Halo is as popular as it is, basically, because when the Xbox came out it was the only game on the system, and because FPSs/shooters in general were rare other than on the PC at the time.

So basically, if you wanted to play an FPS and not have to spend a couple thousand dollars on a gaming computer, Halo was more or less the only option.

Popularity by necessity and dearth of style, pretty much.

Yuuuuup. Halo 2 and 3 basically sold because of the name. I mean, I can't count how many people have said that Halo 2 is inferior to the first and Halo 3 is really more like Halo 2.5.

If there had been other shooters out at the time, then Halo would have gotten stomped.

its all about Marvel Vs Capcom 2.

Still stumps me as to why people think halo 1 trumps halo 2 😕

Well it shouldn't, cause it does 😛
Then again, I'm a Campaign man, could care less about Multi-Player.

Halo 2 is better than Halo 3 that's for sure.

BS and you know it.

Agreed. 🙂

Thank God we agree about something thumbsup

I was lying.

Halo 2's storyline is better than threes, but Halo 1's was really good as well.

And, about Halo's quality as a game in general, I don't really see what the gripe is. Yeah, it's unoriginal and overrated, but I personally see the gameplay in it as superior to the gameplay in, say, Gears of War and even Call of Duty. Especially 5.

In fact, I'd say that it's one of the msot balanced shooters I have ever played.

Well Call of Duty is very overrated at least.

Have not played enough of Gears, but thought it was fun enough.

Best FPS ever [for single player] = Metroid Prime 3.

It was really more of an adventure game played like a FPS.

Bastard. 😛

Halo 2 had to much going on, as far as campaign as a whole 3>2.

It was fun but the cover system makes the game too easy in story mode, and it's completely useless and unusable aside from ambushing in multiplayer.
Also, some of the gameplay is glitchy, especially in the 2nd one.

To me, Halo 2 is epic in story and not in scale. I still believe 1 is the best, due to the fact that it is so much larger than the rest, its so much more epic.
