You know, in all honesty, I have no idea what draws me to it. I mean, I love sci-fi shit, but Halo just drew me in the first day I played it when the original Xbox launched. Perhaps it's the whole "super soldier" thing, and the advanced marines segment...I don't know.
All I know is, Assault on the Control Room = best leval evar

I hope they redo Halo someday for a next-gen console. They did that with MGS1 so it's only fair.

With Halo you had the flagship title of the newest company to start making consoles. It was quite a technological achievement for 2001 to have maps as big as Halo with that amount of enemies with a solid framerate. Combined with decent gameplay and good A.I. and it was a really good title.
Halo 2 was hype, hype and more hype. I would have wagered that the day Halo 2 came out, some coma patients didn't even know their own name but they knew Halo 2 was coming out. Though, its life came from mainly the ability to play online through XBL which combined with the faster action gameplay than Halo, made it a great hit.
Halo 3 was even more hype than last time and is probably our closest attempt at contacting life on other planets. It actually had substance, which is what Halo 2 failed to deliver. You have more guns, more vehicles, balanced weapons (no super nerfed pistol/shotgun or ultra powerful dual needler combination). They brought back the nice big maps of Halo which was good for old fans and the multiplayer is a lot of fun (unless you have a brain in which case you play anything but big team battle stupidity).
The only reason I really didn't like Halo 2 was because of the "Boss Battle". That's what made Halo 1 so unique...the last level was driving. In an FPS game!Fat_Swinub wrote:

Sounds like someones just had sex with Halo 3.FatherTed wrote:
Good campaign mode (apart from the WTF ending of Halo 2)
Good music
Good graphics (esp Halo 1 at the time)
Good plot
Good charecter development - , Cortana, Master Chief, The covanant - they all have their own deep story
(mostly) good level design
Good online support
Balanced Multiplayer
Stable Multiplayer
Few bugs/glitches
Massive fan base.
Multiplayer options
One of the first (console) games to adopt the regen health idea - no fucking searching for med packs, keep the game flowing
One of the first to involve melee and vehicles on a large scale
Lots more, but im too wired on caffiene to think clear.
I think most people who bash halo are just riding a bandwagon tbh, i've never ever met someone who played halo1 for the first time, and didn't think "WOW".
Halo is a good game, face it.
O wait, it's not BF2...
Please...this is coming from someone who, besides Sam, is the biggest PS3 fanboy on Earth.ELITE-UK wrote:

Be honest, do you really think that the reason Halo is popular is because of its story? Do you think the 12-14 year old demographic really care about the story?Bulldogz wrote:
Good story tbh.
Honestly, If the halo was just a movie, or a book, it'd be just as popular imo.
