[QUOTE="sc_ajk29"]Oh and I forgot StarCraft - EXTREMELY overrated.Vax45
You and the people saying Halo is overrated, please at least explain why the game is overrated.
Personally, I thought the first Halo was pretty good. It was put together decent and it had fun gameplay, even though some of the levels constantly looked like the previous one, but that was a problem I could look past. The overall gameplay and performance of Halo was fun; new.
Halo 2 came along and the series started falling apart from here....
- A step in the wrong direction - The split missions between the alien creature (I can't recall what the name of these creatures are) and Master Chief was awful.
- A step in the right direction - introducing the ability to wield two weapons at once.
- Step in the wrong direction - serious downtweaking of the Needle gun and pistol (granted they were a bit overpowered, but they were downtweaked too much, making them not very useful) - it became more of a hassle to use them then it was worth.
- Step in the right direction - improved graphics and the multi-player was just as good, if not better then Halo. But I'm not a Halo Multi-player fan....I didn't play ver much.
- Step in the wrong direction - the story lacked. It feel apart during this sequal and it never recovered.
- Step in the wrong direction - The game play did not improve over the first Halo, in my opinion. The only new differences was the dual wield weapon ability and the ability to intercept enemy vehicles. Other then that, it played exactly the same as Halo.
I didn't play all the way through Halo 3. I made it about 2/3 of the way and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The story was not interesting and the hype behind the Halo series pretty much died with me after my less then stellar welcome into Halo 2. I felt Halo 3 only mirrored Halo 2, aside from not having to play missions as the alien creature. Nothing new was introduced.
I sure am glad that I didn't spend my money on the Halo games (except for Halo on PC; I refuse to purchase Halo 2 on PC). My little brother owns all the Halo games and he feels the same as I do with Halo 3. He's more of a fan of Halo 2 and he and I both really like the original.
Those are the reasons why Halo 2 and 3 are overrated. Halo 1 deserves the good score it got...the other two are rated too high.
