I like halo 1's single player better, but not halo 2's.madmidnight

Halo 1's single player was one of the worst FPS experiences I've had.

Halo:CE sp > MP SP > Half Life 2 SP > Halo 2 sphtekemerald

correct.

MP campaign > HALO campaign ? NO ****.

but

and

BIOSHOCK campaign > MP campaign

super metroid >>>>>>>>>>>>prime 1,2,3

halo and prime are just another 100th fps this year. and the next and the next. were is my tps or action adventure games.

I can't stand Metriod's single player. But I did like Prime's single player, and it was good. but Halo is more fun and Halo 3 will have a way better Single player than MP3, simple logic.DuDisNow

HALO multiplayer > MP multiplayerNavigatorsGhost

No ****. It's not hard to have multiplayer better than a game series that has never really focused on it.

BIOSHOCK campaign > MP campaignNavigatorsGhost

That's a toughie, and in either case there's not much difference in quality. But MP's campaign is worlds away ahead of Halo's campaign. BioShock and Metroid Prime are on a different level.

Get over it. If you want a 360, just buy one, stop crying about Halo scoring more it won't do you any good.hongkingkong

Who says Halo 3 will score AAA? Nothing is guaranteed on Jokespot.

Well, I don't think too many people point out or agree with the idea that HALO has a good campaign. Thats not why people play it. What does HALO focus on? Multiplayer. And its something it does extremely well.

Bioshock is as atmospheric, probably even more atmospheric, than MP. And its story is a lot better.

The first Halo didn't even have multiplayer. Or rather, it only had co-op and splitscreen. I actually like Halo 2's campaign over Halo 1's, but then again, it has a much better, more intriguing storyline.

I think BioShock is the better made game of the two, but there's just so much more thought placed into Metroid Prime's levels, just like in Zelda. In BioShock, it feels like you're just walking through the environments and picking up a few trinkets here and there. In Metroid Prime, you're interacting with the environments and changing the, and because of that it feels more like a real exploration game. In BioShock you're a sightseer, but in Metroid you're an explorer.

Excellent point. The original Halo's big drawing point for most people was the single player campaign, which was pretty damn good. Obviously there was a faction who played via XBConnect, but multiplayer wasn't really as big until Halo 2. Halo 2's problem was that the multiplayer was great, but the single player was uninspired. With all that said, I'd say Metroid Prime easily beats Halo in the single player department.

And why does Bioshock keep popping up in every Metroid vs. Halo thread? Bioshock's an amazing game, no doubt, but it's not related to either of the aforementioned games in any way. I'd say Metroid and Bioshock are about on par in terms of single player.

Your out of your mind, or have never actually played H1 and H2.

The story and atmosphere in Halo is top notch, its a true sci-fi epic... People that say different probably think the game is about a war with some neon colored aliens...or never actually played through the 2 campains.

Halo is not even about a war between the earth and the covant, it just happens to be set in the time the war is happening (it gives a excuse for constant combat i guess).

Talk about atmosphere? Rememer the first encounter with the flood... the spooky data tape MC plays from the fallen marine just before all hell breaks loose? Or how about the creepy doom-sayer type rambling of Guily Spark in the library level as he leads you to the index, only to find out what Halo is just before you push the button?

And if you want to trash H2's story, you have to remember, its the middle part of a trilogy, always was ment to be. Its mostly backstory on the religion of the covent, and introduces the final players in the tale. of corse nothing gets resolved or really moves forward. its part 2 of 3! Empire Strikes Back anyone?

Halo deserves all the credit it gets, fanboys need to accept that it is a modern classic of gaming already, and will be remembered as such.

I just hope Bungie will let the story end now, not drag us through more and more weak reincarnations like Nintendo has done with Zelda, or Lucas did with Star Wars.

I admit, that is exactly what I thought when I first saw Halo's screenshots. When I actually played it, I was pleasantly surprised at the worldbuilding, but not the story.

I was thinking more about how absolutely crappy the level design was of the Library rather than Guilty Spark's ramblings. I don't think anyone denies that Halo is a game with top-notch production value. But there are just too many fundamental flaws for a discriminating gamer to ignore compared to Metroid Prime.

I like Halo 2's story way, WAAAAAY more than Halo 1. More twists and turns, better characterization in the Arbiter and the Covenant, etc. It's a far superior story, and a marginally improved single player campaign.

Well right now the Halo series is doing better than theMetriod Prime Series. On here, gamerankings, almost everywhere. Now I'm not going to go through what I've said because you Prime fanboys and girls don't listen.

No, no, no.

The first HALO had an okay single player campaign. Yeah it was cool messing around with the warthogs and what not. But everything about it was extremely repetitive. The environments, the strategy, the enemies, everything. The Flood is one of the lamest attempts at extending a campaign's length in the history of gaming. Flat out garbage. Best single player FPS campaign? Not even close.

Um, did Goldeneye have online multiplayer? Offline multiplayer is why the first HALO did so well. Its a party game for casual gamers and thats what attracted the masses. You go to your friends house and he has an xbox with halo. You guys have a great time, and afterwards you go out and buy an xbox for halo.

Halo single player has always sucked, so it's not exactly a competition there, halo has always been just about the multi player.yoshi-lnex

This is common knowledgeTSCombo

Yup!

It deserves credit for its backstory and artwork, but not for its gameplay or level design

Not for gameplay and level design? What part of gameplay are you refering to? The way Halo changed the FPS weapon loadout? or the way Halo changed the FSP health system? Or the amazing AI that the covent possess? No two battles ever play out the same in Halo because of the AI. Isnt that something that Bioshock was proud of itself for 6 years after Halo:CE?

And I have played Prime 1 and 2, for Gamecube (I still own one by the way) Prime 1 was very fun, and a refreshing way to bring the series to modern standards, but its not a FPS, and if you classify it as such, then it would be a very weak FPS. Prime 2 got old very fast for me, I couldn't get into the story after playing through Prime 1.

I just dont agree with the atmopshere is great argument of Prime. The world seems like its there to be a puzzle, not the other way around. And there isnt much meat on the bones of the story, just enough to motivate you forward.

Not saying Prime 1 want a fantasic game, it was. But its not on the same level as Halo, and not really even in the same gaming group (FPS)

The point is that Halo 1 was focused on the campaign, whether co-op or single player, not on the team deathmatches Halo 2 was known for.

Read the review for Halo: Combat Evolved. The series does not 'focus' on Multiplayer. That's a misconception. There are too many people who know nothing about the series, but who gladly jump on the bandwagon to play Xbox Live. Sure, it's great for business, but they don't know what they are missing. And it doesn't help that the competition claims that Halo is only Multiplayer, when infact, Halo: Combat Evolved, six years later, is still yet to be surpased by any FPS in the singleplayer department. And yes, I own Far Cry, and Doom 3, and Half-Life 2. PapaJohn24

thank you! people don't realize this!

It should tell you something that when the portion of the game that takes a back seat to the single player campaign is better and more well received by gamers. I don't honestly understand why gamers could think that halo has a memorable or worthwhile campaign. The series excels in multiplayer, thats it. You play the game on legendary and you're doing one thing the whole time. You grab a plasma pistol, charge it, shoot an elite, switch to the battle rifle or whatever, and kill him. Then you find a rock to hide behind while the other enemies shoot at you and grab another plastol pistol (because you do nothing but ammo conservation) and then repeat the process.
