1. Most of the game is mind-numbingly easy, but then there is the occasional spot I have to play 62,000,000,000 times to get past. (sometimes I will make it, then start to move on, and something stupid happens, like I fall off a ledge. I have to start over!!!)

2. The marines. They never use cover, they don't watch their fire, they walk right into others' lines of fire, and they don't even think to cover each others' backs.

3. The flood are REALLY annoying!

4. Marines will turn on you even if it was their fault you killed two! (running into your line of fire, being WAY to close to your vehicle, etc.)

5. No bots

6. MC can't walk

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

the marines are just dumb

grenades aren't on timers

the master chief uses a flashlight instead of some advanced night vision

the cheesy guitar solos

I hate how Halo is almost perfect and has caused my grades to drop and for my relationships with people to diminish, (except my halo buddies).


If that's the case you need to unplug your xbox, and get more of a social life....until Halo 2 of course. Or use AIM, lol.

I didn't like it how the marines only fired in short bursts with the AR, and were very un-coordinated and got in the way of my warhog. But they rock at the sniper riflr, especially the Sarge.

I think its the little things that get me annoyed the most. Here they are:
* MC can't walk
* No blood of enemies on your suit
* Flailing arms of flying dead corpses. They still look alive

Some things do bug me quite a bit but I don't care because Halo is generally a great game!

Oh yeah, the plasma pistol's lame too.

Noob. The plasma pistol is definitely the most valuable weapon to have in campaign. For one it disables shields of all kinds completely (most valuable aspect.) It also, especially noticeable with elites, temporarily stuns long enough for you to double melee and stick them with a plasma grenade. Plasma pistol with pistol is generally the best combination of weapons you can get in campaign for anti covenant anyway because of its shield braking properties. Like the gold elite at the end of the first bridge on Assault on the Control Room. I always keep him at a distance (rendering his energy sword useless) and take down his shield first with overcharged plasma pistol then switch to pistol and shoot him once in the head. If you tried to sniper him in the head with an actual sniper rifle without taking his shield down first it would take you three headshots. Also the only weapon for anti jackals (unless they don’t see you and you manage to get a headshot on them.) Normally I have to disable shield first followed by pistol to the head. Next time don’t be such a noob.

No they don't. I would rock with the sniper rifle too if I had unlimited ammo. Sarge sucks he shoots like four shots at a time.

Not bots in Multiplayer. I know it would probably be a little crappy but the thing is, I only have 7 Halo gaming friends and they aren't always available to play. I sometimes feel like kicking a little butt in Blood Gulch or owning someone in Hang 'Em High and its usually when no-ones around. I'm a little bored of campaign so I would've liked to have access to Multiplayer all the time, just using bots when my friends aren't around.

Its called XBConnect you -blam!-ot

I hated MP in general. Maybe it's because I'm the only guy with a 'Box in the neighborhood. Maybe it's because I have only one controller. Maybe it's because I don't own Halo (sad, I know).

You should be murdered. I hope you get in a car accident soon. You know you're going to die of cancer I promise. Get off these forums now you f***ing -blam!-ot! *shaking fist at monitor*

The most hated aspect... I would have to say the over-zealous nature of about 50% of the fan core.

There are far too many people who leap down anybody's thrao when they say anything is better than Halo or applaud another game (including other Bungie games). And they have an annoying habit of jumping in on threads totally unrelated to Halo and saying things like "I OWNZ U ON HALO!" or "Halo rules and you all suck ass"

I am currently being rather polite about it, so I hope you guys take this to heart. Think about how your comments are going to be taken by the less addicted members of the forums.


WTF?! You should be murdered. Halo is the best mother f***ing game ever made! I hope you get attacked by like a wild bear or something. No, you should be nudered! Anyone that speaks this kind of blasphame should not be allowed to have children! I mean really. Get off these forums now you f***ing -blam!-ot! Halo is real and I am the master cheif god damnit!!! What over-zealous nature?

Here are some things that could be improved about Halo:

- it should be for XBox Live!!! It really stinks that it isn't! In order to play more than 4 people, you have to get more XBoxs and TVs which is a very expensive method and not worth it!

- it should have all the special features that the PC version has, like the cool new maps, the fuel rod gun, banshee, shade, etc. More outside maps too.

- there should be computer players available for multiplayer so you can still have fun if there's no one around to play with. You could also have the computer on your team and whatnot, like on Super Smash Bros. Melee.

- I think the story line is great, but the library does get boring after a while. They could make it look a little different on each level. However, I think that it is trying to show you how big and complicated Halo is and how many Flood there are. Assualt on the control room is the same way.

- another thing is that the Flood just appear out of nowhere, like on the library, when you are going through the last little tunnel under the floor, when you are about to walk out, Flood carriers will appear BEHIND you. Now, if you have good timing, you can walk backwards and immediately when you think they are going to appear or when you see a red spot on your motion tracker, run forward going back into the tunnel and you will see Flood carriers just falling out of the ceiling. There's no holes or anything, the ceiling is solid metal or concrete or whatever it's made of, and the flood just fall through it out of nowhere. And this happens several more times before you can get out of the tunnel. There should at least be like a hatch that they come out of or something.

- the flashlight is very inconvenient. You would think that with all this high-tech stuff master chief has, he would at least have night vision instead of a battery flashlight that has to recharge and can only see like 5 feet in front of you. It is an annoyance in the library.

- you should be able to shoot down the covenant dropships. It should be very difficult (like a bunch of rockets), but it should at least be possible, since they can shoot you.

- I know the marines aren't that great, and it has been mentioned plenty of times. But my response to that is that they aren't the ones who are supposed to do all the shooting. YOU are. The marines are there just for the story and to give you a hand. It is also nice to have some friendly guys on your side. On their own, they're helpless though. The only problem with them is that they aren't that smart. Like when you get in a vehicle, somehow they think the best thing to do is surround you so you can't move without running them over. And then they get mad when you do. Another thing is that they have bad aim and the covenant are way better fighters than they are. And to go with the comment about not being smart, on Level 2 "Halo", the dropship will come to pick them up and only like half of them get on before it leaves. How are they supposed to keep up with your warthog? I mean, I feel sorry just leaving them there, I know they are going to die anyway, but...

- My last comment is that once a marine dies, he should stay dead, not that I want him dead, it just is a little strange when you see him die again on the next level. Like Sergent (sp?) Johnson dies on like every level, but then you see him again on the next one. Is he an identical quadruplet or what?

I cant think of anything else and I'm getting tired of typing.

The things that anooy me about halo, let me think,............


1. Marines are stupid ass $#*^!

2. You cannot fly banchees in multiplayer mode,(another reason Halo 2 will kick ass).

3. There aren't enough vehicles in the game. '''' '''' '''' '''' '''' '''' ''' '''

4. The graphics are ok, but they suck. ''''' '''' '''' '''' '''' ''' '''

5. No bots in multiplayer mode, I mean, if your like me you will get bored of playin story mode on legendary over and over, so multiplayer kinda sucks unless theres more then two ppl in the room.

6. No xbox live, that really pisses me off.

7. This is going kinda far but the subtitle "Combat Evolved", thats kinda annoying, it be better off just "Halo".

Only thing I hated was that the needler sucked. It was a great idea (exploding needles) but it didn't fire fast enough.

What do you mean the needler sucks! It's one of the most effective weapons agaisnt elites.

Its not that i hate it, i just find it odd that you can melee someone in the back and they die in one hit, but a blank shot to the head with the pistol doesnt do the same.

also, i duno...



it's because you break their spine...

yea i know, if im gonna use a plasma weapon id prefer the PR but the plasma pistol and the pistol make one of the best comboes,for example charge the Ppistol shoot drain the enemeys shield and shoot them in the head w/ a pistol for an instant kill instead of using 2 shots to drain shield and one shot to kill, yea that combo is much mor amo efective
he staired into the eyes of the chosen,as an exploisen happend he thoght"why are we fighting this war",a flash, then silence
