Still irritated about the time span its taking for Halo 2 to make it onto the PC. Though apart from the 'considerable delays' its a great blast on Xbox and cant wait for Halo 3 to be released. Its one of the few major games, next to Unreal Tournament 3, that im looking forward to this year. QUICK_EDIT

I wouldn't consider Halo a particularly special game. It has a nice (yet cliched) storyline and does nothing but have relatively nice graphics. The game doesn't play that badly but it's very repetitive and it's blatantly obvious that the game designers aren't really overly talented. Halo 2 was a severe let down and the original was good when played on a LAN (although most games are) and not particularly special anywhere else. There are better games to play if you want a revolutionary FPS. _________________

Halo 2 was not the best ever, but certainly Halo 3 will be the dominant multiplayer game on NEXT-Gen platforms , even if it sucks @sz, i mean i'll buy it anyway lol. _________________

i played it once and its just a mindless shooter and i cant help but feel the same about what desu said. goldeneye is a freakin old game that has horrible graphics and yet it cant be beaten. i also may add that the storyline seems dumb. (really, a giant dumb arch in space?) QUICK_EDIT

It didn't do much fun... except grenades which stick to enemy's... and flood(anyone got bored of those living potatoes?) _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT
I have Halo, combat evolved, but I certainly think it was nothing but more and more of the same.
I couldn't have put it any better, Gufu, wave after wave of damned potatoes, every level, argh. I expected a nice shooter when I bought it, I heard a lot about the game but no... All hypes.
I prefer RTS games, heck, even Soldat is better than Halo, and it's 2D! QUICK_EDIT

So does Half Life. So does FEAR.
The Halo storyline is full of clichés (and granted, so are the others to some extent, but Halo has more). If you want a great story, play Deus Ex. _________________

@ Gufu, what are you doing in your free time? :p
Well, Halo is ok, I liked the game, but it wasn't that good. it had nice graphics and that kind of stuff, but I prefer battlefield or WOII shooter.
Also, Halo Wars, the RTS version of Halo, I think that's not as good as the FPS version, Why? We'll look in the past of C&C. They made renegade, a FPS in a RTS serie. That's one of the many reasons why it flopped. Also, I think it's almost impossible to make a RTS version. (although the Halo mod for C&C (generals I thought), wasn't that bad, it looked very good) _________________

not really enthusiastic about it. 2 looks nice, but i dont own an XboX. halo1 (PC) was total crap. never played 1 for XboX.
H3 teasers look great, especially if thats really ingame graphics, but i dont own a 360 either. (time to overclock my N64? ) _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Yea, but Half Life series is a bit more epic then Halo, and FEAR...but FEAR's gameplay is Epic beyond Epic... IMHO. _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT

Would not personally go as far to say Halo is the best FPS in the world. Thats completly stupid. The best FPS title to me is more reserved for the likes of Unreal 1, Unreal Tournament 1 and Unreal Tournament 3. Alright UT3 is not out yet but it sure as hell kicks the UT2k3/2k4 series arse!
Definetly Halo would rank to me as one of the better FPS games of the last 6 years in regards to its plot and setting. Alright its got the old earth-under-attack-by-super-powerful-aliens routine and the rambo character you play to save the world, but it works.
Though on a similar note there are no truly original games as of the last 4 years that redefine the FPS shooter, in either plot or gameplay. Halo may look bland to some, but then again nearly everything else out today also looks similar to others. QUICK_EDIT

Halo is so boring, i got tired of it after 15 mins of playing (i only lasted that long because of the patato's running around yelling funny comments). Killzone & Killzone 2 crap all over it, atleast they try to make it unique, instead of the repedative Aliens invade earth and 1 man saves all crap .
As for best FPS, its far from that, its probably 1 of the worst.
Starship Troopers (FPS version), Renegade, Battlefield Series, SWAT series etc all crap over the cheap MS FPS 'success' wannabe. QUICK_EDIT
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. went gold this month and is scheduled to be released at the end of this month.
As for Halo, I don't know how it got its reputation as a revolutionary and perfect example of a first-person shooter.
I really tried to get into the first one for PC. Twice.
The underground locations are repetitive hallways.
The enemies were silly with their squeaky voices and bright designs. They weren't enough of a menace as they were portrayed in the story.
If your allies died, who cares? They would be replaced once you cross one of the many checkpoints.
The entire story revolves around how much of a bad ass Master Chief is, yet nothing in the game proves that point other than your allies saying how much of a bad ass you are.
Gameplay is nothing more than switch finding or getting to a checkpoint. Nothing we haven't seen before in the FPS genre and not something that Halo standardised.
It's sad that Bungie became Microsoft's bitch. Marathon was a superior series. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Half life is way better than Halo either for its plot and gameplay. Ut series provide the most technic games. I personally think Far Cry is an awesome single player fps. QUICK_EDIT
