I do not understand the hype and praise this piece of shit got

To this very day almost every FPS uses the control scheme popularized by Halo 1

>>382185163
Watch its E3 trailer, it looks even more boring and generic.

If people are complaining about it, then rightfully so. but it aint me. First time i'm posting.

>>382185163
It was a functional console FPS, that's why. Same reason Goldeneye was so praised and is still looked back on fondly.

>>382186458
>Goideneye

007 is an espionage FPS, It focuses far more on actual objectives and ways to complete them. Halo is literally point A to B shoot everything in sight and watch cutscenes. they are nothing alike.

I fucking love this place some times.

Half-Life couldn't even get basic gameplay right. Anybody who claims that HL's enemies a gunplay are anywhere near the level of Halo's is a fucking mouth-breather.

>>382185163
The level design was repetitive in many areas and was always acknowledged as being poor. At the same time, you obviously just recently played it, given that you can't figure out how people enjoyed it. You could have been 2 years old when it released and be of legal age to post.

Have you ever watched a silent black and white film? It's the same thing. There was a time where those movies were very engaging to the audience. Now, the only people who can really stomach them are the elderly and extreme hipsters. That is natural and to be expected, games have definitely surpassed Halo CE in many ways since.

Halo CE was enjoyed because at the time it was extremely engaging. Gun variation was intuitive and allowed for fun experimentation, and you could approach any group of enemies with any weapon; every weapon had a use. Driving physics were fluid and people loved them, I used to sit on stunt servers for hours straight just fucking with vehicles and trying to blast them to unforeseen heights / outside of the maps. Vehicles were very easy to control at the time because we were adapted to the mechanical standards at the time, which are now seen as very rigid. The blend of mechanics, fluid controls (at the time), high production values (at the time), concise narrative with canon expansive novels, and innovative control scheme for gamepads made it highly engaging. It deserved the praise it got.

Only thing I think you have no right to say is "god awful music". Halo CE's soundtrack is awesome to this day, you faggot. Marty is a musical genius. Also, not liking Cortana is super preferential, not even worth bringing up as a negative. I thought spunky CE Cortana was the best version of her.

>>382191815
tl:dr

>>382185163
Gunplay. Sound design. Music. Visuals. For the time, a strong story with an interesting world.

Most of those things you hype on are legit complaints don't get me wrong, but just controlling the character and shooting were top notch for the time and are still copied today.

These days it's been surpassed by the two games that came after it and maybe one of the spinoffs if you liked them, but it layed the groundwork for an entire generation for a reason.

>>382191815
>musical genius
>Choir vocals with techno and alien WOOO sounds

>>382187429

That was on purpose, right?

>>382192852
And he makes them sound fucking excellent.

Halo isn't that good of a series but the music has always been fantastic, far better than a game about shooting aliens and zombie aliens deserved.

And what the hell is wrong with using the left stick to drive? It's totally fine and not difficult to do at all.

Former Halo fan here. Loved 1 and 2.

>agree on the bad gun variation for the first game
>driving controls are fine, git gud
>the music is fucking great, kill yourself
>Cortana is fine too

The core of the game, the shootings and the enemy IA are great. The character designs are cool. The music is beautiful and exciting. Agree on the backtracking. It's a good game. Best FPS from the era, what else there was? Half Life sucks dick, i've tried to play it, but the beggining is so boring.

Am I a pleb if I don't mind going through the same levels again? It was cool seeing how everything went to shit when the Flood got out, especially in Two Betrayls and Keyes. And coming back to the Pillar seeing it ruined and occupied by 3 enemy factions was cool.

A much bigger problem is the copy-paste rooms which are very boring to go through over and over again.

>>382185163
I bet you think Killzone was amazing, faggot.

Halo CE has the greatest FPS campaign of all time

>>382193613
Keyes and The Maw are cool levels. The Library is awful and both Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals are shit aside from the outside areas.

god i fucking hate halo and Xbox I love sony because le Call of Duty is so much better XDD fuck xbox did you know ps2 still has the most sold consoels ever??

people weirdly overrate the CE AR, it wasn't that good on higher difficulties. did fuck all against Elite shields and was so inaccurate you had to be right up in enemy's faces to use it and their weapons were much more accurate and damaging to you than AR was to them. best it could do for you was pop infection forms pretty well and store lots of ammo (but there were always weapons everywhere so you usually had something better to use in its place)

>>382193883

Literally anything else is better than the Halo CE assault rifle. Even the H2 magnum.

CE aged way better than 2. Replayed them both last year and it's easily a top 10 FPS of all time.

>>382194890
>You are playing as Ratchet in the third person
Um no. Ratcher is the first person. Clank is second. There is no third unless you include later games.

>>382195118
I literally just finished 2 today and I say you're entirely wrong. Original felt like stagnant milk with bad washed out graphics and no direction. I was infinitely mroe impressed with 2, and 2 was far more fun and engaging.

>>382185163
>Gun variation is so minimal

It has more variety than your usual fps since you have to count in the alien weps.
The fact that there's also always weapons scattered arround the ground from your shooting helps you change weapon when you feel like it, nobody forced you.

Nothing wrong with them, pretty standard issue.

>Riffle

Just because its green and flashy doesn't suddenly make it not an existing weapon on the opposing side. its the same exact shit.

Your terrible bait aside, as a Halo fan, I agree, the first Halo game is overrated as fuck and is super tedious and repetitive.

It's not a bad game, but it's flawed, and is surpassed by virtually all it's sequels in most regards.

>>382193883
>but the Assault Rifle was in its absolute best iteration,

Not even close. Arguably better then the H3 one, but the Reach, especially 4, and especially especially 5 AR are all much better.

5's is unquestionably the best. It does the most damage by a huge margin, and is also the most accurate by a huge margin. You can outright pepper people out to far BR ranges, though obviously that's extremely difficult against moving targets.

>>382185163

>>382193883

Pistol and alien rifle are the only guns that you need. Your pistol is a fucking sniper rifle if your aim is good enough, and can two shot juggernauts if you aim for their neck.

It was one of those games you could sit and watch someone play for 2 minutes and immediately know if they were good plus couch co op was amazing.

>>382195307

What I find superior about CE is that the levels are much bigger, have complex design that also feel organic and coherent. I like that the game is about exploring these maps whereas 2 is about short missions packed with action and the level design isn't as interesting. The pace is better in 2, there's a bit of repetition in CE. 2 is overall more polished. Certain games are flawed but have qualities you don't find elsewhere so they become classics (Gothic for instance) and CE is one of them.

Hunters were one shot with the pistol even at Legendary. They got ridiculously easy to kill once you learned how to take them out.

A wooden club may have been good for it's time, but that doesn't mean it's not objectively worse then a gun.

Same concept applies.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Games aren't fucking weapons, anon, they can still be recognized by their merits and what they achieved.

>>382202808
So can anything historically, that doesn't make them not objectively worse then their modern counterparts, often.

>>382202861
Okay? Where did I say that Halo 2 or 3 was worse than CE? I agreed with you, but I also referred you to an earlier post saying that Halo CE was amazing at the time of its release. He's explaining to the chucklefuck that is wondering why a game that's 16 fucking years old doesn't hold up very well today.

It wasn't a total shit console FPS.

I mean look at console FPS games before it. Everything played like shit.

Literally everyone I've ever met has enjoyed halo. The only person I've seen hate it is some PlayStation fanboy who spent like 3 hours trying to convince me how much better killzone is when he came to my house when I was playing halo and offered to let him play.
