Halo didn't fulfill my expectations

I remember the big hype about Halo, when it was released. I would have bought it right away if my machine had fufilled the minimum requirements. Lucky me, I had to wait until now and could get the game for a low price. Here is why:
The graphics are not great. Even for the time Halo was released, the textures are not too detailed and the landscape looks like cut from cardboard. Unreal did almost as well in 1998. The story is good enough with three parties, each stiving to achieve their own goals. Also, the use of vehicles makes the game some fun. But the rather lame and very linear construction of the levels don't live up to the possibilities.
Multiplayer might be great with MODs, otherwise it is just slow and boring.
It was ok for 10 bucks, but I recommend to get something better (e.g. Far Cry, Max Payne).

good game

Halo what else can be said that other's have not?

I love the game, not the speed of play, not the FPS, not the graphics, not the other graphics cards of now days but just the game of capture the flag or team sports.

Halo has hit the mark on the spot. The ping response then frame rate the lag...does not matter I adjust and continue to play. The OBJECTIVE of what ever you select it to be is what matters.

I have some who see this game as a pawn ownership (most kills) but that is not any game in Halo,except slayer (don't play that unless you have the game hosted and one the best hardware known to man and also cheat).

The Objective is what matters and so you must achieve that regardless of your ping, or connection. This will mean you must hide, you must run, you jump, you switch weapons, you get better weapons...

That might mean go for the enemies flag, the skull in oddball, the mountain, some differently choose random spot on the map within a crown you just defend for a longer time.

It's about a goal here. Nothing else matters regardless of the splatter of text from others... If you get the job done then the chatter is just noise.

Occasionally excellently repetitive

Great game, very fun to play, play is tight and enjoyable, AI is very good, love the music and the graphics aren't bad.

Unfortunately, in the middle of the game there is a long segment of repetitiveness, and it feels like your just slogging through the same enemies over and over again. If they took out the majority of that part it would be perfect.

Fantastic game

Halo, the game is one of the main reasons the xbox did so well on the console market. All I have ever heard from most of my friends was "halo, halo 2..," so when I finally get my hands on the PC version of the game, I thought that I was going to be in for one of the most extreme and best experiences in game history. That's not really what happened.

Graphics. This game is showing its age, it was made in 2001!

Sound. This sound is amazing, the sound director certainly did his job.

Gameplay. Ahh, well, yes the AI does give you a great experience, it wears off quickly, it's not helped by the fact that the levels are very repetitive. The enemies you fight are either the Covanent or the Flood, that's it, 9 different enemies. Well the gameplay was not everything I was told.

Plot. Great story, nothing more to be said.

Multiplay. Yeah, its fun, but it doesn't live up to my expectations from the 6th best game of all time.

Replay. You may decide to occasionally hop into multiplayer, or play the campaign with a friend, but that is it.

Sorry, Halo fans, but on the PC, halo doesn't really hold up to the high expectation, especially when it was released two years after the xbox version. It would have faired better if it was released at the same time.
On the PC, halo is crushed by opposition like Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, and Medal of Honor. That concludes the review, I am going to go play Unreal Tournament 2004.

Graphics 5/10
Sound 10/10
Gameplay 7/10
Plot 9/10
Multiplay 7/10
Replay 6/10
Stability: On the second to last level I experienced some serious graphical corruption, and after that the game messed up by graphics driver

Overall 6/10 - Passable (Sorry)

watch out

I bought this game because my friend said it was sweet so i gave it a try. i downloaded it on my computer and it worked well but after about a week it woorked for about 10 min then it shut off my computer. if you are going to play halo 1,2or 3 get it for xbox or xbox 360.

Better than the Xbox version...

The title says it all. I think this PC version is better because with a easily found internet mod, Halo can be played entirely in 3rd person view instead of the first person view. I love Halo in the 3rd person view...Halo is a very fun game if you like FPS (or TPS). Has multiplayer and a decent single player campaign. My only discrepencies are that some of the multiplayer maps are very small in size.

Great Game (Not as good as XBox though...sigh.)

Remember back in the day when the PC version of a game was WAYYYY better than any of its console counterparts??? ...well I do and this is NOT a prime example. Although it does have the HALO feel and vibe of the XBox version, it just lacks the controls and awesome imagery. The controls on a keyboard and mouse are a little rigid to play at first and I thought the graphics were kind of "blocky" and not as detailed as the XBox version. As for multiplayer mode....not bad to spend some time, but definitely not as involved nor as fun as....you guess it....the XBox version. All-in-all 7.5/10

Great classic game at a great classic price. The way it should be, wish I would of got on the Halo bandwagon along time ago. This is really a fun game and will go down as we all know as one of greatest games of all time. Live on Master Chief....
