No, it aggrivates me when people dislike/do not recognize a game solely for reasons that I won't go into on a public forum.

as i said. it leads the way for console FPS games. but its only towards the middle of the pack for PC. and i didnt say most people didn tlike it. i said i doubt its anywhere near 90% love the game to death like you.
And I disagree, for the exact reasons I stated in my earlier post. And IMO, comparing PC to console is like comparing a squirrel to an asteroid. Its two completely different experiences, and I'm more of a PC gamer than a console gamer. (currently obsessed with Rome: Total War)

And who said anything about level design? lol all i said was i found it to be an AVERAGE GAME.
I was referring to earlier posts that you have made, and the fact that most "Halo haters" use that as their biggest complaint about the game so that they have something they can harp on. As for it being an average game, from the storyline to the gameplay mechanics to the presentation there is nothing average about Halo even on the PC. The "average" PC FPS is as follows: Run around, pick up ammo for the 1,859 weapons you can carry all at once, shoot crap, follow virtually no story, and get frustrrated to no end due to the majority of the game being purely fast twitch... THAT is the average PC FPS. Now are there exceptions to that rule? Of course there are, like Half-Life. DOOM 3 (just for the story), Clive Barker's Undying and Halo. Once again, calling Halo "average", even on the the PC is inaccurate.

hype up halo all you want, just know theres a lot more people that didnt find it anything special then you like to believe.
I don't know that. Everyone I have personally talked to who has played the game, every review I have ever read and the millions of fans out there that love the game and have puchased a console just to play the game don't know that either.

Just give credit where credit is due, thats all I ask, and thats something you've never been able to do with Halo. Just remember that being hypercritical of a game universally recognized for excellence does not make your opinion any more valid.

And with that I've said everything on this topic that I intend.

i've given it much credit, besides my opinion, i was never attacking the game at all. I said its the leader amoung console FPS games, i think thats giving it plenty of credit.

And i dont disrespect yours or anyone elses opinion in liking it. We hang and talk to different groups. i only know a couple people that truly like it besies this forum.

my original answer was people make a big deal over it because they like it and thats the only reason they need.

the only point we dissagreed on from the original post is that i certainly dont feel 90% of the gaming world loves the game.
