Halo is bad, the way it is hyped up would make anyone think it is better than god.Kptk92 wrote:

I stopped playing the first one a few hours in (on PC, PS2 is my only console ) because I just got bored. Sure to begin with the graphics were pretty and the cover system was pretty neat. But the whole game is just going cover to cover. Got old quick.Spidery_Yoda wrote:
I think the first Gears was amazing at the time. It was the first time we got a *proper* next gen game. Amazing graphics, amazing new play mechanics (cover system anyone?), brilliant atmosphere, fun gameplay.
Now though people just think of it as a repeatative linear shooting game, because every game since then has been a copy+paste.
And as a result i'm not psyched about 2 at all just now. I'll probably play it eventually.

Yep. Most of the Halo hate is almost completely baseless. I enjoyed the SP campaigns of all 3 although I don't really play the MP. The only thing I'd really agree with is that it's overrated. Of course it is. So is MGS4. Doesn't make either any less of a good game though.FatherTed wrote:

I think it's safe to say based on a)total sales, b)active players and c)reviews that the series was pretty far from shit.
Also, most of the people saying it's shit, probably haven't even played it/own a xbox.
Annoys me tbh.

edit: fuck salt
I thoroughly enjoyed the Campaign and I think it is definately one of the better campaigns I have played of any game. Legendary mode is what makes the Campaign the most enjoyable experience though. You're missing out on the multiplayer too Pose - its amazing fun, I'm constantly playing it nowPoseidon wrote:
