Can we all acknowledge that Halo is a good game? A lot of people on here seem to say otherwise when Halo is compared to other games, but I think when Halo is on its own, it is a good game. Anyone disagree?

The fact that the game has scored high at almost every major review site speaks volumes.

Certainely no arguements here, I think it's a fantastic game, one of my favourites.

But I don't think you'll get all the Sony fans to agree. Not by a long shot.

I've never had an Xbox, and I never paid attention to the Halo hype. But 2 months ago, I got Halo:CE for my PC.

It changed my life. IT was Freakin amazing

I can acknowledge that Halo was a good game, for its time, on the Xbox. But that still doens't mean I enjoy it at all.

No we can't, because people have opinions. Whether or not Halo itself was a great game was greatly diminished by the lackluster, unoriginal premise for the game. I'm a literary buff, so that was the golden needle for me.

It gets bashed so much but Halo: CE is was really a remarkable game, and it is still pretty good today. Halo 2 is on the other hand is a former shadow if its predecessor, but it is still pretty fun on occasions. So, put quite simply I think that Halo 1 deserved its praise, and Halo 2 to a much lessor extent (mostly for the multiplayer anyway).

Most people do, although i know some people who enjoy mustard on them, i think thats just wrong, and mustard should stay on hotdogs.

Yes i did know that. i dont see how thats relevent though.

to be honest i had a sudden rush of blood, couldnt resist...many people dont know that though...however technically your point is just as irrelevant to this topic as the creator didnt start a ' is my name correct or not topic' he asked if halo can be considered a great game, which to anyone who isnt a cow can admit that it is great

I agree, Halo is defiantly well deserving of praise, Halo 2 however, not so much.

Right, and i can see how my post is mildly irrelevent but i figured id say it because system wars is a good place to tell people things, as someone will start to read my post thinking its about halo and then when they finish they say, damn, it wasent, but at least i know something new now.

Indeed. If it is a commonly shared opinion, it is often a high quality game, now whether that means it is a fun game for you all depends if you like the gameplay or not. I think it is funny that the only reason Halo gets bashed so much is because it is so popular. If it was any other game, people would say they don't like it very much and drop it.

The majority opinion isn't alwas necessarily right by any technical merit. Bulletproof anyone? I dislike Halo. Theres nothing anyone could say that would make me dislike it any less.

Yes, I will gladly acknowledge it is a good game, but underneath all of the uber hype, I personally think that as a game in general, it just does not hold the weight the way that the first one did at the time it came out. So many different shooters have came out since, and after Halo 2 came out, it seemed to have lost alot of it's appeal for me at least.

But I still completely dig the game, and I hope that Halo 3 will be spectacular....but my expectations are only a little slightly above average for it at best. We shall see I suppose.

By the way....that is a killer sig you have there.

I think Halo is a victim of success. People love to hate things that are overly popular. I think if the game was more of an underground franchise, it would be more of a cult classic, andthere would be significantly less bashing.

Did I say always? There is an "often" in there for a reason. And technically, Halo 2 was a quality game at the time, but I enjoyed it significantly less than Halo 1. Critic praise dicatated that it was indeed a quality game, and it is evident, but that doesn't mean you will enjoy it.

I personally LOVE halo, and I think it is a really good game! and even if you don't like a game you can still admit it is. I don't like Metroid Prime but I can still say it is VERY good game.... if you are like what I like is tro always... and every game that is not on my top 10 list sucks as...or just so fanboy do yourself a favor go to bed!

It was, in their opinion, a quality game. It is, in my opinion, not a quality game. I can play aruond with words too and have valid reasoning behind my opinion such as the Halo story being heavily derivitative of over 20 diferent sci-fi IPs. Heck, Bungie even listed every last IP they "heavily borrowed from" (their own words).

If a game get´s great reviews AND big sales... it´s a good game.

Halo is a good game.

Personal opinions from the minority doesn`t mean anything.

The first Halo was one of the greatest gaming experience I've had, at the time it just completely blew me away.

Halo 2 was a dissapointment, and I wasn't too fussed over the Halo 3 beta.

In alot of peoples minds its not enjoyable, meaning its not fun to play. If a game isn't fun it really isn't a good game. :P

Its all opinion, not a fact. Its no where as good as RE4,MP or Okami. Although i really enjoyed halo 2s mp, after a while it gets boring, kinda like Gears and MGS: Sub online.

i dont like it, never have never will. i dont like run and gun online it gets old. its a fun single player game for awhile then it just gets repetitive online. I like more tactical realistic shooters like socom, and rainbow six.
