I played and finished it just to see what makes it a very popular game and didn't understand why so many people just love it. Like: aliens talk? and with a silly voice.DarkFadi
Because people are interested in it's storyline and multiplayer. Seriously, "aliens talk"? That's a good excuse.

I can't stand halo games ... played halo 1 and 2 on my pc , played halo 3 at friends house, they all suck compared to other first person shooters... Halo is popular for 2 reasons. It was pretty much all the xbox had when it launched for fps and was new to the console so everyone who had that console bought it. 2nd reason.... m$ advertising, it's no secret that ms is loaded with cash... they basically matched or topped the cost to produce the game and put that in marketing , moutain dew bottles, burger king, movie theatres, you name it. And you know kids cling on to " Shiny green men with gold visors" advertised on their favoirte products. Most got it because of hype and trend. Their friends were playing it, and hell even the kids parents knew about halo .... the game wasn't good, it's just that M$ used their wallet to influence the market.Midnightshade29
Seeing as you proved my point on people only playing it at a friend's house, how can you properly judge a series like that? And of course, the "M$ advertising". You don't seem to have a problem when movies have been doing the same thing for years. BTW I still kept my MD bottle and it was the best Dew I ever had.

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]Fleshed out sci-fi universe, 3-D characters, beautiful art design, great controls, excellent level and map design, vehicles, grenades, weapons, equipment, dual-weilding, 4 player co-op, addictive multiplayer, forge, theather, constant support from Bungie, great community, and its just really, really fun.gamesrdead4200

aim assist sucks cant turn it off and halo 3's multiplayer maps suck ass boring as hell weapons suck pretty much also

How did I know captain aim assist sucks with the 827893489 alt accounts would show up? You hate games now anyway why are you still here?

I wish you could turn your aim assist off to stop finding this board.

Am i the only one who dosent like Halo games?

finalstar2007

I'd wager there may be even more people that hate Halo then like it here in System Wars.

Everyone hates the big dog, but Halo may just have the most vocal haters. You can't go a day without a new Halo sucks thread around here.

I like Halo. The controls are perfect for a console game. I've been playing the campaign since launch on Xbox 1. The multiplayer is unmatched in terms of customizing your experience, as well as the amount of people playing at any given time. In terms of console shooters anyway. I also much prefer sci-fi over the top compared to pseudo realistic settings like COD, or Battlefield.

I mean, I don't get how people can hate Halo, but like COD, or Killzone. I have played and beat, and at least on some level enjoyed them all. None of them are terrible games. The difference in quality between the top tier of shooters is pretty small today.

I think a large amount of hate comes from the art style and story.

Another small chunk from people who just like to hate popular things.

The next large chunk are fanboys of another system or game.

Then you have the people who don't like it for more legitimate reasons like pacing, level design choices etc.

To call any game like Halo, KZ2, COD4, GTA4, MGS4 "garbage" though reeks of extreme bias, and maybe even mental inaptness.

Personal preference is fine and dandy. But if you honestly cannot/refuse to see that any of those games are extremely well made and polished above and beyond your average title then your opinion holds no relevance and is indeed "garbage". It should also be treated as such and disposed of during real conversations pertaining to said games.

Wasn't good, explain all those AAAs, oh wait, you can't, you'll probably say "They are rated high to make the Xbox library better" or "Reviewers were paid to score them high", etc. Give up, plus people enjoy them for a reason: They're good. And you say Resistance is better?:lol: I pity you.

Atleast you're honest. Most people on this board probably don't own the game to begin with. They probably just played 1 or 2 levels...on easy...probably at a friend's house.

I've never insulted it, though. :|

You must be new to SystemWars -- Halo is the most popular, and widely hated upon game in this forum. It's held the most hated title for many, many years.

Let me re-phrase...I don't like Halo. I havn't liked one ever. I played CE before I knew it was popular, and what not. I Don't Like It. Accept it. Even the most popular of games don't have a 100% feedback.

Hell, LIKING Halo is like some sort of mark of shame where you're not only called a non-gamer but a non-adult who likes to buy into the greedy corportation M$'s evil money machine.

It's not that I don't like the Halo series, it's just the sort of game I play for the story and seldom the multiplayer. I mean, Halo did have a pretty interesting storyline. Once I beat the trilogy, I was satisfied, not blown away like I was with the first Halo ;).

I love Halo. Plus, it set the standard for all console FPS.

But still, and really, let's face it, if it wasn't exclusive to Xbox, almost all of the haters would shut up. :P

Halo was pretty amazing for people who hadn't played online pc games like quake 3 or counterstrike.

I hated it, especially on single-player. The aliens are so corny and annoying.

Halo 3 is ok online but I still find the characters to be a bit drab. For multiplayer shooters on 360 I prefer BF:Bad Company and Army of two.

But yea I think Halo games are overrated. The only halo game I really can't stand is halo wars. RTS + controller = lame. Strategy games on consoles should be turn based. However Halo wars sold pretty well and so will ODST. Slap Halo on any game and it will sell like crazy.

Well for me the only FPS I played before Halo CE was MoH series. So I get an xbox and the guy at EB say you have to get Halo with it. I say nah I'm not big on FPS, he says trust me. Then I get home and plug it in and I was swept up. I love the story, setting, the tight controls, all of it. I don't say the series is the best, or great, because I believe in personal preference and I wasn't given the authority to say what's good or bad. I just state what I like. I like Halo, a lot.

Halo is amazing and excellently made.

Better than Killzone 2, CS, CoD or any other FPS rival at this moment.

Okay so we are to believe that a lvl 29 on these forums is asking "Am I the only one who doesn't like Halo games?" as a genuine question.... when Halo's quality is questioned and debated on these forums EVERY DAY... 365 days a year..... REALLY?

This is just lame flame bait. Guess what no one cares if you don't like HALO... millions of other people do.... don't like it... DON'T PLAY IT!

im a lemming and ill admit it now. halo 1 was one of the best games ever but 2 and 3 are garbage.

kobraka1

Yea this i agree with, Halo 1 was just awesome but the other two haven't felt that much different two me, not enough added to make me want to play it again and again. I've always considered the Halo games as, "noob" friendly, in the sense that anyone can pick it up and have a blast even with no prior skills or anything (kind of like Unreal where killing 3 people and then dieing is a really big thing). Though that is in pretty much any shooter now a days, some games do stand apart for me, games with different classes for example. In Halo you could do anything at any time, you had no weakness that the other gamers didn't share unless it came down to skill. Games like Battlefield and Killzone 2 let the gamer due only specific things, not everyone could do the exact same thing as others (unless of course there was an army of only one class) I'm not saying the type of weapons they can pick up but those certain games did have characteristics for individual classes. That is probably why I find them appealing, though in the case of Halo i don't. With that said it might be why it's so popular because you don't have to invest in the match/game, though I'm sure some would disagree with me - this is MY opinion (Therefore why I used "I've", "my" or even "me"). I was going to say something else but adding that small bit in the bracket made me forget. :)

EDIT: Oh, I remember now - though i said this about Halo, I do love the first game - it's something that i still go back on and play with friends (on PC). Though not recently, because of exams and all, it's something we talk about doing again.

no, not really. Halo 3 is miles better than Perfect Dark Zero. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be around 1 million people playing every day; 2 years later from the release.

Just face it haters, Halo 3 is an excellent game.

Not to me its not its overrated just like PDZ and not leagues above its first iteration. There isnt 1 million people playing it everyday it was like that for its first week. Then when the hype died so did most of the community now only the halo diehards play it which is still alot of people but no where near 1 mill.

Halo is a good series. I used to hate it blindly until I actually stopped judging the game on its popularity like most haters do here. It isn't amazing but it certainly doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Ironically, people love to state how people overhype Halo yet there is no threads praising Halo, only ones bashing it, and the hype behind ODST has been well hyped but tamed unlike other upcoming games.

Um, yeah, it is. About 1 million. Unique Users. Everyday. 2 years after release.

Don't cry because no other FPS comes close to these figures. Just because you don't like it desn't mean millions don't. Yeah, it had over 1M first day and first week, but also 2 Years after, which means that the game is awesome since so many people are still playing it today. Lol, Killzone 2, Call of Duty OWNED.

im with you on this one but i can imagine this turning into an onslaught of halo fanboys =)

jack_jackass
It's just an amazing game/series all around. Fantastic story with a deep universe surrounding it, amazing soundtrack, distinct art style (beautiful). It's probably the most satisfying shooter I have ever played. Having a Warthog full of people drive up to you and beating it aside with a gravity hammer is like having some gaming epiphany. The single player also has amazing, epic battles where tons of vehicles are cruising around and blowing up everywhere - it's really exciting.

OK, whataver, you're right I guess. but it's just that you seemed so confiednt that it was nowhere near close to 1 million, so thats why. but yeah, otherwise it's nothing.

Going by what is said, you are far from it.
