Ignoring the whole child-molester trial (in which he was found innocent) and w/e other personal problems you have (with him?), you should be able to admit that Michael Jackson was a great artist. His songs were hits and he is probably one of the best dancers of all time.
FYI, I spelled the name wrong on purpose just because I thought it was pretty cool to do so. Sorta like when people make fun of macs or microsoft, etc.
For one, since you're a PC/graphics/leet fanboy, Halo (CE&2) graphics > Deus Ex's
The cutscenes sucked and the game was as boring as err umm watching grass grow.
And don't even argue Halo was repetitive, DE was much worse

I've played Halo three times. The first time I quit at The Library, the second time I quit at the snowy area where you blow up the generators, and the third time I beat it. I've also played quite a few FPSs, and not all of them were generic ones like Halo.
So you have never played multiplayer? Then w(hy)th are you even arguing against Halo at all?
Halo's multiplayer
is one of the best experiences out there, up with CS.

You're right, there is very little that is special about FEAR. However, it is still a fun game to play. Just because a game isn't 100% orginal doesn't mean that it sucks. What is special about Halo, aside from how they managed to ruin the gaming industry?
Special about it? The multiplayer is pretty intense/original/unique/fun/big/etc.

Haha, what's so original about Halo's weapons? They have a pistol (original? shens), an assault rifle (original? shens), a wimpy shotgun (original? shens), a fusion pistol (that was stolen from Marathon), a rocket launcher (that was stolen from Marathon), a plasma rifle (which is ok), and the needler (which is quite awesome). Ignoring the grenades those are the only ones I remember, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Sure there are pistols and shotguns in other games, but what do you expect? The game is based off of real-life, there are going to be similar weapons in most games.
In face, it is better that they used common weapons, rather than making up stupid fantasy weapons, makes the game more personal.
I can't say I've ever seen sticky grenades before in a game.
And you forgot the Carbine, which is original, as is the covenant sniper.

wtf are you talking about? Halo has no more skill than the generic PC shooter. It's just Mountain Dew induced twitching. Since when is "smacktalking" a console trait, and since when is it positive? "ur a mexican jew lizard" isn't really that funny.
Halo has no more skill than other games? Well, as you said, you've never played multiplayer so you would have no idea, I understand.
You see, in Halo, you actually have to communicate. The fact that communicator headsets come with your XBL subscription, almost 100% of people playing Halo have them. You have to call out enemy positions, strategize, etc.
In a game like BF2, no one talks. If someone is talking, they are just talking about how there dog just tried to hump the couch or something of that manner.
To be good at halo, you have to be able to 4-shot enemies with the BR, be well equipt with the lower-powered weapons, have decent sniping skill (1 headshot kill, 2 bodyshot, unlike most generic 1 shot anywhere kill shooters), have nice placement with grenades (stickies), etc
and as a team, you have to work together, control the map, cover each other's blindsides, etc, etc.
CS is the only game that comes close, but only really in leagues and stuff - but this is all the time in Halo
I reccomend that you plug in your Xbox, get a 2-month free trial, and play some Halo 2 on Live, as you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
