Well i havent played the expansion yet, but a bit of the original, its long and the story is good. If u do everything there is to do it takes ages to complete things.

Have u tryed halo multiplayer, well try this wizzard map rockets and 4 people, the results are explossive. Far cry i played once and got bored, its purely graphics no particular good storyline. Halo i'm still playing and its pretty good. Legendary is easy now And have i mentioned that ALL weapons are usefull at one time or the other, thats the good thing about halo, u have to plan how u gonna use em, cause if u dont u might end up with and assault rifle vs an elite, or a needler against a hunter (althogh it does not matter u can melle them to death quite easily)
If u want game play and story line, well i havent seen a game with better at that than never winter nights.

I'm talking about singleplayer gameplay, which Halo fails at. Almost every level is filled with repeititon and as a whole the game is quite boring. Storyline is not the only thing that makes gameplay. Far Cry is not very linear with massive island levels and multiple ways to complete them. The damage system is realistic and constantly keeps you on your toes. On top of all that Far Cry still has quite possibly the greatest AI ever to exist in a game. Never played NWN but I've heard that BG2 is quite superior for whatever reasons.

Sure some of the things are repetitive, but i mean halo came out in 2001, and in some areas the level design is brilliant to say the least, i mean where u first encounter the flood.
Then u got halo 2, where map design is much better, but story sucks, and gameplay is much worse than original halo.
NWN is a story driven game, that is at a particular chapter u have to do something, in the order that u do it and things u accoumplish on the way is up to u. But playing the chapter for the first time is nothing short of brilliant, after a few times it gets repetitive cause u know what to do. There is just so much there that its difficult to eplore it all the first time ur playing. Warriety of items and weapons is also really good.
Anyways in my opinion halo is brilliant, and this being a flaming thread ur suxor for not thinking the same as me lol (no offence )
Whats BG2 anyways?.

I think he meant BF2.

Just because a game is harder doesn't mean it's better. Being in 2001 is no excuse for repeition when you have Marathon (Halo's prequel from 1994) being less repetitive. The place where you first encounter the flood wasn't so great either. Basically, you just go really deep underground and then you get to go all the way back up again. Like I said, I've never played NWN so I won't argue about it. BG2 is Baldur's Gate II, a similar game made by Bioware.

What made it so much better than any other shooter at roughly the same time?

The first two are simply more good-looking and better sounding, and BF2 is just a prime showcase for the need for 25+ buttons/keys, and also a good joystick&throttle. Half Life 2 and Episode 1 are perfect examples of making the most of a graphics/physics engine and making you feel in the game world, and the puzzles are key. I have plenty of fuel for the xbox fire, so let the flames rise higher!!! And let the Halofanatics pic up a good PC game or three and see what real gaming is.

I am getting tired of the FPS alien thing. How many times can game developers beat a dead horse?

Did you enjoy HL2? I thought that the plot got lost with all that they were trying to do. BF2 should be thrown on top of that sucking game fire you are building there. I have never played a game with more crashes. You would think that M$ made it. I can't believe how many people worship that glorified capture the flag game. If I am going to game then I want the game to engage my imagination a bit.

both of your points are also reasons for me to hate these games, but we're not talking about software bugs. Yes BF2 crashes all the time for me, and I hope EA rots in hell, but when it works, the game is engrossing. Half Life 2 didn't run off of a story, but in immersive environments and puzzles, and physics, which made it incredibly real to play. And Far Cry engaged my imagination like no other, with its mysteries, suspenseful story line, and pseudo Jurassic Park themes. Back when the graphics were next-gen, there was no other game that made me run for my life from strange beasts like that one. It did have a cartoonish feel, but it was acceptable for what they were doing.

Halo was one of the best games I've played. The single player sucked? HL2 single player is the one that sucks. All you're doing is shooting cool guns and sqeezing smelly bug-balls so that big bugs will attack things. And the story is going nowhere...HL and HL2 are the most under developed plotted games I've ever seen. (The gravity gun was a plus though) Halo, your leading mariens into death, shooting cool guns, punching and sticking gernades on aliens, while plowing through them in a warthog, all the while being immersed in an actual plot. Beats HL hands down.
I can see why you would own a PC for BF2 and HL2 though. (You should be ashamed of owning one for Far Cry. I'm ashamed to actually own the game. Mutant monkeys???) BF2 is a great game for its intened purpose: to fight other actual people in a stimmulating environment while being able to do anything you want. HL2 was a graphically wonderful game. Although it seemed to go overboard with the "man-on-the-run" feel, it was always nice to see such awkward structures that looked amazing with their environment and the feel of the game.
I'm just saying that Halo had more than HL in the fact that they were both close its just that Halo had/s an actual story. (Halo 2 sucks big donkey d*** though)

Agree about HL2, its a good game, but in single player a lot of the time u just go contineously through the level doing nothing or just shooting, kinda like the library in halo except with nice scenery. The start in HL2 is good but then it just drops off and sorta picks up in the end...sorta...
Halo 1 is contiunuously story driven, probably the only level not so well done are the library. Some other levels are nothing short of brilliant, the maw is great, havent seen a single game which ends in such a great way, prolly one of the funnest parts in the game.
For its time the scenery of halo is really good, especially the ring in the sky. Its just stupid that the desided to srew up the story and gameplay in halo 2, just to have good multiplayer, and even multiplayer missed the smaller maps. There is nothing more funner that rockets in wizzard, i think the longest that anyone ever survived was 30 seconds.
Never particularly liked farcry, scenery is good, but thats the only thing the game is worth, character models are crap, so is the story. mutated monkeys hehe :laugh:.
