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.
Same here, except I was 10 when the first Halo came out. I loved the story. When you first see that whats-his-face marine's helmet video and encounter the Flood, it REALLY got me into the game. Plus, the books helped me understand the story much better.FatherTed wrote:

I'm with you. I have played h2, but I just don't like it, it doesn't do anything to me.ELITE-UK wrote:

...and you wonder why? In order to get into Halo, you really needed to have played the original and Halo 2.HurricaИe wrote:
When I had a 360 I just couldn't get into Halo for some reason (got Halo 3).
I was talking about the multiplayer seemed every match I joined (the 'boot camp' stuff) there was some guy who most definitely was not a new player...Poseidon wrote:

Halo multiplayer is overrated. I'm talking story mode wise. The only reason I like Halo is the story.HurricaИe wrote:

Also, I mean look at these graphics. Some games TODAY don't even have these kind of graphics.

wow, i had never thought of that.Vilham wrote:
Before people bitch...
Humans = terrain
Protoss = covenant
Zerg = flood
Halo = Zel'Naga Temple
Flood made by people who made Halo = Zerg made by Zel'Naga
Kerrigan = Computer AI, both get infested by flood/zerg
Zerg infest terrain = Flood infest Humans
Halo key = Thingy crystal, both activate the device with which to kill the creations.
These are just a few similarities i can think of in 10 seconds...
If it wasnt for the whole zerg/zel'naga = flood/halo thing they wouldnt be that similar, but they took some blatant inspiration there.
Like what?Poseidon wrote:

The story itself I feel wasn't its biggest selling point by far. The huge environments, the graphics (for 2001), the A.I. and huge battles were its real selling points and all on a 733Mhz machine with a GeForce 3. When I first played it, I really hadn't a clue what was going on, all I knew was that I had an assault rifle and it was pretty fun to shoot aliens with. I (accidentally) skipped the cutscene where you see through the marine's helmet so the rest of the game made zero sense with the flood. Through my multiple playthroughs of the game, I eventually took a real notice of the story and pieced it all together. Also, what game today doesn't surpass those sort of graphics? Today it seems every games developer wants HDR and self-shadowing in their games. Bar something like Sam & Max where the graphics aren't meant to sell, what title doesn't match up?Poseidon wrote:

Well that's what I meant (about games like Sam and Max). They're not really supposed to have great graphics, but it just shows how advanced Halo was for it's time.Fat_Swinub wrote:

You're right. I can see the comparisons totaly. Shit, every time I sit down and play some Halo I totaly think "Wow, these guys totaly copied starcraft!"Vilham wrote:
Its successful because its a FPS copy of the worlds most successful RTS game... Starcraft. Halo literally copies so much from Starcraft its incredible they cant be sued for copyright.
lol... have you even played SC?? I doubt it, you sound like on of those Halo jock retards. Piss off back to ibumxboxforums.killaer wrote:

You point out stupid similarities that could apply to just about any 2 games in the same sci-fi universe type setting.
NO YOU'RE RIGHT HALO IS A COPY OF STARCRAFT BOTH OF THEM HAD GUNS THE END HALO SUCKS COPIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your comparisons can basically be used for any sci fi game. What you try to do is say WELL BOTH OF THEM HAVE A HUMAN AND ALIEN FACTION THEN THEY MUST BE COPIES, RIGHT?
Are you really this stupid, or is this some kind of gimmick joke account made especially for trolling? God, I hope it is.
Believe it or not, but Starcraft was not the first game to invent a plot involving aliens. People like you are the ones who go on forums and scream that games like Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War and Starcraft are all copies of eachother and the companies that developed them are all evil and terrible.
