I knew there was something addictive about this game when I first played it on my freshly opened box 3 years ago. It got better and better the more I played it, and I must have spent 200 hours playing campaign and co-op (no exaggeration), without it getting boring. Then I heard about xbconnect from a friend and was obsessed with that, playing everyday after school, avoiding homework. Now that I have become a fanatic I took to the forums, with nowhere else to go, already having my fill of watching and making halo videos.

But I STILL haven't found out what it is that makes this such a good game, I mean yeah it has the graphics and the weapons and the blood and the plot, but there is something deeper. I don't know what it is but can tell you one thing, I think it has something to do with the other games bungie developed, they were working on the "deep" myst games, and I think that the techniques they used to make that game showed through a little in halo. What do you think is that [i] magical [i] ingredient that so many FPS game developers are missing?

I think it really IS the graphics, controls, gameplay, plot, and multiplayer (co-op and regular multi). Their all perfect. Mowing down aliens is uber fun with a friend playing along side you.

i think what makes halo so magically fun and addictive is the music i mean i just can"t live without halo music and i love the storyline too. music is a way to a gamers heart! strong words from big guns.

It's those damn subliminal messages Bungie keeps putting in their games.
