I think [as stated before] Halo is not really that good of a game, its to over hyped, and does have some solid game play, but it lacs uniqueness to set it apart from all of the other FPS's personally, I would go for a game that is out of the box [aka TF2]

Halo campaigns don't need to have fun single player.
You should always play a shooter campaign on Co-Op.

Dude, welcome to The Escapist, but FIND A DIFFERENT TOPIC. Halo is one of the most overtalked topics on the forum and you're likely going to get a bit of flak for posting this.
Thank you for saying it first, and so well.

Damn your avatar to hell nonomomo. I'm new here, so may I ask: Was there ever a time where enjoying Yahtzee's work didn't make "pants-on-head-retarded" like this guy?

Why with all the Halo hate threads? This topic is getting very old. That being said:

Halo CE had way better campaign than multiplayer.
True. It seemed like they switched the focus for 2 and 3, though. I suspect that's because Xbox Live wasn't up and running when CE came out, so their priority was the single player. After that, though, the campaign always seemed to be playing second fiddle. It still wasn't bad, but it was always very clear that Bungie cared much more about multiplayer.
Yeah. 2 and 3 were multiplayer geared- with CE, Live didn't really exist in its current form and they weren't so concerned with a multiplayer game. And the multiplayer was pretty unbalanced when I played it a few times- "touch a moving vehicle and die unless it's going less than 2 mph" and "the pisol" were pretty breaking/broken factors. Still, it was epic fun for just glitching/tricking, maybe moreso than 2 and 3 since there were less boundaries to work around.

Sigh... I keep TRYING to stop mentioning Halo but threads like these JUST NEVER STOP.

I think Halo as a series has some really great campain, Halo 1 was epic okay? For it's time an for all time one of the most action intense campaigns ever.

Halo 2 took on the role of the Arbiter and extended the variety of weapons and vehicles while enchancing current ones.

Halo 3 was short yes, but with great set pieces and four player co-op I really didn't care.

Halo has solid campians with many different ways to play through it. I just wish people would stop being so biased.
Halo's multiplayer is great as well, alright. Solid campain for solid multiplayer. I just wish there was an option to say that.

Nice one.
Question, Vrex: Do you feel the need to at least peek into every Halo-themed thread? Not being sarcastic or anything, I'm genuinely curious, since I've seen you in so many.

(sorry couldn't resist, I also could not resist reporting you for obvious and annoying trolling and I want to add that maybe the people voting 'no' are in fact saying 'no the campain is good')

Actually I think the threads find me, though in truth yeah I have been in a lot of them lately, it's something I keep telling myself to avoid. But every single time I see another thread about how Halo is average and boring when most people have heard it enough times already it makes me really angry.
I love the escapists but threads like these are the equivilant of an annoying person at a party repeating the same thing over and over again, you know?

(by the way I accidentally quoted my own post when I meant to edit.)

I liked the campaign in the first game, but I believe that Bungie quickly realized that their multiplayer was much better than their single player. The campaigns in 2 and 3 were average at best. I think Bungie spent the majority of their resources on multiplayer development.

So long as hating on Halo is the "cool" thing to do, these threads are going to keep appearing. I know exactly how you feel, believe me (it's the same thing for me with people who constantly need to assert the same biased generalizations about anime and JRPGs), but sadly, we might as well be yelling at a brick wall...

YES, HALO IS MEDIOCRE, WE GET IT.


Goblin Jesus man, MOVE ONTO A DIFFERENT SUBJECT. Lets talk about.. I dunno, how much Resident Evil sucks, ANYTHING.

We've all heard this to death.

I vote that as a collective culture we move on to bashing Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, or Metal Gear Solid.

You're just jealous because Yes is winning in the polls.
You're just jealous because I reported your blatant trolling and extremely unoriginal flaming.

These threads need to stop. I think any thread with the word "Halo" in the title from now on (that isn't in the Reviews section, of course) should be auto-flagged for mod review. Since it seems like 99% of Halo threads around here are nothing but blatant (and often quite personal) hatred of both Halo and the people who play it, my opinion is that anyone posting about Halo should be forced to work extra hard to make their thread different and better than the usual anti-fanboy ranting.

... I may just have to do a Halo review or something.
