Is it because its too popular? Is it because you want it on your choice system but can't have it? Is it because you got destroyed the one time you played, and now hate it because you suck at it? Is it because you have no friends that play it (Cause Halo isn't quite as fun if you have no friends to play it with) I can understand not liking the game, but there is absolutly no reason to hate it. And each Halo has improved massive amounts above the prior one. So how about the haters stop hating on Halo, play it, and read the books. And you'll find you enjoy it alot more. |
I bought Halo for the PC a few years ago. I mean, it was a good 5-6 years after all the hype, so I was hoping I could enjoy it...
First of all, vehicle sequences are usually a lot of fun... but Halo ruined the controls by having you "point" the vehicles rather than directly steering them. I got used to it... but driving the Warthog was never as fun as it should have been.
The campaign was extremely repetetive. It honestly felt like it would have been a good 5-6 hour game, which was ruined by some designers who just copy/pasted levels. I recall about 2/3 of the way through, I would destroy a room full of enemies, go across a bridge, and be confronted with an identical room on the other side... and when I went through that room, an identical bridge... I almost quit playing after playing the same bridge 3 or 4 times because I didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything.
Overall, the game was okay... but it doesn't compete with Half Life, Half Life 2, System Shock 2, Deus Ex, or many of the other fantastic FPS's out for PC at the time. If the game was just released on PC, it would gotten mid-high 80's for score, and probably would have been forgotten shortly after.
(Hopefully you see that I'm not just trolling, I actually took the time to answer your question...)
