Halo; a difference of opinion

I am not looking to insult anyone here. Halo is undboubtedly a great game, and has a huge following. But am I the only one who honestly does not care for it? I'm not saying it's a bad game; I'm just saying it's not my cup of tea. I would much rather play some unreal tournament with a mouse and keyboard, or immerse myself in the World that is Metroid Prime. I have played Halo and Halo 2 with friends and enjoyed it, but mostly becuase of the friends aspect of it; and not necessarily the game. Anyone else out there who is not obsessed with Halo???

 Good question... I am not a huge fan of pure FPS games unless they have something that is a twist -- i.e. Bioshock.  I don't do multiplayer.  I don't have the time and frankly it just doesn't interest me.  I always looked at Halo as a single player campaign game and didn't give it a second thought.  I knew it was an FPS and had no interest in it.  My local gamestop dude convince me to give it a try (on my 360) and at first, I didn't get into it but it didn't take long and I was strangely hooked (crack delivery through the controller perhaps?).  I couldn't put it down and when I finally did all I could think about was getting back to it and continuing the campaign.  Unlike others, I actually liked H2 better than 1 because it was less repetitive in terms of scenery and backtracking and because the story was fleshed out a little more than in 1.  I'm now drawn to 3 primarily to see where the story goes (ends) and to enjoy a little more of whatever the "crack" ingredient is in Halo that I find interesting.
