you people miss the point of games, and esspecially the first 3 installments to the halo franchise. Halo INVENTED the first person shooter franchise we know today. from the complex story to the somewhat helpful Ally human ai. and everyone talking about the "bad ai" dont forget the age of this game. its a decade old. this game was about bringing us together, in our homes, connecting four xbox's toghether and having fun, not about trolling others because you think halo is better or half life is, its not about who's the best but about the connection with other gamers. so what you like the chief more? or gordon?
I don't believe in the statement "Halo INVENTED the first person shooter franchise we know today." I believe if go back father you will find HL1, and 007 Goldeneye. but that is just my personal opinion.
Nope, Doom did.
um dude it was wolfiestine 3d of doom bro
Halo is great but I like half life more than halo.
Oh and don't forget that halo also saved the Xbox.
Yeah Half-life rules!
Won over 50 publication awards
Half-life Has better AI than Half-life 2
because soldiers flank and take cover,communicate with each other. Barney can be modified to equip other weapons or code his AI.
Halo is good but half-life is great.
.
Quake is the very first ==> First Person Shooter
Search Google..
They don't communicate with each other at all, they merely say something and that's all.
Also Quake isn't the first First Person Shooter, Wolf 3D is and Doom was the second.
AND... Halo does exactly what you mean by "communicate".
There's no way to impove upon the ugly dot 3 bump mapping in this game, it's quite a shame really.
got some of my map posted if any of you want to see.
