i take it you were one of those people who bought a ps2 instead of an xbox....also assault rifle kicks ass, system link....come on how could you say it wasnt cool...sure story was off, killing waves of flood was awsome , graphics were one of hte better ones when it came out ...people like it because the game was good just deal with it
I actually liked the story. Yes, there were lots of gaps in the plot, but the sequel made some pretty good attempts at filling in those gaps. You learn more about Halo and its creators as well as the Covenent.
and it was the first game that came out for xbox, look at halo graphics compared to halo2, big difference, and it had the best graphics for its time read some reviews
-Resident Evil 2 & 3. (maybe 4 & 5).
-Diablo ( all of them ).
-Final Fanstasy ( up to 7 only ) (7 was realy good).
-Super Metroid (old old but i loved it ).
-WarCraft ( all of them except WoW).
-Starcraft ( i liked it but i did sucked at RTS ).
There's a lot of others i enjoy but those are the best.

No I have an Xbox and Xbox 360 and I despise Sony. I just know the difference between a good game and a well hyped fanboy game.

Halo 2's graphics were not leaps beyond the originals. Not even close. A little more bump mapping here and a little more vertex shading there... so not even close.
I've noticed a lot of Final Fantasy fans liked seven the best. What it is about that one that stands out the most?
great story, awesome chars (Sephiroth, Vincent) pretty bad ass graphics for the time of its release. idk its just good ok.
why is FF VII good? you might as well ask why is Diablo good? why are boobs good?

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Even if combined Halo is just way better.
Storyline is actually interesting.
Not really.
Weapons are actually balanced and could create some fun tactics.
Weapons are no more balanced than any other FPS.
Vehicles are actually usefull and fun without being uber.
Tribes FTW again.
Almost every tactic has a countertactic that does not involve running around and jumping like crazy. (even shooting like crazy)
Is that so? Counterstrike had that. Even so, Halo had a lot of jumping around and spinning and spraying. So point is moot.
The game actually has a distinctive style, design and setting.
No it didn't. It had a lot of grey buildings and grass and cliffs. A lot like Earth.
Music and sound where absolutely amazing.
Main menu music was good. Nothing else was special.
Graphics didn't suck at all (it was maybe the most beautifull game at its time and that on a console)
Beautiful... beautiful is a strong word to describe a game. You know what games were actually beautiful? Ico, Okami, and Shadow of the Colussus were beautiful games. Halo was just a first person shooter with a moderately powerful engine.
Controls didn't actually suck at all.
Not horrible for a console.
I didn't say Halo was a shitty game. I said it wasn't ground breaking and it got WAAAAY more credit than it deserved.
As for first person shooters at the time, there were quite a few that were better than Halo for a lot of different reasons. AS far as story goes. Deus Ex and Half-Life mop the floor with Halo. If you want vehicles, Tribes was a lot better. Map design and atmosphere? Look no farther than System Shock 2, the Thief series and Half-Life again. Halo was overhyped and overappreciated. Not bad, but not amazing like everyone seems to think it is. You know what was more fun than Halo coop? Sven coop. Half-life ftmfw.
Fact is, Tribes was awesome. Halo multiplayer is a 14 year olds wet dream and you can tell because thats pretty much the group of people that play.
That's hardly true. I know lots of older people that play. Occassionally, my friends and I will still get together for Halo parties. It just has lots of great options for multiplayer. Capture the flag, king of the mountain, the bomb planting one, oddball; why do you think mostly just younger people enjoy this game?

Because I'm unfortunate enough to have to play with these dumb kids.
There are lots of games with fun multiplayer options and getting together to play Halo can be a blast with the right people(read right aged people). I'll give you that but you cannot deny Tribes greatness. The jetpacks were awesome. The vehicles were sweet and the whole Red vs Blue thing started there, not Halo.
I've always said when playing multiplayer that it's necessary to know at least one other person you're playing with. Otherwise it's difficult to have a positive experience. Lord Mantis and I have had tons of fun going against other teams. Sometimes winning isn't even important. Sometimes it's more fun just to crouch down low and hide for the entire game, rendering it pointless and listening to the opposing team curse at you.
I liked CS:S online but I was friends outside of the game with my entire clan. Not friends in person but we talked outside of the game. About music and girls and stuff. Mostly girls. Having admin of our server helped a lot too.
Star Trek Legacy had some great online play. It was one of the few multiplayer games I actually enjoyed fighting another human opponent one on one. Especially when you're down to one ship and your opponent is chasing you all over the map with their remaining three. I would have to warp out of the vicinity just to try and get some repairs in. Then come back, try to cut off one ship from the rest, take a few pot shots, then warp back out of there again. Sometimes the whole thing would go on for twenty minutes. I loved it.
