Am I the only xbox owner that thinks the Halo series is the most over-hyped, boring, load of rubbish out?

Ok, they not terrible games, but they are not way as great as they are made out to be.

No i would tend to agree chap

 

[Christopher]

Terrible games. I don't get the fuss. At all.

 

[Rhino172]

+ 1, hated the lot of them.

 

[Brand86]

All I can say is...try mp. It's insanely well balanced!

 

[Louism]

You guys dont like it as you are clearly no good at them, best games ever created!

 

[Cookie]

No thanks, I'd rather not play against/with children

I'll stick to outside sports

 

[DeeKay86]

If you don't like it, why are you in the thread!? Why bother clicking it or posting your crap!? You're obviously in the minority, seeing as it's one of the most successful game franchises Ever!

Whatever!

Thanks!

 

[McBunny]

except everyone bar you in the thread doesn't like it

 

[DeeKay86]

Note to mods, please get this thread back on topic. Thanks!

^^Unfortunatly that will always be the topic, they sell well yes but the target audience is well school kids...

Yeah, the target audience for a mature rated game is school children. That makes sense.

 

[FiXX]

its all , find someone.. charge towards them holding the fire trigger, when your close enough hit b..... first to land a melee wins.... rinse, repeat....

The first Halo, on the original Xbox, was better than anything available on any console at the time. It was a million miles better than any PS2 shooter. And probably most PC shooters, too. It was original, have a wonderful feeling of 'open-ness', played brilliantly and looked good.

It just seemed to get tired pretty quickly tbh. I lost interest after Halo 2 tbh, and I spent hours and hours playing the first one.

 

[Brand86]

I think some people think "it's not set in a real life war zone, therefore it's for kids" ...SO UNTRUE. The mechanics are the most solid in any FPS I've played. The beta for this was better than 90% of full games. The online is truly epic.

 

[Rhino172]

This is such a funny subject, not just on here but amungst my mates too.

It seems those that like the Halo series simply cannot accept the fact that other people don't like the game. I think there must be some kind of hidden message in the game that if you play it too long it brainwashes you into thinking it's the most amazing game ever and anyone that says otherwise is simply wrong.

 

[Louism]

I think that maybe you needed to have bought the first, second then third (I thought ODST was a load of old w**k) to truely get the game. Far better than any call of duty imo.
I had 3 of my best mates (all of which are total PS3 bummers) say 'its crap blah blah' went away for a few days took it with us and now they are total converts.
Not everyone likes everything (COD in my case which i just think there are better games out there) but for me Halo is still the best game for online play out there.

 

[Brazo]

Makes perfect sense! Which is reflected in its core user base

I'm not saying its not good or hasn't sold well. The wii has sold tons of shovelware

 

[cadab]

I loved halo 1 and never put halo 2 down, but I never seemed to get halo 3, I think its because im older, I was 15/16 during halo 2.

I'll still be buying reach though.

so i was right, there are hidden messages that brainwash people in this game lol

People that don't like Halo aren't gamers.

As much as I enjoy a game on COD it gets boring very quickly when the game favours the pick up and play audience. Not such a bad thing, it has attracted a massive crowd to the consoles which wouldn't normally enjoy entering a game (i.e. Halo) and getting destroyed for weeks until they learn the maps/weapons/tactics etc.

I'm hopeing that was said with some intention of sarcasm, if not then be honest, thats bit of a dumb comment to make.

It's like saying, people that don't like Clio's aren't true petrolheads.

 

[Silent_Scone]

really not fussed about this. The original was marketable and was good for Xbox. Not entirely sure what all the hype is about - a lot of people say the multiplayer in #3 is brilliantly designed and revolutionary to the console fps genre




I say f**k off

 

[DeeKay86]

I can't wait! After playing the multiplayer beta, oh my it was amazing!! If you love FPS, then it's all about Halo!

In my Honest opinion ofcourse!

 

[David]

personally i think ODST was better than this, not enjoying it atm, just more of the same :-/

It's not a dig mate, but why wouldn't you like Halo if you enjoy FPS' on console? What exactly makes it "not good" ?

 

[JJ!]

Halo never floated by boat. I love FPS, but just prefer them to be more real, fighting and shooting humans etc!

no worries, I see where you are coming from.

Simply put I've just never liked it. I've got no issue with the lack of realism (real weapons/humans not aliens etc) as I'll happily play other games such as Gears of War etc, I've also go no issues with games that may take a bit of practice to start getting into it (BFBC2 is awesome but certainly takes a while to work out what the best tactics are etc) It's just a bit "meh", and without doubt one of the most overhyped series of games ever. (except for maybe the GTA games as they are lacking a fair bit these days too).

It's just missing something that I can't put my finger on, it's not enjoyable to play for me at all.

 

[Brand86]

Mine's on pre-order now.

If you don't like Halo there is something wrong...although a lot of my friends say the same. I don't get it, it's such a great series for MP?

 

[Brazo]

The only people who seem to like his game are those with '86 in their title

 

[DeeKay86]

Pah whatever!!! I think Halo is f*cking brilliant!!! I mwean, the STORY is immense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[conneh]

Halo is crap, even online. Boring boring boring. Halo Reach Beta was crap too.

why did you click on the thread then!?

Piss off.

Just typical on here! Great forum, but a few idiots ruin it with their crap! If you got nothing constructive to say, and if you don't like the topic, feel free to f*ck off. The topic is in regard to Halo Reach - its obviously a sort of appreciation thread.

F*ck sakes. Pathetic.

 

[mace¬]

This coming from a non hardcore gamer, i prefer p**n.

Halo was good because it was alot better than anything available at the time. Other games caught up and it was limited, played a bit of 2 and then thought awwww no.
