The first time I ever played Halo 1 it just felt different then any other game. It was weird in a sense. I didn't like the weirdness of it at first and I didn't like it all too much at first. I was bored one day and gave Halo another go. This time on Heroic, this was when I fell in love with the game...but I'm going off topic for what I wanted to ask.
Did anyone else feel like this game felt strange and/or different the first time they played?

Well, mostly when I play a game , I just play it (with exeption of Cardinal Syn and FFX)
But halo was even more different ... It didnt feel like a game , but almost like a movie .

hey ya i was just thinking about that, it almost feLT surreal... like ure inside the game or something, it's really extremely immersive, u really have to credit Marty O' Donnel on the music, easily the best game music EVER, it matches the game perfecctly:) also the environments. it really shows u that to make an amazing game everything has to come together exactly, and Halo really accomplished that. However one bad thing about Halo 2 was thayt everything seemed so much brighterr, more hope. I think one thing that made Halo great was that it reached out and made u feel like the Humans on Halo, tired, exausted, scared, and really set the game's music and environment towards that central theme.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I think it was a combination of the xbox and HALO. I played halo first and was just amazed at how good it was. H2 was nothing new cuzz i have played many other games sice halo

I couldn't stop looking at the grass, I was captivated by the entire game, how engaging it was, how beautiful it looked. It was wow.

Halo 2 was different because I think it was the first next generation shooter (on a 128 bit system) that was really worth playing. Yes there were a lot of James Bond games, and a few other crappy shooters, but Halo was so well constructed that it stuck. We are still playing it today, was is it like 4 years later? And what happened to all of those other new FPS's, nothing, because they generally were not very good, or they had the same style of play that everything else did.
