Am I the only one that thinks Halo kind of sucks ?

"get" hype? WTF? You don't ever "get" hype.

hey dumbass he means his friend doesnt understand what all the hype about halo is about.

Hey, nice guy, I don't either. It doesn't live up to the hype. :roll:
 
Eh, I don't like FPS shooters using a controller in the first place, so naturally I thnk it was sort of lame. Keyboard & Mouse > Joysticks and buttons

I liked it until it turned into a stupid zombie/mutant game. I liked fighting the little aliens. Especially the ones that are small and run away when you throw a nade. They're like "oh no! run!" when you come running into the room with guns blazing :laugh:

play on legendary and those squeaky little fvckers will rip you to pieces with a needler 🙁

QUICK! To the Springfield River!!!!
 
I think it sucks. I'll take Farcry, Battlefield 1942, BF1942 Desert Combat, BF Vietnam, Painkiller, and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory before I even consider playing halo.

haha, yeah, the little guys are great. I love the "NOOOOHOOOOO" when you tag them with a 'nade.

The levels on Halo may be somewhat repetitive, but the vehicles are good, the combat is fun, the enemies are good, and the story isn't half bad. If only they had ported it correctly to the PC, where all FPS's belong anyway...*sigh*

Are you guys serious? Those guys aren't sh!t. Pistol pwns them. They shoot a needler at you, side step or get behind a wall. If there's a bunch of them, toss a frag and tear through them with your pistol. Elites were the only thing on Legendary that made the game even remotely hard.
 
It took me a while to get drawn into Halo for some reason. I think it might have been the slow pace but I never really got into it until everyone else had already let it start collecting dust on their shelves (if that's even possible). I bought an XBOX the day they came out, along with Halo and a couple other games, and I took it to a friend's house and we marveled at the nice pretty graphics and stuff but I never did play past the first level the whole time I owned my XBOX!! I then sold the XBOX and a few months later bought a used one on eBay because I missed playing a few games...everybody was STILL talking about Halo and how great it was so I was like WTF I'll buy it again and give it another chance--apparently nobody that owns an XBOX should be without Halo...

After I bought it the second time, I started the co-op campaign and was sucked in hard and fast. A friend of mine came over against his girlfriends wishes (LOL) to play Halo until we finished the game, and we did. I loved every minute of it.

Greatest game EVER? No, not for me...but it's damn good, especially by console standards. I think the game was just a bit overrated though because I've rarely seen a game that will make people "OMGjiZONIT" like Halo does (well maybe CounterStrike and Everquest, haha) and I never got so attached to it that I couldn't live without it or stayed up night after night after night after night after night playing it. But then again, I never played too much of the multiplayer portion aside from co-op so maybe that's what I missed out on. I liked Halo a lot but it won't be too hard for me to move on and enjoy other games like Far Cry and DOOM 3.
 
I thought it was fun...I've never played it on xbox though, come to think of it, I've never really played any game on xbox, I did feel it was a little repetitive though...
 
Halo was revolutionary on the console (first good FPS on a console), but in terms of a FPS, it is not that great.
For noobs without computers, this is just like the first doom (omgwatermelon).

Oh my god, that made me bust out laughing. I think the people in the apt. next to me are wondering what's wrong with me.
 
Those of you saying that FPS's on consoles suck must not have spent many long nights in front of a small tv playing 4 player split screen Goldeneye.

And comparing Halo to games like Battlefield 1942 is dumb. Halo isn't about multiplayer FPS fragging.

thus Halo sucks. all around on every platform.

...says the guy playing on a 486...

I love halo. I play PC multiplayer almost every night. My handle is drunk_injun.

Its also fun on the xbox, but I am not as precise with the controls as i am with the mouse.
 
I played the PC demo for 10 minutes and then uninstalled it. I guess I failed to see what exactly was so great about it.
 
it was annoying for the PC because i had a top of the line system when it first came out and yet there was still horrible slowdown everywhere.

also, the "master chief" can't fcking aim to save his life with that assault rifle (i can aim, but the thing just sprays everywhere)

i finally gave up on the game when i walked down the same looking hallway the 9834th time
