A Big No Go.

I have heard quite a bit of hype about Halo this and Halo that. So I got it. And much like several other reviewers on this board, I had graphics difficulty from minute one. My system is pretty good, MS XP, 3.06GHz P4, 1 GB RAM, 128MB Radeon 9800. I run Doom 3 at pretty decent levels as well as Call of Duty and other fairly new games. So there just isn't any excuse for the ridiculously slow graphic performance I got. I don't know if the problem is the game's engineering or what, but I am disappointed.

Crap, pure crap.

This is the worst game I have ever played.

The story makes Stargate Atlatis look like Oscar material. The rest is going forward mindlessly shooting at braindead monsters that dance forward and backwards. ( Like in any House of the Dead game ) nothing else. How this is considered the best game of all times is beyond me.

I've been am avid gamer for nearly two decades now. Of all my purchases, ( that include text-only games ) this is the one that I most regret.

Horrible

I really can't understand why anyone would like this game. Read the other reviews. Even those who give it 5 stars admit that the framerate is bad. I have a 3 gigahertz machine, 1.5 gigs ram and it still runs like garbage. I think the only reason people give it a good review is that they dumped 50 dollars into this junk and don't want to admit their mistake. Stay away from this game. The best fps is still the original UT. More people play that online than the new UT2003. This is much worse than those. Bad, bad, bad.

Fun Fun Fun

I played this on the Xbox when it first came out, and have now decided to buy it for my pc and play it again. Master Chief is a true video game hero, and this is one of the best ever FPS games.

Entertaining game.

It is a fun "first person", shooter game. The graphics are decent and the story line's ok. The game's play time is about 15 - 20 hours.

good game

To all the morons telling us to just shut up & enjoy playing HALO for PC, well we'd like too but guess what, we can't enjoy a crap game that slows down to a 5 fps crawl so shut your pie-holes. Trust me I had been waiting with baited-breath along with everyone else, excited for HALO to come to PC only to have our dreams crushed with shoddy, slow game play. I have a P4 2.4 GHz w/ 512MB ram & a GeForce FX 5600 w/ 256MB & this so called video game slows down to an unplayable C R A W L, even on the lowest video settings & all the eye-candy turned off. This is inexcusable to have them spend so much time developing a game (it was originally going to be a PC game before Microsoft bought out Bungie) & then send this garbage out to the public. I'd like to meet the testers, producers & coders who worked on this game & give them all a swift kick to the nads for allowing this terrible game to get released in this beta form. Shame on anyone involved in the production of this garbage. Thank God I can play HALO on my XBOX & still get some enjoyment.

Great game(if you are a PC to XBox sellout traitor!)

I am not insulting this game, but some of the reviews saying fellow reveiers are "not real reveiws" when, in fact every ones is as this is why most PC games are just ported X-box or PS games when at one time the highest quality of games was PC dominated(and should be again!) The reason this game is not up to par is the dumbed down candy graphics in place of more atmospheric shading(as PCs are capible of) much as the 60's was to movies as opposed to the Tahiti look of the 80's I see PC games have gone down hill as well(as ported console gaming noobs can play 'em) the dumb black guy last night speaking of Gearz Wars or sum such proves it. I think FPS is awsome only if the AI, is just that(Inteligient) and the driving takes place behind the dash, not above it in 3rd person mode. Halo is not a bad game, the rings of the planet are spectaular but in a PC game you can do more atmopshere and less comical lighting(more on the lines of Quake/Doom(ext scenes) less on Far Cry cool island shade "don't worrie be sappy". The interiors are also very sqalid and not realistic as in having a purpose(as in control consoles and view screens and the like) Hell, the bloody space ship you dump from is just a big army truck(in space) what a droll troll de mondain. The team coop(single play) is not there your guys keep getting baffle-gabbed when you order them off the tanks(they don't follow you into the fray). the rover vehicles are cool but the quad steering is just esthetic, no physics involved in the agility of the car.(a PC could do this) it turns as if a 2 wheel steering, not 4. You can tell this by driving up hill or in a dungeon, you get stuck, a quad steering car does not.

I just don't understand you people!

What is wrong with all of you. Halo is the best damn game there is and now it's on the PC, and you all start trashing it. What's wrong here. I have played the Xbox version, and let me tell you, other than the fact that you can do co-op mode, it sucks. The PC version is the better of the two. With the ability to get a higher resolution, it makes the Xbox version look like a party favor. I don't have one of those so called "supercomputers" that everyone thinks runs better than your average non upgraded, non tampered with computer. Let me tell you something gentlemen, these programs that "enhance" your graphics or say they will "enhance" your gaming experience are a bunch of BS!!! They in fact take up so much space in your computer that you can't run even the simplest of programs without slight problems. No wonder Halo doesn't work on your computers, they're all F****d up. Halo is an awesome game for the PC and it is nit-picked at by these kids who call themselves video game experts. Why don't you guys get a job as critics, you'd do very well at it. Other than that, you all disgust me. I thank you for those who can see past the mundane and really distinguish the greater aspects of Halo for the PC. I salute you. OUT!
Bottom Line: Halo kicks a**

Not Cracked Up To What It Claims To Be

After three months of playing this game online You get tired of the people who only do nothing but play this game. Who think they are actually accomplishing something in their lives. Who have practiced hours and hours and belittle those who are new, I can hold my own and have played against some very good players (good as in those who play alot but are there to just have fun and actually help those who are new), but the childishness is hard to stomach and takes all the fun out of the game. They will continuilly boot people off their games using YOUR IP ADDRESS, Which I am not at all happy that these childish morons even have access to it. Microsoft ought to think real hard about letting them know this priveleged personal information. For this I will strongly scutinize any game I buy from them. This game is absolutley useless if you cant play online. The single player game is very boring and repeats levels over and over only with slight variations. I would not recommend this game to anyone unless you like dealing with a bunch of whiney 13 and 14 yearolds , WHO HAVE YOUR IP ADDRESS or bunch of lazy 20 something yearolds who don't have a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Microsoft you are a big loser of a company and ought to get your heads off their high and mighty pedastals and come back to earth!!!!!!!!!
