Best game ever (to date) period. Anyone that tries to say it isn't is probably just bad.
Right, because veterans of Halo like myself don't think it's the best game ever since we're so god awful at it.

the best game ever made is called Halo 2


poor kid, that's as ignorant as you can get
Coming from the guy who thinks whoever doesn't think Halo is the greatest game ever is bad at it, that's ironic.

No in my opinion Halo 2 is a better game.

Nah, Combat Evolved isn't the greatest. It was great to play with my friends and all, and the campaign was awesome. but I actually prefer Halo 2 over Halo: Combat Evolved. I like it better in every aspect, graphics, storyline, and gameplay. Halo 2 was good in enough (in my eyes) that it got me to buy an Xbox, it got me away from the crappy ps2.

Yes, I'm probably one of the only people you will ever see prefer Halo 2's campaign over the first.

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

The best Halo game yes. The best *game* ever. No. That title belongs to Robotron. :)

I don't think Halo is the best game ever. In my opinion, I fell in love with the world Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Well one is that it was the first video game I ever played, but it just has such cool worlds to explore and many foes to fight. But I have to admit that it does get boring finding all the Orbs, Scout Flies, and Power Cells.

Master Kim chill out this is just someone's opinion.... and i think that halo 2 (3 probably haven't played it yet) is better than 1.

That's perfectly alright, just as long as they don't try to beat it over other peoples' heads or else I'll be forced to do the same.

You're still talking about opinions I hope..... :-|


The "BEST" game ever made sounds a little too objective to me. It would require a massive amount of critical analysis. But I will say that Halo: Combat Evolved is the best game ever to ME. It opened my eyes and slapped me round the face. It got me back into gaming, a pastime I didn't indulge in much for much of my teen years.

i agree with one thing...Halo is a very good game...but i have seen a ton of gmes that are better.for Example: Lost Planet,Shadowrun,and all the Splinter Cell games. The reason these games are better is because you are not doing that same thing over and over again. Halo is just a shooting game where all you do is shot and through grenades.

You can bite me if you have a problem with my OPINION!

Halo: Combat Evovled was my favorite game ever, and I've been hooked on Halo ever since.

Now, as I look back on this post, maybe that's what the original question should have been in the first place. Maybe it should have been "Is Halo: Combat Evolved the best game for YOU?" But hey, we wouldn't have made as many people angry at each other if I had did that :D.

AND LET ME REPEAT JUST AGAIN ONE MORE TIME FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T HEARD OR THINK THAT BY SAYING HALO WAS THE BEST GAME EVER THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECT: I DO NOT THINK THAT HALO WAS A PERFECT, FLAWLESS GAME!!!!!! I just had to get that out of my system. *deep breath* No game will ever be 100% perfect. Ever. Period. There will always be people to contest its "perfection". Just as there are people to contest its "greatest game ever" status.

Totally, totally agreed.

good players that know what the -blam!- theyre doing in halo 1 know why this game dominates and is the best game ever.

Halo 1 has aspects that make it UNIQUE even to halo 2 and 3. You control your own spawns and make chess moves with those spawns. You can be a better shot and win the games but you cant outsmart better tatics and you have to use those tatics EVERY MINTUE. camping is a tatic that cant be used the whole game or you suffer horrible deaths 10x. the reason why halo 1 is the best game ever is because it has a gameplay and flow to it that good players enjoy. if you are just starting out, you can still have fun but theres so much depth to the game and you can enjoy the game at a different level and its just completely a different game when youre good at it. no other fps can touch this game, this is why halo 2 sold out before anyone even had a chance to make reviews about it.

So, what you're saying is, Halo 2 only sold out because it was the sequel to Halo.
