Is it OK to feel Halo 1 is the best shooter this gen???

On console - sure it's probably still one of if not the best for SP campaign - obviously it's MP has been eclipsed by others doing the same thing better.

However if I bring in PC I still say Half Life franchise tops it, particularly for SP campaign.

But on console sure it remains great - in fact it reminds me how much Halo itself has fallen with regards campaign, from the pitch perfect original to the weak Reach SP campaign.

I dont think Reach was weak. At least compared to the tosh  of campaigns we have nowadys. Next to Halo CE  though it has fallen.

EDIT: Halos miltiplayer IMO is the last decent Console MP. Its not unbalance with weaon upgrades and perks. Its traditional MP the way it should be.

Oh believe me there are many better online console games than halo

in terms of competitive online console shooters, no console game even comes close to halo reach or even halo 3 for that matter. Some could have better campaigns, (bioshock, portal, killzone 2). Some have more unique online play, (left 4 dead, team fortress 2). But absolutely  nothing on consoles comes close in terms of competitive play. Add in near unlimited customization of map layouts, weapon locations, and powerups via forge. A FREE stat tracking website that puts call of duty elite to shame, and a completely fleshed out "horde" mode and the game offers the best bang for your buck as well. Of course if you don't like halo's gameplay you won't enjoy it, but if you do you can literarly play the game forever and still experience new things every day.

I really hope someone tries to mention killzone 3 as an overall better alternative so I can get a good laugh.

Please, Socom 2 shits on anything the Halo series has every dreamed of doing.
