My uncle recently upgraded his computer, and it seems to be able to run pretty well. I asked if he could play any games on it, and he said it would be able to, but he kind of got burned out on FPS games after playing Doom 1 & 2. They didn't scare him much anymore or some such.

I thought of proposing a well-thought out arguement in favor of Halo, but since I'm lazy, instead I lay the gauntlet (or MJOLNIR glove armor) at your feet.

I'm on his computer now, actually, so, the sooner I see something good, the sooner he'll see something good.

I don't think him being scared is the main selling point, so anything you can think of, really.

??? Your serious?

Well ok, my arguement, Halo pc rules, erm, Halo CE rules, erm, its rules, oh yeah, did I mention? Halo rules. Plus its pretty damn realistic, or at least a great deal more than other games, and its extremely fun with teams. And it never ends with the fun.

Hell yes it is. But mainly only because of the multiplayer (Dont take that serious. That was a joke.)

Well, you can just go to a Halo website and show him some screenshots of it. That's probably the best argument.

Also, multiplayer is free.

If you're looking for a more up-to-date game, go for Half-Life 2. It comes with CounterStrike Source.

If you're into scary, try Doom3, FEAR, or the upcoming BioShock.

lol

It's great because.. it is! It's fun, and has a good community ;D

Your uncle got burned out on Doom 1&2? wow... I played those way back when I was around 5. Ask him if he's played the original Wing Commander on the Commodore! Good Times!

Let's seee.....

Halo isn't your average FPS and it isn't offensive.

And he's not scared of Doom 1 and 2? He hasn't played Doom 3. He would be burnt out on Doom 3 because it ain't scary.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Of course! While your at it, get him Halo CE to make the deal better. Halo MP is great, because its free. Make sure you point him towards good servers, like The Maw and HMC. Make sure he steers clear of the Bungie CTF and Slayer servers, and lets hope he doesnt find team killing enertaining.

Make it simple for you. Go download Halo Trial. Let him play it. He likes it, he buys it. Pretty simple

tell him it's like the tetris of now

  • 07.20.2006 8:00 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

What you should do is, let him play. Tell him about the story, way of playing, Multiplayer fun, custom games, and don't forget to back away from those servers with the annoying, pervert, stupid, etc.) people just for him not to get offended. And let's not forget the memorable Campaign. Let him play the game as I said up there. And when you let him play, don't interrupt him with those "I'll help you" excuses that work for letting you play. :P
Try to show him how to make his own games too. I guess that's about it.

Or simply show him all of the responses here at the forum. :D

Show the rating it got on GameSpot (9.0!!!!!!!!!). Send him to http://www.klanwars.com and have him look at all the competition and how active the game is. Have him read the 3 books (if you're really into this). Um, that's all I can think of for now.

It's halo, err Halo, it needs no reason. It has no time for reason. You play it, you love it, you live it.

CE is cool too. Download it, you will enjoy it.
