That's my argument. Halo's characters and enemies look generic and nothing orginal there. Sure they look great, but there is nothing else cool there at all. Games like Golden Eye 007 and Perfect Dark for N64 were original and the Metroid Prime series, and even Killzone are original. Don't even say Halo created the best muti player shooter either, cause Golden Eye 007 for N64 made the best.JDW_games
Halo took what goldeneye did and moved up a notch.

i dont care what everyone says, Halo was the first console shooter in forever to match up against PC shooters. Thats why the first one got AAA on PC only a year after the release of Halo 1. Halo 2 dropped a lot because of a 3 year difference.

the characters looking "generic" is an opinion especially when u just said killzones characters were original. How much more generic do u want the helghast to be.

as for the story all u haters need to read the books and novels. as for the games they had great stories as well. Not deep and complex but definantly well told and deep enough.

Halo 2 had a great story just the missions sucked.

and finally the online MP for consoles in Halo 2 is second to none as far as im concerned.

lol.

wont touch halo 3. and after you beat it its over. no co op or multi player. you must not own xbox live. yeah metroid prime works Solly on campaign but for halo it is all about the multi player play. 16 on 16 live against people all over the globe play with your friends or with strangers while talking crap on people is really fun.

FPS with out xbox live are rents. you beat them then your done. but online shooters can last for ever you reach new skill level and you always have real competition.

people dont understand what ms did with xbox live they took over the gaming world. its over for everybody else unless they just try to copy xbox but still who would get the copy when you can get the real thing.

The first Prime beat HaloAntiType

well in terms of providing an awesome, isolated adventure experience yeah but you really cant compare IMO

One of metroid strengths was the sense of decaying ruins and isolation (PC games wish they were this good)

but one of halo's many masterstroke was the consistenty of the A.I. was never gave you the same experience twice

this is one of the reasons why Halo's gameplay was better ( and still yet to be betteredIMO)

Itwas the first FPS to expand the possibilities by limiting your options (two weapon system),

the recharging shield was lended the battles a swaying nature (first your were cowering behind a rock and then the next minute you were jumping and throwing grenades).

Alot of people say its overrated, it really isnt, those people dont appreciate delicately balanced gameplay and would rather have the typical Doom style shoot em up.

halo only does 8 on 8. and Metroid Prime isnt ur traditional shooter. its FPAA just like Bioshock. with 15-20 hours of gameplay. Its meant for just single player. Multiplayer serves no purpose in these games.

If Bioshock and MEtroid PRime are rentals. then some of the best games of all time are rentals all of a sudden.
