Holy dog shit, am I the only living soul in APForums that is actually a fan of Halo? Or FPS in general? I mean, Halo 3's campaign was mediocre even I admit this, but the MP is just fucking fun, and even after years of being released it has more than 500,000 players daily, it's just FUN and is doing what games should do: BE FUN.
The storytelling is weak in the games, but the universe and timeline are huge and extremely deep, it's not a "save the world from typical aliens" story, if you'd bother to do a LITTLE bit of research.
I'm really one of the only people here that isn't a sheep (hardcore Nintendo fanboy that doesn't buy any other gaming consoles/handhelds besides Nintendo stuff) Not saying all of you are, but there ARE a few.
Oh and to those complaining about Halo being released yearly and stuff, that looks really biased and you don't even think about FF.. I mean, Halo's milked but FF, Mario games, and MG (not as much, though) aren't? Bullshit.
Halo: CE - 2001
Halo 2 - 2004
Halo 3 - 2007
Halo Wars (not done by the main developers, Bungie) - 2009
Halo 3: ODST - 2009 (yes this one was weak but w/e)
Halo Reach - 2010
Yearly? Only 2009-2010. Maybe you people should do a bit more research without even knowing anything about Halo or its games and only decide it's a "generic bland FPS with brown colors" only because of its immense popularity and high ratings when it's one of the most colorful and bright FPS, and I haven't seen ANY FPS that play like Halo. I guess Mario is a generic bland platformer (it's not, I love Mario, but that's the way you people see Halo, when most of you haven't even played it and are quick to judge)
Anyway, enough ranting, I don't HATE games since if you have to hate a videogame, that's just sad, but it's a little annoying seeing all these GH games. Also, FF. I see people saying Halo is the same game all the time, when it's the SAME GENRE. Of course they're gonna be similar since they are the same genre (besides Halo Wars, which really sucked). I could say the exact same about FF since there's like 20 games and most of them are the "same" (I know they're not)
I have no problem with people "hating" Halo or 99% of shooter games, but when they spout out ridiculous crap and biased shit, hell yeah I have a problem.
