for you guys that dont like halo,why?

I just dont find myself ethralled by it, its not a bad game but in my eyes its overrated.

^hmm i can go with that,but alot of people hate it for some reason

It's overyhped and generic, with a good soundtrack :P

^also its story is good(atleast i like it)

I've only played the first one. Wasn't as fun as goldeneye or perfect dark.

 but did you dislike it?

look it's a good game..I played it after all the hype...so it bored me..it was just another shooter for me..

I liked CoD more

I don't hate it, i just hate how people bill it as an amazing game when it reality it's an above average FPS with a meh story. When Halo 1 came out it raised the bar for console FPS games, nothing on PS2/GC could match it - fresh gameplay, system link, awesome local & online MP. When Halo 3 was released it was not the definitive game that 1 was.

Never played 1 or 2, so I'm not sure what I missed story-wise, but 3 just didn't grab me with its abrupt opening. I also generally don't like games where you do nothing else but shoot. Gears, for example, has a cover system lends a lot of tension to the game; Halo felt much more monotonous.
