This just shows you don't even know what you're talking about. The story is actually unique from other shooter games. Entailing a religious conflict and the how the galaxy is endangered, not just by the spread of a parasitic infection, but by ignorance - how a misconception of long forgotten ancient technologies being misinterpreted as spiritual devices of ascension can lead to galactic destruction.

:shock: thats actually sounds pretty good but i couldnt tell that was the plot by playing halo 2 or 3 (never played 1 but i plan to buy it for 360 this week)

Then it's obvious that we're arguing with someone that doesn't know what the hell he's bashing.

Yea... I really don't know how anyone who played them could really miss that. I can understand missing medicant bias, details of the forerunners, and detailed specifics in general, but that's just the basic plot.

people love halo because it's easy to pick up and a good co-op/multiplayer orientated FPS hyped beyond any other game I've seen.

mD-
What shooter isn't easy to pick up? I don't get it, this isn't the days of arena shooters. And hell- those even are. It's stuff like Warsow that are hard to get into. If you're implying that it's catered towards newbs, not at all. The online community is actually relatively skilled. Bring someone who has never played halo into it and they'll get owned. It's not really like COD.

I honestly don't get it, it does nothing special at all. The MP is the only good part about it, the story doesnt even make sense and it is beyond generic. For the record I do own a xbox360 gamertag is xMixTapeManglax just in case you don't beleive me. The only halo that was great was halo 2 and that definatly doesnt deserve a 9.7 I mean REALLY? I would give it a solid 8 and HAlO 3 wth?? 9.5 Are you serious?? the story is repetitive as hell and MP does get old after a while. Why is it that people praise this series like its somehow revolutionary? I do have faith that HALO reach will deliver, Im reallyhoping it does because this series is getting a bit to stale.

You probably were stuck because of that. The halo story has tons of depth as well. The games tell way more than most people pay attention to. And of course there's other media which shouldn't be ignored, but in total, go to halo.wikia.org to see the depth of the universe.

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.

Because it has awesome MP. Which is what matters most for FPS.

Honestly who buys a FPS for the story?

Halo has one of the best stories in gaming....people are just too stupid to understand it apparently. These are the same people who think Half Life 2's universe is immensely complex...lol.

Don't bash a game, especially its story, when you have no idea how the game truly is or what it's about. What is halo's story about?

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="hreyhreyy"]

You can tell me with a straight face that after watching that gameplay video you are excited and hyped for this game? So much so that you're willing to spend $60 to buy it...

What I dont understand is why on EARTH would sony fund this project? Seriously this game has NO chance to make a profit why the **** would sony agree to make something like this in their dire economical situation.

Sony aren't only concerned about money perhaps? Even David Jaffe pointed this out, that Sony would like to 'expand video games for an art form', and there is a market for it. Case point Ico. Even better reason behind this?
Played Fahrenheit? skrat_01

What are you talking about? The ICO games are still being made because they sell well.

Why is this in SW? Anyway I'll put my two cents in to make this SW relevant. Halo's storytelling post Combat Evolved is absolutely horrible, despite there being deep lore behind things. Nice if the game actually made things like MC's origins relevant (as the teasers hinted). Hurm. And a response like telling someone to 'read the books ' essentially reinforces this notion. *Rolls toy rocket Warthog across desk*. skrat_01
It doesn't have horrible storytelling. It's just doesn't humor those who wouldn't understand it either way.
