who here has never played a halo game?

Halo 1 or Halo 2 or Halo 3, who here has NEVER played a Halo game- I want to see who has not experienced the best game series ever made

I've played a small bit of Halo: Combat Evolved at a LAN around when it came out, but that's it.

Haven't played Halo 2 or Halo Wars.

Combat Evolved is one of my favorite games ever.

I can't imagine the last 8 years of my life without Halo. I met a lot of friends by playing it.

i tried to play halo 3 online, within 1 hour i knew this game was generic crap. then i gave the single player a try and it was even worse. worst 2 hours of my gaming life i think.

I got like 10 minutes in, the only memory I had of Halo was getting a sticky grenade on me without knowing why it's stuck on me then dying.

It seems to becoming one of those franchises where it's hard to find those that haven't played them.

I've played 2 and 3.

I've never beaten a Halo game before, does that count?

My personal favorite single player right next to Half Life 2. Same goes for my older brother. Halo CE was epic.

no i actually was decent for a noob. but ive played other shooters that have better multiplayer, halo is basically a bunch of idiots jumping around shooting eachother. no thanks. i prefer team based/tactical for shooters. i see no fun in just mindless shooting. but shooters are garbage now, they all just rehashed crap. i only enjoy good single player shooters now. killzone 2 was the last time i bought a shooter (graphics hype etc.) that game is just as bad as halo, maybe slightly better because there is some sort of team aspect in it. but still overall its garbage. shooters suck.

The last level was so fun on co-op. Racing my older brother was the best part. I like how they kept that in future games :D

i dont know how so many people like this game. it and everything it represents is trash. god i miss last gen when the ps2 had so many epic single player adventures. the only positive to online gaming is sports games for me. fifa ftw

Does it count if you wished you never played a Halo game?

Because competitive online gaming is fun.....unless you're bad.

Seriously what's up with all these Halo threads? A bit much even with ODST around the corner?

I played Halo on the original Xbox at my friends house when I was about 12. I wasn't even into video games much back then and I sucked so bad. :lol:

That experience destoyed any desire in buying an Xbox, and I have never played Halo again. Plus I have never owned a MS console.

I own all Halo titles back to the 1st one and I don't like it all that much, never did. The reason I have them is because my wife likes playing it cause she likes how easy it is to control and just easy all around for her. She likes other shooters more then Halo that she says she wants to play , but they are too hard for her. I like more realistic moving shooters like COD, Medal of Honor, KZ2, etc... I don't like games like Halo where you can jump 10 feet in the air and get head shots. Another thing I never liked was how you don't get to carry more then like two weapons or something like that. I played it and don't like it so to me it's not the greatest experience ever...sorry.

So what I'm piecing from these posts are that ironically the same people that bash Halo either A)Never played all the games properly B)Never owned a copy of any of the games and just played it at a friend's houseor C)Just plain suck at it. Yep I'm not surprised.:lol:

i never played any sec halo in my life i know it only from videos on youtube and such topics even this is for me more than enough about this worse game

I have never beaten a halo game. I played about half way through halo 1 and halo 2, and enough of the multiplayer in h2 and h3 to more than understand it.

....its not as great as some lemmings claim it to be.

I've played all the Halo games (also co-op, online), finished none. They're alright I guess, not a big fan though.

Maybe there is a trend of PS gamers always 'coincidentally' don't like halo(I'll keep the possibilies for interpretation open lol), but in no way does the translation have to do with skill and reaction time. During the last few years of the PS2 and before I got my PS3 I spent quite a few years playing PC games. I dare say my reflexes are not bad in games like CS or UT, so no it has nothing to do with that category.

And I don't know how you can turn to my taste for turn-based games to talk about this issue, despite the fact that I do love JRPGs. But yeah, as mentioned there probably is a trend for this issue, and interpretation is free. :)

i cant quite put my finger on it, but there is something about playstation gamers that just dont translate into liking halo, its like halo requires to much thinking and skill, they are more used to games that are turn based or have way less required reaction time. Halo requires to much effort in other wordsHalo__Reach

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"][QUOTE="ItsBriskBaby"] What LOL! Are you serious! Come on now your fanboyism is showing of the charts here and now your starting to talk up nonsense. I'm a Playstation gamer as well as a Xbox gamer and their is no skill involed in being good in Halo. If you have skill it makes you the better gamer online, but even a noob could do real good it's just one of those kinda of games. One of my good online friends on Xbox is always ranked in like the top 100 in Halo since the first one and I never even played the game before and beat him online...He was pissed, but oh well. It's just an easy to get into game, no skill needed. Basically if you're good at most FPS you'll kick butt in Halo.

I never indicated that I don't "like it". But I can understand where you're coming from.

There are 3 types of people that don't like HALO....

1. Played it, got owned hard online, suddenly the game became overated garbage.

2. It's popular there-fore I hate it, because that makes me deep & complicated. (Most likely still in high school)

3. I'm against MS and everything they touch, because I'm a blind fanboy of another company, and Halo threatens me.

/thread.

Halo 1 was amazing. I still play it on pc sometimes. 2 was ok, and 3 sucked.

I never liked the multiplayer really.

I've never played a Halo game and that's why I don't have an opinion on it.

Same old indredible amount of fun you mean :P

I've only played the original Halo back when it was popular. My little brother's friend left his Xbox at our house, so I decided to give it a try, I had no idea what I was doing at the time, as I was used to the ps2 controller and what have you. I played my little brother in split screen and he strategically and consecutively owned me, over and over again, so much that I vowed never to touch any thing with the word "Halo" in it, ever again. No but in all seriousness, it's a great series, and will go down as one of the best, if not the best shooters of all time, no matter how much hate it receives. And there's no denying it, there's a reason why a game becomes so popular.
