It's sooo overrated. Just an average shooter, nothing special.

What would you consider an above average shooter? Just general curiousity
-
Not Halo, that's for sure.
-
You are basing your point off of nothing if you dont have other shooters to compare it to
-
What makes it an exceptional shooter? What makes it so deserving of all the hype?
-
But to answer your questions, the series helped revolutionize shooters as you would know. The shooter then kept building upon the original formula up until halo 3 (although arguments will be made for reach). It's an enjoyable game among a popular genre with a very large community. So you can assume where the hype comes from.

At the time, Halo was popular because there weren't a whole lot of console shooters with deep plots, and the graphics were good for it's time of release. Since then many more great shooters have hit the scene. Halo's following has mostly to do with the fact that it's fans just haven't moved on to greener pastures, as they say. Halo is a shooter for those who require a shield to remain competitive.

Edited by SpaceDandy: 9/10/2015 12:30:17 PMThe shield increases the skill gap... In CoD, the TTK allows any poorly skilled player to kill a very skilled play within a second or two. You won't see that in a halo game.
-
Shields are for players with slow reaction times who can't figure out they're getting shot at within the first five bullets. Halo is a shooter for players who require a crutch to be even remotely competitive.
-
Not even close to true, but whatever.... I guess twitch shooters take more skill now. Literally hide and seek tag with bullets. Halo emphasizes one v one combat, where you had to use your skill to kill the other one faster than he kills you by maintaining accuracy and precision throughout. You could even start to get attacked by someone, and if you're better you could still come out on top.

Bro you're a joke to the world, I don't gotta take shit from you.

I honestly dont know many other shooters for console that are extremely competitive besides cod and battlefield. Any come to mind for you?

I'm not giving it hype, youre just dodging a question and confusing it with me being a fanboy. I just see you bashing halo with absolutely zero basis as to why. Just saying it's bad and overhyped means nothing when you dont back it up with examples to compare it too or details that would prove why it's bad. You may just not enjoy it, which is perfectly fine! I personally enjoy playing the story than playing the multiplayer. Hardly touched the multiplayer really. But because you dont enjoy it doesnt mean it's actually a terrible game.

Lel he dodged the argument

I don't think people hype Destiny anymore. In fact, there's plenty of cases where people have been ignored in other games just for mentioning Destiny. I know this because whenever it happens they go running to the Destiny subforum to cry about it.
-
Kinda like destiny.
