This is like the fourth topic I've read like this. I'm sorry Halo and Resident Evil 2 don't mean anything to some 15 year old faggot but the games were top of the genre when they were released.

Ive completed it recently as well (like half a year ago) I think you didnt miss anything. Bascially everything good the game offers has been picked up and improved in some form in other shooters. I still like the weapons though, even though they made the retarded decision to give you a 2 weapon limit when the weapons are diverse and fun.

Get 8-10 people together and go into a lan game kiddos

>>382065110
Seinfield was never good

I'm actually playing it for the first time right now, Started 3 days ago, I'm in the night sequence with the turrets right now.

Its not great, but I can see why it was well liked. I'm also baffled by how goofy and zany it is. I always pegged Halo as an ultra serious grit and grime FPS that paved the way for all of Gen 7

>>382063582

>Yeah, all those GOTY awards and games produced after Halo calling themselves "the Halo killer" means Halo was definitely not at all a good game.

B8, bad b8 at that.
If a game has to try to 'kill' another game by trying to beat it out in popularity and originality, then its never going to win. Devs seemed to think that if they beat the Halo bar, then they would do well, rather than just trying to make a good game for the sake of making a good game.

>>382067445
Halo was. You don't get a game that wins GOTY awards two years in a row (the PC release won GOTY awards the following year), and garners an insane radio buzz for its sequel and a massive following, in an age where video games were barely sensational blockbuster hits yet and journalists were still just fans writing genuine articles for their magazine readers instead of being pandering shilltards, out of just thin air and marketing alone.

I didn't realize you were talking about single player. Agreed. Overall popularity though, it was a fun few years. When I was with my friends we'd play split screen, when I was home alone I would play 1942. I'm not sure which was more popular, everyone I know played both.

>>382069868
Didn't notice a significant drop in the player base till UT 2003.

>>382069657
I mean, when I think of what Halo did to be really successful, it had a really, really great single-player campaign with some of the best AI not just of its time but really of all time. It had the same campaign, as opposed to a dumbed-down one, for cooperative play. It had a good pace for console shooting, as opposed to Quake or Unreal, which really required M+KB to enjoy. It had good LAN party potential, while I'd rather play Quake 3, Battlefield 1942 isn't really worth it until you get to 20+ people which is sort of "too big for casual LAN" imo. Halo just hits a lot of sweet spots.

>>382063582

The levels are sandboxy enough that you can just fuck around in them with a buddy on a lazy summer day. If you never spent an entire day looking for glitches, trying to get vehicles to go where they weren't supposed to, grenade jumping warthogs around the map, etc with a friend or sibling then it's probably too late.

Reposting:

don't understand people's beef with Cortana's motivations. While Halo 4 and 5 themselves did little in the way of themes to build up what she's doing, there is a bit of it in Halo 4 with the Didact trying to save humanity from itself.

Cortana's known fighting and war most of her life. Now that she's happened upon some knowledge that can possibly bring all the fighting she's known to a stop, she wants to go for it. It's really strongest when Chief pleads with her:

>Come with us. It's not too late to stop this
>Stop? No, John. This is too important to stop.

Because what would John, or the player, have her do if she did? What? She'd either be deactivated, or go back to being the Chief's partner as they bumble from conflict to conflict for the rest of their lives. She sees a way to stop all conflict, and she's fucking going for it. It's completely fine motivation.

>>382067471
It's one of the worst Halo games because it.

>>382069868

Never played flashpoint but Halo was a better overall game than the others. Not even close bruh

>>382065623

Halo 1 has more replayability than any of the others. The only contender could be Reach.

>>382064509
>even though they made the retarded decision to give you a 2 weapon limit
Not a retarded decision at all.

>>382063582
You're either bad or have really bad tastes. Halo 1 is still one of the best games and I can still play it without thinking it's obtusely linear or feeling like I'm playing an on a rail interactive movie, which is generally every game now, to varying degrees. Also, its AI is still fantastic barring a few quirks.

>>382071290
as far as singleplayer goes 3 was better.

I couldn't protect that smile.

>>382071290
>Halo 1 has more replayability than any of the others.
I disagree. The copypasted maps in the latter half of the game are ridiculous.

>>382071197
A quick brush up on the lore shows that the Didact was the man leading the Forerunners against the humans millennia ago. He actively blamed the humans for the war in teh first place. Some things happened to him that I skip over, but imagine waking up and knowing that your sworn enemy is alive and thriving while your race is long gone.

I tired playing it on PC for the first time a few months ago and it just wasn't the same without the xbox-hueg controller rattling like an earthquake wheneveryou shoot something.

It's an older game, so it's slower and less in your face about everything. The most action packed normal level is Assault on the Control Room, and the more packed levels are because of the flood, which is just chaos.

It's a snapshot of what was, and to those who can appreciate it, and those who grew up with it, it's still an amazing experience.

>>382072373
Well no. The humans were at war with the Flood, and they were losing colony after colony to the point where they were pushed into Forerunner territory. The humans then started taking Forerunner territory by force, prompting a war with the Forerunners that the Didact lead. The more I read into this the more it seems that Halo fans are whiny babies regarding Halo 4 and 5.

However I can see why you might find them a bit more bland than in other entries. They are more typical military than the rest of the series but I felt it to be a nice change of pace.

No way. I don't like Halo and it's at best mediocre, but Painkiller is a succession of arenas, kind of like D44M. Level design is not its strength.

The colour palette wasn't as vibrant as previous games but it most certainly wasn't dull. That's also not the only thing that contributes to level design. Reach had some of the greatest mission variation in Halo's history.

This is barely criticism. Pretty much any video game/movie incorporates repetition into its soundtrack/score. Repetition is vital in music.

Too bad every other Bungie Halo game ended up doing it better.

It isn't a twitch shooter for ADD faggots. There is much more strategy and skill than is initially evident. Two weapon slots is what made Halo good. Every enemy has a weakness, so you need to choose your weapons carefully before moving on.

Seinfeld is a comedy of manners. That genre is only funny if you understand the social conventions that they are making fun of.

This post sums it all up, its been years, get over it already. it came out, it was cool, and now its done. the only people working on these mods are a bunch of pricks that have nothing better to do but to continue playing combat evolved and anything in between. I dont know about you, but I would rather play other video games/genres.

Why? What does it change?

Surprisingly quite a bit, more than what 343 did. Entire levels have entirely new sections

I only need Halo, right? Not Halo Custom Edition, I only have the original PC Halo release. I'm good then?

>Why is this game so fucking boring
I think it's just because the level design in some stages gets really samey looking and it feels like you're fighting a lot of the time in the same room you were just in. At least, that was my problem with the game. The A.I. and the gunplay is fantastic, though.

You need Halo custom edition, you can install it using the product key for Halo PC
You also need to install a small tool called Opensauce and preferably the latest update for the game

There are guide on leddit and stuff

It's only enjoyable if you played it when you were a teenager.
