Halo = OverHyped not Overatted!

If you ask a question about a game being overrated you are only asking the people who didn't like a specific game. Games are about diversity. For myslef you could not pay me money to play Final Fantasy, but that does not mean its not a good game. It just means that I don't like it. Unfortunetly if someone on SW does not like a game it is immedietly OVERRATED! A concept that is flawed because you are the people saying it.

Same thing applies to all the Halo games. You are going to have people who don't enjoy the game and that's fine, but the people who claim it overrated say these things usually out of jealousy or hatred for the game. A good way to base a decision huh?

Think for a moment about games like Mario and Zelda. There are plenty of people who hate those games, but their popularity is so high that you have to see these game did something right, and that is why Halo is so popular. The game has a feel to it that is unlike any other shooter and it's just a lot of fun to play (if you like it)

No product in the history of mankind has survived as long as Halo has without being a good product. Bad games can sqeek in a good run for a few months but eventually it becomes clear that its a medicore game (Full Auto anyone). Halo has been holding steady ever since Halo CE (which is still being played..ALOT) and when Halo 3 launches the brand will have at least another 3 - 4 years left before gamers move on.

You can call it overhyped all you want (and I would agree) but calling Halo or any game for that matter overrated is dumb and really serves to show lack of thought on the subject.

Overrated IMO. I rather leave FPS on PC where they belong.Socrates88

Why do FPS belong on the PC? That kind of statement is rather snobby and dumb. If you prefer a PC shooter then that is fine by me (I play CS all the time) but saying that a shooter cannot be done well on a console is ignorance at its most basic level.

Well good thing Halo's main platform isn't PC, how about you compare it to other console FPS?

Name a shooter on console that matches the quality on PC?

The problem with the Halo series is that the games resemble each other too much. I understand it's a very fun experience, but many people feel cheated when they don't get something very new. That being said, it's a pretty fun formula.osirisomeomi

Your theory is very flawed. All game seqeuls are similar to their predecessors and they do this to keep the fanbase. Why would Bungie make Halo completely different from one version to the next? That would not have gone over well with the fans of the game.

What quality do you speak of? Consoles have many different direct ports of PC shooters so I guess you could pick any one of those since they are the same games with different controllers. Halo is a great shooter with as much depth as any PC shooter. You really have no idea what you say do you?

Who said we are ignoring it? Halo was built to play well on a console and it does just that, it wasn't really built for PC even though it was ported over. Sure it won't compare to many PC shooters, but then again it isn't a PC shooter in the first place.

Compare Half Life 1 with Half Life 2. The story continues, many characters reappear, the plot structure is carried over in some form, but the ADVENTURE AND GAME MECHANICS ARE DIFFERENT!

In my expierience I ahve found that the PC snoobs are the ones who cannot play very well with a controller. They have used PC's for so long that adapting to a new format does not sit well with them. That is why the constantly complain about console shooters..they feel like they have to protect the only platform they can play on.itsallgood29

I own a Playstation 3. I've played and owned Red Faction 2 for PS2. I am a PC gamer. I own Battlefield 2, Red Orchestra, Half Life 2, Counter Strike, DoD: Source. I just beat Resistance for the second time on my PS3 on hard mode about an hour ago. I really like that game.

And yet, I still persist: HALO SUCKS.

You name ONE FSP on the PC that scored higher than those games here on Gamespot.

And you are also talking about a sequel that took many many years to develop. Technology changed drastically between HL1 and HL2. The next gen console share similar architectures to past gaming rigs but with increased power. So your theory is completely wrong as well. If Half Life 2 was made 2 years after HL1 it would ahve been very different. Halo fans don't want to wait that long. The games mechanics are what make it good and Halo fans only want it tuned not reinvented. How would PC players like it if CS was changed....they wouldn't

Let's do that. Resistance comes from a developer traditionally associated with platformers. I remember Spyro the Dragon...I loved that game, played it on the original Playstation when I was younger. Then they created Ratchet and Clank (four of them, FOUR!) on the Playstation 2. It was kind of a shooter/platformer amalgam.

So, even though Resistance is the first real shooter from a traditionally platforming developer, and Halo is a game from Bungie, a developer with FOUR SHOOTERS UNDER THEIR BELT, Resistance owns Halo 2 and I suspect it will own Halo 3 as well, judging from the most recent material and the reception for Halo 3 Beta.

Also, Bioshock, UT3, Battlefield, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect....who even cares about Halo any more? I'm only talking about console shooters, but all of these games will own Halo 3.

I think Resistance is an average FPS as far as the mechanics of the game goes, I have beaten it so I can't say much about the story.

Oh and you are putting an RPG as a shooter, just thought I'd point that out so you don't make yourself look like a fanboy that doesn't know what he is talking about...

Halo took 5 years to make. Halo 2 took 3 years to make. Seeing as Halo 3 will release late 2007 and Halo 3 released in 2004, wow, look at that! That's another 3 whole years!

Are you sure you guys aren't waiting very long?

A better example would be if I had played Half Life 2 Episode 1, since that was released a drastically shorter time after Half Life 2, but I plan to pick it up on the Orange Box for PS3 (another game that will destroy Halo...console shooter too).

Still, Halo and Halo 2, even after 3 years, are so unbelievably derivitive, from art style, to characters, to character models, to the story arch, to the guns, to the gameplay mechanics, to the vehicles. Almost everything is exactly the same.

Halo 3 added jump pads and the "mancannon," along with customizible "Spartans" and a handful of vehicles. Exactly what I mean. Six years after the original Halo (in development for 5 years) and I see no difference beyond those little tweaks.

You really don't get the point do you? Your hatred of Halo is an Opinion, and one that is not shared by the majority I might add. Resistance is a good game but alas it still pales in comparison to games like Halo when you factor in depth and longevity.

Have we seen any Resistance novels or any Machinama yet...NO....geez I gues you'd better get on that redfingers!

I'll continue to quote myself here. UT3, Mass Effect (I listed this earlier ironically...I know it's an RPG, but the shooting mechanics will destroy Halo 3 as a game), Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Half Life 2 Orange Box....gee, need I go on? Those are all Xbox games. Why are you guys so persistent with this Halo crap? You've got all these awesome games around you and you still like Halo.

Again, not only did I list console games that are promising to be better than Halo 3, I'm listing XBOX 360 GAMES!!! ROFLMAOLOLOLOL LAUGHALOTS.

Oh sweet Jesus Christ, yes, I did compare the two games. In fact, I played Resistance today. I'm going to paint a little scenario for you. This is something I did, in-game, on the last level. I used the Hailstorm rifle to send an autonomous magazine into the air that fired fifty particles individually controlled by the Cell processor that ricochet off of walls and find individual targets to destroy four advanced Hybrids standing in front of me. I then pulled out my Auger, placed a force barrier, threw a Hedgehog grenade, and fired through the force barrier with the Auger to kill the survivor Hybrid.

Later, I walked into the center of the room, threw a feedback grenade to create a force barrier that damages all Chimaera inside, and fires back all shots fired at it, cleared the room, fired another autonomous magazine from my Hailstorm gun, then shot Chimaera off the walls with my shotgun.

This game owns Halo.

I'm not calling Halo a piece of crap. I'm just saying that it a little bit overrated when comparing it to "real" shooters. It's not even the best ratted game on console too. So, yes it may be overrated. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying it.Socrates88

OMG, you are the king of passive aggressive aren't you "real shooters" come on man give me a break. Calling PC fps real shooters is pretty dumb. You really have some issues to work out don't you.

You are basing you remarks on the only real difference being the controller....now sit back in your chair and realize just how dumb what you said really is!

halo is garbage that brought nothing new to the fps genre. It's not revolutionary in anyway and it's story is unoriginal and boring. It's a half decent game, that got rated way to high. Which is pretty much what overrated is.Silenthps

Yes it does make your points invalid because you think that you are right? The whole point is that no one is right! You think you are so that makes you very small and dumb! You are debating a game that you don't like, but if this game was something Sony had you would be defending it, just like you do with Resistance. I don't know how old you are but if you are any older then 16 you need to dive back into a book now and then,.

Hey, remember when I said "Bioshock, UT3, Half Life 2 Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect (which i stated ironically, if you remember), and Battlefield," all games on the Xbox 360, will destroy Halo 3?

Wow, I'm such a fanboy, and my points are so invalid. Whatever. Stop trying to blow me off. My opinion is at least as valid as anyone else's, especially if I'm willing to draw comparisons on multiple platforms to assess the value of a franchise, like you're unwilling to do.

do..you understand why i said it was funny? it was because ur comparing a last-gen game to a next-gen game...thats like me saying Gears owns Killzone 1! i used a boomshot to blow away a locust, then fired a torque bow shot and blew up general Raan, walked into the center of the room, and grenade tagged an elite

see, its not that hard to do, except, even with ur dumb opinion, Halo is still better than Resistance, and i dont need my opinion to prove that, just this

[QUOTE="killtactics"][QUOTE="Socrates88"]I'm not calling Halo a piece of crap. I'm just saying that it a little bit overrated when comparing it to "real" shooters. It's not even the best ratted game on console too. So, yes it may be overrated. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying it.killtactics

And Halo 2 got a 7.0 when reviewed this year.

If Halo 1 is so much better than Halo 2, or if the difference between the two is so minute that we should ignore that Halo 2 even existed, what makes you think I should give a crap about Halo 3 if I think Halo CE sucks?

Plus, I distinctly remember reading that Halo CE was in development for five years, and Halo 2 was in development for 3 years. BTW, development time is not enough to write off a game. Some of the most spectacular games went without five years of development time to justify their "perfection," "balance," whatever it may be.
