I seriously don't know how there can be PC gamers who's a fan of Halo when there are so many superior first-person shooters on the PC.

But still, are there any PC gamers who are Halo fans?

I like Halo, but I need to point out that I was strictly a console and handheld gamer until 2006. If I'd been a PC gamer when Halo came out, my opinion of it might have been different.

While I still game on consoles and my DS, the vast majority of my gaming time is now spent on PC games.

No, it's so stupid.

Developer 1: "Hey, let's make a five hour FPS game!"
Publisher: "Nope, not long enough."
Developer 1: "Hmm I can't think of anything."
Developer 2: "I know! We take the first half of the game, reverse it, and add some stupid aliens that explode or crawl around!"
Publisher: "Excellent idea. Plus, console gamers are too stupid to notice that it's the same thing...but in reverse!"
Developer 1: "But what do we do about PC gamers?"
Publisher: "We don't care about the PC anymore. Even if it was the original gaming platform, F 'em. We don't need intelligent gamers."
Developer 1: "Huh?"
Publisher: "We have enough stupid console gamers so we don't need a good PC game."

I played them for the story, I loved the books and such, and its a pretty awesome story, but as in enjoying the game...they were alright I guess. I argue with my friends how it would have made a much better strategy game or RPG.

I loved the first Halo and Halo 2 was decent, but the online was amazing for me since it was my first multiplayer experience over the internet.

I used to only be a console gamer up until a few years ago, though I would go to the internet cafe sometimes to play Counterstrike. Now I can't stand to play consoles almost entirely. I played Halo 3 and it was nice to finish the story, but I put that game to bed after it was done.

I liked the story. I only played it to see the story I actually found it quiet entertaining :). But I havn't played halo since halo 3 (only played to see the ending). Ever since I have gotten a good pc I haven't played my console since (so almost 2 years ^^).

I don't mind halo. It's not the greatest, not the worst either, though. It really upsets me how they keep just cranking out these games, though. Cashing in on previous success with only a few gimmicky things added inis something I really refuse to support. I will most likely not be buying any of the new halo games.

LOL at the Halo haters and PC gamers that think PC gaming is like the second coming of Jesus. anyways, Halo's not as revolutionary as they say, but it's decent. it's great at parties, though I find it hard to believe that Halo (and ANY OTHER FRIGGEN FPS ON ANY SYSTEM for that matter) is used in serious gaming tournaments. i wouldn't consider myself a PC gamer or a 360 gamer because I consider myself the rare, true breed of gamers simply known as "a gamer", so my opinion would be irrelevant to the Westboro PC-Elitist Churchbulletsword

Halo was alright, it's multiplayer was pretty fun actually, I played it for some time and the vehicle integration was better than most. It's single player was alright, again it has a cool premise I guess. But it's nothing outstanding, the extreme repetition of levels (e.g. Library) are enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. I don't know how the game scored so highly with such blatantly obvious copy + paste level design.

The multiplayer got boring really fast. Singleplayer is where its at for Halo :P. Hard to believe I used to love halo though. over rated but isn't a bad game.

bias and generalization FTW. sometimes it's hard to tell which side is more stupid. :roll:

Really? I'd love an explanation of how that's generalization. Was the second half not the exact same as the first half...but in reverse and with aliens that explode/crawl around? wait, that does sound familiar. Oh yeah: Halo.

Me. I am mostly a PC gamer, but have a 360 mainly for the online competitive play of Halo 3. I love the matchmaking system, ever since Halo 2, long ago. I wonder why no one has copied it yet. It's my favorite gaming thing.

matchmaking provides a ranking system, where you can level up. And play people of your same skill level. To me it's better than joining a random server and playing. Matchmaking forces more team play and organization, because it is more like a clan match rather than a pub game, for the most part.

I loved all the Halo games, I even won some games and money playing them competitively :) I'm mostly a PC gamer just because of the better controls, visual and in some cases gameplay. I don't have internet anymore (yay mobile broadband 3g! /sarcasm) so I can't play MP games so I usually dabble in Max Payne 2 and Morrowind from time to time. I recently beat Fallout 3 (really short game btw) and just started up Mass Effect and Stalker SOC along with Castlevania OoE. So yeah my hands are full.

I'm sorry, do some of you PC gamers have a superiority complex that you just HAVE to hate Halo? IMO it's a more complete FPS package than Half Life (Flame away, people), I'm not particularly a fan, but I like the series. Combat Evolved is an excellent game and the series' multiplayer is tons of fun.

Yes, I love Halo. I hope the 3rd one gets ported!

Who else noticed that the final part of Mass Effect is lifted straight from Halo 2?

I liked Halo CE, even though it was a dissapointment in some ways, after the massive hype. Played way too many hours of it, singleplayer, coop and multiplayer. The sequels also had quite good mp - Halo 3's multiplayer is outstanding. However I do think the series has dropped in quality in terms of singleplayer; Halo 2 for instance had a sharp drop in quality, which was almost universially ignored by critics under its hype. Which makes things rather messy.

"I seriously don't know how there can be PC gamers who's a fan of Halo when there are so many superior first-person shooters on the PC."

I seriously don't know how you can make that statement with a straight face. Just because a Filet or Ribeye is superior...doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good burger from time to time ;)

Halo is a good game with solid gameplay, great multiplayer, and good story telling. Next to the best shooters on the PC it may not be the best experience out there, but it's still a fun game to play.

Actually, I dislike match making in all games. Yes, it tries to pit you against people at your own skill level but that is a flawed system in itself. I have friends who play Halo 3 all of the time online and they purposely lose games so that they can lower their "skill" level and play against easier opponents. As well, I find myself when playing PC games with match making servers, that I land a lot of servers with high latency. This is primarily due to my geographic location but when I use a server browser, I can easily select a better choice for me instead of rolling the dice. So no, match making in my opinion is a great idea/alright system but it isn't my personal choice if I have the option.

I can't remember another game where I had friends constantly asking me if they could come over for some local multiplayer. It was such a blast to get some beers and sit on a couch and play some 2 vs 2 splitscreen deathmatches, or races with the Warthogs, talking trash to each other through it all. Good times.

Used to plat a ton of Halo on the original xbox with 16 man LAN parties, but once Halo came out on the PC that quickly dissolved and we just started a clan and played online. Halo PC was a blast after it was sort of patched and the hardware was faster so it could run the buggyness. Halo 2 is what killed it for me on xbox, I don't know why but I just couldn't get into it anymore. I then bought the 2nd one again on PC to see if maybe it would be better, but sadly it is pretty much the same and I haven't played 3 yet so I can't comment.

You have to admit, the series is not worth AAA status.

well, yeah. of course it's not worth AAA status, but for what it's worth, it's still a fun shooter that either gets too much love or too much hate. the first two were worthy of praise, the third was more of the same, just like almost every other trilogy ever made.

I'll agree with that. It's a fairly-original story (though nowhere near as unique as people claim). Halo is a classic example of an object which got caught up in the hype of the media, inflated reviews because of the hype, and inflated sales because of the inflated reviews. It's not nearly as good as it's commonly believed to be.

I disagree with that completely. The game to this day is still played online by great numbers...hype can make sales, but it can't make people play it for so long if the game can't stand on it's own merit. Halo has proven itself for sure.

I seriously don't know how there can be PC gamers who's a fan of Halo when there are so many superior first-person shooters on the PC.

But still, are there any PC gamers who are Halo fans?

AGREED.

Aslo they need to put Halo 3 on the PC.
