blame Microsoft for making it behind the curve in terms of gameplay. they bought bungie just before the first was due for release and changed a lot about it. pc players were going mental at E3 in 1999 over it and then they changed everything so it worked on the xbox.
its not a bad game but there have always been better
As far as I was concerned, the first HALO was ground breaking. They introduced a lot of FPS standards such as a separate button for grenades (as opposed to a selectable weapon), multi person vehicle in a co-op single player (as far as I know). The Shield buffer but finite health way a lot of games run things now (like planetside). Then ofc MS bought bungie and HALO 2 was just a slightly updated version with no real new feature.
Always had a lot of respect for the first HALO (which I actually took the time to complete on the most difficult setting which took a bit of dedication towards the end).
And to finish off my post, I need some sort of negative comment.
“the newest versions of HALO on gay consoles can suck my dick”.
There we go.
