probably not true, i cut my teeth on computer gaming, and i'm the "average" gamer
Hardly, most people who play console games don't also play PC games

but even for that the vehicles are completely overpowered in multiplayer. I was playing Blood Gulch a while back and was completely destroying some of the "pr0s" in the ghost? banshee? idk the flying thing.
totally not true, anyone in any vehicle instantly becomes a marked target for anyone with common sense
Hardly, the guys with the highest kill streaks generally got them in vehicles
100% not true, the majority of good maps rely little on veh's
I disagree, I guess we can just leave it at that

I don't like how it has changed the video game market towards largely hyped but largely shit games. Where money is spent on pre-rendered trailers and advertisement rather than on game development.
Game devs are in the market to make money, lose the silly notion the big ones give two shits what most of us think
True, there's no real solution to this, but it's upsetting
agreed
good

I don't like the awful rank system. I was at Arlington Cemetery on a school trip, one of the kids saw a brigadier general's grave, he was talking to my friend and he said something along the lines of "that guy was a brigadier general, like a brigadier in halo, he must have been like, in charge of the army"
and BF2/COD/Any ranked FPS is any better? Weak point tbh
Um, yeah... They used a ranking system that was pretty close to the real one. They didn't just take the current ranks and throw them in no specific order and remove a few words
so the kid you met was a retard, nothing more
Except the game teaches kids this rank system, which has no use in the real world. How hard would it have been to use the real one?

I don't like the grenades. Often I'll be moving in to bash someone, he'll toss a grenade, and I'll kill him, but the grenade will kill me.
Waaay less nade spam in Halo - Dual wielding solves this v.well
I still see a large reliance on grenades in halo 3...
not really at all tbh. x items play a far bigger role than nades, along with weapon choice
Yes weapon choice is important, but probably %70 of my deaths have happened in the way I said earlier.

I don't think the story is very different from any other science fiction book, movie, or game.
Just like any game out there
not really, but I will agree, a lot of games do have bland stories
the vast majority of game stories are bollocks
Agreed

I don't like how it is seen as one of the best FPS games ever, when it's not best at anything, Gameplay, Multiplayer, Graphics, Plot, anything.
sheer sales + user satisfaction prove you wrong
Graphics? well it's using xbox hardware so no, it's 720p so no. Gameplay? well there's not really much change from halo 1, but I can't really argue this because it's all personal preference. Multiplayer? well it's on a console for starters, XBL costs $50 a year more than my online does, it tends to be a lot more laggy than my pc games do, and it's got the huge balance problems I was talking about earlier. Plot? well there are definitely games with more engaging storylines, but if you want good storyline go read a book (preferably not a halo one)
Halo 3 can play in full HD actually, the Xbox compensates for it.If you break down gameplay, Halo 3 is very very different from Halo 1. So you get your net connection for free then? The Halo books are actually quite goodCool, it can play in 1080p, It certainly doesn't have the best console graphics, and it can't even be compared to pc graphics. Can I get a breakdown of the differences in how it plays to halo 1? I never said my internet was free. I said I pay $50 less. I'm just saying, as I said earlier, that the story is hardly a plus for the game, and is definitely not the best ever.[i]

I don't like when people consider themselves to be good at aiming when the computer does half the work for them.
sticks are a massive disadvantage, And Halo hardly has the most intrusive auto aim out there
[i]I know, but it still has auto aim, and It's definitely noticable
No more noticable than any other console FPS i've played - CoD4 has one of the worst, and even that takes a fair degree of skill
Auto aim takes a lot of skill out of the game, a crosshair that follows your enemies movements will be easier to shoot with than a crosshair that doesn't, end of story. Halo may have a weak auto aim relative to other console shooters, but it's still a big difference from pc shooter

I don't like the kids that it attracts, though it is sometimes fun to make fun of them on XBL.

this is a XBL wide problem, ever tried CoD4/PGR?
CoD4, yes, PGR, no. This is a problem with parenting though, the kids shouldn't be getting M games until after puberty.
Some of the worst XBL experiences i've had have been on PGR
My point exactly

Imma agree with Mig on this one, the Controller is just stupid for FPS

Ted's right. Hopping in a vehicle in Halo is like painting yourself for all the rockets/grenades/fuel-rod-guns to shoot at you

Meh, if you make a great game it will sell allot. The part where hyper comes in is more of preying on misinformed consumers, people who don't read reviews from multiple sources, those are the people who fall victim to hype. If the consumer was smarter games would be better. But as it stands consumers are dumb and companies are capitalizing on that. It's the basis of our whole economic system.Going to disagree there, Hype goes a lot farther than quality when selling games. And reviews aren't generally particularly useful as they often have sponsors.

What this has to do with anything, I don't know. Even though whenever I hear about a soldier in Iraq who got frags I laugh cuz he's a Lance Corporal and I'm a First Lieutenant. This has a lot to do with everything, it's definitely a downside and an annoyance. It's false education.

I don't like the grenades. Often I'll be moving in to bash someone, he'll toss a grenade, and I'll kill him, but the grenade will kill me.

Yeah, grenades are to useful in Halo's MP. But I get the feeling that despite the game's large MP userbase, the MP for the Halo game's was an afterthought. Nothing wrong with that though, Bungie made a good single player campaign.

I don't think the story is very different from any other science fiction book, movie, or game.
Just like any game out there
not really, but I will agree, a lot of games do have bland stories
Halo's story, while far from the best, is much farther from the worst. Allot of games have no or limited story. Halo also has much better story telling than allot of other games IMO, even if that story isn't too original.The thing is, Poseidon is the only guy I know who cares more about the single player than multiplayer, a few of my friends haven't even touched singleplayer. And not that singleplayer is a bad thing, but if you want a good story, don't go for halo, go for a book or a movie.

I don't like how it is seen as one of the best FPS games ever, when it's not best at anything, Gameplay, Multiplayer, Graphics, Plot, anything.

Now this is my biggest contribution to this thread. Ted is a mostly blind fan-boy who will try to spin everything positively, for whatever reason. Miggle has a mostly blind hater who will try to spin everything negetively since his mommy one bought him a PC to pleh games on when he was younger and thus hates anything that challenges the PC's supremacy. So Ted's trying to argue that Halo is one of the best games ever, Miggle it's one of the worst and my comparatively unbias self that it's a very fun game but still is lacking in many areas. Halo is a good game. Plain and simple. The gameplay is solid, but not stellar. The mulitplayer is fun, but not flawless. The graphics are great, but not shocking. The plot's interesting, but not Shakespearean. The game is good, but not Superior.I don't blindly hate it. There are some good qualities of it, it's definitely one of the better console FPSes out there, but it's done a lot to ruin gaming imo, which I really don't like

I don't like when people consider themselves to be good at aiming when the computer does half the work for them.
sticks are a massive disadvantage, And Halo hardly has the most intrusive auto aim out there
I know, but it still has auto aim, and It's definitely noticable
Well this, as Ted pointed out is a problem with the game controller not the game. Play Halo on the PC (like I did) and it controls quite well. Save the vehicles steering with the mouse, WTF's that nerd shit. Vehicles are to be controlled with the keyboard.

I don't like the kids that it attracts, though it is sometimes fun to make fun of them on XBL.
this is a XBL wide problem, ever tried CoD4/PGR?
CoD4, yes, PGR, no. This is a problem with parenting though, the kids shouldn't be getting M games until after puberty.
Kid's shouldn't be allowed to play games online until the age of 15, maybe 14. Has nothing to do with M games, as a kid can be an annoyance on a server for a T or E game. And if the kids plays the SP, who gives a shit. But in an online game a little kid can be a real pain. But the fact that it attracts kids shouldn't be a problem with the game itself. If a game is really fun and attract pedophiles, gays, Alaskans, bigots, and even short people, does that really make the game itself less fun?Agreed, but yes, it does make the game less fun. When you get killed and a high pitch voice has to tell you all about it it takes a lot away from the game

It is Sci Fi, in the future. You don't think ranks have changed between the medieval and today's times?How far into the future is this? And changing ranks for no reason is pointless, if anything it messes up the minds of the 6 year olds who play it.

No some fps games are good on console
Of course keyboard/mouse is going to be better for FPS games, but that doesn't mean that a console FPS can't be fun.

but even for that the vehicles are completely overpowered in multiplayer. I was playing Blood Gulch a while back and was completely destroying some of the "pr0s" in the ghost? banshee? idk the flying thing.

Sure you might be able to get a overkill or a 5-6 kill streak in a vehicle if you're lucky/have a good driver, but vehicles 90% of the time get targetted by all the heavy weapons. Most of my kill streaks I get mainly involve destroying a vehicle and just being smart.

I don't like how it has changed the video game market towards largely hyped but largely shit games. Where money is spent on pre-rendered trailers and advertisement rather than on game development.

Hype is never a good thing, even if it's truely one of the best games ever. Halo might be one of the best known, but it's certainly not the first game to be hyped.

Who gives a fuck about a 6 year old, I know a couple of little kids who thinks missile attacks/barrages are airstrikes
To answer your question, the game takes place in 2553, and it involves a totally different military the UNSC (United Nations Space Command), so of course the ranks are going to differ from todays. If kids think that Halo represents today's military ranks, then that's their fault for being ignorant, not Halo's.

I don't like the grenades. Often I'll be moving in to bash someone, he'll toss a grenade, and I'll kill him, but the grenade will kill me.
Waaay less nade spam in Halo - Dual wielding solves this v.well

Grenades used to play a bigger part in the other two games, but in Halo 2, dual weilding helped limit that like what was mentioned. In Halo 3, grenades play a smaller role. The only kills I get from grenades are lucky throws when their shields or down, or throwing one at them after I've shot them and they try to hide. Other than, of course, stickies and spike grenades which are just tbh

Sure, if you want a good story, you shouldn't turn to Halo or any other videogame for that matter. On the other hand though, Halo's story is actually quite good if you read into it.

To be fair, all games have annoying little kids playing them. It's just more noticeable in consoles because almost everybody has mics and they're more affordable for mommy and daddy. Also, Halo has quite a large userbase so it's likely that you'll encounter more kids.

God I hate marines, I'm sorry but the media have made me hate them. All this stupid films and games, now you have all these twats acting like marines are some sort of supermen elite group.

The gameplay, was nothing much to write home to. I thought the guns were pretty lame and it felt like Quake and games like that, I'm not into those style FPS games. Some people are, some people ain't.

What do you mean cliche space crap? Halo was so original...

The only reason I say that Halo is bad is because it got progressively worse as the series continued. I loved Halo 1 (which revolutionized the FPS genre with dual-wielding), but Halo 2 was akin to Pirates of the Carribean 2: plot filler. Halo 3 was decent enough, but nowhere near the first.

Come to think of it, Halo is analogous to Pirates of the Carribean...

The gameplay, was nothing much to write home to. I thought the guns were pretty lame and it felt like Quake and games like that, I'm not into those style FPS games. Some people are, some people ain't.
