played halo 1, 2, and 3 and thought my time was well spent finishing them. i didn't love them or praise them but they are "good" games. i never played online by choice for obvious reasons.
Nothing ever matched the first one but 3 was alot of fun with MP, the story didn't do what I think it should have done it left me kinda empty but I still love the games.
First played Halo at the Mall of America in 2001, either shortly before or after its release. It absolutely blew my mind, and I truly believed in the "Combat Evolved" moniker they stuck with it.
The purchase of an Xbox was soon to follow, along with the game, countless LAN parties (I would STILL love to participate in a Halo 1 LAN), contests, and obsession (connected the game to the internet via Gamespy Arcade wherein my brother and I kicked the ass of anyone who tried to challenge us at our map, Boarding Action).
I like the co-op experience, but honestly the story never gripped me, the singleplayer was way too short in Halo 2 and 3, the characters were never very interesting (I liked Master Chief and Cortona in the first one), and it seems like it tries to be violent but fails and the enemies and such never made me laugh and how childish looking they were. I don't play much multiplayer in games so Halo's mp never did anything for me. That's my view and it is a quality game franchise, but that's my opinion and the game just never fit well with me. Also I am a pc gamer so I've enjoyed mind-blowlingly awesome shooters for a long time, so Halo did not mean as much to me when I played it.
Yeah, I enjoy Halo. All of them saved Halo Wars. It was a dumbed down RTS. And after playing Starcraft and other RTSs (Micro), I couldn't go back to Halo Wars' style of RTS (Macro).
I really don't see how anyone can complain against Halo myself. Sure, it's an easy game that even someone who isn't that good can get kills in. But hey, it's fun. That's what matters, right?
*Horde of MLG players bust down my door and beat the crap out of me*
they're fun multi player games. I went to my friend's house and he had a LAN Halo Party, and i have to say it was pretty damn fun. Halo 2 has some kick ass multi player.
I liked the first one quite a bit despite the heavy use of recycling in it. Beyond that no. Halo 2 and 3 were disappointments in my book and after that I just stopped caring about the franchise.
Loved the first game, thought the second game was shoddy and then loved the third game. The last of these is still top of the pops with me and my mates on Thursday game night. Forge mode, baby.
Never played Halo Wars, and certainly enjoyed ODST enough.
I really like the first one, but Halo 2 didn't really do it for me. They took out infinite nades and the best pistol evar... plus no assault rifle? wtf...
Yeah, but I thought Halo 3 was a pretty good return to form. I would say I still like Halo, and if they re-released the first one on XBLA with online multiplayer...
These days though, I pretty much need a mouse / keyboard for my fps, so I don't really play Halo much anymore. It's still great for a get-together though.
Never completely played through any Halo games but yeah It's an okay series. I like the first and second. But haven't played enough of the third to say I like it or not. And havent played any ODST
I played the first Halo and loved it same for the second and the third and ODST. I really dont play much Halo 3 or ODST but any time i do it just reminds me how fun that game is with other people.
No, I've never owned an Xbox system so the only one I've played was the PC port of the first one. I thought it was pretty shitty. The fact that it's a console exclusive FPS series, on a Microsoft system no less, is enough to make me completely uninterested in the whole franchise. Why anyone would choose to play an FPS with a gamepad is beyond me.
I never played the original Halo: Combat Evolved. The summer prior to Halo 3's release I borrowed Halo 2 and played through most of it. When I bought Halo 3 I played the multiplayer for months. What I enjoy most about Halo is the single player experience. It's entertaining, and works well with co op. I don't love the multiplayer, I'll put it in from time to time when a friend asks me to but I rarely choose to play.
