Halo Isn't That Good

Recommended Posts

halo isnt that good at all even thought critics say alot of things just to create controversy. microsoft thnks that they all pro and just coz they dominate the operating systems area doesnt mean that they can produce quality games. not alot of ppl play halo with majority of gamers prefering to stick with counter-strike because it can be run on practically any computer and doesnt require an expensive upgrade to play it.

Halo is a fantastic game, period.

 

Counter-Strike is good as well, and has a huge following (assuming you mean the original Counter-Strike, not Condition Zero or whatever it's called) - but Halo is obviously much more advanced in the areas of graphics, artificial intelligence, and most other general aspects of the game.

 

The difference between CS and Halo is that one has a fantastic single-player mode (although obviously, multiplayer is still more fun).

even though halo requires some upgrades before you cn play it, it is still a good quality game. apart from that, the upgrades are given by microsoft for free cos you are not required to pay any additional charges for upgrading your WINDOWS OS.

I agree Halo is crap. Counterstrike is one of the best online games. Check out cs source from the steam site!Doom 3 has the best graphics engine and is better then halo in my opinion!Play doom 3!

How can you even compare Counter Strike, Halo, and Doom 3? CS and Halo are nothing alike - sure, they are both FPS, but they are still very different games.

 

And of course Doom 3 is going to be better than Halo, in terms of graphics, the engine, and other technologically-influenced aspects of the game - Halo is over two years old, and Doom 3 was only released this month. When comparing games, you can't just judge them on face value - you have to take into consideration every aspect of the game, as well as what was the standard, and the capability of technology at the time (I don't know how many times I've said this). For example, if you compare the original Doom and say, the soon-to-be-released Half-Life 2, you can't just say that Half-Life 2 is better because it has better graphics, faster gameplay, etc.

i played halo single-player (co-operative mode only), and a bit of multiplayer (not onlinE), and i seriously didn't see why everyone thinks it's so good.even tho i haven't played halo online, i think UT2004 is waaaaay better :D

Halo is an awsome game. At Nov. 9, 2004 Halo 2 will be coming on XBOX. That dosen't mean CS isn't good either. CS is great game also. But something about you is true. Like Halo require a good computer.

so, um yeah, but if you ask me, I like to think Chrono Trigger is better than all of the above mentioned games. Why? Because of opinion. That's the only thing that keeps this "controversy" moving, is everyone has their own opinions.Spectre said it best, in that you can't compare them evenly. I'd reather bust out my old snes, and play a classic rpg, than sit through countless hours of fps monotony. Again, my 2 pennies...

Yeah, but there's a big difference between popping in a classic and playing Halo. Halo, IMO. is the game of this generation. It is the only console FPS to have gameplay up to snuff with PC FPSs like Half Life, Battlefield, and Call of Duty. And its story is beyond most other FPS games. But classic games have a different feel. They don't have all the cool stuff that Halo has, but it has an extremely solid and amazing core gameplay that stands the test of time. I still whip out an NES every now and then to play SMB3 because it is just plain fun.
