If you think Halo is overrated, Half Life is the most overrated game ever. The only thing new it basically had was graphics, but like Halo, it wasn't just one thing that made it great, it was the sum of all the things about the game that made it so good.

Thats simple, it was ahead of its time when it was released. A rarity for current games to carry that kind of hefty innovation power under thier belts.
I know it wasn't overrated, but if people think Halo is overrated, then half life is, because they were both just as revolutionary. Half life had the best AI, then Halo beat it, Half Life had the best multiplayer, Halo beats that, Halo was a story driven FPS, check that, all of this on a console.
Halo is so over rated it isent even funny. but i guess it has a reason to be overratted because it was like the first game for x-box and they only made like 3 game in the first year so they needed to brag about something?

Umm no, they had many releases, and I like how you bring your sorry ass in here and say it's overrated with no facts to back yourself up, and have a dumbass thinking process when you say xbox only made 3 games the first year. There was about 40 titles released in 2001, along with Max Payne, Project Gothem, Tony Hawk 3, and many more I don't have the time to name. Not surprised an idiot like you would think it's overrated.

lets calm down now cal...
fact is, Halo created it's own hype. You didn't hear about Halo months before the realse of X-Box, you heard about it once X-Box was released. It got it's "hype" from word of mouth. I've never seen a Halo commercial, I've only heard good things about it from word of mouth.
The only people I've ever heard complain about it is on this site, and most of those people complain because they either have PS2 and are haters...or because they are comparing it to Half Life.
Halo never claimed to be innovative....it just claimed to be a good game. And it is a good game.
what i ment by 3 games, is games that are only for x-box so yes i did have some facts. like tony hawk and max payne those are both for other systems, the only games i say the first year were like munches oddisey and halo and gothom racing

Not true, I heard quite a bit about Halo months before it was released. It was a pretty big deal.
Halo may have never claimed to be innovative, but there are a lot of people that do claim it is. It is a good game, no doubt about it. But it's not worthy of the praise of "best FPS ever" that it often gets.
