I am sick of people comparing other shooters and other xbox games to halo 1 2 and 3. I mean no other game will ever beat the halo series in sales. Most of the people who hate halo 2 either suck at the game or were banned because they were cheating. Does anyone else agree with me?

So the Halo series is better than every other FPS or Xbox game just because it has more sales? =|

And BTW, nice stereotype. I hated Halo 2 on the Xbox because it was dumbed down so Bungie's 6 year old fans could play it.

A six year old on Halo? Isn't this game rated mature : ) First off, there is no six year old who will be able to comprehend the Halo Story (without outside explanation). Granted, its not exactly the most complex story, but then this is the game we all know and love. Also, just because sales were high doesn't mean that the game is the best (Even though in this case it is true). I agree that Halo is easily one of the best FPS on the market, but that doesn't mean it truly is (Even though it really is).

Yeah, people try to complain that it isn't realistic.
They fail to notice that they're talking about a game that HAS FREAKING ALIENS IN IT.

How to compare Halo to other shooters? That's easy. The Halo games are much better. Even than Half-Life...

people complain about the Halo Domination because they can. Believe it or not people like to complain and whine like little girls. I have actually heard people complain about everything from Msoft to NASA to our Government. Its truely amazing how people find the most rediculous things to complain about and unfortunatly we live in a country where we have to let them state there opinion and can't smash our old PS2's over there face.

oh don't get me wrong i don't want a dictatorship (communism I think is the word you where looking for) , but dark allys and private locations don't provide the same safety for people that forums do so you can say what you want here but life is much different.

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

Halo is often regarded as a mediocre shooter by fans of popular PC shooters. But that is balanced out by all of you worshipping it as if it was your god.

There are better shooters than Halo.

Halo is better than many shooters.

Trying to get any more specific will never work because people have opinions. Opinions will pretty much make any decision regarding the greatness games, compared to other games, impossible.

I love halo because of the story line. To me, the online version or the game its self was the easiest i've ever played, its not hard to be good at the game if you ask me.

halo is always gonna be the best coz its so simple yet fun the covenent has to be the best enemy ever and the chief has to be the coolest hero the vehicles kick @$$ and the brilliant multiplayer well just kicks sand in other games faces for not being daring enough to change the gameplay in the sequels.

The ONLY shooter I would dare say rivaled Halo was GoldenEye. Forget about your Half-Life's, Socoms(I knows its 3rd person, shutup), Dooms, Quakes, or anything else. In the Genre of FPS Halo is king. Thats why people say the only Halo killer is the next Halo game.

So sales is the only way to compare games? What about things like gameplay, originallity and teamwork?

Goldeneye on N64 only game worth of comparison to HCE, you actually know what your talking about good job (how sweet was the Assault Rifle). PC shooters arn't even in the discussion, I don't think its even fair to compare a PC to a console. 360 will probably change that but comparing XBOX FPS to PC FPS just isn't a fair comparison. PC's used to be way better then consoles, 360 may change that.

Yeah I know its a bit unfair but comparing Halo to any of them, I still say Halo tops them. I have CS, Half-Life and other Pc shooters and I still have to say the Halo series was and is the best thing for shooters. I'm not saying those arent good because they rock, but I just think Halo has topped em all.
