Because a game needs to stand alone on campaign and the Halo series (excluding Halo:CE) falls shorter than a drunk midget on an escalator.
Poll: every one say they hate halo.

the first halo was brilliant but the second and third was just more of the same stuff and it got old quick. i wouldnt say i hate it, its an OK game but there are much better games out there.
And so far the silent majority seems to answer no, or not care.
Why hate Halo? Did Halo come and kill your family, eat your dog, and leave you an orphan when you were younger? Is Halo the reason you live on the streets smoking crack?
Forget you guys,
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything...
..so there.

Oh boy a controversial thread trying to start a flame war, but lets focus on grammar first
Well its just a general opinion, no need to explain it.blobby218 said:
Well thats your opinion, to me they were quite good
Better question, why hate anything : /
What is this I don't even XP
I got one, why start this thread, its just flame material.
Yeah, because going over to a friend's house who has it and playing it there is impossible...Crimsonsniper said:
I'm a PS3 owner. Last gen I had a PS2. You could say I'm a PS3 fanboy. I'll take liitlebigplanet over Halo any day. Because LBP is fun, interesting, a fresh take on a platformer, allows creativity (yes I know about forge), you can make a variety of experiences in the level builder, and it has a nice, accepting, and more mature online community.
Halo 1 had a good story. The books have a good story. Halos 2-3 do not.
Halo (all of them) have repetitive areas, poor enemy AI, bad voice acting, and it is extremely generic. When it came out, it was one of the few Space marine badass killing aliens. Now, that same title has become generic. Half life has the Orwellian society (at least in 2), good story, and varied level design going for it. The majority of the Halo franchise does not. I've played halo, and was not impressed. And you, Crimsion Sniper, are not different from the other fanboys. You are blinded by loyalty to the xbox that you can't believe halo has flaws and you must degrade anyone who says otherwise. Halo looked cool. I do not desire it because...THE PS3 HAS LITTLEBIGPLANET!!!
BTW, I think that Bungie is cool and would be willing to buy a good, non generic game made by them. That doesn't mean Halo is any less of a generic shooter with a poor story and copy and pasted environments.
P.S. Halo fans cause a deep burning hatred in my soul.

Another thread where idiots voice their opinions and say it is the voice of God.
If I go by the logic that everyone has on why a game sucks then I guess all these games suck because they are share a similar if not equal footing in terms of what everyone lists,
According to the fanbase, these listed games suck:
Halo
Killzone
Half-Life
Gears of War
Metal Gear Solid
F.E.A.R.
Crysis
Resistance
Boarderlands
Call of Duty Series ESPECIALLY Modern Warfare 1 and 2.
Every FPS ever made
Every Playstation game ever made
Every Xbox game ever made
Every Nintendo game ever made.
All these are considered the worst games ever made.
Truth is, if you go by every opinion every jackass who calls himself a gamer says than every single game ever played sucks.
Just remember people, a game has a fanbase for a reason. If that fanbase is big enough then you know that there is something the game did right to receive that.
Opinions are only opinions and that's it. You don't have to like Halo, but a true gamer accepts that it is a well put together game. The success alone is proof of that.
I don't like the Metal Gear games, but I can see why people like them and why they are popular.
Modern Warfare 2 is copy paste. "We fight Russians. Wow, like no one has done that before." and how about all the World War 2 shooters? Aren't they all copy paste? Modern Warefare might as well be Goldeneye 007 with a new coat of paint.
Metal Gear Solid is copy paste. "A man sneaking around." Yeah Splinter Cell anyone? I guess that makes Metal Gear SOlid 4 generic since Thief, Splinter Cell, Call of Cthulhu, and many others did the whole "stealth."
You are blaming Halo for being generic when everyone else tried to copy them? Yeah space marines were around for a while, but nothing like Halo. The other space marines were either fighting bugs that bleeds acid or aliens that were killed by colds
Little Big planet? Creatures that traverse landscapes using tools? Yeah Lemmings dd that too and that was way ahead of its time. Just so happens that they added customization in it which is inevitable seeing how fast technology grows. I could even say it even copies Mario with the side scrolling.
What happens if they create Little Big planet 2 or something else? More copy paste. What about Spore? Sim Earth anyone?
The argument that something is "generic" based on previous made games can be applied to anything made today. Sure the game made today are more complex and add more stuff, but down at it's roots it nothing that hasn't been done before.
All the games I listed are good and they offer different things. None of them are really "bad," but some of them are dated or the idea behind it is dated. Little Big Planet is not that original. It has been done, but LBP is the first one to have the degree that is does what it does.
Halo was the same way. Halo did things that were awesome and fun, but soon everyone tried to copy Halo and they ruined the good name that it once had.
BTW, I hate fanboys like you because you only think one dimensionally. You think only your product is "the best" and you think everything it does is the miracle of god.

Half-life 2 is copy paste. The game doesn't change much from Episode 1 to episode 2. WowF-I-D-O said:

The Xbox isn't designed very well, since its your console of choice I assume that this reflects poorly on you and I for one demand satisfaction, ten paces at dawn good sir?
Priate? you mean like "butt buddies?"
It's a generic area with cover.Dalton Frantz said:
It's the final level of Doom 1. There are cyberdemons, but they can't get you in the center building.
Same result =)

Or, for the sake of humor, it's in the room where there are twenty of them and both DG and MC are standing in the pool of acid. Shoot fast!
[sub][sub][sub]This thread is soooo going to get locked soon.[/sub][/sub][/sub]
Pistols at dawn are overrated and old fashioned. I propose we each use the previous iteration of our console of choice to bludgeon each other with. Mostly because the original xbox physically can't be destroyed...ColdStorage said:J03bot said:

but yeah lets get the flame extinguishers ready, just in case.
I liked Halo 1, was disappointed by 2, tried (and didn't care much for) Halo 3. Rented ODST yesterday and liked it. Albeit short, but, hey, it's alright. The Halo series went downhill (for me) at Halo 2. It was too easy, the story was lame, the AI was overrated ("THEY CAN SHOOT AT THE SAME TIME AND STRAFE! HOW ADVANCED!"), and the only redeeming factor was the multiplayer. Halo always had a good MP game. The thing is, I don't really care. Much like what Yahtzee was talking about - good games have good single-player modes, and can hold up by itself on just that, and shouldn't have to crutch itself on its Multi-player. I liked ODST because it doesn't focus so much on Multi-player, and it has a pretty decent story. It's difficult because now they brought back the health bar from Halo 1, and I love a good challenge! (Anybody want to play? Add me on Live, I could use the help/achievements). I daresay that ODST did somewhat rekindle my Halo interest.

The games alright, I find it very typical, I just don't get why some people (including a close friend of mine) are all over it like it's best thing ever, I personally don't like Masterchief either as he is boring and emotionless... then again I'm not the world's biggest fan of FPS's anyway 
Why the fuck do so many of you have that Lady Gaga avatar? Am I missing something?
OT: I thought Halo to be mediocre... I liked 1's story mode, 2's multiplayer was fun for a bit, and I haven't played 3 or ODST.
