 Fun for teenagers September 21, 2008
I bought this game for my 13 year old son who played it with his 9 year old cousin all summer long. He loves to go on line or just on the computer and play this game. He plays it every chance he can.
 Halo didn't fulfill my expectations August 10, 2008
I remember the big hype about Halo, when it was released. I would have bought it right away if my machine had fufilled the minimum requirements. Lucky me, I had to wait until now and could get the game for a low price. Here is why:
The graphics are not great. Even for the time Halo was released, the textures are not too detailed and the landscape looks like cut from cardboard. Unreal did almost as well in 1998. The story is good enough with three parties, each stiving to achieve their own goals. Also, the use of vehicles makes the game some fun. But the rather lame and very linear construction of the levels don't live up to the possibilities.
Multiplayer might be great with MODs, otherwise it is just slow and boring.
It was ok for 10 bucks, but I recommend to get something better (e.g. Far Cry, Max Payne).

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.
