Anonymous10: it does almost nothing right. the ai is terrible, the weapon selection is bland and unbalanced (in both the single player and muliplayer games) the music is uninispired, the level design is worse than the original doom's, the voice acting is meh, the story line is redicu-stupid, and the general premise is ripped off of starcraft. what does this game do "right" again?
The_J_Man: Pretty much ALL sci-fi games have the same prmise as StarCraft. Humans VS Aliens. And the weapons aren't bland, how many other games allow you to run around with an energy sword? (Except Star Wars.)
Anonymous13: Actually, the general premise is from many influences, not just Starcraft. Alien, Predator, Star Wars, you name it, any game will draw from it. And before Halo(and your precious Starcraft) there was Marathon, which Halo resembles quite a bit, and was made by the same guys. The weapons are effective, and to say the music is "uninspired" when it's some of the best around(anyone will say that, even the haters I know say it's the best thing about the game) is retarded. The AI is quite good, it's not on the level of F.E.A.R or Far Cry, but so few games are. It's a lot more competent than you give it credit for. While I do agree that most of Halo's indoor level designs are about on par with 90s FPS games, the outdoor areas are great, and saves most of the game from sucking. Voice acting is good, for the most part, but then again, why am I supposed to care about some random Marines? Johnson and the Arbiter and the Elites are far better characters than the rest of the cast.
And the "premise" as you put it, also derives from Larry Niven's Ringworld, although that was more about peace than war.
The storyline is good for what it is, but my views have the benefit of also playing all three games and reading the books, so I know where most of the story is at.
Halo's not the best franchise ever, but it gets a lot of undeserved flak in addition to undeserved praise.
And anyone who hates Halo is bound to love Half-Life, the other decent, but terribly overrated FPS franchise.
Anonymous18(16): yeah did any one else get to that place in the dwarf
kingdom were there is that invisible sign that reads something about greatest dwarf tresure
Anonymous24: First off, how the hell is starcraft a rip-off of Warhammer 40K. The only thing they have in common is they are both set in the future.
And for all the poeple complaining about halo being crap. No game is crap, a lot of time and effort is gone into making games. It all comes down to a matter of prefernece. You may think a game is crap when other people may love it. Some games are hoverhyped yes but are not crap in any way shape or form.
And for the record, halo was meant to be a myst style RPG of sorts. Until Microsoft came along.
Anonymous31: how the hell is starcraft a rip of warhammer40k? i will agree that warhammer kicks the shit out of starcraft, but starcraft came out long before warhammer40k: dawn of war did
Anonymous33: that is a stolen image 1: it is from a comic 2: that fox have a pirce on the tung 3: the elite have a tung 4: that image kom from my site *cant say the site it is a secret* 5: the last thing thats is a furry image that i draw ^^ trust me
Krawczyk: The music isn't uninspired, it's downright horrendous.
All you fgts fail, everyone knows Turok was where it was at, up until they fail'd it epicly in Evolution. From then on, it's Timesplitters.
General_Vagueness: 1. while it is a *ring* *world* the physics of the Halo installations and their size are much more in line with Iain M. Banks's Culture books and ultimately a little more feasible because of it
2. all current merchandising is OK'd by Microsoft and doesn't need anyone else's approval, and, well, they're Microsoft
3. as pointed out, the needler is pretty original and I think the overcharge function of the plasma pistol is too
4. I'm pretty sure the music complaints are trolls-- Marty O'Donnell is a freaking genius
Anonymous48: anon 15 half life has a origional story line branching through quantum resonation a plausable love interest cu come on cortanas a load of ones and zeros whereas alyx ingame is all those and has a nice ass halos story consists of the super advanced aliens couldnt beat the flood on a few occasions and so made hitler into a orb and killed everything a bizzillion years on adn the racist humans have no nuclear weapons and are fighting racist alien with a steryotypical black dude and has been americanised to the poit of murder whereas half lifes locations and guns are all origional(well besides the basic you now pistol SMG rocket launcher combo) as wel as the locations meaning you could be overrunning a prison with a army of bugs one second and then fighting H.G wells imagination in a ruined city the next halo is just go here kill the rinse and repeat
Anonymous51(50): Crap some people are so freaking stupid!
The people complaining about how the guns in halo are unbalanced just suck BADLY at the game! And halo wasn't freaking based off starcraft! The marines in starcraft look completely different, the only thing the same is that they are humans. The flood are basically zombies which lots of games have, and the only protoss units that resemble the covenant at all are the zelots/elites!
Anonymous53: covenant are similiar to protoss bu not fucking rip off star craft fans are fucking blind the flood are not zerg any shape or form xel naga killed one planet life forerunners killed all life and unsc are terran dominion unsc is rip off alien and starshiptroopers not rip off no no no
Anonymous54: gordon freeman lose against zerg and protoss covenant the flood and unsc and wh40k gordon fuvking die half life sucksc star craft is ok but halo is better half life 2 i rip off star craft those bugs hahaha
Anonymous67: reading some of the earlier anon comments, people, Starcraft is ripped off 40k, the tabletop game that dawn of war is based off. Warhammer 40,000 came first, Starcraft after that and the Dawn of war. Protoss=Eldar, zerg=tyranids,teraans=space marines.
Anonymous74: aaaahhhhh fucking kill it. get the furfags off the comments and the pic. ow shit i cant see damnit. thats what happens when halo and furry is mixed. testicles turn to grenades that explode when you see crappy art like this. the art itself is put togather well but the concept is lacking a bit. no it lacks concept bigtime.
Anonymous79: Cod is the worst piece of shit on the planet. There is no difference between each games. At least the Halos are good and introduce new shit each game.
Anonymous81: Anon 32: Warhammer 40K is actually a Tabletop game that was founded in 1987 and starcraft was revealed in 1998. Dawn of War is just a game made of a tabletop game.
And Anon 24, Warhammer 40K and starcraft have very much in common, in WH40K you have Space Marines that look just like terran troopers and in WH40K you have tyranids that are almost identical to the zerg. And last but not least the protos, they are like a combination of the Tau and the eldar. And WH40K was made before the Starcraft, so you tell me who is riping off who?
Anonymous83(82): starcraft didnt copy anything but being in the future and three races to play who knows they might have the hybrids be a new race to play.
Anonymous89: Why is everyone arguing over how good a game is on a PORN site. Like be real, if you want to argue about this shit go to a forum or post a thread. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I CAME HERE TO FAP!!!!!!
...fucking furfags...
It's a decent game that's overhyped to the point of insanity, and does pretty much everything right, but nothing spectacular.

most of the weapons are pretty much useless. and they're all standard fps fair (with the exception of the needler)

At least Valve doesn't mill out their games in accordance to the almighty $.
However, if I did see an HEV suit for auction, I would totally buy it.
kingdom were there is that invisible sign that reads something about greatest dwarf tresure
Assuming that every game should be original all the time forever is stupid, and you're stupid for thinking it.
Apparently ass holes haven't evolved to realize this yet.
Halo= FUCK'N AWESOME.
Deal with it or GTFO.
