What is the deal with Halo? It amazes me how incredibly popular this game is. There's not a whole lot of unique things about it. Actually. I'm going to make a list of the unique things off the top of my head.1. Plasma Grenades
uhh... I can't think of anything else.
I guess it may seem unique to console gamers, who have never had the benifit of games like Tribes (vehicles and vast outdoor environments) and Half-Life (Great singleplayer storyline).
In conclusion.
Halo 2? Big fucking deal. More of the same right?

I agree %100. I tried playing ONE mission on Halo at my friend's house, I spend about half an hour on it. The mission just kept repeating the same areas over and over again. It would have this weird circle thing you go around, then cross a bridge, then some other stuff.. and then the next area you go in had the exact same thing. I swear I went through 4-5 of them then just quit playing because I was bored out of my mind.cvincent says: Nov 5, 2004, 11:52 PM
The single player of Halo is indeed worthless. I don't care. The multiplayer just kicks ass.You may say that other games have the same things Halo does, but Halo has its own feel to it. I simply can't explain it, but playing intense games of Halo online is more fun than intense games of most other shooting games. The absolute entropy seems unbeatable. Halo certainly has a different feel, whereas other games seem like Unreal or Quake clones.
That's why it's so damn fun.

I think a lot of console junkies get excited about Halo because games of that quality in that genre haven't been coming out for consoles as they have for PCs. I think that's in the past, but PC users are already a bit jaded.Of course I don't play any video games, but for some reason they keeping sending me Computer Gaming World for free, so I keep informed...

The Reason its so popular is not because how unique its its how fun most people think it is,and Leon you played the worst level of the game try playing it from the first level its more fun that way.Post Reply
