With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Its brainwashing you... you have no control. Bungie makes games like that so it'll be easier to take over the world....

And its not only the best multiplayer game for any console ;-)

As you all know, Halo is probably the best multiplayer game for any console. But why is that? With only 13 MP maps, don't you think that it would get boring really quick? After playing single-flag CTF on blood gulch for the past month, I would usually have moved on to a different game. But something about Halo just keeps me coming back for more. I have no idea why.

Just so you have a formal answer, it does not get boring because it is Halo! There's so much to do and so many ways to kill and so many strategies to do. Just make sure you're mouse doesn't stop working in the middle of a game. It really really sucks when that happens.

I'll give a more formal opinion as to what makes Halo good.

1. Storyline
2. Presentation of the Character
3. Mixture of both science fiction and war
4. And the flow of the game.

This is what makes the game great with the twist and turns in the game along with tragedy similar to how System Shock 2, Half Life, Warcraft, Starcraft and all those games made like one of the main character changes into something or dies. Unfortunately (this applies to the PC version only), because Gearbox botched the job of porting the game, they made Halo PC look really bad and is like slap in the face not only for the PC fans but also the Xbox fans, Bungie, and Microsoft. Hope Microsoft doesn't work with them when it comes to Halo 2 if it ever gets ported.

You see, Bungie's implemented this method of hypnosis in Halo that makes you believe that you've just played the best game on the market. It's very addictive, so you just keep going back for more. It's all part of their plan for world domination.

Yeah, and that stuff Euku said.
