Why do a bunch of people hate halo?

I've never played any of the Halo games, but I wanted to know why some people hated it some people hated it so much.

because people that hate stuff shout louder than people that like stuff. fact of life

The same reason so many people hate Avatar. It's popular.

Because if its popular, it must mean it's bad.Skittles_McGee

because its very popular and its embodies Microsoft

some people think its overrated but even say IGN AU who think its overated still gave it 8.9,

I hope Halo Reach SP is as goos as Halo CE's

The same reason so many people hate Avatar. It's popular.

It's not on their system of choice.

It's generic even though Call of Duty gets a free pass.:evil:

IMO, Halo 2 and Halo 3 could have had better missions in their campaigns, in fact, some were downright trash.

Halo 2 and 3 are shorter than the 1st.

It's has too much color.

No bots.

Reused graphics engines after 2.

ODST is overpriced.

Halo Wars shouldn't be canon.

I can go all day buddy...

its less about the franchise, its more about the fans ala twilight.

you should look at somr reach hype threads and you'll understand where the anger not hate comes from

Halo Wars shouldn't be canon.

because it is a mediocre game that is praised as being the savoir and messiah of all games to date. People that have any XBOX like to brag about the game, even though I dont see the reward of owning it.

Reasons to not like it: aim assist, bad story, weak SP, very simple compared to other shooters

Reasons to hate it: Its a MS series

Because if its popular, it must mean it's bad.Skittles_McGee

Maybe the internet is populated by Emo's and Goth's?

The more attention paid to a particular thing, the more people will have an opinion about it. If Halo was a lesser known title, you'd have less people talking about it. It seems like a lot of people hate Halo, but I think it's in tune with the amount of people that actually are aware of it.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"]Because if its popular, it must mean it's bad.foxhound_fox

Just like you have a lot of people that like Halo, you are going to see a lot of people that do not like Halo. Some like the gunplay, some do not. Some like the campaign, others do not care for it.

Every game in existence is going to be liked and disliked, whether it is popular or not.

Because if its popular, it must mean it's bad.Skittles_McGee

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]
Or it could be a general dislike of the monotony, one-dimensional characters, clichéd and largely plagiarized plot/game world, floaty controls and game design in general.

I dont like the game, but I dont go out of my why to hate on the game. COD games get much more hate than any halo game imo.

Would any of that justify *hate* though? Hatred for a video game seems illogical.Skittles_McGee

I know people who instantly decided they didn't like Avatar without even seeing it, just because of all the hype and money it was making. Same concept here.

i think its because it XDed a lot of people favorite games and systems and they didnt like that.

I was only referring to hate though, not dislike. Though true there's likely not many people that actually hate it, per se, the fact such people exist at all is a bit troubling.

Birds Fly, Fish Swim, and Haters gonna Hate son. It's a great game, that just happens to be popular that isn't for EVERY GAMER. The close minded can't accept that it is a quality series that just happens to be popular. It's one thing to not like the game because it doesn't appeal to you. It's another thing to cry, moan, complain to the high heavens about a game you don't like. It's equally as annoying as being a fanboy of a game, except it's the opposite. You a hater.

But I'm not talking about people that dislike the game nor do I label such people as "haters" so why is this being directed at me :?
