Fair point but going on what I've seen on these forums it is the majority that dislikes Halo.
You haven't seen much of the forum then... Pretty much every thread that tries to debunk Halo attracts Halo fans, the posts roughly balancing out between the haters and lovers of the series.
I've seen more of the forums then you and I have yet to see more then one halo fan on a thread.
Why do people hate Halo so much?

I played Halo 3 and thought it was fun, nothing mind blowing but still pretty well made and a good blast, although the story made me snigger.

Is it a case of too much hype that wasn't delivered on or is it a response to overbearing fanboy worship?

I think the real reason people hate Halo is because they want to have a "better image of themselves" or maybe its their own personal opinion, I'm a fan of Halo but not a fanboy.
Yeah I mean I've played some truly shitty games and I don't count Halo as one, most things in it seemed to work pretty well even if the guns did look like they came from the toddler's section of Toymaster....

Hey, I think the guns look badass except for the pistol. It's odd that the pistol looks like something from Fisher Price but man is it powerful and overpowered.

Another thing, Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2 > You are Empty.
I dunno, I found it hard to feel badass holding a gun that looked like a pink super soaker

It's a super soaker that kills, that's why its badass.
Haha this is true, but is still does not detract from the fact that the damn gun is PINK!!!

What, in everyone's opinions, are some truly great FPS's? What makes a FPS great? Is it the weapon selection, the enemies, the flow of combat, the setting, or something else?
Half Life 2, Halo 1-3, Killzone 2, F.E.A.R. 2, Call of Duty 4, Resistance 2. To me, something just needs to be fun and engaging. All of those are fun as hell.
I can't beat that, I have just one addition, Resistance 1, why'd you leave it out?

The needler is purple and it's projectiles are pink, but it kicks more ass than the Plasma Sword and Spartan Laser combined.
The reason it is so effective is because the enemies fall over and die laughing when they see you holding it

Until I kill them with it, they'll be lying on the floor bleeding, moaning, and groaning.
Out of shame from being killed by a pink gun!

The extent to which the genre has declined in recent years is really depressing. If Call of Duty 4 had come out ten (or even five) years ago it wouldn't have stood a chance.
Elaborate plz.

Some of my favs are the halo series (especially the first), COD4, Half life series (not the first so much).

Great games that felt like fpses but techically weren't: the max payne series, oddworld: strangers wrath, and fur fighters.

I dont feel like explaining why right now, because Ive done this many times before, but I encourage everyone to not follow my example and not just post boring lists.

- Wolfenstein 3D
- DOOM
- GoldenEye 007
- SW: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
- Half-Life
- System Shock 2
- Deux Ex
- Metroid Prime
- Half-Life 2
- BioShock
Nice List. Sorry to nitpick, but Deus Ex and System shock 2 are actually ARPGs, and Metroid Prime is a First Person Adventure, but I assume that they count on here anyway.

Mine is just going to have to be GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, and L4D. Black was pretty cool too, but it just seemed like a summer blockbuster of a game, mass amounts of explosions then it ends.

People, Halo does not belong anywhere close to the list for great FPS.

Live with it and accept it. The only reason people jizz over that game is because most of them hadn't played a decent FPS before Halo came out. Therefore, due to their extreme inexperience with the genre, they mistook a mediocre FPS for a good one.

It's like your grandma thinking "Gee, this Wii Sports sure is the greatest game ever made" only because she doesn't actually have any experience with anything else.
