This was very exciting and I am glad to see Halo evolve into a worthile game. The trailers were always awesome though. I still think 1-3 are mediocre shooters at best, but Reach is adding a bunch of new things which look very promising. Might even re-enable my LIVE account for it if it's great enough.


So, you think Halo: CE is a mediocre shooter?


Considering I had been playing since arond 1990 starting with my NES and then adding a PC, Halo:CE was inded an extremely mediocre shooter for what was out at the time. It fell under UT, Quake,  HL, and even CS. It was definitely better than some shooter coughDiakatanacough, but definitely not anywhere close to the top of the ladder at the time.

In multiplayer, maybe, but the campaign is still amongst the best in the genre. Of your list, only HL rivals it, and that one of the best games of all time.

The campaign in CE may not be halflife, but it certainly isn't mediocre. I had no interest in the game, and starting playing it on PC because my brother had a pirated copy, and I couldn't freakin' stop. It was very addictive, and nobody had ever put all of those recent gaming innovations together in such a way. The game bleeds quality, and I think it set the standard for most of our modern shooters. Most games before it, felt antiquated after it was released. That game is great. I've been playing since Atari, and I know when something stands out, and that game stood out. I give it a 9/10 and an award for most influential campaign in a shooter right up there with Goldeneye.

I bet Goldeneye was mediocre too, huh?

NO NO, NO NO NO.
