What will become of Halo when Halo 2 ships? And what will become of the Halo saga when the future of gaming blows away even these great games? .....will there be another game better than Halo 1-2 that makes our beloved games look like a joke?

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

For the masses yes.... in the future... probablyh in like 5 years... there will be a game series that blows Halo out of the water.... do you remeber some past great games???? I do.... some of those who TRUELY loved the games of the past still play them and remeber them... only those who are fickle at heart and who are easily swayed by graphics forget the old favs.... The Orginial Doom.... GoldenEye..... A Link to The Past..... Super Mario Bros. ..... Contra...... these are just a few of the great games of the past hearlded as "The Best Game Ever!" ...... only a few people really remember... and even fewer play them still...

Now if you'll excuse me.... I'm gonna go play some TMHT: Hyper Stone on my Sega... then play some Link to the Past on my SNES...... Always remember what brought us to where we are.... w/o these games... we would have nothing....

I know it will happen, I just wanted to see people's reactions. What you said about Doom is correct, but I wonder why Doom 3 is not recieving as much attention as maybe it should. Well, because of H2. I know this forum is about Halo, but are there any good forums about Doom 3 that anyone knows of? I know I can search for one, just curious if there are any specific referrals you may have.

I know I didn't mention those... I also didn't mention such games like Defender, Joust and Space Invaders... I was trying to focuse on console games.... yet these are all good ones... my point was to show how people tend to forget the old greats when a new flashy game comes out...

Brute was the most highly anticipated game ever, (except 4 Halo 2 now,) it just didnt live up to expectations

Brute Force was often compared to Halo, but in the end got dubbed the "anti-Halo." such a horrible game....

Indeed, we ALL have worries about the fame and glory to be wrought by Halo 2, but all good things MUST come to an end SOMETIME. We'll just have to live it up while we can.

Besides.....Halo 2 will NOT remain the most anticipated game ever, for we all know there's going to be a third installment.

BTW, i had Phantasy Star on the Sega Master system. I was like 8 when i first played it....all i remember is the floating eyeball in the tunnel.

lol! thanks for reminding me about Phantasy Star! (IV is the best one)

legends for games have been quickly getting replaced with newer and better games. like halo. before halo, my little cousin couldn't shut up about golden eye, and now that he's played halo, he hasn't touched his N64 since. (he's only played it with my cousin. it would be a bit tough to run halo on a PS2)

my personal favorites were the monkey island series (i doubt anyone here even knows what i'm talking about), the old descent series (again, who knows what i'm talking about), tetris, etc. those are just a few of my classic favorites! my list goes on for a while, and i don't want to bore anyone with games they've probably never even heard of. carry on!

It's not only the legendary games that fade, it's also legendary consoles entirely. Example: Dreamcast (which imo was a great machine, perhaps not legendary but still...), I (nearly) forgot 'bout it when XBoX and gamecube came out. (I specifically say those two consoles cuz DC coexisted with Ps2 for a while and therefor wasn't forgotten because of that console's release)

  • 05.25.2004 7:04 AM PDT

Halo will never look like a joke (just look at Half-Life), but it's bound to be bettered.

i will always remember halo and years from now i'll dust off the ol xbox and show its greatness to my grandkids so it will always be in the hearts of children for generations.
every good game that i psycologically rate 90%+ i note down as to never remember them, not that i have but its plans for old age.
by the way i do know what your talking about when you say monkey island games, i have all of them.

i think that even if there is a game that blows halo out of the water, all of the true halo fans will still fight for halo players everywhere and stand up against anyone that says it sucks ass but as far as i am concerned, halo will never be cerpassed by any game. so for all u people out there that stand against me, ill see you out on the battle field.

People will still play Halo 1 after the buzz and high of Halo 2 wears off, if for nothing else it would be to play some of their old favorite multiplayer levels. However, if our pals at Bungie do include the fans top 3-5 levels from Halo 1 (that would ROCK!), then it might just be goodbye to the awesome first adventure of Spartan-117.

  • 05.27.2004 9:17 AM PDT

I'd say if they come out with a Halo 4, it would most likely be a virtual reality game, with weapons you actually pick up and stuff :-D

People have said that about Halo, but its been 3 years and no one has yet to top it. Its likely only Bungie will be able to top their own creation.
