS longer than usual, so the idea was just to reuse enviroments. The fact is, it is annoying. I found myself enjoying the first part of a mission, but when I had to revisit  / or be in the same enviroment again, I was annoyed.

Now onto the good points. As for gameplay, the game is simply fun for a FPS. Keep in mind, I\'m not a FPS fan - the last great FPS in my opinion was Half-life. But for a simple console FPS, the game excels in that area. The enemies are funny to listen to when you are shooting at them. They are also *somewhat* smart.

My point? Halo is a good game. However, it is no GOTY and in my opinion doesn\'t deserve the attenion it got. It seems to me, that a lot of Xbox owners are still waiting for that one showcase game that has gameplay and graphics.

Just wondering...what do you people think should have gotten GOTY?

When I play any game on any system framerate issues are inexcusable.  Some how though, many of you managed to look past these short comings on PS2 games.  If it does get brought up, it isn\'t around for very long, as the finer qualities of the game are brought to attention and glorified.  Halo is almost 10 months old and the issue is as alive as it was when the game first released.  

Halo is by any standards, a fine game.  Perfect? No, but then I ask you to name a perfect game.

this should go somewhere

Then you suck...

:p

By the way, I was answering your question about GOTY, not to name a perfect game.

Don\'t edit your post next time...

:P
