I definitely give Halo credit for the use of color, as opposed to the many varieties of gray in most FPS.

And yes, it has a story, but it pretty much rips off every sci-fi story before it. Deducting points for lack of originality.

Right...... Just like Killzone was sooooo going to Kill Halo CE and Halo 2. Just because Killzone 2 has nice graphics doesn't mean it's game play or story will be on par.

Me too, the colorful aspect gave it a different feel and was one of the few things about the first two that I felt was remarkable...the story was okay at best (even for an FPS) in my opinion.

Hopefully Halo 3 will end it well, but I'm not a fan of the series so I won't be buying it until it goes way down in price.

Killzone 1 actually had a pretty good story, it was just really buggy and needed some tweeking. Just like the review said with a few more coats of polish killzone could have been a whole lot better.

I kinda agree with the TC here, just not to the point where I don't respect great OSTs like MGS, FF, Castlevania, Breath of Fire and so forth.

The human equipment in Halo is the same military colors you'll find in any other FPS isn't it?

No, you really couldn't.

Half Life - The first FPS to be told entirely through the First Person perspective, thus the first FPS to have elements without weapons and such. The immersion of the story is unique in it's own right.

Starcraft - One of the first RTS to prove that an amazing story can be told in the genre. I mean sure, Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert did have good stories, but Starcraft took this to the next step. And the amount of different armies and backstabs makes Starcraft unique as well.

Halo - Rips ever sci-fi story before it.

I haven't read the Halo books or looked into the story in any other way than playing through the games, but it's definitely very deep for a video game story (not to say that it's deepest one, but it definitely has a well thought out story).

Oh I am sure it dose, I was just responding to the overzellous fanboy post. I hope that Killzone 2 is an awesome game for the PS owners just I can't stand the irrational fanboys.

Don't be angry when I tell you this but...

You obviously have a good grasp of all of Half-Life and Starcrafts stories.

You also have slim-->none grasp of the Halo story.

Seeing this, I will excuse your misrepresentation.

Halo 3 looks like it is playing the right cards, but it doesn't look like it has that "go nuts" factor that Perfeck Dark (original), TimeSplitters Series, and... even Crysis (in regards to how it looks at its current state) have. I have decided that that "go nuts" factor (aka the brick tossing in TS and the n-bomb fests in PD) is what I want out of my FPS. This is why the Halo series just seems to lack depth to me.

Has anyone seen the episode of South Park where Butters is thinking of ways to destroy the World as Professor Chaos, but every plan was already thought of by the Simpsons? Every thing steals bits and pieces from others. Just the way of life.

Anyways I love the Halo story and can't wait t see how it ends.

Lol. Well thanks for the comment, and yes I probably don't know much about the Halo story, but from what I've seen, heard, and played over my System Wars experience and friends playing, the story simply isn't up to par with Half-Life and Starcraft, and saying they can be compared in the same way doesn't make sense.

I certainly hope Halo 3 has it's version of that. While a map editor goes a long way, it won't make up for the loss of that factor. halo series just isn't designed for it. The series as a whole is sort of a spacy run and gun with well implimented team features as opposed to the sheer do-everything-your-mind-wants type of FPS

i agree to your 2nd point, but i disagree with your first...killzone 2 and gears of war are both coming out after halo series...which woulld mean you should have given credit to killzone and gears of war for the use of the greyish colour schemes.

You just kind of owned yourself. What you've seen is apparently hearing about it from friends and hearing about it on system wars. That rounds down to nothing.

Beautiful? yes. Vibrant? yes. Fun? yes. Music? HELL NO ARE YOU DEAF? The music isn't bad but best music ever? I really have to disagree there. What happened the Final Fantasy? What about OOT?

Halo is a fun game. I can agree with a lot of what you say but music is a definite no.
