Well, I dont think anyone here has played Halo 2 which is why I did not put it in the pole.

And yeah Halo 2 will be bigger.

I've actually only played Halo, but when I buy my laptop I'm for sure getting the Bungie Mac Action Sack with it.

The only people that think Halo is better than the Marathon series are the people that haven't played the Marathon series.

Marathon! Myth comes 2'nd for me.

bah

I'd have to say, even from my Marathon experience, that Halo is way better. The system of shielding, the physics, the perfect blending of grenade, gun, and melee, and that simply amazing AI make Halo the best game period. There's no way that I'll ever play the Marathon trilogy as much as Halo.

Why? Can you possibly argue that Marathon is more fun than Halo? I think Halo's gameplay is about five times better than Marathon's. It's quicker and rewards staying back and using cover. In Marathon, you just blast your way through and mop up the baddies. The AI in Marathon is archaic. It doesn't use any intelligent tactics at all, other than run towards you. You can carry a ton of weapons around with you, and although this is good for real life, in a videogame I like the two gun limit. Marathon is fun, yes. And I will not argue against that for its time, it beats all. But Halo is the same way. For its time, it is so innovative. You can run up to a bad guy guns blazing, melee him, the peg him with a plasma grenade. No moment in Marathon was as fun killing a single Elite on Legendary is in Halo.

Marathon has a totally different feel to it. It's a hell of a lot spookier. Every level of Marathon is like The Flood and 343 GS. Every second you fear death. I like the feel of Halo. If you're carefull, you will live, but if you let down your guard, you die. In Marathon, the only times I died was when I had one slice of shiled left and I knew I was going to die when the next group of enemies saw me. I don't like that feeling. That's why I generally don't play first person shooters, you're limited to a set amount of health and only a few medpacks here and there. So Marathonm with its infinite shield recharges, is a relief compared to most. But in Halo, you can recharge anywhere you want, which makes the gameplay so much more dynamic.

Yeah I haven't played M2 and Mºº, but they would have to be five times better than Marathon to throw the curve their way. Halo pwnes.

What about gnop?!

Ah, Rip Saw, you haven't encountered the fun of dual shotguns! Wait until you play If I Had A Rocket Launcher I'd Make Somebody Pay before you compare gameplay. And anyway, it's way more fun to play Marathon, just because you feel like you're in an SF novel. Halo is Sci-Fi, not SF. And yes, there is a difference.

By the way, Myth is a lot of fun too. It depends on my mood, but I sometimes vote Myth in these things as well, since it's always forgotten. Myth is a helluva lot of fun. I think you'd like it a lot Rip.

I must say that if you got Marathon when it was semi-new then it seemed to break all bariers and therefore was the most awsumest but since I can't get my Aleph-One to work then I can't talk.
Somebody quote this so there'll be like 4 of 5 quotes in one post.

Well During 1994, I had no idea what Marathon was. I know that when Halo came out it was a big -wham! One question I have is, when Marathon came out, how popular was it? I am playing Marathon right now and I cant seem to find whats so special about it. =)
