Why Halo is the most hated/liked FPS ever

great another english teacher.

just because i say hating and hater you labeled me as a gangster. what makes you think that most people that talk like are gangster? what makes you think that all of us gangster as you labeled me love 50 cent? you have a horrible misconception of life, just do yourself a favor and take it away.

by the way you forgot to put a space in "themwith". i guess english teacher also make mistakes.

Finish the FIGHT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess the person who made that up from bungie is also very childish.

Just so you know, the GS text editor currently has a glitch that sometimes causes words to run together.

Unoriginal story is somewhat unopinionated. Point out flaws by all means, but the game has a fine story. Simple as that.

norfair_dweller

The story seems to borrow from some science fiction novels I have read. That's why I think it's not original. I could be wrong, but that's why I think so.

or just say halo is great but you find other games better, is that simple to say.

becausexbox fans love and cherish it for the great game that it is, and a lot of nintendo and ps fans dis on it because they're extremely jealous they cant have it.

and thats the honest to god truth.

the only people that hate halo are the 1337 PC snobs that think graphics make the game thats why they hype trash like doom 3 and crysis

halo 1 and halo 2 are better than most PC FPS except maybe half life 2....

and they have far better stories, and universes than the other FPS

now your doubting yourself. just say that you don't like some stuff from halo and thats all, don't drag it longer than it already is.

I say I could be wrong because Bungie may not have taken inspiration from those books at all, but there were similar concepts within them. I can't know for sure if Bungie did borrow some ideas from those books or not.

And to the last sentence: I did say that. I said that inmy firstpost of this threadyou quoted to call me a hater. :|

Crysis is made by the guys behind Far Cry. Far Cry looked amazing for its time and had good gameplay; it scored AAA here. They have a right to hype Crysis.

your first comment, what i saw was a sentence that started with "I hate..." from you. that's why i said your a hater. if you want repost what you said in bold again. Hate is a strong word, so rewrite what you meant to make it clear for others.

So in other words you decided to ignore the content of the rest of the post? I don't need to rewrite anything so long as people read the entire post, which I doubt you did given your statement.

Why should I reword it? I said I hated the pace of the multiplayer, which I do. I didn't say I hate the game, so there should be no misunderstanding unless someone doesn't read the entire post.

Uber-cliched? It's the Bible set in the future, how many games does that?

norfair_dweller

A supersoldier fighting against a horde of aliens intent on invading earth is an original concept? Supersoldiers and aliens are two of the three biggest cliches in videogames. The third is World War II. How is Halo original in storyline?

They dont invade earth till Halo 3 and besides the reasoning isint just to take the planet they could care less its to find the Halos and Ark and stop any non believersn their way. Halo has an excellent story but you seem unintrested to even give it a chance as everyone knows that pretty much 99% of everything is just a rehash of something else but its how its presented that makes something different.

Halo is a perfectly decent FPS, but it's not the best one out there. I've always hated the slow pace of Halo in multiplayer and I don't really like the uber-cliched storyline. That said, the controls work great and it's a very enjoyable game, just not the best.

norfair_dweller

On consoles it is.

Its being hated because its so overrated by lemmings.

I admit it may be the best console fps out there. But its hardly even average when compared to what pc offers. And it just annoys other people (primarily hermings) when lemmings refer to it as the best fps of all time.

My personal experience with halo is just halo: ce on pc and good god it was awful.

i don't like pokemon but its not a bad game. does that mean that is overated? no.

halo on pc and xbox is great nothing got lost in translation. i rather play halo 1 twice than play half life once. i rather play halo multiplayer all day than Quake III all day. (i stop after quake 3 so i don't know if they release new ones lol)

for the xbox yes.

compare it to anything on a pc and it just seem rediculous how many fans the game has

How many Halo 2's were sold? Do you honestly think all of them are fans?

Counter-strike for starters, Starcraft , Warcrafts (all of them) , Sims.

Hell , I bet there is even more fan bases for Battlefields ....

The love/hate thing can be explained very easily. Those that didn't buy an Xbox due to their dislike of new competition automatically hate all Xbox games. They don't want to like Halo, so they have the worst impression of it. Those that bought an Xbox love Halo because it was the most advanced game ever made for it's time. They gave Halo a chance.

I love Halo and played it on launch day with friend after work. I will defend the series all the time, the only exception being Halo fans treading on thin ice when complaining about the Half-Life series. If that happens, I'm a turn coat seeing as Half-life 1, and 2 are my favorite games.

But I'll say that most of the time people ragging on Halo are hermit elitists who can't come to terms that a FPS on consoles is finally on par with PC fps or simply people who havn't played it extensively or at all.

i think halo wins in popularity and fan base. infamous and famous at the same time.

Sorry what? I played Halo CE in its prime , and thought it was "Meh", as quite a few people have ehre I found, prefered Timesplitters on the PS2. But Timesplitters was lost in the library of PS2 games , while Xbox only had Halo ...

And what of now? All Halo 2 had was best Console online .... what is Halo 3 going to do? Best console online again? So what?

So the people who prefer Timeplsitters , and Unreal Tournement ... are not allowed to have this opinion? On par with PC games? Some? Nobody is disputing, Console games can be better ofcourse, otherwise they would be pointless.

But, you Halo fans have to except ... not everyone thinks its great, its slow, its heavily noob friendly, its online is still primitive compared to PC's (experiance LIVE first hand now .... I dont see the fuss, the features are nice ... but the hosting is a joke).

Timesplitters is garbage, the UT series on the other hand is amazing. If you're complaining about Noob friendly games then why play Timesplitters?

I never you said you can't have an opinion. I merely showed how hermits (myself) can enjoy Halo just as much as anyother console gamer out there. Seriously, I can't understand the amount of hate for two games which have scored AAA across the board and are a blast to play.
