@ TC
everywhere else gave Halo 1 rave reviews, and every hardcore gamer agrees that Halo was the most overrated game in history.

according to all the reveiws

gameplay = same as halo

Gameplay is same because it's perfect
Story is fantastic because there is lot mystery
 some multi-player aspects are innovations

FPS dosnt belong on a console. If you want to see a real FPS, play Tribes: Vengence. It kicks ass. [/B]

Halo work very well in Consoles

Halo was the most overrated game in history.

Most overrated game is still Half-Life

[WMCoolmon]

Perhaps I played it too late, but I wasn't impressed by the original Halo much at all. Mediocre graphics, and downright stupidly planned levels (can anyone say "repetitive"?).

meh, my vid card is fried and isn't replacable by the HL2 release date, so i went ahead and picked up Halo2 tonight.

much improved over the original.

needless to say, if you loved the first, you'll **** yourself here. if you didn't like the first, rent it in a week or so because enough has improved that you might like it now.

you will shut the **** up right god damn now.

[NGTM-1R]

No. Half Life is.

Tribes: Vengence is good. But not as good as the Starsiege 2485 mod will be, so meh.

Drew: And what hardcore gamers have you been talking to?

[PeachE]

ok, i can almost understand why people might say HalfLife was overrated. afterall the graphics were old even at the time. the gameplay is simple : run, shoot, shoot some more. hell, if you were to analyze each component of HL, i doubt even i would give any one of them higher than an 9.0. which is why it's so cool that HL manages to be better than the sum of all its parts. and why it is the best PC Game ever.

and i find it interesting that the opening scene in Halo2 is a shuttle rail ride

[Janos]

I will buy a XBox and Halo 2, even though Xbox will propably turn the Earth into a black hole. [Because XBOX is big, lol.]

Because some people didn't particularly like HL.  I didn't, to be honest - largely due to hating that tentacle monster thing.

Even the best game ever won't entertain everyone.  Even if they like the genre itself.

[Fineus]

So you didn't like it, because you were incapable of defeating it?

Hardly grounds to dismiss the game, but carry on

Nope, cos it was intensely irritating.  Stupid tippy-tappy gameplay which required, IIRC, following a very dull formula of something like chuck grenade - run - chuck grenade, etc.  And other stuff put me off, which I can't remember offhand.

There are plenty of games I can't beat (fairly), that doesn't mean I don't like them.  In fact, that includes several of my favourites - I've never got 100% on any GTA game, never done all the missions on Startopia, never finished Cybernator (SNES), etc.  I'm **** at games, but it never stoped me enjoying them.

Well Story is great but...

Spoiler:

Ending is not that good

I read that from oxm


and most of those who downloaded that French-rip aren't even reliable

[aldo_14]

I don't think what I did read was credible now, actually.  It was convincing, but it ommitted the other arc which the game apparently has, amongst other things.

In other words, it was bollocks.

Thanks for keeping the spoiler tags BTW,

I hate scripted sequences. You spend ages gettin' yer ass nailed 'cos you don't know what to do, then you figure it out, then it's piss easy. The bosses in Undying were like that.

The Covenant sound pretty good in French. To someone who doesn't speak French like...

[Styxx]

Sooo... It does run on an emulator? If so, which emulator? Just wondering, you know, for perfectly legal purposes.

[Deepblue]

Riiiiiight.

[Thorn]

I just got it today. Omg@Arbiter.

!SPOILER TAGS PLEASE!

Is it good?

[vyper]

My friend from uni just won a competition to go to the London promo night. He gets 1st class flights down, staying in a 5-star hotel, and fragging the **** out of other winners on a x-box live thing (like a lan party).
