I'm tired of Halo haters.

[Kiutu]

Im tired of Halo lovers. You're point? Ofcourse, I really just hate the fans of Halo who treat it like the god of games. I enjoyed Halo 3. I enjoyed Halo 2, I loved Halo 1. I just hate the people who are its current fans who act like they love it beyond multiplayer. Alot of people who are Halo fans never played campaign.

No More Halo Threads PLEASE

I agree with this guy!
I think Halo is great, but come on guys. enough is enough

 

[happysock]

I'm tired of Halo's undeserved popularity and critical acclaim, plus the fanboys.

I'm tired of you coming back to this site over and over again

We can hate on Halo. With Halo thinking its the God of video games and everything then to be one of the most disappointing games i have played.

First rule about halo club? Don't talk about halo club.

Y'know, I wish that was a rule on The Escapist, If only we couldn't talk about Halo

 

[The Hairminator]

Thank you for this.
OnT: It's just that everything involving your opinion on halo tends to get blown out of proportion. I wish we could stop discussing each others halo-opinions (not saying halo in general, for those who like it). It would make the world a better place.

 

[MikeOfThunder]

My god i entirely agree!!

 

[RheynbowDash]

I concur. Halo is by no means perfect, but I'll be damned if it isn't fun.

Yeah, it's about as fun as a punch to the balls. Give me Assassin's Creed or Half-Life 2 any day.

I find it odd people wanted it realistic, considering the first game wasn't trying to be. As for myself I have only played the first game, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

As for the subject matter, it doesn't matter how fictional it is, it can still be presented realisticly. Halo chooses not to do so. Some games go for this, such as Dead Space. I thouroughly enjoyed dead space as well. And personally I found it a more rewarding experience than Halo.

The only thing I will ever hate Halo for is the extremely annoying and constant ads.
The game itself I have nothing against.

I hate Halo fanboys who think Halo 3 is the best game ever, compare every game to Halo 3, have probably never played the first and best Halo, are around thirteen, are incredibly defensive and insecure about Halo 3, buy expansions at full price with a four hour single player and a new mode, make Halo threads etc etc.

Same with COD4/WaW fanboys who probably never played the first or United Offensive.

Halo 3 is a good game, a slightly overrated and annoyingly over marketed one at that that, but the games degraded over time and it's nowhere near as the good as its predecesors. Halo 3 completely ditched the interesting story while adding nothing but turret weilding because they focused on the excruciatingly slow moving to make it look like you can aim, jumpy multiplayer to appease the ADD thirteen year olds that wont play anything without killing every 0.5 seconds and are all too common on the Xbox nowadays.

And now halo is slowly but surely being milked out of its nut with another game coming out next year which Bungie says is the last in the series but we can expect tons more spin offs and games until Master Chief is riding around in a cart shooting shells at other carts because everybody knows anything with "Halo," plastered all over it sells like hotcakes and you think MS would just abandon that?

This is meant to generate discussion, so friggin talk already, you crazy escapists.

I'm getting sick and tired of people hating on Halo. It's sort of become the cool thing to do now, as if hating on Bungie's masterpiece turns you into a video game hipster or something. Yes, the game has cheesy, color-coded bad guys. Yes, it has floaty physics, no cover-based gameplay to speak of, and recharging health (which I am normally not a fan of at all.) So why do I like it?

Indeed, good for you - personally, I'm tired of GTA IV haters. They always go "It is your cousin, how about we go bowling" and ignore the fact that you can switch that off completely. *sigh*

I think the thing is most people played the SP on easy, melee a few things and said this is shite, lets try harder, and they went to legendary and said, WTF i die so fast, UNFAIR!!! and then on multiplayer the awesome guys that make you cry they are so good. But i reckon the story of halo 1 was good, loved the SP campaign, but after that it seemed to me BUNGIE said, ok lets milk this, and made two more games to close it, when it just needed one with it leaving an open ending bout their war. I agree with you Jerich0 and all the others with this point of view but on the same side, HALO FANBOY/GIRLS WONT CHANGE BECAUSE OF THESE THREADS, JUST LET THE HALO THREADS DIE BECAUSE THEY DONT DO ANYTHING, so lets all go kill some spys, or toast some sandviches as a pyro till the halo threads dissapear.

I am a lover of TF2, Battlefield/front 2, HALO 1/2, flight combat sims, random strategy games and good old NFS:carbon(dumptruck ftw!)

 

[Contun]

Not a big fan of Halo, though I don't hate it.

Everyone has their own opinions, especially here on the internet where it's easier to speak your mind, we just have to get used to it...

 

[RanD00M]

I´m sick of anything Bungie related nowadays.

 

[Contun]

Also, Halo isn't the only game being hated on.

Call of Duty has been insulted, along with Fallout 3, World of Warcraft, and most of Valves games. People are going to disrespect a game no mater how awesome, it's simply their opinion.

 

[IDBash]

I'm just tired in general... Halo is a decent series... I think that the fanboy vs hater is always a fun experience, so I am really not tired of that. But I can understand why a fanboy or hater would be... cuz that has to take a lot of energy.

 

[blackfrancis567]

I'm tired of Halo fan boys
Halo haters
Halo threads
Halo ad's
Halo rings
"Halo" by Machine Head
MLG Halo players
Halo Electronics
and people who say Halo is over rated

About time someone said it

I find your assertion to be flawed.

The Halo franchise, as a whole or on a game-by-game basis, is not really what I would call a masterpiece. A better word, I think, might have been "flagship", as that is a non-subjective term that doesn't connote the supposed quality that not all parties agree upon.

Furthermore, you assert that "The gameplay mechanics are polished to a mirror sheen, are easy to get your head around, and have a surprising amount of depth." Simply put, this is an opinion. Furthermore, there are several glaring gameplay problems, varying in each game, and as we have no clear indication to what game you refer, I won't take the time to point them out.

Further down the line you insist that the Halo games MUST be great because of it's high purchase numbers. A HUGE logical fallacy, sir. The same logic can be applied to "Hannah Montana MUST be hugely talented, because so many people buy her albums and merchandise" or "Hinduism MUST be the correct religion, because there are far more Hindus than Catholics" (No offense meant to any Hindi Escapists, and good Catholics will take offense no matter what I say).

Now, in my own opinion, HALO was a rather good game, if a bit too long and suffering from repetition. Halo 2 had a ridiculous number of glitches and bugs, but it WORKED and it had plenty of hunters for me to bullfight. Halo 3 was essentially a cartoony graphical update to Halo 2 with some slight physics changes that in many cases improve gameplay, but not all. I haven't played ODST yet but will eventually due to the immense nerd-on I have for Nathan Fillion.

The story is also heavily cliched.


I like Halo
