I just played through RE2, 3, CV, Half life (and expansions) for the first time through and thought they were all great.  Good games age well, Halo doesn't; this is coming from a person whose played halo for several hundred hours,  the first one isn't that great.  Halo 2 has much better multiplayer which is the only really good thing about the game.  The story is terrible if you ask me, character development practically isn't even existant in the hero and the plot is a typical sci-fi blend.

heh yea the "at least for me" was needed... i still rock almost all my old games... sm3 is sitting im my snes, great for playing while dirnking beers with friends, and going through ff 7 on my ps 2 ... playing some mercs on xbox, though i think ill whip out halo ce after work and have some friends over, dont thnk we have played the multiplayer on it with my 47 inch tv before i only rocked a 22 back then. oh and a game of civil war generals 2 through email based turn system...

I just played it yesterday in my Uni's PC. Halo should have stayed in PC along with Microsoft.

Wait, that is true. They should have focused on PC and thing else then.

I also had purchased Halo for the pc around 2006, just to see what all the xbox hype had been about. I hated it. I couldn't see where all the fun was, the ending was horrible, boring, repetitive, and simply did nothing for me. Characters didn't appeal to me at all, and the multiplayer was the only piece that made me play the game. More like, the sniper pistol, was the only piece that made me continue playing, and eased the pain of spending 19.99$ on that purchase. Later on, I got Halo 3, loved it, every part of it. Then I purchased Halo 2, for pc, and the multiplayer was obviously what kept this game going, not the single player. Halo 2's single player was obviously much better then Halo, but, Halo 3 was king in terms of diversity and co op, etc, but you'd expect that from sequels. Now, Halo Reach just looks phenomenal...a phenomenal hell of 13 year old kids cursing out your mother.

You think I'm a killzone fan because of my avatar? Afraid not. Both series are mediocre, 7/10 games.

halo was originaly a pc/mac game from a dev with a longstanding history of great mac gaming. i think it was 99 though it may have been 2000 when the first video of halo cmae out at WDC i think, i know steve jobs introduced bungie, and then not too much later MS bought bungie... and i died a little inside... little did i know it would give life to the xbox ....now i own halo halo2, halo 3, odst, and soon reach .... and a 360... my mac sits on the desktop longing for a past that never happend

Same game, different standards. On PC there were dozens of games that did what halo did bigger and better.

I personally don't like Microsoft in the console market. I don't want them as competition for Sony and Nintendo. My two cents.

The true Halo fans feel the same
