I’ve been playing for the first time a while back. It’s neat, but I think the primary reason people love it so much is that it’s the first popular console FPS that didn’t control horribly and split screen co-op. On it’s own it’s just a decent shooter that no longer feels special.

I thought the halo ce was generally very well received.

So was a whole bunch of other FPS tripe that glorified USian militarism.

Alotta half-life and older shooter fans blame the modern console shooter style on halo.

It is and it’s certainly a better game than HL.
