I recently started playing the halo games again, and im having alot of fun. i've been around these fourms for awhile and i know halo is fairly disliked by alot of people but, i love the series personally.

I thought the overall premise & theme of the game is pretty dumb and over the top but, it was just pure fun. I had a blast playing through the campaign with friends and the spilt screen multiplayer online me and my freinds would always have a good time. It has its own charm as far as gameplay style goes it feels unique when you play it like your not just playing another shooter which made me look past the horrible online community. I was also impressed that the games all feel diffrent the weapons were always changed up and even if you were a pro at one halo you had to start of as a rookie and learn how to play all over again in the next halo.

My main point of all this is i have a lot of respect for bungie as company imo i saw that they had alot of passion in the series they were very active with the community and tried to give them what they wanted. Of course there's a ton of exceptions (i.e.ODST,$$Mappacks,etc)but, thats the kind of company i like. The kind that is actually active with communicating with their fanbase and try's to actually make changes in their games.

I know theirs alot of diffrent views on halo & bungie & i respect/understand why people don't like the game i just wanted to hear what other people think about the halo series and how bungie handled the series? also what were your favorite aspects or/ most hated aspects of the game aswell as which was your favorite or least favorite? I would love to hear diffrent perspectives.

Halo 2 is the best game in the series.

Too bad Bungie's your favorite company because they're not working on it anymoar :P but yes, tremendous respect from me to them, they've brought up an epic legend that I'm sure won't grow old for years and years to come, with H:CeA coming out in a few weeks, Halo 4 coming out next year, and with me still hoping for a second Halo Wars =] Even though Halo Reach was Bungie's last game they did a tremendous job with campaign and multiplayer, with 343 even doing more by listening to us fans. I can't wait to play Halo: Ce!

I recently got into the series with Reach last year and I love the multiplayer. Can't wait for 4 and CE. I'm excited to actually experience it first hand rather than years after my friends this time around

You act like Bungie is wrong for wanting to make money. Why do you think businesses exist?

1: Mapspacks, odst, ect Don't blame bungie for any prices. bungie has no rights to that part. look at ODST bugnie actually wanted to release it as a expansion pack and sell it for $30. BUT Microsoft said no and sold it for full price.

2: I like bungie they are VERY community active unlike most console devs. They be community active for first couple months in release and move on. Bungie stands by there game all the way up to the next .

3: i liked all the halos but reach. I don't like ability's, the Mp feels weird, kinda got old, halo ce be the first i won't be buying. Because they are using reach MP for MP. They should just updated halo 1 engine for online. OR B even took halo 4 engine and used it like a beta for the engine.

And? There hasn't been a game released game that didn't have been saying its overrated. And considering this is the gaming forum on the internet (meaning we are the minority of gamers, which is why online petitions do nothing) you would have seen such a small percentage of people actually saying it sucks.

what is sad is that with games like cod ( no hating dont want to start a pointless fanboy war ) which 80 percent of the main stream play (concoles) has greatly hurt the number of people that play other games i.e. halo reach and gears! i mean these 2 games are great and the multiplayer is just as fun if not more fun then cod but im willing to bet that cod mw1 has more people playing it then halo reach and gears of war 3 put together! and that game is old mann! people need to try other games

I loved the vehicles and single player campaign. MP i didn't like so much. It felt like a horribly slow version of quake 2.

My favorite moment personally was when I brought the 360 and, you know I didn't have the first xbox and hearing how awesome halo was the first game on my 360 was naturally Halo 3. I loved how it was completely new to me. The shooting was fun the story was epic and just everything about Halo 3 was awesome.

343 Studios seems much more inspired, whereas Bungie was definitely creatively drained by the time Reach came along. I am very excited for what 343 has in store for us, and already the Halo 4 concept art has evoked the most promise since Halo 2.

yea whenever i hear the n64 in any convo every one is golden eye this golden eye that.annoying actually

Well just because people are annoying doesn't make a game overrated. The game was revolutionary and deserved the praise it got. That game did more for MP than Halo ever will.
