To me, it wasn't a good game. I just didn't like the gameplay. But when i say this, all halo fans go crazy and act like i dislike it for bizarre reasons. A 360 is the only console I own. So i do not hate it because of the hype, i am not a cow, and I am not stupid. why must halo fans act like it is impossible to dislike halo?

Likewise, why can't some people just accept that others really like Halo?

Because some ppl are fanboys, and can't accept other opinions. It's not only with halo.

I think the problem stems from people stating their dislike of Halo as factual evidence that the series sucks. Thats all i hear these days: it overrated, one of the worst FPS series' out there, only sells because it gets heavily marketed, only scored well in reviews because of the hype etc etc. I think the real problem is the people who cant accept that they are superb games. I really hate fighting games, yet im not going to call games like SFIV or SC crap. They just dont suit my tastes.

I'm sure everyone has accepted this by now. It's a common fact. Who do you see going around saying "Nobody likes Halo." Rofl nobody. It's the Halo fans that assume that EVERYONE loves it just as much as they do and that it's the best game on the planet just because of it's popularity. It's nothing special to me, if you like it... great. But don't expect me to just because you do.

Bashing=/=Disliking Bashing: "Halo is a terrible and overrated series" Disliking: "I don't like the Halo series very much" Most of the time (in SW), it is bashing.

Well, Halo 3 was outclassed this gen by games like COD4 stealing their marketshare and even GeoW gaining old Halo Fans.

That being said, Halo is fun, but to each their own. It's not really a mindblowing game that invented anything, it's just a standard shooter that has super polish, so enjoy that for what it is! :)

And this is why Halo will always be the king. No matter if it is praise or bashing Halo threads never end. No other FPS game is talked about as much. Heck there probably is no other game talked about as much as Halo on here period. Just shows the power of Halo. The fans love it and the haters are threatened :lol:

Wow, that is a great question. I hate when I say the game is average and I get like 5 people saying it was the best game of all time and that MLG gamers play it. It gets annoying guys...

agreed. i AM a cow, and i don't mind halo. i prefer it over warhawk, but red faction's demo alone can keep me entertained longer than halo. that's just my opinion. and i thought it had problems before i had a console. more problems than i think it has now actually (playing video games enough desensitizes you to stupid crashes, although my ps3 is undoing that =D)

You (anyone) can dislike whatever you so please -- you're entitled to your views; it's when you (anyone) make blind accusations and post an argument which severely lacks a foundation, do this and you (anyone) will surely get a response from me questioning your reasons for distaste.

Lol, way to generalize and entire fanbase. But the Halo nation isn't at all a stranger to this. I really don't mind if a person dislikes Halo, but to see several threads on it at Gamespot a day is pretty annoying. Especially considering the game has been out for nearly two years. People have had plenty of time to ***** and moan, it think it's about time to complain about something that actually matters now/

This is what this whole debate is about.

Nice tongue in cheek attempt and trying to be subtle, but with opinions like this "Halo 3 was out****d this gen by games like such and such...." is simply your opinion but don't try to state is as fact to some major trend "even Geow is gaining old Halo fans" what are you trying to imply?

This is what gets some fans up in arms.

This is systems wars and I expect these kind of threads to appear- just so you understand.

Why can't some people accept the some people really like Halo? They enjoy it for what it is.

This is System Wars so expect these kind of threads to appear from time to time.

regardless, Halo is huge if people like it or not.

there are very few games that get this much attention even after two years from its release and really says alot about the game.

Here's another pointless Halo thread. You could have just said "Why can't (insert game here) fans accept that some people don't like (insert the same game here)?

For the record, Halo is an amazing game that some people don't like. It's no deal. Only care about how you choose to enjoy a video game.

Because instead of just saying "I dislike Halo", people say stuff like it's the worst shooter of all time and has no redeemable qualities. :|

Millions of people bought it and hundreds of thousands still play it online years after is release. As well it got almost universal praise upon it release. Hell I don't like halo that much and even I can say its a good game, just not to my taste.

It might be a general concensus, but its still all opinion

Halo fans accept people disliking it. They do not accept people calling it a "bad game". There's taste, and then there's quality. The two, though correlated, are not one and the same. You can like something that's objectively trash, and you can hate something that's objectively amazing.

Stop talking about it, and it won't get brought up. It's not like the lemmings go around making Halo posts every second. It's 99% of the time some cow, or other Halo naysayer.

I don't own a 360, but always accepted Halo is one of their greatest games. However, all the praise threads and threads like 'Halo is the God of games' really makes ne think it is overrated.

Because, according to halo fans, halo created the FPS genre. therefor any fanboys from previous FPS are non existant because there was no such thing as FPS before halo...even though goldeneye outsold it.

To say that Halo is one of the best series on the 360, yeah I can live with that. I don't, however, like it when people start saying it is the best FPS ever, regardless of platform. Thats just ignorant.

True.

The majority of Halo threads are haters bashing the game.
