hehehe that probably explains why you rate Halo so highly. Halo is a good looking but fairly average FPS. It\'s not bad but way overrated. If you care more for gfx than gameplay than I can understand why you like Halo and dislike HL. Although you\'ll never admit that of course... true or not.

I\'ve never heard of anyone say that they hate HL. Is it humanly possible to hate HL?

HALO got praised for it\'s gameplay more than it\'s graphics...

Halo is good an all but im wating for Halo 2. Personaly i like the TS series just as much as halo if not better. We have had this discussion before and shut your holes before pummeling me with "why, why, why" and just accept the fact. There have been many FPS but nothing that compare to Counter Strike .   Well i wouldnt say that but i could care less whether Halo takes the gold.

Stupidest. Statement. Ever.

Halo has some of the best gameplay of this generation. Not many games(if any) have comparable gameplay and storyline. The graphics are just icing on the cake.

That\'s your opinion, which I find a lot more stupid. A console FPS best gameplay of this generation? Yeah right... Tell me is Halo the only game you\'ve played this generation? Must be...

I found Halo boring. It\'s the same thing over and over, and also story isn\'t that great (certainly not as good as HL). I could care less what you think though coz you\'ve always been biased.

umm, exactly what did halo add to the FPS crowd besides slightly better graphics (ignoring the 30fps crutch)

yep, nothing


half life (without a doubt) > halo

How can you say that? Half Life was the most boring loads of bollox I have ever played, I only got it so I could play Counter Strike, I never even finished HL it bored me so much. Halo on the other hand was a joy to play and a joy to complete.

you sir, are a wierdo

After the first 5 levels, yes. And we all know Bungie had to pretty much tack all of those extra levels on because MS wanted the game to be longer.

Before that though, the levels and situations are quite varied.

and also story isn\'t that great (certainly not as good as HL).

Someone hasn\'t read The Fall Of Reach or The Flood.

I\'ll just copy \'n\' paste my post from this thread.

Mmhm... That\'s the thing that makes HALO such a nice game, it gathers all of these different elements from other FPS and combines them into this neat little package with it\'s own style. It may not do things quite as well as other FPS but considering all you\'re getting...

• An involving story that leaves much open to be explained further through sequels or more novels.
• Nice use of vehicles. Warthogs for making those crazy jumps and mowing down large packs of Covenant. Tanks for eliminating enemy tanks, turrents, and larger groups of Covenant. Ghosts for high speed travel.
• A.I.... HALO is one of the more truly difficult FPS I\'ve ever played.
• Great soundtrack.
• Terrific physics engine. So many people have had more fun with this than the actual game.  
• Balanced weapon system that forces you to think ahead and choose which weapons will be useful in different situations. Pistol and AR for Grunts and Jackals. Plasma Pistol and AR for Elites. Shotgun and AR for The Flood... Just a pistol for the Hunters. (Really hoping Bungie finds some way to improve the Hunter. They made them out to be such a badass race, and as soon as their weakness was discovered... Bah.) Then with the ability to throw grenades without switching weapons was a great touch.
• A kickass multiplayer mode that\'s great for LAN parties \'n\' such. 16 player CTF in Blood Gulch or Sidewinder = Own.

... I think it\'s quite understandable why HALO recieves as much praise as it does. It has it\'s glaring flaws, of course. But they can be easily overlooked when you really consider the overall package.

But yeah, not like you elitists will care. HALO = teh overhyp3d!1 othar FSP r betar!!11one[/i]

bah, your copy and paste\'d list proves nothing that halo added anything groundbreaking

again, nothing.  it sounds like a microsoft PR statement.  oh wait!   it is!!!!

halo\'s popularity was mainly driven by the lack of ANYTHING else on the system that was worth playing, and still isnt

does it bring together alot of good idea from previous FPS\'s?  sure, but it is far from the best of anything.

It didn\'t add anything groundbreaking, that\'s not the point I was trying to prove. Read the entire post.

It\'s popularity goes far beyond being one of the few selling points of the Xbox. You may find this very hard to believe, but lots of people, even some hardcore PC FPS players, actually find the game very, very fun to play... :eek: You have played games that you consider better, but the point I\'m trying to push is that it\'s not completely understandable why people consider HALO one of the best... Preferences of systems aside.
