Did people come on the forums back in 2001 to complain about Halo: CE the way I've seen people complain for Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach?

Marathon takes much more skill than this "Halo" game.

I was lurking here from 2003-2005, and didn't see a whole lot of complaining about this game.

The complaints against the other games are mostly legitimate, considering that they were developed intentionally with "bottleneck" gameplay.

Halo CE didn't get criticized... It was just perfect.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

CE didn't suffer the same level of hate because there was no expectation. It was an RTS game that was turned into an FPS game, originally made for the MAC and brought to the XBOX. It's universal acclaim came more from it legitimizing FPS games on consoles more than it's actual story. Even those who don't care for what Halo's about praised it's gameplay and controls.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I wouldn't imagine so since there was really no point of reference for such complaints. If there was any criticism on the forums (if it was even around in the months after its release), I'd imagine it was mostly constructive.
