Are you a HALO Fan?

Justin Buser · 05-08-2005, 12:28 AM

I'll be honest - I am not.

I have played both HALO and HALO 2, and they just didnt really do anything for me. Sure, I played them for a bit longer than I might play other games that don't interest me, but I have gotten much more into games like Riddick, PGR2, ATV v MX and a number of sports sims much more than either Halo game.

I guess this is because I really dont like FPS on consoles, and playing them over live doesnt interest me either because it is so much easier to play them online on PC as well.

Im a major Halo fan, im going through the books right now (about 1/4 of the way through the second).
Halo 1 was the reason for me buying an Xbox, I played it long before I had my own and I fell in love with it.
Halo 2, being honest, when I first played it, I was dissappointed. As soon as I took it on Live though, I fell in love with it and I still love it to this day.

The very first day Xbox came out, my friend bought the $500 package deal. We put in a racing game, it was cool. Then we put in DOA3 and since that is not my style, I was about to leave when my friend said, "Lets see what Halo is like." He put it in, and that game was magic! I picked up a controller and we played all night, beat the game at 6am the next morning. Played it until Halo 2 came out.

Halo fan I am. My friend bought me an Xbox so I could play it whenever. In turn, I bought a friend an Xbox as well so he could play it. We helped spread the Halo disease here.

I nearly jumped ship with the PS3 E3 shenanigans (`cuz that Killzone 2 vid was... a lot). But, with the hype set in the lies, and because of Halo, I have pre-ordered my Xbox 360. Amazing that one game can instill that sort of loyalism, but it does. Sure, I like other games as well, but sincerely, its Halo. It had all the right components: great gameplay, great graphics, great storyline, great dialog- it's like Am/Pm; too much good stuff. But when will it be too much, is my next concern.

i was done with video games (thanks to ps2) until i went to my bf tony's house one day. i stayed the night and didn't sleep a wink. all we did was play halo on legendary and explore. we drove the puma (warthog) out as far as we could into the water and had water-wars. i'd never had so much fun, the next day i traded in my ps2 and got my xbox with a bunch of games. i played halo religiously until the 2nd came out. i loved the gameplay, the storyline, and the graphics. i did everything you can do(i.e. skulls, that one gun, etc.) until i brought it on live.

now i sit with my 31 rank, beat up on people, and do superbounces, explore outside the levels, etc. with my friends.

ever been outside sanctuary and went down the waterfall/waterslides? i have, and i'll never forget it, lol.

You know what, If you don't like halo, thats ok. Everyone is in love with halo, but I could live without it.

gunit50pimp6 · 05-08-2005, 09:54 PM

zCraven15 · 06-08-2005, 05:17 AM

sux for u gunit50

Blank · 07-08-2005, 03:33 AM

I loved the original Halo's single-player mode. But because Halo 2 was so short (and because of that, dissapppointing), I wouldn't call myself a fan. But I will buy Halo 3.

Agent X · 07-08-2005, 01:15 PM

I like halo because it has the best multiplayer of any game its good with live and system link. The only thing that sux is that it doesn't have bots

gamergurl · 07-08-2005, 05:06 PM

Cool *** sig Blank it loops so perfectly I cant even catch exactly where it starts. Anyways I like both the only thing I hate is the fact that Halo 2 has such crappy story line but I understand it a little better thanks to wikipedia.com

Thief · 09-08-2005, 02:22 PM

I think u need halo for halo2 but halo2 is a little better,

morphec · 09-08-2005, 02:49 PM

tbh i think the game is an ultimate MUST HAVE sure you can live without it but how can anyone who doesn't own it say they have an x-box but don't have halo?

I have the game of course but unfortunatly i don't have live it is a very dissapointing game when it come's to single player but with x-box live atm it's the biggest and best game out there!

Thank Gee for that

Unless you are talking about my RITA sig,

I was never a Halo 1 fan. I loved Halo 2. I must say I was pretty good at it. I mean..really good. I still play sometimes and do pretty good these days.

Father Campfire · 13-08-2005, 03:42 PM

i would rather play halo 2 single player than play the online side of halo 2. I love fps games but the online side gets on my nerves with so many abusive people on it. I prefer games to be fun and have some friendly banter, but not people going round swearing at you all the time, puts me right off playing it.

Easy as to me it is just a overated game nothing less nothing more.

I bought a Xbox for a lot of games not halo 1 or 2.

The xbox can stand up with a host of other games and not just have halo to fall back on.

It like saying to bought a ps2 for Gran Turismo which is also a pants after GT 2.

Give me a or more real based shooter over halo any day. They may have bugs but which games don't?

Some people just think you buy a Xbox for halo which in many cases that may be true but in many caeses it is not. I find the multiplay as boring as the single play the Only good think i like about halo 2 is the macth making!

But each to their own as i think their are better games out their in my opinian!
