[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="Verge_6"] Sorry, you said nothing of 'In my opinion, the story was bad'. And once again, pointing your nose in the air and scoffing at everyone else because you read a book? SpiritOfFire117

He is the last of a bread of super soldiers that were kidnapped at age 6, trained in the style of the ancient Spartans, hence what they are called, and underwent genetic augmentation half of which didn't survive or were crippled. He wasn't always a "one man army". There were usually more in a group. However, that changed after the fall of the UNSC fortress world of Reach, hence the title of the new game. Furthermore, there are other MJOLNIR variants besides the standard Mark VI "motocross" design. But you knew this right...er...right? :|

[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] I have already pointed out that Warhammer 40k did this before hand.. Halo is a good game, but for story not so much.. sSubZerOo

Technically, I'm saying both of those last statements. I don't like the story, I don't like the story of any FPS. I play them for other reasons. I don't like Halo. But some of you apparently think that's impossible.GamerForca

What we have the issue with is your comparison. You said you don't like the story because a BOOK did it better. And thats ridiculous.

Instead of avoiding what we're actually pointing out, you could try to stay on the subject :|

[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="GamerForca"] No, you said, and I quote; [QUOTE="Gamerforca"] Because people like the generic storyline and the repetitive gameplay. sSubZerOo

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"][QUOTE="GamerForca"] I guess that means I just have higher standards than most of you. Oh well.GamerForca

[QUOTE="jherbach1222"]

The do your research before making a thread like this.SpiritOfFire117

Then* Okay story aside its still very linear and it brings nothing new in gameplay. (idk if it started the dual weilding thing but if it did That was a great acheivement)

I answered the issue of the gameplay's originality just previously. No, not a single feature in Halo was newly introduced. Not by itself. But it's important to note that what Halo did was take those seperate elements from previous shooters, and uniquely combine them into a seamless package. This is definitely a key ingredient (but still not the only one) to its success.

I guess that means I just have higher standards than most of you. Oh well.GamerForca

[QUOTE="GamerX2311"]Just give a summary of what Halo 1-3 is about. Remember- this is mainly for cows. Granted, anyone who hasn't played it would be great to answer. In reality sheep are most likely in the same position, but cows are always on the attack it seems- and they make up a majority here. And remember, just Halo 1-3, not ODST nor Wars, not the books. Give a summary having at least a tad of depth, meaning 3-5 sentences, not a phrase. If you have played the game, don't answer. Do not use google. AdjacentLives

You play as a super soldier known as a Spartan. Your real name is John-117, but you go by the title of Master Chief. You're job in all 3 games is to repel the Covenant while making you're way to seperate Halo Rings. The Halo Rings were built to repel the flood, a parasitic sentient race that basically wants to infect everything and everyone. A female A.I program, known as Cortana, is you're only companion in all three games besides the Arbiter, and alien outcast who aids you in Halo 2 and 3.

That's the basic outline. But there is far more depth and information I can continue on.

[QUOTE="GamerX2311"][QUOTE="mD-"] Adobe pretty much killed this kind of response on the first page, sorry.mD-
