I mean no other game will ever beat the halo series in sales


Super Mario Bros. (NES) is the official Guinness Book of World Records record holder for best-selling game, at over 40 million units, although it was sold packaged along with the NES. The Mario series is also the top-selling series, with over 180 million games sold.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Seeing as how I don't have a PC, I can't compare Halo to many great PC shooters. But I still love Halo better than everything else. All these new shooters they keep coming out with are starting to become sad. Perfect Dark Zero really sucked. It was alright at first, but then it just started to get bad. Call of Duty 2 was amazing! The Campaign was really something. [I can't say the same about the multiplayer] But haven't we stormed Omaha beach enough? Now they're coming out with Call of Duty 3!? It looks alright, but we don't need to come out with a new WWII shooter every year, trying to make it better like a sports game. Unless Call of Duty 3 has amazing graphics, has fixed bugs, achievements for multiplayer [not impossible ones], and a lot of cool new features [like boarding a tank, taking someone's gun, which I think I saw in the trailer..] then I might get it. Otherwise, they are just milking one of the world's greatest conflicts. I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
Oh yeah. But the one game I like as much as Halo, is Battlefield 2. It is awesome. Halo is the unrealistic one with shields, and Battlefield 2 is the gateway back to reality where one shot and you're dead. And it looks great on the 360.

He said "NO OTHER GAME WILL EVER BEAT THE HALO SERIES IN SALES".

Same Link.

GameFAQs held a contest for its 10th anniversary ending on November 5, 2005 in which users chose their 10 favorite games and guessed what the overall top 10 games would be. The overall top 100 list, as chosen by the overall userbase of GameFAQs, was revealed at the conclusion of the contest. [13] The top ten were:
Final Fantasy VII
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Chrono Trigger
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Goldeneye 007
Metal Gear Solid
Halo: Combat Evolved
Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy III in North America)

In every popularity contest either Goldeneye64 or PerfectDark64 beats ALL versions of Halo.

yeah I noticed that too, every year there is a new WWII game. and there usually not put together very well. thats the main problem with console games, kids will usually buy anything with a flashy cover and good brand name. that leads to companies milking a product for too long and just slaping the game together as quick as possible to make a buck. great point on the MM not as good as the Campaign. It seems like the Halo franchise is the only company that really gets it, great campaign and great MM.

Battlefield games for PC > thier console counterparts.

Brothers in Arms
Medal of Honor
Call of Duty

None of these suck. They are just the same ideas going in different directions.

I have 78 FPS games between XboX, 360, PS2, PC, PSX.

Sometimes it's fun to play the same kind of game set in a different ERA, or type of Fiction.

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.


i agree very much with this statement. simply because people will always complain about the thing that is large or popular. the halo games are some of the best FPS games ever due to smooth control schemes, high pace gameplay, and something that many FPS lack, a strong story line. is it the undisputed FPS champ? that's a matter of opinion.

I think the Control Scheme is the best FPS has to offer.


Bungie did good with the controls.


If you get the chance and have a game that lets you modify the controller to fit Halo style, you'll notice it makes the game more fluid somehow.
