The Halo thread

I tried playing Halo on pc years ago but couldn't stand the retarded sounding enemies and never finished it. There were also always FPS available with a style and gameplay that I liked better.
 
Halo is meh to me. It's fun to fuck around in Forge mode with my friends on their Xbox360, other than that I don't have much experience with multi-palyer, though I do like the fact that they have vehicles, but I hate the player base at times (12 year olds and frat boys who might as well be 12 year olds).

Never played the story mode either, but from what I've read from the synopsis on wikipedia, it sounds like a good or at least interesting story.
 
It is good story,I just wish the Spartans would put some points into Charisma.If you get what I am saying.

considering how much praise it gets from idiots. Halo was a huge leap back from Unreal 1 and a barely acceptable followup to the likes of Goldeneye and Turok 2.

Now I have never played halo except for one game of CTF like a year ago, but why do you have to call people who disagree with you idiots? That seems rather rude and over the top.
 
Because if they loved the music of Halo 1 that's exactly what they are. SO much praise was given and I couldn't believe how blah it was in reality. Maybe they redid the soundtrack for the sequels and made it good. I don't know, I never played them.

So someone is dumb because they dislike something you like?

That's like if I called all Non Muslims idiots just because I myself am Muslim
 
LOVES Halo music... especially Halo 3 theme.

I've enjoyed Halo: Combat Evolved for PC, and I've actually played it with a few friends some time ago. Boost the difficulty on max, load the game and start shooting guns, throwing grenades and jumping around. Quite fun if you ask me.

Not the best FPS I've played (far from it), and after trying Halo 2 I gave up. Got bored, and besides, the graphics aren't really... 2007.
 
I enjoyed the series quite thoroughly, but I've called it quits at this point. When I saw the announcement for Halo 4, I was disappointed.

Zombie Franchise anyone?
 
Yeah,I think Halo 4 will be a disaster.It should have ended with 3(or Reach,maybe) but Microsoft needs something for the "Hardcore"crowd.Gears of War trilogy being done and all. BTW if no one minds,I will start posting any Halo news (theres a bunch on youtube on Halo:CEA).in this tread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_y3cbIV-Xg Anyone remember this ? It's the Halo 2 E3 demo! Man,this looks better than the finished product!
 
Never said Reach was a good game.But really Halo is known for it's mutiplayer,not for having a good story.And plus a new studio(343 industries)will be making Halo 4(and CEA)so I expect Fallout 3 level of shity-ness. BTW:Incubus did 4 songs for Halo 2:they are:Follow(!st movement of the odyssey),2nd movement of the odyssey,3rd movement of the odyssey and 4 movement of the odyssey.If I find them,I will link them.

The premise behind the Halo rings I thought was actually pretty cool, and I think Bungie does have some of the better writers in the game development biz with games like Marathon under their belt. Case in point, whoever came up with the level titles "Charon doesn't make change," "The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe," and "Warning: Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Convicts" should really feel proud of themselves.
 
And I will say that I actually kind of enjoyed the Library mission: Co-op on Legendary with a buddy, hordes of "zambies!" coming at you, and a shotgun that had reach. For me, it was basically Left 4 Dead seven years before Left 4 Dead came out.

And Reach wasn't? The campaign was so bad in certain spots that even the 12-year-old I was playing it with was bored.

Not that I disagree but what were the turns of for you and your co player?

You do know that Bungie ripped off Starhammer and the Vang Duology right?
 
I'm primarily a PC gamer, I've never owned an X-Box or 360, but Halo was excellent for it's time (imo) for it's AI and co-op campaigns. The online multiplayer, i could give a shit about. Console online FPS games seem to be filled with assholes, bug exploiters, and recently brought to my attention, LagSwitchers. I wish I could track those assholes down and strangle them like that unemployed eenglish bloke did to that shit talking kid in COD recently. I recently put down Metal Gear Online because of asshole lag-switchers/exploiters. Adding "stats" to these games really killed the untainted competition in the genre, creating dickheads who will do anything to get to the top, while ruining it for players like myself.
Sorry if that turned into a rant.
