Halo is the most overrated piece of crap I have ever played.

[Azier the Swordsman]

I mean, for God's sakes, what does this game have that makes it better than other shooters? I mean, the graphics look like something a dog puked up, the gameplay is so bad it's annoying, the multiplayer mode is excrutiatingly lacking, the game is just no fun, and boring as heck to play. You want a good shooter? I don't know why you think you can find it here. Losers.

Yes, I'm joking. Halo rocks.

holy crap my heart just about stopped......not really Halo 2 is crap......not really....hehe

The PC version was quite a disappointment considering the GeForce FX line was at it's peak in 2003 when Halo was (finally) released. Gearbox did a miserable job of porting the engine and optimizing the textures for being a completely DX8 game. I still regret paying full price for it.

*puts away soapbox* That was a good one Azier, I was ready to give a full on lecture of why Halo is a good game. Man, I was riled-up and ready too.

Yeah, it had some pretty steep system req., but it played great on my computer (so I didn't care much).

Uh... forget I said anything. I'd prolly get insta killed by all the fanboys....

Soo.... iki and sldr... where did you say you lived again?

[Cognitive Gear]

I'll just say that it's not halo....

[Mr. Rogers]

Xd;;;

[Yeshua-Knight]

in all seriousness, halo never impressed me, it just didn't really do anything for me that was particularly outstanding or anything, oh well

[Mr. SmartyPants]

i do think halo is overrated

[bigsleepj]

Halo is overated but at least it has a Co-operative play feature which is sadly lacking in a majority of the first-person shooters on every console.

[Fireproof]

Hehe. I lurves Halo, especially big system link battles.
And yes, I think Halo's overrated to a certain degree, but it still has great graphics, smooth, comfortable gameplay, and nice multiplayer modes to boot. Overall, a good FPS, but nothing super-fantastic-amazing-like.

[Dont-Lose-Heart]

i never really liked halo but it was fun to play when i was just hanging out with friends.

[uc pseudonym]

I suspected this, given your history. Good that you put enough text in to avoid the thread summary, but actually that made me more suspicious.

[Hitokiri]

I personally do not like Halo.

[dragonshimmer]

Ikimasu....I agree that it's best that you keep that bit of information to yourself

I don't like a lot of first person shooter games, and personally, my all time favorite is probably Perfect Dark.

I didn't care a whole lot for the original Halo, but I liked Halo 2 better, and Halo Live is just a COMPLETELY different experience. It rocks.

Yes, Halo is fun...thanks for getting me hooked on it.

[Solid Ronin]

I got sick of halo in about 2 days..Im completely serious

[Tommy]

ikimasu, can you tell me what the overated game is in a Private Mesage. I`m kinda curious.

I think that Halo was very underated. All my friends hate the original, but for some reason I like it better than the sequel which I find very overated. I hope H3 is good but I hope they don`t stretch the series as far as FF.

I second that! I was about to say "Oh come on! What are you, four?" "Please shut up..."
Lol, you really got me on that one...Especially seeing as how there are so many other topics on GameFAQS like this...Only they aren't joking.

[Tommy]

Yeah, no kidding. You can`t start a topic on GQ without getting at least one perverted comment. I`m TomDincht91 over there. There are only three websites that i`m tomdincht. I`m mostly tom Strife ot Tom RO 91. Anyways, yeah...

I have never been a Halo fan. It just bored me. Its not that I hate FPS, because I was a Quake fan....but I just feel it is really over-rated. If you like it, thats cool though.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

I seriously think its overated to. The graphics were good for there time, the story is unbelievably cliched, the gameplay is nothing to get excited about, its just not fun. The multiplayer isn't fun either. Its incredibly boring. I don't see what's so good about it! The only thing I like about it is the bright colours of the uniforms and some of the aliens.

I'm not even a huge FPS fan, but I like several games like: No One Lives Forever 2, Giants and the original Unreal Tournament. And I find them a lot more fun!

*Goes back to playing Impossible Creatures, Worms series, Age of Empires series and the Thief trilogy*

[Azier the Swordsman]

Wow. When posting this thread I didn't really think there would be this many negative comments....

As for the game, I have actually played very little of the main game myself, (I don't own an Xbox at this current point of time) but I have been through the multiplayer mode a couple of times with friends. The multiplayer is definately one of the most top notch for an FPS, and it's a lot of fun.

[Magekind]

Gotta second you there. I can't think of another FPS, or hardly any game, that allows you to play through the standard campaign with a friend.

As for the storyline, yes, it's cliché, but that doesn't ruin the game. It also has a lot of variation. The only problem I had is that when I started Halo 2, it was like, didn't we already do all this the first time?

Of course, I never played through the entirety of Halo, only about the first third.

[Hitokiri]

Ha....halo doesn't even compare to the Father of FPS.....Goldeneye for N64! That game owned my face so bad it wasn't even funny.
