People like to go one about how halo was sooo unique 100% of the time. Can someone please tell me how it was so different compared to golden eye or perfect dark?
Aliens… That’s about it
Grunts, that is all.
They are amazing and deserve a statue in their honor…well…cowardice i suppose haha.
Shields, Gravity, Vehicles, Gametypes, Plot/Backstory?
Dual Wielding, Forge, Firefight, Abilities and Equipment?
Suicidal Grunts, Shields… other stuff… varies… but there is the main Alien factor.

Perfect dark had duel wielding, gears of war had a horde mode like firefight, vehicles, regenerative health, gravity, and wide open environments were all in star siege and unreal, oh and let’s not forget custom maps in doom, which had a backstory if you read the manual. What was the first game with capture the flag? Unreal tournament? Yea halo was never truly the amazingly unique shooter everybody thinks. Makes you get why halo’s community is looked down upon a lot. Halo is great because it does things that have been done before, just better.

They put it ALL in ONE GAME TITLE!

perfect dark had shields (as a pick up) Gravity (you could fall) Vehicles (hoverbike) had a ton of gametypes with a pile of options. Perfect dark also had aliens in the plot, had dual wielding, forge? naw firefight? if you count the combat simlator with teams stacked humans vs ai then ya, ablities you could pick up gadgets and use them like cloaking and infered and xray, and equipment? A ton of gadgets.

Hard to argue with what brenon said. It’s why Halo 3 was so popular. I didn’t have to buy ten different games just to have a Racing/Zombie/Vehicle/Arena experience. Halo 3 had it.
By gravity I meant “low gravity”.

So what makes COD so good… everything in it was done b4… yet now they make the same thing yr after yr, with few changes and sell millions. Makes you wonder who the real morons are, those that deal with change or the ones that pay for a game that never changes.

Having all of it in one game is no excuse for it being done before. And most games in the 90s had pretty floaty jumping so I would count that.
Halo CE: Revolutionized gaming when it was released bringing in a whole new era of shooters with a different standard. Introduced a unique back story into a game, wide open environments with tons of gaming mechanics now seen in nearly every FPS ever made. The first Halo was unique and such and all the games since have added on to that with new and fun experiences with a gripping story and great multiplayer.

Read the earlier posts. Halo created none of that. Wake up and star paying attention.
The universe.
Halo was the first or one of the first to add regenerating health.
Why do you hate halo so much? If you don’t like it don’t post on the forum

Oh I don’t hate halo, I should have said that in the first post. I love all the halo games, the gameplay is fun and the story is great, but to say its unique is wrong since there were shooters around that we’re doing the same things as halo before it even came out, halo is great because it does all those things the best not because it had a so called identity, but as I said before, halo is my favorite game series. Sorry for the confusion.
actually it was “one of those fps”.
i think it was halo 2 that made it different
Halo has a jump button
When CE came out i completely ignored it… i was too busy playing Half Life and Quake III Arena.
Played it on the recent remake and was absolutely underwhelmed with it. Nothing beats Halo 3’s campaign though (except fallout 3 - but that should not even be classed as a video game lol)
