Dude I almost totally agree with you, The Halo series is not that great of an FPS series and is always over-hyped. I did enjoy the first two but the third was really disappointing. I think the first one was the best. I have felt that the best part of Halo was always the music, but that is just my opinion.inpachi said:The 2 game series i have a problem with is HALO.. and the COD series pretty much as soon as it hit the 360 and such.. First problem with HALO is that its insanely over hyped... Its a mediocre shooter at best.. Think about it.. The single player is horrible.. You have infinite health just hide for a few seconds all you get back to normal.. Weapons arent that great.. Arent that many options.. The fighting gets dull very fast... Now the reason i think it was hyped so badly is because it was one of the firsts decent shooters to come out on the XBOX and the current generation for the XBOX thought it was the best ever because they didn't know any better..
Now onto COD.. i gotta say i like COD2 and COD3 better than halo on the Original Xbox.. There just so much more fun.. It might be because the online community isn't a bunch of l33t 9 year old kids.. But really it has even less options than Halo.. Altho its 1 player mode is much better than halo.. Anyway the WAW and MW and MW2 games just got the message all wrong.. COD games in my opinion are supposed to be FIRST and foremost fun 1 player games.. Then a great Multiplayer.. WAW and the MWs series emphasised on the multiplayer sure it can be fun but it gets old fast.. And again largely due to the horrible community.. I like to think of these games as the FF7's of 2009.. Because FF7 was much worse than FF6 And yet got a huuuuuuuge following... Because it was a decent RPG with some nice graphics for the time.. And still has a following to this day.. Hell i think FF9 is at least 1.5x better than FF7 could ever hope to be.. And doesnt have near the following.. FF6 is atleast 5X better in my opinion its the best FF..
True, but you just pointed out a few of the only unique weapons that halo has. Other than that everything is pretty much standard sniper, assault/battle rifle fare. And glowing nades? yah that makes them special, since you can stick people with nades that leave a red glow-trail behind them in CoD6. Halos still fun but i'm just saying i don't think anyone should be saying that is has a great assortment of weapons, especially when compared to CoD6 or Borderlands.khaimera said:Are you serious about the lack of weapons in halo. I always thought that for a shooter it had the best assortment. Its my main resaons for prefering halo online to COD. It has a gun that shoots pink shards of whatever that blow up if you land enough of them. Where else can you find pink bullets and glowing blue plasma grenades?inpachi said:The 2 game series i have a problem with is HALO.. and the COD series pretty much as soon as it hit the 360 and such..

That's pretty much what it is. The games are so average that they appear to be amazing and some people took it as how shooters are supposed to be and thats how we got to where we are today.

Exactly.

I don't know, I mean there was more variety in the weapons than a lot of games, particularly the difference between plasma weapons and sluggers, it added a bit more tactical depth; shame everyone either uses the battle rifle or the assault rifle.w1n5t0n said:True, but you just pointed out a few of the only unique weapons that halo has.
