Halo 1 > Everything

If you weren't around during the Halo 1 era (2001) then you missed out. Sure you have Halo 3, but Halo 1 was some of the best gaming experiences to be had.

It goes Counterstrike 1.3, Halo 1, Timesplitters, Goldeneye, UT99, Quake 3

Best FPS's in order.

Very good game, and gave me many enjoyable hours, but in retrospect I don't think it is IMO... It was fairly revolutionary at the time, but now we look back it's fairly mediocre (probably because we've seen so many games cut + paste the same formula)

Um... no not really. Great game, no doubt. As a fan of single player games, I like Halo 1 more than any other Halo game (although OSDT looks great). But I don't think it's close to the best.

I liked Halo 3 a lot more... in fact, though it may surprise some, I loved Halo 3... especially the art style. However, I don't think it is as epic as people make out.

Funny how Halo's suddenly becoming more popular after Killzone 2 comes out.

I liked many other shooters more then halo. I could see how people could come to that conclusion if they only had a x-box though.

Quake Live isn't the past, it's the future. Quake Live is still in beta testing.

Unfortunately, I was around on the FPS scene long before Halo came out so I got spoiled and saw Halo as just another average shooter.

If I had never played anything on the PC before, Halo might've impressed me, but I had, so it didn't.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is still my favorite FPS.

Followed by Timesplitters 2.

u need to play UT 2004 or tribes vengeance (tribes vengeance had a suprising good single player campaign and the story was much better then halo 1,2&3)

I completely agree, Halo 1 was one of the best FPS's I've ever played, the story, the gameplay, it was revolutionary, 2002 was a year I spent playing that game a lot. However, Halo 2 and Halo 3 were awful, hate to say it, but they were nothing like the experience of the first one.

:lol: HAHA Halo CE is a good game, but c'mon.... :lol:

[QUOTE="comstrikeiscool"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Halo 3 just hit 1 billion games played. I would say its been popular. ;)SpruceCaboose

Obiviously the 1 billion games played thing is just part of the Microsoft propaganda to reaffirm the fanboys that they're still strong and whatnot, they could've said that like a month earlier but then no one would've cared. MS's recent activities to throw pretty much everything they have against the killzone 2 launch in itself is their own expression of acknowledging they're in trouble.

I completely agree. Halo CE seemed kind of dull and disappointing(especially the campaign), and the online was only fun if you played with people you knew(and that can be said for most games).

cept Halo was a very medicore game for an FPS title. It may have been good on consoles but thats because consoles only played Perfect Dark and Golden eye.

Looks like everybody on this bored was too young to play halo when it came out in 2001 i guess... Halo: CE..mediocre? Are you kidding?

You need to go back even more time. Like the mid 90s. How about when Tribes was popular. Then Halo's release looses a lot of umph.

I like the first 2, but halo 3 screwed that all up. The story just couldn't stay in line. Out of the first 2, i would have to say halo 1 is better.

Explain the 9.7 on both gamespot and IGN. Was this just a fluke that it has a 95% ranking overall and is known as one of the best FPS's of all time?

Please, those ratings mean nothing, Halo is so run-of-the-mill its not even funny, and its people like you (who have probably only played a handful of FPS games in your life), that start throwing around ratings and "Best FPS of all time" like its second nature.

PC games have STANDARDS, Dating back to Half life 1 which as GS put it "the closest thing to a revolutionary step the genre has ever taken", Halo is nothing new to this genre, and as Jango put it, was only Scored high because there was nothing to compare it to besides goldeneye and PD, and remember that PC games don't have generations, meaning that any PC game up to today has to be compared with some of the best games on its platform, which is why most modern FPS online games fail because CS/Quake 3/Battlefield/Unreal and countless others set the bar SO high that they fail to live up to them.

Get some history before you start throwing rating out like its nothing.

Campaign : Halo 1 > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Multiplayer : Halo 3 > Halo 2 > Halo 1

Halo 3 wins for me.

Halo may be run-of-the-mill now because of the mass FPS boom that followed Halo, but back in 2001, this game was revolutionary, and I don't understand why no one can admit that Halo: Combat Evolved is a superb game. Halo changed the whole genre, even for PC's. Games like Timesplitters 2, Jedi Knight 2, Far Cry, and a handful of other FPS's followed after Halo came out WITH THE SAME CONTROL SCHEME AS HALO. No other console FPS before Halo had double thumb stick to look around, it was unheard of. My point is that in 2001 Halo was recognized as one of the best FPS's of all time, and it might not seem that way now because the genre is SO crowded now. Halo 1 is still amazing in my book.
