Is it all about Halo these days?

Why is it all about Halo and Halo2?

[-hellvin-]

I dunno, what is it all about?

[thegreatescape]

Whatever this "Halo" thing is it is, Enemy Territory pwns it.

I need a medic!!

[JSFox]

I like Halo, but the kids at school are Halo-Crazy. They say the Halo books are the best books ever, Halo 2 will be the best game ever.....

I hate halo.

[MarioAllStar2600]

Halo won so many awards. It was a good FPS and multiplayer was great. All I liked was multiplayer... but that's just me.

So multiplayer is great, but didn't have xbox live. Now the second oen will bring campaign mode back to life with a new story. Multiplayer will be on Live now. Which means you don't need multiple box's and tons of players in one location.

That is how I look at it at least.

[Cmosfm]

What? SHIT, It's all about Halo?!?!?!

Man, I guess I need to break down and buy that game or something.

[Kroogah]

Because people keep making topics about it?

[kai123]

Maybe because Microsoft has an excellent franchise now and some people can't stand that for whatever reason. If you haven't played it then you need to get off your butt and do so.

I dunno...I played a few times at my cousin's house and didn't really see what the big deal was. That might just be because I dislike FPS games in general. Anyway, I work at my local funcoland, and we must have at LEAST 400 reserves for Halo 2. I should know. I alphabetized them. :Passes out:

[Hakkenden]

Halo = most over rated game of all time

Played it at my freinds house, its go boring fast i found myself so uninterested while playing I did things like try to jump on moving tanks and blow us both up with grenades and attacking people by hitting them with the rocket launcher (which apperently took more damage than most other things). When i found out that the game everone said was the best avilable for x-box was this pathetic i finally made up my mind that i would never invest in a x-box.

hahahaha!, totally!

The Halo books are crap, about the same literature value as the Worlds of Power series, fun to read-perhaps for fans but otherwise devoid of any cogent qualities.

As far as the imminent Halo 2, Halo (1) was so spot on, a superlative console FPS, wonderful multi-player support, and extraordinary production value; is it any surprise that the sequel is so highly anticipated?

[kainemaxwell]

Played Halo a few times and though is impressive, its just a FPS with an excellent multiplayer. it's not the god of games as everyone claims it to be.

Though Halo did spawn Red vs. Blue. :P

[Promophile]

I hated Halo. Goldeneye and PD did FPS way better. You can only carry 2 guns at once? punches are the strongest weapon? WTF.

[youngamer]

Its all about the DOOM series!!!!!!

[Ed Oscuro]

Edited for TRUTH!

Maybe because Microsoft bought an excellent franchise now and removed the intelligent story and grenade bouncing from it

I agree, they're doing great things with Halo 2, but it's not going to be the butter on my existentialist toast. It's not the rasperry jam on a salvation sandwich. It's not the best thing ever. Just another nice thing. Sometimes...when I forget that I've been in this room before.

Ditto, I had so much more fun playing Goldeneye than Halo, Halo=overrated

[themessage]

I've got an extensive FPS background, and I have no idea why people think Halo is so good. About the only thing Halo has going for it is the music and the pretty Halo that surrounds the planet. The singleplayer is repetitive, and the multiplayer has nothing going for it besides the fact you are playing Halo against other people.

Using my amazing stereotyping ability + common sense. I'm led to believe these console gamers haven't played many online PC games. Which is why you're either a PC gamer playing Sims/CounterStrike/UT/MMORPG games, or your're a console player. I think that's how it usually goes, people can't afford to be into both. Being able to afford to play modern PC games is a feat in itself.

[Promophile]

Thank god there aren't many Halo fanboys here. I think the reason Halo is so popular is that 90 pct of the fanboys haven't played Goldeneye or Perfect Dark, or are total graphics whores.

Ditto that, but I prefer Time Splitters 2 multiplayer over them both
