And I'm sorry eugene but have you ever stopped to wonder why you've never met a PC gamer who thinks Halo is special? Did you ever wonder why the game ranks a 70% on PC while it's over 90% on the Xbox despite the PC version having more features? It's obviously not some hatred of it not being on our console since both Halo and Halo 2 are available on PC.

It's because they are simply years behind PC FPS games. We've been playing games like System Shock 2, Half-Life series, Unreal Tournament series, Quake series, etc. for years. A full decade before the release of Halo 2 PC FPSes were offering more complex gameplay and a better, much more fleshed out, online system. We STILL have a better online system through Steam for absolutely free along with a better digital distribution system than Xbox Live has.

In fact, Microsoft is now trying to encroach on us with their bullshit Windows Live crap that no one is buying because it's absolutely ridiculous to expect PC users to pay $50 a year for far less features than we get with Steam for free. Halo is a great CONSOLE FPS series, but it simply doesn't offer anything for PC gamers that we can't get better elsewhere. I think Halo 3 is a great shooter... for the 360.  Just like I think Metroid Prime Hunters is a great shooter for the Nintendo DS.  It's great for the platform it's on, but it's just not comparable to games on the PC. 

Actually I havent wondered that. Most of the games mentioned above for fantastic PC games have appeared in one form or another on the Xbox platform also. Ive played most of them and dont feel they are uber superior either. Half Life and Half Life 2 to me was a bore fest as I just wanted to kick ass and felt restricted. But yes, the in game story telling was great. Review scores have nothing to do with how much a game is actually liked. Look at the great sales for games that failed critically but are commercial hits like Carnival games and Mario Party 8 and Im sure the people playing them love it.Your observing everything from a hardcore pc gamers perspective. Not everyone looks at things in that tunnel vision. Halo and Halo 2 are for the most part casual pc games that anyone can pick up and play and have fun with without ever having played a fps game in their life. What a fanatic UT player thinks is great does not sway my opinion on how I view games or the majority of casual gamers. Its hard to convince someone having fun that in reality, their not really having fun because you believe somthing is so so so so much better. Halo games are fun and thats all it was ever meant to be. If it wasnt, it wouldnt keep selling great with each iteration many of which were repeat buyers. If you thought Quake was the epitimamy of all games and a standard to which games should be measured, thats your opionion and Im not here to convince you that you really didnt like it.

I did not like half life either. Decent post eugene.

In all its opinions, and peoples opinions are not fact. Reviews are not facts on how well a game can be loved by someone.
