At the risk of people waving torches and pitchforks at me...I never like halo. I've watched people play it several times but I never got into it. Then again, I never got into COD/MW. I'm liking the whole halo universe though. Those designers are pretty much geniuses but seriously, whats so great about them?

It's been called the star wars of our generation for a reason. It originated so many aspects that are standards in fps these days.

Recharging health
Limited weapons (prime/secondary)

That and it singlehandedly made console online play. It's what goldeneye would have been if there was net play back then.

Didn't Counter Strike do that first?

If you are itching to play Halo Reach like me, watch some MLG this weekend. MLG Raleigh starts tomorrow night at 6:30 EST and is streamed the whole weekend on MLG's site for free. It is still Halo 3 and not Reach but these events are so much fun to watch.

Here is a link to their site:

They will also be streaming Starcraft 2 all weekend too if Halo 3 isn't your thing.

Now that is a trailer that gets me amped. Might have to watch Halo Legends again before the game comes out.

Ah good point; good old counterstrike -- my first love. You're absolutely right.

Anyway, as far as consoles Halo was the first.

Reach Beta was different. Very different. ODST was also very different.

"This is shaping up to be the best shooter we've ever played."

I didn't read the article due to campaign spoilers, but that last sentence is a pretty bold claim. Can't wait for Reach!

That's really cool, Reach is gonna be a different game to adapt to (like switching from Halo 2 to 3 was) for all of the pros. So you guys might be able to do fairly well, good luck.

That and existing pros are not eligible for the combine. Hopefully we can make some noise, we all have major level competitive experience. Thank you.

I was thinking, you asked what is so special about halo; a couple things.
The feel / control of the weapons and overall gameplay. Especially in a multiplayer or team setting. The audio/sound, and in particular the music is some of the best in ANY game. Not just a FPS -- I've also found the story to be extremely engaging (great universe).

As long as ppl can accept a halo game with spartans and no master chief, it's a great game. They've added a lot of cool and different elements to multiplayer that really change up halo gameplay.

Technically Noble 6 is a lot like Master Chief by all accounts. You're MC without being named MC, basically.

Basically I'm going to become a bum. Sit at home, grow a beard with milk residue all over it, quit my job, get fired from my job, and look like hell. Sounds fun can't wait!

This is why older players look down on Halo fans.
