pro-great game
pro-great graphics
pro-almost same as halo 2
pro-fun party game
pro-assault rifle

con-cant board vehicles (be careful especially if you just played halo 2 because the elites will run you over!)
con-no driving the wraith
con-no locking rockets (damn banshees!)
con- The Library (no...not again...please...)
con-fall damage

overall halo is a good game, worth the money. a must buy if you like halo 2. but ill just say that halo is NOT HALO 2!

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

HALO is the best game ever made. People who dis it dont have xbox and thats all they got to say is that is suckz

But its awsome

I dont see these as cons.... It seems more realistic. Granted there are homing missiles and such but there is nothing like having skill to take out a banshee, hog, or ghost. And the fall damage adds to realisim more than any other aspect. I hated Halo 2 because you could nearly kill someone and they would jump over the edge of any structure just to survive a huge fall. Fall damage makes you think a lot more about your next move...

Yes, Halo by all means!!! I still can't get enough and I've been playing it for 3 years. But, to get the most out of it go to www.xbconnect.com and download their free software. It fools your XBox into thinking you are on a LAN so you can still play Halo online. Tons of fun. I wouldn't still be playing it if it weren't for that. I've got Halo 2, but I went back to Halo 1.

Halo is actually worth more than what you pay for it. If youre paying more than 25 bucks, however, youre getting ripped off.

Its a good game. Unless youre getting an xbx along with it, in which case youre better off waiting for xbx2 (hopefully its backwards-compat) and getting halopc

Halo is a really good game...of course halo2 is better. But Halo is worth the buy if you don't have halo2. Crap face ps2 geeks always dis halo.

How can those be cons? Its a 4 year old game, and lock on rockets,the halo2 library,fall damge all suck. I like halo 2 but i could think of a 100 cons for it. And the only people who dont like halo1 as much, are the people who bought halo2 first, if you had played halo1, and waited years for halo2, you would see how much halo1 is a better game.

I like Halo 1 WAY better then Halo 2. About the cons you say I actually liked fall damage, your opponent cant jump off a 50 foot cliff when they are trying to run away.

Also the no lock on makes it possible to do amazing lead shots with the rocket. I mean in Halo 2 if you want to take down a ghost you just lock on, fire, and wait for the kill message to pop up. But in Halo 1 you need to aim ahead, fire, and pray that your rocket hits. Trust me the latter one is MUCH more satisfying ^_^
