That is so annoying. Instead of arguments, the guy just says it is revolutionary, amazing, best console FPS ever, yadda, yadda, yadda. Looks like extremist religious man or a Final Fantasy VII fan. Fun is a subjective aspect, but Halo is not revolutionary, deep or epic. How a game where 30% of the stages are just initial level backwards be epic. Overcomplicated story is not the same as deep. Halo weapon`s are not even new to make it revolutionary (also they do not work properly). For me it was a 6 kind of game.

For fuck`s sake. I am not into the FPS genre and I know at least 10 games better than Halo on consoles and PC.

So dear Halo fans, have fun if your game. Just do not try to push that crap as the best game ever on gamers that have above average tastes.

See guys he explained why he didnt like the game. Not just blind Halo sucks stuff. I would prefer you stated it as your opinion and not that this is how it is. Your opinion isnt fact.

 

Now Mii have you played 3? If you read the books and totally absorb the story I think it is an incredible sci fi classic. Maybe the games don't go into the story a lot because, of course, your too busy shootin stuff. I do hate how people have said that its all been done on the PC, I think controllers optimize reaction times enabling it to be a quicker and better game than on the PC, that is why I think it is revolutionary. You saying the weapons don't make any sense is confusing though cause they make sense to me........

 

I think it is the best game ever (of its genre).

 

What do you think tops halo?

 No I have not played Halo 3 and that is why I avoid talking about it. I was talking about the first game. As for the game history I think we shall get some things straight. It sucks, but almost all games history sucks. There is a difference between deep history with content and competent well delived history. Almost every game features the second kind of history line. What I mean is that a history about saving the world/princess can be great as long as the history`s development is good. Halo is ok is this development, but taking it for more than what it is worth is just stupid. Do not take this as a insult, almost all my favorite games have plot`s that would not stand a logic check.

Second, if you buy the books and extra stuff that makes you more of a hardcore fan than a literary critic. What I mean here is that there is s lot of extra stuff that fill plot holes in games (cartoons special, comic books, books, audio files), however this does not make the plot good. You may really love the series and I can symphathize with you, but I think you may be a little "blind" (not as an insult) to take critcism or make them yourself.

As for the weapons, let me go into more detail. This is one of the things that makes Halo so crappoy for me.

- 8 weapons total
- carry only 2 at a time
- 3 weapons are very rare (shotgun that appears after level6, sniper rifle and rocket laucher)
- 3 are worthless needler and rifle and plasma rifle
- weapons are very weak and damage is screwed up, one elite may take 2 rockets, full rifle and pistols clip, 4 sniper bullets or just a melee with a cheap plastic pistol to the back. Brutes take 4 rockets or just a piustol bullet in the belly.
- all weapons are broken, do not work how they should (you need FPS experience to understand this)
Pistol - long range weapon, very accurate, great power and scarce ammo (atributes are opposite to all FPS I know)
Rifle - worthless crap,  innacurate, weak,  large clip (that does not make sense for an automatic long range weapon)
Sniper - very powerfull but useless against the flood. It is better used at close range than the shotgun (???). Crappy clip (4 bullets). Shots fast.
RL - powerfull but less than a charged shot. It is so slow that you can not even kill an Elite with one shot. Crapiest ammo capacity.
Shotgun - powerfull and fast (shotguns are slow). A lot of ammo for a shotgun. Useless against elites.
Plasma pistol - very usefull, can not reload but it is everywhere. Can shot faster than the plasma rifle (if you press it fast). Charged shot is cheap. Shot are slow
Plasma rifle - useless when playing on heroic and legendary. Overheats quickly, shots slower than pistol, shots are slow and can not charge.
Needler - crap. Can not be used against more than 2 enemies. Too slow,homing shots get lost along the way.
