Halo is the most "popular" series ever. And Jimmy dont begin to tell me I suck at it. I defeat so many noobs on Halo2/Xbox Live that its not even funny. Ive kicked level 40's ***** and Im only a level 27. Even thats hard to get. So eat it. Halo2 is the greatest game ever and Halo 3 and the Halo movie will be the next biggest things this world will see.

Wheeee, the sale's clerk said this is the most popular game ever so I went and bought it, but is it popular because it's genuinely good or because everybody's else is buying it because everybody else is buying it.

I personally think Halo is a very dull game. I mean; its just a Half-life style clone that came out way-too late, and has even less of a storyline. Halo was good, but *not* [i]great[/b]

Have you played Halo 1 and 2? The storyline is great. And why is it a Half-Life clone? Because it's a FPS??? There's absolutely NO similarity between those franchises. And it didn't come out too late. Halo 1 single-handedly saved the Xbox from extinction. Even my grandma knows that, and she's 75 :-P

Halo was the one FPS that I thought was actually original. Better then all the frantic-speed UT games, Halo was more of "Turtle warfare" that rewarded cover and retreating.

Half-Life 2 just felt like Half-Life. Without Halo, the Xbox would be a large Gamecube right now.

Looking forward to Halo on the 360.

That halo is the most popular is certianly debatable, I've seen much more popular games. Pacman, space invaders, Lemnmings (if I was asked to play lemmings or Halo, I would play lemmings, that is one wicked game) Sonic the hedgehog is so popular they got it on several platforms so the people who love it can play it, and thats just the original. If you're gonna say, what about 3D, Doom and quake has sold more than Halo, and Doom, like Sonic has taken the cross platform approach (Even mobile phones)

So really, the point I'm crossing over is that, you shouldn't preach how awesome a game is in your opinion, because, it'll piss people off, so, they'll express how much they hate it...well like Jimmy did.

Doom and quake have also been out WAYYYYYY longer than halo, so that's not a fair comparisson.

c'mon, Counter Strike is more popular than Halo (around here anyway) and that doesn't prove anything. We all know UT is the best FPS out there anyway.

The first time I played Halo, was just before Halo2 came out, because my brother had it lying around so I figured "why not?" and gave it a try. Was one of my favorite xbox games at that point, then I rented Halo2 and it was all the much better, can't wait for Halo3(although i will probably buy it years later), just hope there are some BIG changes in it so it's not just another repeat.

Although, my all-time favorite game(s) for Xbox would have to be Ghost Recon/2 , I absolutely loved them, (followed by Fable and Counter-Strike)

I've played Halo 1, but not 2
The storyline (or what I'd class as a storyline) is a yawn

Yeah, they both just happen to be about killing aliens from another planet

An FPS that would really make me happy would be something that got away from the 'killer alien' scenario. I mean - Half-life, Quake,Quake2, Quake3... they've already done it. Its old hat. Then suddenly... BANG!

Halo does the exact same thing and everyone loves it. I just don't get people these days. How can you constantly love the same game type being constantly rehashed again and again?

that all there is to love. the war based fps' got out of control though, theres way too many of those.

Halo 1 started off well and then got exceptionally dull about the same time you met the flood. Lets go through this level. hmm damn it i appear to be walking in circles im so lost i suck at this.. no wait.. i AM going the right way its just this room is a prefab that is being used repeatedly making me think i've somehow doubled back! grah!

...15 minutes of walking through the same 3 room prefabs.. omgz a new room! A NEW ROOM! ..5 minutes of cutscene... er, wtf, walk back?! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING! another 15-30 minutes of walking back through the same boring prefab rooms with the same boring monsters again and again. it really didnt get much better.

Cant comment on halo 2, never really played it except a little multiplayer.

incidently my friend was at a private showing of the xbox360 several weeks ago and was testing it out etc, i saw the pics n movies. The games DO look nice i'll give it that! But i expect /all/ the games to look nice on the next gen consoles - it really didnt shine in any way special to me and its still an xbrick, most of its features are gimmicks - like the PA dude was trying to make a hugely big thing about the fact you can eject the game disc /from your controler/ like it was uber amazing, completly missing the point that you still had to get up to change the damn disc anyway >.> and the day we dont have to do that is the day everyone gets fat.

..fatter.

You can read my friends review of it here: http://www.entertainmentwise.com/review?id=9637

I personally think she was sucking up because she got invited to a nice private showing with funky sofas and high def tvs, but meh >.>

So does Space Invaders. And Unreal Tournament. And Sinistar. Can you compare Halo to Space Invaders?

One word: playability. Most people who own consoles (at least my console-head friends) never had powerful PCs to play the latest round of FPS. When Halo came out it was like gold raining down from heaven. Myself, I've been playing FPS' since the beginning, and I still play Halo 1 and 2. And I play Half-Life 1 and 2, and many others as well.

Quote: "The storyline (or what I'd class as a storyline) is a yawn "


You said so yourself you never played Halo 2. And it wasn't just about blowing away aliens. You sound like you're just repeating all the other Halo haters out there. What was so unoriginal about the storyline for Halo? I mean for one thing, in Halo 2 you play as the bad guys. Is that present in Half-Life? Doom? Give me a break...

The Covenent in Halo weren't just another mutated mindless horde of monsters like they are in Half Life and Doom. That is what makes the Halo series different.

It isn't pointless, if people are discussing halo then there is definately a point. This is just what happens when teh fan boyyyzzzzz post single line threads about how 'awesome' something is, people interpret their own topic and just have a bit of fun.

In my opinion Halo wasn't bad, it was quite fun and kept me playing for a while but I've never finished it. Not because I was turd, I just got to the start of the mawl, stopped playing and never started again. Happens all the time.

that's big of you, consitering HL isn't it's own style, HL itself is based off of Quake.

I don't like Halo 2's story line at all, yeah it was a good idea to let you be the covenant, but the single player sucked :/

I like a lot of things they did in H2, like how they did dual weapons and stuff. but it makes me mad that they promised all this stuff, finished it, and then took it out because it "didn't fit the story line", give me a break, GIVE IT TO US IN MULTIPLAYER, which also sucked.
they should've included all the levels from the other game, UNCHANGED.
and they should've finished the game before releasing it, because, not everyone has XBox live to patch their CONSOLE games. buggy buggy buggy buggy...

Quote: "So eat it. Halo2 is the greatest game ever and Halo 3 and the Halo movie will be the next biggest things this world will see.
"

you are one opinionated dorkfish. but one problem...
have you seen the Halo Movie? have you played Halo 3?
shut up, you can't have an opinion on things that don't exist

anywho... I should go find a XBox 360 and see if it's any good :/

Pretty much what it is, I'm a spongebob fan, so, lets say how amazing he is

Personally, I'd say the best shoot 'em ups I've played are the Hitman and Splinter Cell lot, keep me playing for ages, best FPS's to me are the Quake lot, lets stop this thread, I mean, the amount of times I see things Halo, Halflife or Star Wars biased is unbelievable. Yes, we find out from someones point of view the new X-box is amazing. Leave it at that, was that not the point?

Quote: " Doom and quake have also been out WAYYYYYY longer than halo, so that's not a fair comparisson."

Not part of the point I was making, he said Halo IS the most popular game ever, not it COULD be the best game ever, so I contradict him.

exactly.

my pc can run half life 2 on the lowest settings, but it slows down a ton. Consoles are easy to use for the normal person, and dont require you to go buy a specific gfx card to play em on.


Halo 2's main quality to me is the multiplayer, it is one of the most balanced games i have ever played, there is no one weapon that totally pwns all the rest, and there isnt a "gold spot" on any map where you just cant be killed (unless you have the un-updated version of halo 2, you can glitch to some pretty cool places).

You DO know that 100% of the games that are released, console or not, have bugs, right? I'd MUCH rather be able to download patches on a PC or Xbox Live than not have the option on, say, a GBA. Any developer that claims their games are bug free are lying, and everyone in the industry knows this

There were no MAJOR bugs that I found in Halo 2, and I've played the single and multiplayer modes to death. My Live account expired before I could get the patch, and I still play single player. Again--- no problems. The major thing I hate is the graphical pop-up, but that is NOT a bug.

yes I realize that, but the obvious ones...?

haha, it took me and my friends 10 minutes to find more bugs in that game than we have found in Halo.

You can get places in Single player that you are not suposed to get to, you can tell, because you can see through places and such
can't tell you what level because I haven't played since it came out

2 player mode, get one person in the Scorpian tank and someone in that other big tank, have them drive at each other, right before they collide have the person in the purple tank use the BOOST, if done right, it will launch the scorpian tank in the air spinning out of control, and there is no way they did that on purpose...
and there is much much more, just can't remember them, it's been almost a year since I've played that game

Quote: "and they should've finished the game before releasing it, because, not everyone has XBox live to patch their CONSOLE games. buggy buggy buggy buggy..."

what I meant from that was, they forced the release, they didn't want to disappoint their fans anymore, so they just said, "Ok, job done, lets just let it fly for now", you can TELL they were planning a patch, and that is just horrible to do, no one has a good excuse to do something like that.

Joel: If you have actually gotten to those places where you're not "supposed" to go... You'll know that they wanted you to be able to explore. Up in the main level where you can really get to places outside the original limit, there's a hidden easter egg right up there.

There's also the sputnik skull that is made so you can grenade jump higher and get to places you're not "supposed" to go.

Those aren't bugs.

Is that acurate? Cuz I think that's not true. It was a great game, but there have been many many better games.

Examples of better games:
Goldeneye
Zelda OoT
FFX

This game list is only a matter of my opinion, it is not intended to contradict your opinion that any of these are not better then the Halo series.

If you stand not beside me, then I assume you to be my enemy.

Izzy545: don't give me that bull crap...
when you get "under" a level and start "killing" every enemy on the map in an area you aren't "supposed" to go, I call that a "bug", what do "you" call "it"?

there is a "difference" between an easter egg and a bug.

is it an easter egg to be able to "launch" a scorpian tank in random directions with a random "force" applied to it? "personally" I have seen the exact same thing with my "own" dark basic projects "using" newton, when you do something wrong with the "physics" it goes all "wacko".

now stop defending your precious game and open your "eyes" to the truth

I REALLY don't think Halo is close to one of the most popular games, yes, it had a fad for some time, but there are tons better games out there...
Classics they call them

I'll give you some toast

Holy defensive :o

Yay, let's put everything in quotes to mock me, because I put "supposed" in quotes to illustrate a point. You're a winner!

And yes, going under the map is a bug, I thought you were talking about getting on top of a map through use of crafty jumping.

I do think this game is amazing. No other game has ever kept me interested for 11 months straight with a minimum of 2 hours play a week. I figure their must be something special about it.

And that something special is the balanced multiplayer. It is normally a very even battle when I play ranked games, the only exception being when someone pulls out the PP/BR combo which is the only stupid thing they put in there.

Anyway... I want to hear more about how the Xbox 360 played rather than listen to people argue over Halo(2). Great games, whatever, not the only great games, new stuff coming up. Lets just agree on that. OK? So assuming that other guy will respond some more about Xbox 360 I want to ask him if he thought the controller felt right. I've heard that it feels nice and is very ergonomic, but every picture I see of it, it looks a little strange. Is it really a nice feeling in your hand as it's hyped up to be?

I find it rather funny when there's a massively popular game, like Halo 2 or Half-Life 2, and the haters come out from the woodwork claiming it to be nearly the worst game in the history of games.

Joel said this in another thread:

it's right up there with Halo 2 and Pokemon TGC for the GB"


Just have to ROFL over that one.

Quote: "haha, it took me and my friends 10 minutes to find more bugs in that game than we have found in Halo."


It's not a major bug unless you can reproduce them. If you randomly happen to chance across a hole in the level where you can see through walls, etc., then it's really not a big deal! I mean, I found a random crash bug on Beyond Good & Evil the other day. Does this mean it's bug-ridden, "buggy, buggy, buggy"?

And your example of the tank flipping around is pretty cool. Sure it's a bug, but it's not something that has ever happened to me or anyone else I know. Most people only "discover" this when they read about it on a game website (most likely what you did).

Or when they obsess over a game, get accused of playing it by their friends, then because they are in an insecure social class find a wierd bug to show their friends they were just trying to find a bug in the game to criticize it.
