Never could get into Halo, personally.

For me, it wasn't so much the multiplayer that drew me in as much as the single player story did. I thought it was well thought out by Bungie (the entire series...not just any single game) and can't wait to see what they do next, even though it won't be in the "Halo" universe.
I have been playing Marathon as well on my Xbox and despite it's aging graphics and dated gameplay, Bungie's story telling truly shines in that one as well.

In my opinion the world could of lived without any of the Halo games. And in another, separate opinion, the world would be much better off without Steam.

I guess technically, the world could have survived without any games at all, but then where would we be now if not on this board if Quake 2 had never existed?
BTW, beat the game on Legendary and it was fairly easy to finish...as long as you don't run headlong into a group of Brutes!!! There is an alternate ending to the game if you complete it on Legendary. I won't spoil anything here and you probably would find it difficult to find a clip of it anywhere since Microsoft loves controlling stuff like this.
For anyone on the boards here that is a fan of the Halo series, you owe it to yourself to finish the game on Legendary and enjoy the alternate ending.
For everyone else...Quake Wars is out for PC.

I just installed Halo 1 like two days ago, which I purchased on ebay this year. well, gotta say it was not all that impressive for me. the setting on a ringworld might be a cool idea as such, but the game does not have the intensity to be really immersive, it felt like "it's just a game" to me. maybe I like it better if I continue playing ... let's see.

Again, Steam has nothing to do with the games themselves. Yes, I know, but it's still ruining the way we play games. By Steam I also mean Valve themselves.

How far are you into the game? And it pains me to say this, but the Xbox provides a better playing version of the game even without online multiplayer in the first game! The story line crafted by Bungie for this game is incredibly deep and I have enjoyed playing the single player more than the multiplayer. Multiplayer on Halo 2 and Halo 3 is prone to team killing, trash talking 12-year olds and if that wasn't enough, these same idiots have mics and you have to listen to their crap until you finally decide to mute them! But I digress...Halo on Xbox is better than the PC version despite the lower resolution. It simply runs better on the Xbox compared to the PC version which really blew my mind!

I rather enjoyed Halo, when I played it, although I don't have an xbox and it was while I was over at a buddies house. The weapons are pretty standard fare, but the combat is still quite enjoyable, and I really liked the styling of the maps. I've never played 2 or 3.. I don't think the movement is comparable to some of the quake based multiplayer games, but movement isn't everything in a shooter, contrary to popular belief.. I played counterstrike for a few years and if nothing else, it taught me that a shooter can be quite difficult, very fun, and sometimes scarily immersive when you are limitted by your character's physics to a more realistic degree and you have to take your time, move carefully and take that one all-important shot, or die instantly as a result of your ineptitude.
