CAGiversary!
I really wasn't impressed by Halo all that much. It's a mediocre FPS but nothing more. The story line was hardly original, and way over rated. The combat was really bland and straightforward. Sure it looked pretty good but the frame rate issues and MONSTER system specs needed to run it decently was a put off.
Another thing that really turned me off of Halo was Microsoft’s handling of the game. When the independent Bungie was developing it was going to be a PC game with considerably more thought put into it. It was going to have 2 different campaigns. The human campaign was going to fallow several different "space marines" and not this big hulk. The alien campaign was going to be similar in nature to the human one, just with aliens. I can understand changing it a little bit just because but Bungie was forced, when Microsoft bought them out, to fundamentally change the game play. Even with that behind us, the PC halo was supposed to be more like the original idea. Surprise, surprise, the PC version was just another shitty port to PC with little added to keep anyone interested. I remember back when Bungie made good games like ONI, Myth, and the positively ground breaking MARITHON. That is my Bungie. It is a dark day indeed.
