Halo 3

I have to agree with Catlin in some sense. The single player is over rated and dull. the storyline isn't all that great in the previous ones and in reality, they're are minimal variation of enemies. there were only ever 1 or 2 good levels while the others were repetative

Where halo shone was in the multiplayer section. the only game worth the £40 online subscription fee. Other FPS games didn't have the flow of gameplay that halo 2 had, although it could have been improved in some areas. although i have to admit, capture the flag and the other game modes beside Team rumble and rumble slayer were rubbish.

the AI of the 1st one was quite nice, the rest just sucked serious balls. i have to add that i played it on a computer, and until now from the reviews i have read the 2nd one has been as bad as the first one.

texture quality sucks becuase it is not up to date and most important level design is utter crap. i have never been more lost in a game than HALO. i mean seriously you have 2 areas that are completely identical in their stucture and textures only from the corpses was i able to tell one room from the other apart. i mean seriously that is baaaaaad. i somehow managed to play it to an end. but have never played a more repetetive and boring first person shooter in my whole dear life.

maybe it's the devs fault or the fact that it is an offspring from a console, but on a comp it's just not challenging... and brain damaginly boring :? i don't understand the hype around the sequell and now the 3rd release.

EDIT: i only have SP experience, haven't had the chance to test the MP abilities. not that i actually would want to :?

I don't know the exact reasons why I love Halo so much... It's an extremely polished game (well, the first one anyway), but I think it is the story and how it's laid out for you that holds me.

Silent][Moebius, don't forget that the Halo games were released almost a full two years after their original releases... I can understand completely how you feel, however I must say that if you are playing Halo for the PC, you're coming to the party late!! I'd even go as far in saying that I think Halo is the only 1st-person shooter that feels at home on a console instead of a computer.

Now I leave you with my impression of how gansta Master Chief is...

well the fact i hated Halo 1 most was ebcause of the really super-repetitive level architechture. i'm not a graphics fanatic because i don't have the money to buy the hardware. currently i'm playing CounterStrike 1.5 and Diablo2 LoD with a Mod. for me graphics is not everything but story and level architecture is really important. well of the last 2 aspects only the story was ok, so i played it to the end.

The library was the worst level in halo 1. It was hyper repetitive. but halo 2 was really only ever good for the multi player. graphics wise it wasn't all that, but halo 1 i think used bump mapping in a game extensively on a console first, correct me if i'm wrong.
