Why do people like Halo that much?

Halo ❌

Halo is nothing special in my opinion. Me and my friend play the DEMO on multiplayer every now and then.

I agree with BF. Halflife is far superior than the likes of Halo. And so will the sequels when they come out this year

Well Halo 2 is already outselling Half Life 2 by a lot.

Yeah right.

Im still not understanding how you feel halo has revolutionary A.I. ....(im pretty sure they just run around and shoot) and on top of that, you're checking off all of half-life's funfactor --in favor of halo -- all based on your opinion. If you thought half-life was hot trash compared to Halo, then so be it. However, being that the game was supposed to have hit PC before console, I think it gives PC gamers the indisputable right to rant. PC gamers know quality when it comes to first person shooters, as it makes up for more than 80% of thier game libraries. Thus, if you try playing halo on pc, you will notice the quality it lacks compared to such treasures as half-life.

Here you go straight from Gamespy.com:
"Halo also contains some of the best enemy AI ever seen in a videogame, and Bungie would do well to package it up and license it out to other developers. Between the Xbox and PC, I've now played Halo about five times, and rarely do battles play out the same way twice. Sometimes enemies split up, sometimes they stick together. Sometimes they hang back, sometimes they rush. If you try to snipe them, they'll duck for cover. If you try to run them over, they'll jump out of the way. The one constant is that on anything but the lowest difficulty setting, you never feel like you're fighting brainless bots (well, at least not until the Flood, another race of enemies, arrives). Playing through Halo is an engaging mix of straight-ahead action and tactical combat that I'm not sure exists in any other game to date."

Name a game that beats it. Besides this is a review from last year, so it's not like it's from 2001 and doesn't include many new games since then, because it does.

Yeah right.

Dude I'm not kidding, Halo 2 is already the best selling game ever. Ask gamestop if don't think so.

Did I mention that Halo has gotten better reviews than Half Life on most gamesites, including Ign.com and Gamespot.com?

I'm talking about the AI, since you thought the review was outdated, but you were sadly mistaken, it's your opinion if you think Halo sucks, but it's a fact the AI is one of the best ever.

Well Halo got better reviews than Half Life and so will Halo 2, so whatever way you look at it, Halo kicks Half Life's ass.

yes it is my opinion. the AI probably was the best back then. but thats been a few years ago. ut 2004, farcry, doom3,etc. has way better ai then halo.

Leather face knows what he is talking about^^^!

Not with the AI. Halo's AI is better than farcry and Ut2004. Doom 3 does not have very good AI, that's been one of the biggest complaints about the game. The respawing of the enemies is horrible, the AI don't change their attacks at all, so if you played through it once, then another time, they'd react just as they did the first time. Halo is the complete opposite.

well dude i would rather have fun games and ok graphics, yeah it had good graphics but it isnt that fun it's ok! Deffinitly nothin revolutionary or anything like that

Far Cry's A.I. is far better.

Also, where is this info of Halo 2 being the best selling game of all time already? Give me a link to where it says this, because I think it's bullshit. The game is not even released yet.

Yes.
