Well in my opinion Marathon is better than Halo as well... and there are a few other games made recently or at the same time as Halo that I think beat it as well. BUT...
ForceMorph like a fair few of us finds that Halo doesn't measure up as a Bungie game... due to teh *ahem* takeover it was rushed to completion and left out some of the stuff they wanted and as such is not the game it would have been. Marathon is a game they worked to perfection, however due to teh increase in members based around Halo, the more "oldschool" game fans have kinda been shafted. It is hard to get a good thread going without it being spammed with "I LVOE HALO!! HALO ROX!!!" or needing to dig for it everyday due to all the new Halo based topics landing on top. So to a major degree it is the fancore of Halo that makes us so upset.
So there you have 2 points- We believe Halo isn't the best (and the majority of people, obviously yourself included have difficulty understanding that) and the fancore has spoiled it for us...
The 3rd reason... I remember him saying somehwere that balance was needed in the forums. So he is the counterweight to the Halo madness... He kinda takes everything to the extreme.
What I have just said is also kind of an exageration of sorts though... he's a champ, and it sounds like I'm vilifying him (however that word is spelt). Theres nothing wrong with having an opinion, just provided you don't force it on people... the only fault in that point is when people say things like emptyevergreen "Halo is teh only good game Bungie has ever made!"
It's times like that when alot of us directly oppose people and, to an extent, force opinions back on people. Another guy posted saying Oni was the worst game he'd ever played, and whilest I've never played it, I backed up those who had because saying outrageous things about Bungie games(on a Bungie forum!!!!) just isn't on.
I hope I've made some sense of the matter...

NOTE-
but how can you first of all say that Halo is a bad game, and then say that Marathon is just better
Unlike the majority of people on the forum we don't just state an opinion... we always back it up with facts ;-)
