Metroid? Deus Ex? Sorry, but Metroid isn't close to Halo, Metroid Prime isn't the same type of game, and Deus Ex came out a bit after Halo was in the development stages. I don't think Halo is original at all, but I would say that Doom, Quake, Half-Life, and Unreal were awesome games that laid the way for Halo. Plus Bungie did Marathon before Halo came out.

It dosen't matter what Halo copied in the first place, it took all good aspects of other games and made its own unique good game out of it.

If you don't like Halo, just do so quietly. Don't start threads about bashing other games.

Umm... this is why SW board sucks. Where exactly is he bashing a game? He never said it sucked or anything, or that Halo fans suck. He just said it wasn't original. That isn't bashing. He is making an observation based on the fact that Halo, while its a good game (wasn't stated or not), was not the first FPS game.

He would only start a thread like this if he dosen't like Halo. It's like saying, 'what did Saints Row steal from other games?' You would only bring this up to try and point out that the posters view is that GTA is the superior sand-box game.

There is no way that can be since Castle Wolfenstein also made by Id came out in 1983, so actually its DOOM that pretty much copied and improved on Wolfenstein.

When I first saw Halo it reminded me of Unreal Tournament. They're kind of similar in terms of themes, visuals, and setting,but the gameplay feels fairly different (or as different as two shooters can feel).

Actually, every single shooter that we have today copied Halo.

Recharging health, limited weapons to carry, left handed grenade throws, and melee attacks (which no one can copy correctly).

Now almost every shooter that we have in this generation is copying "cover systems". It shows how brain-dead game devs are these days.

I'm not saying they copied it, although the similarities are rather suspicious on the surface. Even if they did take some ideas from there, who cares? It's not like they stole gameplay elements. Unreal Tournament is a twitch shooter that is focused on outrageous sci-fi weapons so the games feel very different when you actually play them. I personally think the games are equally good, but for their own merits. I've never thought Halo to be a revolutionary series because they didn't introduce anything drastically new. They just did everything that's been done before, but they did all of it correctly, which is why it is loved by so many.

WTF? CS didn't have any "recharging shields". Hell, it didn't even have health packs! If you had 1% health, it will stay like that until the end of the round.

Halo never copied another game. It looked for inspiration from many other games, and yes there is a huge difference. You use the aspects from another game to twist them and make them work in a funner way. CliffyB was inspired to make Gears of War after playing Kill.Switch and Resident Evil 4. I forgot the last game that was a huge inspiration, but it sounded cool :P

uhm... developers copy each other all the time... that's how "genres" start. All platformer games copied Mario, all FPS's copied Wolfenstein, every puzzle game copied Tetris. Same thing for movies, or fast food companies. As long as the product that is produced is fun and feels like its' own, then who cares?
