1) Realism doesnt just take place in gravity. Everyone says how balanced the guns are. Since when in real life are guns balanced? Never. Id sooner use a 12 gage to blow down some people than a pistol, why? More damage over a wider area. And then theres the driving, the sliding effects arent exactly realistic, especially in a warthog, which Im assuming was made for offroad driving, and yet will spin out faster than my mom when she's drunk. Oh yeah, and suit weighing half a ton = harder to jump. But maybe thats just my physics class taking over.

2) Its not the greatest game ever. NOT. Im not stating an opinion, Im stating a fact.

3) So what if it sold? That hardly means it saved ANYTHING. Especially considering the lack of sales of the Xbox anywhere but the US, and the lack of profit coming in for Microsoft. But maybe Im crazy, maybe losing billions is a GOOD thing. Im obviously out of the loop.

4)

Plus Halo itself was not completely original, but the story line, character design, and other things such as recharging shield and what not were. Though they borrowed from other sources, they are still more or less original. Nothing can be completely original, all must have some point of insperation and as such will have some similarity.

The story line resembles every Gundam movie/show known to man. Giant colony can destroy the world and one man in a robosuit has to stop it. Whoopdie doo. Recharging shield? Original? More like ridiculous. It makes it even more unrealistic. I mean a shield, on top of a half ton of armor? Common, seriously. And no, nothing can truly be original, but theres a difference between that and blatantly ripping from sources. Its like the Lion King. I mean seriously.

What have you shown to be a pro about Halo other than sales and fun factor? Nothing. And I dont even find it that fun. The multi games are unimaginative and the weapons lack quality and quantity. Theres just something about playing 4x4 Goldeneye, searching your ass off for a proximity mine so you can kill a bunch of people before someone snipes you off or drags you into your own trap or something. Theres something more exciting about having a goal, something to go after. Halo has nothing like that. Your "balanced" weapons just create a goal-less game that requires little skill.

It bores me, really.
