Okay, some people are going to get really made at this, but I'm tired of only saying it to my students. I want more people to hear this... HALO IS NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK IT IS.

First off, yes, the Halo franchise is fun. Multiplayer aside, it's okay. Again, this is my THEORY/OPINION!

When the first Halo came out for the original XBox, it was the only FPS that was really worth your money. Don't argue with me, it was really the best out there. HOWEVER, not only were there other (at least) equally good FPS' out there, but more came out afterwards. Yes, I have played all of the Halo games. But I have also played other games from other systems.

My point is, Halo is a pretty good game that hit legendary status because it was al that the XBox owners had to play. NOT because it was really that good. For that genre, it was as good as they had it. This is how it went.....

1) Halo is awesome! 2) Halo is the best game on the XBox!!!! 3) Halo is the best game out right now!!!!!111!!!! 4) Halo is the greatest game of all time!!! ROXORS!!! LOL!!!!!

The famous "Hype Machine" created this insane spiral where the game's followers began actaully convincing the general public that the game was bigger that it really was. Think about all of the people that bought the sequels just because, "It's Halo"...

I'm not saying the game sucked. I'm not saying that the hype was hurting any business. I'm just saying that Halo was/is not the greatest thing to ever happen to gaming.

your really thinking too much.......halo is simply a game that did everything right in its genre.. plain and simple. the first halo was revolutionary.. the sequels were follow ups fans wanted......plain and simple.

get over it. and stop thinking too hard. success speaks for its self...dont like it go kick rocks

trying to give gamers all the BASIC EXPECTED features that Microsoft has set the trend for.
listen Halo is done no one cares bout it now and have moved to other things like mass effect or assassins creed or even uncharted plus the shooting game everyone play online is COD4

Meh, I'm already over it. I'm not obsessing over it, even though it might seem like that. It's just a topic that keeps getting brought up in my classes and I felt like putting it out to a bigger audience.

You are right, that the sequels were what people wanted, I'm just mostly talking about the original Halo. People kind of went nuts when that came out. Revolutionary is a term that has been used a little more frequently that I would like, that's all.

The later Halo single player is and was nothing special. The multiplayer was great but i dont know it just got old quick.
