I just wanted to see how many people knew of this game. I personally Love this game, The single player missions are awesome with a great story behind the gameplay. And the Multiplayer is unbelievably fun, especailly when playing 16-people on four different TV's...... great fun. But what are you veiws on it and it's upcoming sequel???

I know of it. And I pry know a bit more about it than the average X-Box gamer (I'm not one though). It was originaly going to be a Macintosh exclusive game, untill Microsoft flashed money at the studio that was making it and bought them out.

This game is SO over hyped and over rated that it's not even funny. I played it. It's another FPS that looks pretty. I really wasn't impressed at all.

I thought it was one of the best FPS's to come out. They finally nailed controls on a console, the story was excellent, the graphics were good, and the gameplay was quite fun. Love the game. Can't wait for the sequal, it looks 100x better...I hear they've added flamethrowers and energy swords. That'll be sweet.

Did you play the Single player Missions or Multiplayer???Multiplayer, which from what I've read is supposed to be the games strong point.

If I want a FPS, I'll play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark.

This game has owned my life for nearly 2 years now. My gang and I have played this game religiously ever since it first came out. And when Halo 2 comes out? Whoooo child..

I love Halo. I play multiplayer mode with my brother and his friends, usually. We always have a grat time. We've had Halo 2 pre-ordered for over a month now! :) I can't wait until that comes out!

I've played it against my cousin...we did that level with the two bases in the cliffs. He kept sniping me, I was no good :lol: Of course if I got in one of those purple speeders I could get him sometimes (I think he let me beat him). Suffice to say I didn't get very good at it in what little I played :goofygri:

The thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that you couldn't damage the vehicles in that level. You could smash them, roll them and they wouldn't even scratch. I kinda like it better if you smash something in a game it leaves a dent.

Still its a game I'm sure I'd enjoy owning, too bad its only on X-Box. Course it is out for PC but its expensive....ain't gonna blow that much on it now.

Heh.. Interesting subject, what's your weapon of choice? For me, it's the rocket launcher. I've mastered that gun to an art form. To a science. A lot of people claim that rockets takes no skill.... Until they play against me. Heh.

I don't really have a weapon of choice. I beat my friends plenty just running and jumping around in clear view and I still manage to kill them. :lol:

Great game. The ending of it does get very very boring. I personally think after the first flood level the game out right sucks. Multiplayer rocks though. My favorite weapon is the pistol. Just because my friends and I always play with a no sniping rule, but the pistol isn't sniping. Kinda. :evilgrin:

Please tell me that was a joke. If not. Madden sucks. There. :) So yeah I love this game I play it sometimes with mike and also with some friends. Great game. Halo 2 is going to be awesome and I cant wait!

I love Halo and cant wait for Halo 2. My favourite weapons would be a combination of the shotgun for close range and the pistol for sniping and when I'm in a close quarters battle and have to reload the shotgun. I've played system link more times than I can count. One team on the top floor of my house, the other in my basement. It's the most fun I've had playing a video game. Does anyone else play Halo on the internet, through xbox connect? I will be when I get xbox live after christmas.

Weapons of Choice : Shotgun and Bazzooka
And I love Driving those jeeps.... Anybody here played 16-player Capture the Flag??? Super fun. 16 people Yelling and screaming at each other. Can't wait for Halo 2 it's gonna be 100000000 times better. And heres a great Web site for Halo Fans. They have these Hilarious Farce Videos. check them out at : http://www.redvsblue.com

Played it fpr PC, and Xbox, and I think the PC version is far better. I hate FPS controls on consoles. FPS were made to be played on PC's!

Ben :( !!.... I'm a basketball player too... Halo ain't just for nerds though.... but I must admit that if you don't like X-Box its hard to like Halo. But My whole basketball team loves halo... we have little tournaments all the time....

Ok Ok. Why do people constantly think X Box is stupid for their controllers. They have the "s" controller for a long time its been out and it is just like any other systems size of controller. I just don't get it.

I actually like the X-box controller more hten the Gamecube one. GC one is too small for people with big hands, like me.

12-22-2003, 08:04 AM

i don't really have a good reason to buy and Xbox, besides, i can't afford it, and the controllers don't help.... :lol: :lol:

Peanut

12-22-2003, 09:59 AM

The controllers are good. BTW Ben I think it's safe to say that it doesn't matter what kind of games you play. If you play them there's still some nerd in you. :P

not actually in a box, i live in the exile, where you need to be rich to try everything out, like original software, is too hard too find, and when you find it, its EXTREMELY expensive, like counter-strike, over there is like 13$, thats nothing, in here is 5 times that :dead: besides we get very few comics, and tmnt is not one of them....now that i brought i this up, i'm gonna cry :cry: ...................i have played xbox and the little i've played hasn't called my attention
