Cartoon like but the game is all that matters July 18, 2008

Halo what else can be said that other's have not?
I love the game, not the speed of play, not the FPS, not the graphics, not the other graphics cards of now days but just the game of capture the flag or team sports.
Halo has hit the mark on the spot. The ping response then frame rate the lag...does not matter I adjust and continue to play. The OBJECTIVE of what ever you select it to be is what matters.
I have some who see this game as a pawn ownership (most kills) but that is not any game in Halo,except slayer (don't play that unless you have the game hosted and one the best hardware known to man and also cheat).
The Objective is what matters and so you must achieve that regardless of your ping, or connection. This will mean you must hide, you must run, you jump, you switch weapons, you get better weapons...
That might mean go for the enemies flag, the skull in oddball, the mountain, some differently choose random spot on the map within a crown you just defend for a longer time.
It's about a goal here. Nothing else matters regardless of the splatter of text from others... If you get the job done then the chatter is just noise.
 Occasionally excellently repetitive July 7, 2008

Great game, very fun to play, play is tight and enjoyable, AI is very good, love the music and the graphics aren't bad.
Unfortunately, in the middle of the game there is a long segment of repetitiveness, and it feels like your just slogging through the same enemies over and over again. If they took out the majority of that part it would be perfect.
Fantastic game June 30, 2008

This is a really good game, you can kill aliens all day long and you want more. the multi player mode its just great, tons of fun
Really funny ending in Legend Mode :)
 This is it? We wait for TWO years and this is all you can give us!? June 24, 2008

Halo, the game is one of the main reasons the xbox did so well on the console market. All I have ever heard from most of my friends was "halo, halo 2..," so when I finally get my hands on the PC version of the game, I thought that I was going to be in for one of the most extreme and best experiences in game history. That's not really what happened.
Graphics. This game is showing its age, it was made in 2001!
Sound. This sound is amazing, the sound director certainly did his job.
Gameplay. Ahh, well, yes the AI does give you a great experience, it wears off quickly, it's not helped by the fact that the levels are very repetitive. The enemies you fight are either the Covanent or the Flood, that's it, 9 different enemies. Well the gameplay was not everything I was told.
Plot. Great story, nothing more to be said.
Multiplay. Yeah, its fun, but it doesn't live up to my expectations from the 6th best game of all time.
Replay. You may decide to occasionally hop into multiplayer, or play the campaign with a friend, but that is it.
Sorry, Halo fans, but on the PC, halo doesn't really hold up to the high expectation, especially when it was released two years after the xbox version. It would have faired better if it was released at the same time.
On the PC, halo is crushed by opposition like Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, and Medal of Honor. That concludes the review, I am going to go play Unreal Tournament 2004.
Graphics 5/10
Sound 10/10
Gameplay 7/10
Plot 9/10
Multiplay 7/10
Replay 6/10
Stability: On the second to last level I experienced some serious graphical corruption, and after that the game messed up by graphics driver
Overall 6/10 - Passable (Sorry)
