Halo to Halo 3 - Really that good?

[Slick]

Well Halo 3 went on sale this week and it's sold great. But I don't understand what's so exciting about a new Halo game. It's just another FPS to add to the other heaps FPS. You know what it's going to be.

I don't hate Halo but I'm just wondering why it's so popular?

Please enlighten me.

I guess it's the gameplay
The story and the action
I loved the co op and multiplayer aspect also

People say the same thing about Legend Of Zelda
But i know you see the magic

AussieFan...your remark on LoZ is hypocritical...

I like Multiplayer...not online though.

Halo is overrated. What has it added to the world of FPSs?

[Slick]

Well AussieFan, you said that people say what's so good about LoZ but I seem to see the "magic". Well you do as well. o_O

But anyway...OP Updated.

Halo is way Overrated. I personally prefer playing RE4 or Doom, or any other FPS.

I believe i didn't say i hated it or didn't see the magic
you're right I enjoy Legend Of Zelda games but i also enjoy Halo games but I perfer Zelda over Halo for certain things and Halo over Zelda for others

Kay.

Op updated.

I should've put a poll up.

I laughed at the Halo 3 disc problems. >=D

Likewise. I never saw what the big deal about it was. Not bashing the game or anything, but like previously said, it's just another FPS with the same old features to add to the collection.

GTA and Saints Row are better than this game. Not the same genre but Rag-Doll effects and gameplay in both (Rag-Doll better in SR) are much, better than Halo (1, 2, 3)

Halo 1: Awesome, a real fresh look for sci-fi shooters.
Halo 2: Story wasn't as good, but now you can dual wield.
Halo 3: The climatic storyline, the return of the dual-wield, and weapons holstered when not in use.

The dual wielding was crap in Halo 2.

Halo 3 had a horrible story mode :P

I wonder who made that Post Slick????

Actually Halo 2's dual wielding was one of the first games I've seen dual wielding done right: independent triggers. I never really liked the fact that if you could dual wield, you were still assigned one button and the guns fire alternatively.

But it wasn't the first to have independently triggered dual wielding, a Half-Life mod called The Specialists had independently triggered dual wielding before Halo 2.

I must agree with you 100%
Halo 2 & 3 had amazing Duel Wielding

What? You think this is just another fps. Sorry, I have to be another halo fanboy. The genre doesn't suck and in my opinion and the halo series is awesome.

In my opinion it was short but sweet. But I hate the second to last level with a passion. All of the flood are so freaking annoying!!!
