Multiplayer FTW :) Also I feel the single player campaign of Halo 1 is as good as any of the other great games people mention (like Metroid Prime).

ha. don't know where your head's been.

The major difference is that Metroid Prime is much more adventure and puzzle. Halo's single player campaign doesn't even compete in depth or detail.

Halo's is just plain FPS - shoot 'em up and keep trucking. Just like every other FPS, but perhaps done a little better, at least.

 

But, multiplayer does seem to be the deciding factor when considering games AS just FPS. If it's got good multiplayer, it's a good FPS. If it doesn't, well, then it's not.

That's why everybody would probably consider Hunters a better FPS than Echoes, and obviously why Halo/Halo2 are considered some of the very best FPS out there.

BTW, Halo 1 multiplayer is infinitely better on PC. Just sayin'. 

 

Thats my point, MP was a FPA and was a refreshing change from the endless shooting, required you to use your brain a lot of the time and also implemented new ideas very very well.

It has no multiplayer? Bah it really should, online would help things too sadly.
