i love halo. and i understand, many do. but there are some who dont, or prefer other FPS. now i know there are games with better or just as good storylines/online, and i know there are games with better controls/abilities. but theres something about halo that i cant quite understand how to explain. its simplistic and complicated at the same time. something about the online play, the feel..i dunno.. i cant put my finger on it. maybe you can help? why do YOU enjoy the halo games?

I love the story, online play, Co-op, and theres nothing better than having your buddies come over and eat some pizza, drink some soda, and play some Halo all night(except March Madness baby!).

Honestly, Halo games took the FPS shooter genre almost in the realm of RPG's with amazing musical scores, superb graphics, solid storytelling, and fun online. I love it for those reasons alone and am quite sad I won;t be able to play the third anytime soon. If you really enjoyed Halo 1's gameplay and storytelling I'd recommend Resistance: FoM just in case your interested. It's very creative much the same way Halo one was...and it a good FPS for anybody out there.

That's really too bad, it's very much the revolution Halo 1 was. Sadly, I remember people saying Halo 1 was a cheap ripoff of Red Faction and very slow paced and boring....some people just never give great things a fighting chance.

i knew it! lol but seriously i know its awesome with your buddies but i can play alone for hours... i just cant explain why i love it so much. this isnt just a thread praising the game because there are plenty, its a thread of explaining the addiction and why no other game has this effect on me. something about the mechanics of gameplay i cant explain.

It's not the game really, it's really because, sence Halo 1, we all have OCD about what Master Cheif really looks like. Stupid green armor.

It doesn't have the best story.
It doesn't have the best controls.
It doesn't have the best gameplay.
It doesn't have the best SP campaign
It doesn't have the best MP system
It doesn't have the best graphics.
It doesn't have the best physics.

But few shooters have balanced all of the previous characteristics as well as the Halo series has. It's not a matter of being the best in something, it's a matter of excelling in everything.

The reason I like The Halo series is overall, it is a great game. It has everything you could want.
