[QUOTE="fs_metal"]Ask yourself this: Do you like good first person shooters? If the answer is yes, do not buy anything with the word 'halo' in the titlemuthsera666

What are you talking about? Halo is awesome. Not like Call of Duty 3 and Doom 3 awesome but it was also like 5 years before that or whatever it was. You should buy it a lot of people say its like the best halo game but I personally don't really care which one I am playing. I just can't believe you would say that Halo isn't a good FPS!!?? I just have to stick up for the GOOD games, sorry I apologize!

Halo is boring and bland. There are something like 5 enemy types and seemingly 4 guns to shoot them with. No good modern FPS will make you go through one bland looking enviroment after another, with each corridor looking exactly like hte previous one, while shooting the same brainless enemies over and over again with the same exact guns is a good FPS. Halo is less varied than the original Doom, and that is just sad

I have to disagree here. Personally, I didn't feel as though I was in the same bland environment at all while I was playing it. Still, every now and then, I pop it back into to play the Assault on the Control Room level with all the snow and ice. I loved that level and I still enjoy it. Wait. Right before or after that level, wasn't there a level on the beach? I'm pretty sure right after it there was that level in the swamp... Or there was the level in pinks, purples, and blues inside the covenant ship.

Hmm. I guess even different environments are the same. Nevermind...

:)

You took no note of every corridor on the way top the control room looking exactly like the previous one? It was the most p[ainfuly opbvious example of the games incredibly repetitive enviroments. IT was copied and pasted again and again and again

But that's like saying all of the corridors in an office building look the same. In the context of the game all of the corridors should look the same. Inside the larger chambers, many of the larger rooms were somewhat different. In a government installation (for example) it would not fit the idea to have each area look different from the rest. There has to be an overall similarity to tie the areas together.

No they shouldn't. No two offices in the office building are going to be decorated the same, now are they? Nope. They should atleast have some variety instead of copying and pasting. It made the world extremely boring to look at and explore, which wasn't helped by the fact that the enemies were boring to do battle with

Maybe part of it is my desire for cleanliness in industrial environments. I liked the futuristic, 'spartan' surroundings, because to me, it makes more sense. I would rather sacrifice adding personal touches to my workplace if the entire office setting would then be utilitarian.

You wouild rather everything look the same than people be allowed to be human and, therefore, different? Riiiiiiiiiiight. Halo sucks

You know, I never made any remarks about your thoughts though I disagreed with them. You could at least have the same respect for me.

When your thoughts are worth respecting and not absurd, I shall give you teh satisfaction

What makes your thoughts any more worth respect than mine? Because my opinion is different than yours, it's not worth a ****? What a horrible world you live in.

Anyway, on topic, I was just playig Halo 1 with a friend on co-op, and I was trying to think what it was that I really enjoyed about it. I guess just the satisfaction of outwitting creatures trying to kill me.

Hey, I never claimed I was a deep thoughted individual. :)

That and I like going for the headshots with the pistol.

I rtecognize individualism and know thast it is a very large part of what makes is human. It's because your opinionm gives no apperent sign of this that makes your world the horrible one and your opinion the unrespectable one

The fact that you get great satisfacion out of outwittig a bad enemy AI speaks volumes.

I, however, would like to think of myself as not shallow

You can go for headshots with postols in multitudes of better FPS games than Halo

So because I found a game that is challenging enough for my skill ability, and that I enjoy, my world is horrible? I enjoy playing a lot of games. But I am not a very good gamer. I have trouble sometimes with Halo on Normal. Whether this is a reflection of the game or me I'm not one hundred percent positive. What's wrong with me playing something that is a decent challenge for me?

Challenging enough for your ability? Just how much do you suck at FPS if that game is challening enough for your ability? Furthermore, that isn't what I said, is it? Try responding to what I actually said next time. It will help you not look foolish.

Um.. yeah If you see it anywhere for under $50 I would pick it up.. Why do people ask such stupid questions.. This is just like the post asking if Ninja Gaiden is a good game. Oh and is response to the massive post of quotes above and so on.. I think Halo2 on Legendary is the hardest FPS I have ever played. I have played Doom3 and Call of Duty 3 and I think Halo2 (or Halo1) blow those two games away. I haven't even beaten Doom3 because I found it all the same and boring. Call of Duty 3 was a really good game but I thought it was too much the same. With Halo you have elites that have shields you have to weaken, you have the jackels with the plasma shields, the hunters are fun to kill, you have to fight elites that are invisible. How can someone say Halo is bland and all the same? Doom3 has a bunch of different enemies but you kill them all the same way... Just shot them. In Halo you have a bunch of weapons and each weapon is better for killing certain enemies. And the plasma grenades in Halo are just so awsome too. And Halo is the best FPS as far as multiplayer goes too. I played Doom3 deathmatch and got so bored of it.

Doom 3 was awesome. Halo was the boring and repetitive one. IF you want a real challenge, play FEAR. There's a game worth yof your claims about Halo anhd Halo 2.

"You kill them all the same way" That's Halo ina nutshell. Boring. Repetitive. Nowhere near enough enemies to shoot at/. Bland enviroments with each corridor looking like the last one and a main character that rips off hte doom marine in looks and Snake in personality.

Honestly, it sounds like you just hate the game and then try to come up with reasons why it's terrible.

My opinions on the game are based on when I owned it and beat it. It is not a good FPS and never has been
