i think its amazing cuz you had a shield, lots of cool weapons,great story and graphics,the gernades were just as easy to access as your gun, and its very fast paced and fun. And it really made you want to go back and beat it on legendary, somthing halo2 didnt.....

you have a good point halo had a great storyline and it made you want to do it over again and again and when itwasnt that hard you could make it next to impossible on legendary in halo 2 its a good storyline but not as amazing as halo halo 2 isnt in my opinion as good for replay value

Because single player drew you in.

And then Multi-player pounced on you, grabbed you by the throat, and refused to let go.

I remember when i beat the game, it got so boring because i thought it was worthless now because i beat it. But then i started playing System Link, then that got me back in the game. Then i started to beat the game on higher difficulty levels until i finally mastered that game.

You could ålay it over and over again and always have new tactics. The weapons and vehicles were great, everything in it was basically a success!

Combat-Wise about a 9 or 10.
Story-wise 5.

We try not to lean on the Shift key here.

I think it was so popular because everything fitted perfectly! Even after playing it for just 10 min most people loved the game already! Just awesome all around.

I think it was because the story line is so great. It grips you and you actually feel like you are trying to save the human race.

I love the game because it's like such a rush. I'll be bored and I will start playing and I will literally go from "i'm bored..." to "-blam!- YOU!!! IT THIS!!! DIE MOTHER -blam!-!!!!!" and thatsorta thing. I have beaten it 3 times over this holiday, and now I want to play multiplayer, but no oneto play multiplayer with. *cries*

Gameplay is why Halo is so good. The fact that your enemies actually have a brain and are strategic on the field makes for very interesting battles. You can replay a board over and over again and the battles are never exactly the same. Something is always different. A game gets boring when you have done everything...seen everything and heard everything that game has to offer. I have played the game everyday for a year and still kept seeing new things. Its hard to get bored of a game when there is something new every time you play. On Legendary, its like a whole different game. You cant run in there and slaughter like you can on easy and normal. Thats get boring quick. No matter how much u play it or how good you are..it is still possible to die on Legendary if u make a careless mistake. And the marines are more vocal often times saying things you haven't heard before.

"Smoke em if ya got em." "Stay down B****."
