Most people do, although i know some people who enjoy mustard on them, i think thats just wrong, and mustard should stay on hotdogs.
I thought the unversal acclaim from every single professional gaming review sites would make that undeniable...Verge_6Reviews are still opinions, not facts.

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

Well, if we go by that, then there isn't a single good game made yet...because there will ALWAYS be someone who will hate something, no matter how great said something is.

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.Indeed.

I dislike Halo. Theres nothing anyone could say that would make me dislike it any less.
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?smokeydabear076
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.
its ok, but thats it, there are loads of shooters out there that are better.theshadowhunterThere are defiantly a lot better shooters out there, but on consoles, it is a different story.
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.

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.

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).

Anyone who tries to say they aren't influenced by their surroundings are kidding themselves.
