Halo hype(no fanboys allowed)

okay now look I'm gonna say that halos mulitplayer(at least on the pc) is GREAT and gets 9.3 out of 10 but...the campaign is garbage,The Library(awful),the ice level(is repeated like library and you it twice) the covenant ship( same and is also repeated twice) the beach(actually pretty good) and the first level and the maw(no really good and also repeated.And you've heard this before but all you do is kill people(with driving here and there)Boring,Repetitive, and over hyped.I give the campaign a 3.5 out of 10,if it came in a seperate disc i'd throw it in the trash.Why do reviewers and gamers alike praise it and claim it is the greatest game of all time if the sp is so awful???

and yes I know i posted this on the xbox board

Because Halo CE single player though I agree is repetitive though name me a FPS that doesnt get a wee bit repetitive (ala Fear, FC, Resistence, COD, MoH, Killzone etc etc also).

The single player brought a well rounded action campaign with decent story, physics, detail and excellent scenarios that were well paced with great sound.

Played now it feels dated played on release it was as good as the best FPS released on the PC at the time and the PC had some great classics being released around that time too. Not been done on a console since Goldeneye.

Also the 2 player campaign was ingenius and brilliant on the Legendary setting.

\soo many Halo bashers just get over it. If it aint your cup of tea play something else.

You have to think about what a difference it made when it was released. At the time, nobody had made an FPS really work on a console. Halo changed all that, and now FPSs are one of the biggest console genres. Before Halo, people widely believed that FPSs would be unplayable without a mouse and keyboard. For that reason, if no other, Halo changed console gaming forever. Also, bear in mind that it is a six year old game before you pass judgement. Finally, recall that Halo was seriously rushed so that it could launch at the same time as the Xbox -hence Bungie had to recycle levels. They didn't want to do it, but MS forced their hand. And you know what? I'm glad they did, because without Halo at launch Xbox would not have enjoyed the success that it has.grayoldwolf

what do you mean by 'changed all that' you mean controls for consoles?(strafe with left,look with right) because i suppose I agree but,that still doesn't make halo one of the "greatest fps' of all time" but it does deserve notice but not get all these awards and for some fanboys(not you in particular,I think) think its a timeless,yet it gets old in 6 years? well I guess ill have to agree with the making fps controls work in consoles
