All this hype about Halo3. I seriously dont get it. I thought the IP was a mediocre FPS to begin with, with rubbish graphics and it has been superseeded by lots of other FPS since.
What is the big deal?

On PC, Halo 1 was a good but fairly bogstandard FPS - Halo 2 was delayed so long that PC users gave up on it, and most of them (us) can't be arsed with it anymore.
On Console, Halo 1 was the first FPS since Goldeneye on the N64 to actually be *any* good. Reason behind that (in my honest opinion) is that it was actually playable on a control pad, while still being fun. Because the console-fanboys loved it so much, hadn't seen anything like it before, it got hyped up ridiculous amounts and its just kinda gone downhill from there.
Halo 2 was much of the same, and thats what they wanted, but they cut it short and left it on a cliffhangar - which I imagine most of Halo 3's hype is due to people wanting to know wtf happens.
At least thats my take on the topic.

I agree. Halo is being hyped because it's one of the only good FPS games available on consoles. To those of us used to PC's, Halo is just another game, and we can't really see the reason behind it.
I admit that I found Halo fun to play though, at least on the first run through. But it's not that great.

Halo 2 is the best selling FPS ever. also take into account that the best selling PC game is still the SIMS with 1x million, whereas there are MANY games on consoles that have sold in excess of 1x million (halo not being one of them BTW): this will tell you that consoles sell more games than PCs do, therefore a high quality shooter, of which halo was the first one on the last generation consoles was a VERY big deal. of course goldeneye was the first, but it was waaaay back in the infancy of FPS gaming.
list of best selling games. check the FPS genre
Apart from that its graphix are fairly standard, agreed. What makes it excellent is its AI, Story, Art direction, gameplay and general setting. Halo 1 was the first shooter to combine an engrossing singleplayer experience with killer AI, vehicles and new gameplay mechanics + grenades and melee, all mapped to different buttons. This gave you excellent control over the avatar. Halo was one of the first games where you had a dynamic combat feel. you against a squad of bad guys and the pew pew flowed dynamically to and fro. also the pew pew was a way of telling the story, not the other way around.
Also it is fast becoming one of the only game franchises next to Mario to supercede itself. Halo food, Halo drink, Halo this, Halo that.
If you look at the Halo 3 prelaunch commercials this is most evident in that Bungie and MS are hitting for a true heroic epic on par with beowulf, oddyseus and band of brothers. It supercedes the pew pew it came from (which is generally better in things like UT and CS) and provides an emotional bond in the game itself. The masterchief is something that people root for intrinsically. It also has a theme song that could be likened to the recognizability and emotion you get from the indy tune, or the starwars theme.
In essence its a combination of a great game coupled with some AAA quality marketing and brand awareness. Also, bungie have Hype generation down to a T.
oh, and yes, I am TEH FANBOYEE!!
edit: also, halo 3 promises what others have BOTCHED to no end. You get to FINISH the fight. Most games always leave openings, and the Matrix failed epically because there was no true end. You wanted neo to wtfbbqpwn everything which was remotely mechanical. it didnt happen. For 2 games the chief has been a kind of semi-believable superman, fighting the odds. in this game you get to take him to the end of it all, in an epic story.
I think I might have lost some fluids during the typing of this post. I really are shameless fanboy.

When Halo launched (xbox) it reached legendary status. Not just in terms of AI but also intensity. when Halo was new it ****ed a giant nigera falls beam of **** all over every other FPS.
Halo 2 was rubbish as it was forced to relase earlier than planned.
Halo 3? Dunno, wont buy the limited edition this time. But I got my hopes up.

Must disagree with you there, Red Faction 1 on PlayStation 2 was leaps and bounds ahead of Halo in both single player and multiplayer modes. Control system was excellent and hassle free as well
Halo was simply an OKish FPS, with excellent marketing.
A big help to that was that it was made by Bungie, who made the immensely awesome Marathon games.

ahh i see now, thanks lads. Tbh i think the generous branding and marketing is going to make ppl want to buy it even out of cuiousity, Im sure theres plenty like me whove never played it cos we have PCs.
But you just cant seem to stop the MS hype machine on Halo3. Theyre making sure everyone knows about it and I wonder what will happen if it bombs out.
The graphics havent moved on much tho have they, taking into consideration how many years have passed since 1,2, and compare them to the likes of Killzone2 on the ps3.

But, it's not halo that makes it more fun, it's the game. The fact that it's halo is irrelevant, it may as well be Hello Kitty Island Adventure (or burnout).
TF2 is more fun anyway - best multiplayer game EVER!

Halo 2 is a brilliant multiplayer game! although i cant speak for hello kitty island adventure, brunout is brilliant too, but i have all the burnouts and the halo games, and when my mates come over, guess which they would rather play? (its halo)
Im not saying its better than PC FPS becuase its not half life cs tf tf2 etc for one are much better in my opinion, but they cant be just picked up and played co op or mutliplayer by four people in the same room with four beers just for fun, you need to set up four computers find a good server explain to your parents why there are piles of electronic equipment covering their expensive table.
Halo 1 multi was fantastic, Halo 2 is fun, its most certainly good compared to a lot of console shooters (PDZ for one was an appauling game).
I think my point is, no im not going to explain it to you as if you were 5, becuase well... it cant be done.

You are missing two very important words in this, with them being ON CONSOLE. And even then, parts of this are debatable.
As far as the story, I'd rather have ringworld.

Yeah. Beer+mates+pizza+All night soul caliber+Brilliant fun too.
I liked goldeneye also and I seem to be the only person who ever enjoyed perfect dark too. I know alot of people that play CS and after 3 months of nagging me they finally talked me into downloading it and I tried it once and never touched it again.
I would like to get into a FPS again since my last time was truly Quake Fortress so maybe I'll give Halo 3 a shot.

As far as the story, I'd rather have ringworld.
yeah, i explained that in the first part of that post 
did you miss that?
barring ringworld, which is a book, not a game, which FPS has a cooler storyline creating an epic, well designed tapestry?
Halflife is rly cool, and certainly in the same league as halo. and thats about it. gears of war story was totally non existent. there are no other FPSes with even a remotely intriguing story, and FPSes sell in the west like ham to a fat kid.
these days you have Bioshock: system shock and others were really cool, but didnt sell nearly as well as UT and doom and stuff, ecuase people back then werent ready for a storydriven FPS. Halo was the first to capitalize on a trend of story within an FPS, and its mulitplayers was unheard of in consoles: i honestly also find that matchmaking is better than browsing endless server and looking at their settings. all you do is push the play button, and you and your team are IN

call of duty's game mechanics are bullcrap: you cant win a firefight, because all the enemies endlessly respawn. If you play it on the hardest setting, all you do to win is run to the next wall, and wait till your squd comes to activate the next 'set'. CoD is built out of a broken mechanic because you cant win by strategy and skill, just by running forward and not getting hit.
It defeats any sense of accomplishment, whereas in halo on legendary you could duke it out with a group of enemies for 15 minutes and finally win, and you felt like you had just actually achieved something. The only place where Halo used CoD tactics was in the library, which was meant to push you along. in CoD thats the entire game.

did you miss that?
barring ringworld, which is a book, not a game, which FPS has a cooler storyline creating an epic, well designed tapestry?
Halflife is rly cool, and certainly in the same league as halo. and thats about it. gears of war story was totally non existent. there are no other FPSes with even a remotely intriguing story, and FPSes sell in the west like ham to a fat kid.
these days you have Bioshock: system shock and others were really cool, but didnt sell nearly as well as UT and doom and stuff, ecuase people back then werent ready for a storydriven FPS. Halo was the first to capitalize on a trend of story within an FPS, and its mulitplayers was unheard of in consoles: i honestly also find that matchmaking is better than browsing endless server and looking at their settings. all you do is push the play button, and you and your team are IN
The way you said it made it seem like you were just talking about sales.
Personally, I think the Half-Life story was much more engaging. I even remember trying in vain to save the scientist at the beginning of Power Up. I don't even think there would be a Halo without Half-Life. And I think Halo's story isn't very notable as far as SciFi stories go.
Frankly, I think the first epoch of FPS games was set by Doom (you can argue Wolfentstein 3D, but the advancements in Doom were Herculean), and then the second Epoch has begun with Half-Life, which we are currently in.
Even comparing it to other computer games, Halo AI was no better than Half-Life. Vehicles and the way they could be used, well that was hardly new.
Just because the game did it all on a console doesn't mean that it was miraculous. It just means a lot more people play console games.

Im not saying halo AI was better than HL, but it was structured in a way that made the fights more rewarding. Also the two weapon mechanic and grenades and melee added a new dimension to the gameplay, which wasnt seen in HL.
I actually do prefer HL story to Halo, but saying that halo didnt do anything for the FPS genre is kind of stupid.

call of duty's game mechanics are bullcrap: you cant win a firefight, because all the enemies endlessly respawn.
I have no idea what you're talking about because the selling point of cod4 is the multiplayer, and endlessly respawning enemies? 90% of games rely on that "bullcrap" mechanic, that's why we call them games--as for not winning a fire fight? just lol
the only revolutionary thing halo did was limiting you on less than 3 weapons in a few classes, a feature thats now a staple of almost every modern fps
Quote:
If you play it on the hardest setting, all you do to win is run to the next wall, and wait till your squd comes to activate the next 'set'. CoD is built out of a broken mechanic because you cant win by strategy and skill, just by running forward and not getting hit.
Again I doubt you've played the beta but given that the majority of guns are full auto and there is bullet penetration through cover, on top the tight maps, other players can easily kill you--you'd be hard pressed to show me any game that either ignores skill or lets you take dozens of hits
Quote:
It defeats any sense of accomplishment, whereas in halo on legendary you could duke it out with a group of enemies for 15 minutes and finally win, and you felt like you had just actually achieved something. The only place where Halo used CoD tactics was in the library, which was meant to push you along. in CoD thats the entire game.
like I said, if you had bothered to even do a cursory look at cod4 you'd know the name of the game is the multiplayer--although I'd argue the CoD franchise has had the most intense and cinematic scripted scenes in the FPS genre. now, 15 minutes for a single group of enemies is the very definition of pointless grinding, from my experience it wasn't difficult to annihilate scores of enemies with just a warthog or banshee.
if I want accomplishment I dont waste my time gunning down brainded npcs but take it to deathmatch.

I played CoD 1 2 and 3, albeit the latter 2 for the achievement points. CoD 2 on the hardest setting was the single most boring grind I ever played in my life.
a warthog and banshee make killing easier, but you dont have em all the time, do you? In CoD you dont even have to kill the enemies, since they respawn endlessly anyhow: all you do is run to the next marker, and youre set. The combat in SP halo didnt feel like a grind because with some tactics you could beat the enemy, which is impossible in CoD, since they endlessly respawn. the point is to run to the next marker, not kill germans. Halo combat had a natural ebb and flow which was an adrenaline rush. Also, when you were done with a covenant squad there would be bullet holes, gore, blast craters EVERYWHERE, so it looked like you actually had a real battle.
The MP in CoD4 might be kind of cool, agreed: especially the part where you lie around in jour death throes with a pistol. shooting through cover has been in since TF1 for petes sake...

I liked Halo One because it was an alright FPS, and it had a back story that I found had great depth, and Bungie hinted at the details, leaving you wondering what else was going on in the background. It was subtle and it was interesting.
Halo 2's story has been driven home with a sledgehammer with no actual subtle hinting at the lore behind the game. The only thing good about it really is the multiplayer.
I doubt Halo 3 is going to have anything like the background lore of the original.

No idea, never liked it.
Played part 1 a bit, but it was too boring to be honest.
It was okay on multiplayer mode but nothing great.
I think the hype is generated mainly by console players and I do find that a bit justified because I don't know any better console multiplayer game of its kind.
/e: Hmm well it was kind of stupid to say that I have no idea and then explain that I have one.

Looking back on it and its various new iterations, it just seems so lacklustre compared to some of the good pc shooters out there.
Im glad that most decent PC magazines could see through the hype and awarded halo 2 a fair score:

You are a n00b if you compare Halo with a crap port. Halo was made for xbox and it plays much better there. Dont blame the game just because you are too cheap to buy a console.

If you would compare those two to games like pokemon and the sims I would agree. in Halo, not so much. Pokemon and the sims are selling hella hella much, doesnt make em good though. Halo = awesome and sells bucketloads: it is the best console shooter by far

So better compared with a Beetles album. Accessible to the masses and quite mainstream, but still pretty good stuff for those of us with more discerning tastes.
Don't get me wrong, I love Halo. I think it's got one of the best backstories for a console game period. Every time a Halo game comes out my friend gets it, and we both sit down and beat it in one sitting on co-op mode. It's fun and relatively challenging without being tedium. *coughRainbowSixcough* I just hate Halo players deep down to the core of my shriveled black heart. They make CS kiddies look cultured and erudite. The one video trailer with the German guy had me laughing until I was crying, b/c it was so spot-on. Who honestly enjoys getting verbally abused by a 12 year old kid who's on the other side of the globe?

Lol, yeah that sux. I always have a nice way around that, once you meet some nasty american kids who keep on going PWNED PWNED PWNED like that guy from office space with the o face, just turn on my Jihad voice and spam the chat with allah-u-ahkbar and other arabspeak stuff. This usually gets the kiddies so riled up, their performance goes to hell. it really is the iWIN button of halo online.

Halo on the other hand tells a story, an exighting story and itr comes with exellent gameplay. To compare the two are massive failure.

Heh, I always liked the silent faceless killer routine. Just continue to butcher them over and over and never say a word, regardless of how much they bait you. CS kiddies go from 0 to "HAXX!!1 HEADSHOT SCRIPT!!111 /kickban" in about 3 minutes.

Halo is ok with some friends, but nothing exceptional. As others pointed out, it was the first fps on a console that didn't suck after a long time. Everybody believed that only pc could provide a good, fun FPS.
Well I still believe it because i'll never get used to an fps with a controller. WASD+mouse forever.

I had more fun with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark and even Duke Nukem 64 than I ever did with any of the Halo's. Trying to make a desperate last stand with your friends in PD against a mix of darkbots and peacebots was FTW. Dukebots on DN 64 had horrible AI and you could only have a limited number of them based on how many human players were playing but once they got some explosive shells you were in a world of hurt.

tribes was very good, but felt too arcadey, like battlefield. Halo has a good balance between arcade and 'realistic' combat. a good dynamic that lends an adrenaline boost to combat: this is mainly formed by the golden triangle of guns, nades and melee.
Tribes was awesome though with all the classes and different gear.

All this hype about Halo3. I seriously dont get it. I thought the IP was a mediocre FPS to begin with, with rubbish graphics and it has been superseeded by lots of other FPS since.
What is the big deal?
5 million frat boys can not be wrong.
There is nothgin worse than a mouth breathing console gamer.
