Is Halo a FPS for noobs?

The whole gameplay certainly is, but Id be lying if I said Legendary is easy.Meu2k7

I agree.

I think the game takes little skill to master, I barely play it and i've mastered it already and its just become extremely boring. I don't even play the MP anymore, Legendary poses more of a challenge.

Point is, it's a game that's easy to pick up and hard to master. You don't have to be too good to "play along", but you have to be very good to compete with the top players. That's one of the reasons why the "casuals" like the game. It's fun from the get go.

Oh, and beyondperfect, if you'd mastered it you could have a million dollar contract by now.

Any non-casual or veteran player will tell you that Halo requires skill to be good at it. :|MoldOnHold

Define skill, I had enver touched a console version of Halo before, neither had my mate, but we are already at skill lvl 19 of team doubles from 2 days , I win most slayer matchs .... wheres the skill? I just use common sense, the game is so limited by "Rock/paper/Scissors".

For example .... you both have starting gear ... whats to do other than spam a grenade at them? Holy your trigger down while aiming at them while running towards then meleeing...

Its the same 3 moves over and over again , yea ok on the ICe level you can use guirilla tactics with the whole "weird" "Hai I can crouch and go off radar and wait arounda corner with the insta-gib shotgun in your face" ... thats about it...

Other than that, its all about the weapon/position whoring.

If you're lvl 19, that means you're better than the people who are skill lvl 18 or under. Otherwise you would just be lvl 1.

Halo is like Smash bros.

Casuals can play it have a blast with it. Hardcore gamers can play it and master the skills required to play it well.

Thats the secret behind both of their successes. They are both very approachable games.

Yea ... its a ladder system, we are not stuck at 19 by any means, just neither of us can be bothered to continue, by this point its just "Which team can grab the spot/weapons" first in team doubles ..

Halo Multiplayer is ALL about the weapons , problem with that theory is the starting rifle is extremely retard Friendly" and very powerful at the same time, so in larger games its almost worthless using other weapons, except Rockets/sniper/Spartan lazer.

Play some other modes, for instance lone wolf. How does a game like COD4 or Unreal Tournament (pick one) have more strategy than Halo exactly?

The ease of picking up, learning, and playing the game along with its approachability makes it a casual game. There is no such thing as a hybrid of casual and hardcore. If there is then you could say that every game ever released is a hybrid casual-hardcore game saying that "it's casual because it's easy to pick up, but hard to master/skill makes it hardcore...".

Blah, blah, blah.

^ Lone wolf .. lets see:

*Oddball* - Run and gun , run around corners, oh wait .... your on radar and even if you craoch they still know where the skull is, so its just a bunch of people shooting eachother in the back while running at the skull ... theres a reason why most games removed this mode years ago.

*King of the Hill* - Decent mode, but the spots are always sodamn obvious especially on these bad maps such as narrows, they go in the same order (At least I think so ) every time so you know where to run next, again all you haev to do on this mode is crouch behind the tinsy bit of cover in the hill , have a good weapon and hope for the best.

*Slayer* Spawn .... kill with Rifle/Grenades/melee, or be lucky enough to be up against idiots, find a very good spot and weapon whore.

Have i left anything out? the gameplay is the same on all modes... its very very user friendly, to the point where skill difference from "average" to "skilled" is not so noticable. while Skilled to "complete idiot" is the only huge difference you notice.

halo is a fps for beginners. probably why its the most liked FPS game. lt-rickhunter

oh dear... Unreal Tournament, Quake, Battlefiled, COD etc are all for beginners as well. They are all easy to pick up. Even rainbow 6 is easy to pick up, first time I played I was going on killing sprees.

what the hell are you talking about? Have you even played any other FPS game? What game requires more strategy?

halo barely requires skill....there is barely any cover, you go in an open area you die....you get 1 kill or 2kill then ur most likely todieso basically if you kill a hardcore player next thing will be that you got killed by a noob so basically everyone is hardcore in that game lol....you kill someone in front of you, the next guy will be waiting behind you, you cant live long..just keep running and shooting, if someone comes from behind you die, if someone is infront of you, whoever shoots first gets the kill mingo123

What game is much different from that? Unless you are good enough to get out of harms way your going to keep dying.

Exactly, theres no sprint, theres no real hiding, you move likea tortiose, and so forth, this guy nailed it, im quite suprised someone with a Halo avatar wouldnt be biased....

The game as so little mechanics, its the very basics of FPS..

The whole gameplay certainly is, but Id be lying if I said Legendary is easy.Meu2k7

Same, it was easy on Co-Op, but I couldnt be bothered to do the first level alone :P

Dude, level 19 is nothing. Start playing Level 30+, then you'll get torn apart.

Even if he was better than me, unlike in most FPS , I would still be able to kill him a good 50% of the tiem due to the Retard Friendly" gameplay .... its too easy to seperate the good from the bad like in games such as UT.

hmmm games like cod4, just sprint to cover and wait for the enemy to come to you, in halo3if you find cover, someone will come from behind you, or above you lol or from below or left or right :D so the best thing to do is run and keep praying no one is behind you....like i said its really hard to explain but believe me you can get away from these types of things in cod4 and many other games....halo 3 is noobish...there is no hardcore player.....the levels are all open mostly you are clearly visible from far away no matter what (sandtrap)....tell me one place in halo 3 which is safe for you to stand and snipe from....just 1 place...there ISNT...no cover, you kill an elite player, then someone noob kills you from back or above or below......

Single player on Heroic and Legendary is quite chalenging.msoftburney

Sorry what? In Ut you dont start with the easiest weapon ever invented, and good players can easily dodge Rockets/Flak , but on Halo you cant dodge **** because its as if you walking on the moon.
