GREAT GAME. My first bought xbox game (came with xbox) good times, good times     <

[deathx88]

good review
but there are some things i would like to discuss

controls:
i wouldn't say the controls for the game is the BEST, i think its the same as any other game
except on how to say that you like it how R=shoot L=grenade, as far as i know not many games do it like this

graphics:
i was impressed be the graphics by this game.  you usually expect the first batch of games to have low graphics but this sure did make an impression

sound:
i can' agree with the sound of this game, its just like anything else, nothing really special about it
and as for the music, i see what your saying, when the action starts and the musics starts going, it supposivly gets up pumped up

gameplay:
i liked this game when it first came out, but now its boring, i didn't like the 3 hour long levels
but if you play this for the first time you'll think its awesome

i really can't give ratings on this, im agreeing and disagreeing with you and i can't seem to make up my mind but i would give this game
overall: 7.5/10

i think this is a good rating for someone who doesn't even like the game
im trying to look beyond the gameplay, and see the features of this game
i think its unique on how the game was, but as i said for me it gets really boring and there are other games that i would rather play

i would also like to note that i really like the fact that you put screenshots in your review, thats the first time ive seen this on this site
i wish to see more people do this

lol... too many reviews on this game  :lol: ohh well personally I would give halo 8.5 out of 10.... only because Halo 2 will be 10 out of 10  :lol:  :lol: Anyway good review and excellent game!  <

You all are bunch of kiss asses, want me to prove it, THE GAME CAME OUT IN 2001, YEA EVER ONE HURRIED TO THE LAST PART .. lets check the score I hope its not like a 5 or 6.

First off all when Xbox Came out with HALO, GameSpy Tunnel wasn't even available and giving a game suck a high score is ridiculous. HALO is considered a great First PERSON SHOTTER on a console because of the great controls, mostly all FPS games on console arn't as easy to handle as HALO, as far as STORY is concerned, MGS2 had 100 times better, and MGS2 had better production value.  <

Personally I would have knocked a few points off for such repetitive stages. You often feel as though you have been there before or as though you are going round in circles.  <

[Unregistered007]

I guess thats the only game on Xbox thats why people tak about it alot. No kidding Halo 2 will be great but I man SHOOTERS on a CONSOLE ?  <

I personally don't understand why everyone loves halo...

Things they should have fixed in halo:

1: More weapons.  (I like a plethora of weaponry at my disposal, not the same pistol I've had since level 1.  And why is the pistol the most powerful weapon in the game??)

2: Less annoying grunts. (I don't understand the reson behind the systematic slaughter of oompa-loompa look alikes.)

3: Covenant alien language.  (Shouldn't they be speaking their own language instead of english?  You didn't hear British troops shouting German phrases to each other during WW2.)

4: More unique levels.  (The creators apparently went to the "copy and paste" school of level design.  Or maybe the covenant designed their ships to be really boring to make the enemy lose interest half way through the battle.)

5: More enemy types.  ("Well, almost at the end now... oh another grunt... BUT HE'S ORANGE THIS TIME!  That makes him different than the other five hundred.")

6: A reason to play it a second time.  (They could have added some unlockables or something.  After playing it through once I had no reason to ever play it again except for multiplayer.)

From what I've read about halo 2, it's going to be halo 1, but with one or two new guns, a few new monsters, and new copy and paste levels.  Sounds like a winner.  <

You sound like a PS2 gamer to me.  Take a look at my sig.

i rule at halo and those who dare question me will be ruled on by me and my team     <

[mkjones]

obviusly it wont work for everything but it really pisses me off when im playin R63 and start pressin Y to swap weapons  

Also, the graphics are great, Truly they are. For a game so old I still get impressed. I remember people "raving" about the level in Riddik where you have the flashlight on the end of your gun in the dark areas and how "amazing" the effect was. I simply agreed and said how I was "just as amazed" 2 years ago

On a final note the music is so good I would buy the soundtrack if I could find it not many soundtracks evoke this kind of emotion..

I agree its not a perfect game, by far, single player gets boring and its a chore to get through some of the levels. Lack of extra enemys is also one thing that peeved me, but its not as bad as you remember.

However multiplayer rules AND co-op is a great feature.

Your wrong on the no game deserves a 10 out of 10.  You have to take the game as it is and judge it as it comes.  Dont  compare it to other games or your just lessening the exsperiance for yourself.  People are to critical about videogames these days.  I remember when supermario 3 was released and everyone thought it was the greatest game ever even though it was all 8bit pixelized.  Second off i think games should be rated 2 differant ratings  Sinlge player (story)  and multiplayer because in these days there almost like 2 whole differant games.  For single player (story)  I've never played a game more deserving of the 10 out of 10 score wich is my review.  Halo is the only other game that had me intirley immersed and stunned besides the original unreal for the pc.  By the way could someone please try to port that to the xbox?  that would be amazing.  On thee otherhand you have multiplayer wich in my opinion intierly sucked.  
Unbalanced weapons.  I mean come on in real life is a semiautomatic pistol more powerful than an fully automatic assult riffle? Please psst.  And whats up with having no bots? Since there is no real online play feature and you can only have 4 boxes together it would be nice to fill space especially since i hate haveing more than two people sharing a screen at a time 3 is still ok because the first player gets a whole half of a screen but i prefer having a whole screen at all times.  Not all is bad though massive levels and the vehicles kinda even it up with the cheating pistol at times.  So for multiplayer id rate this game  5 out of 10.

I agree 100%.

Well not everyone likes the same type of things.  Maybe you people arn't big fps fans.  Or maybe you started playing fps games ont he pc? See alot of us gamers are console gamers only play a pc game here and there but still we cling to our plastic boxes.  See like me for example i first got introduced to fps games on dreamcast in the form of unreal tournament (what a great game!) and have been hooked ever since.  Maybe your not sci fi fans?  Some people are fasinated with this genre.  So take that into consideration before you Cruely abuse another mans gold mine.  It all goes back to the saying one mans garbage is another mans treasure.

If you dont like halo, im shocked.........   Halo was the first game I played when i got my xbox on Nov 17 01 .....    And the game is amazing .....    There are about 7 guns in the game and pistol is the best ..... Only for some .....  

If ur speed sensativity is 5- 6 u can master the pistol.... If ur speed is 1 - 4 u can master the sniper.......

the speeds above 6 are for going crazy or if u have very stable control on ur weopon  u can have above 6 .......
The game is great, the story mode is great and the graphics are way better than any other 1st person shooting game.....

Story mode is great ... U cant see masterchief and thats what makes u feel like ucontrol him .... It can be anyone udnr the armor and mask ........

any ways....  i use the pistol and I can take anyone on the web with my friend....

u can see me on xbox connect im 1244 RxP   and my friend 1244 RxVG ...
