Halo Awards!

In the original Goldeneye, you got awards at the end of the multiplayer. Do you think HALO should have this? If so, what awards?

I think a 'bestt camper' award would be sufficient. That, and a 'slap happy' award for the guy who meelees toooooooooo much!

What makes it so bad? Your taste in games maybe?

Horridly low res textures for one thing... and anemic frame rates.

you are foolish! even an good old game on the NES can be fun. You place undue importance on graphics, and technology. You need to focus less on the superficial aspects, and more on the aspects that actually determine the quality of a game, like level design, stroy line, and gmaeplay.

Shoot everything in sight and oocasionally gain an ally= fun fun fun! It appeals to the most basic instincts of human nature.

And besides that, there have been plenty of great games that are based on that concept. Even just that concept minus the whole ally thing! Like Castle Wolfenstein that didn't have the ally, and it changed the industry by introducing the shoot anything that moves GENRE! Emphasis on GENRE! I is kind of hard to argue that a concept is bad, when it is a GENRE! This was successful even in the 2-D format. 3-D is a gift from god! complaining about the graphics is a superficial look at video games. By critiquing the games on such a moot point, you only further reveal your shallow nature.

Halo is a wonderful game; however, the multiplayer is pretty weak when compared to Unreal Tournament or Wolfenstein.

I agree with you partially Busta, it is a wonderful game, and the multiplayer isn't as good as unreal tournament. But it is still quite classic. Maybe its just a regional thing, but evryone I know is always having HALO parties. The multi player isn't the greatest evr, but it is damn close.

Instinct to shoot things with guns - amazing, since firearms were only invented 700 years ago. Now if you said hit things with rocks, that would be different. Do you hit things with rocks in Halo?

I like Simcity2000 myself. Appeals to basic human instinct to build stuff.

It appeals to the basic human instinct of combat. Fighting was a part of daily life for the caveman when gathering food. It is deeply interlocked into the mind of every human, this primal urge to fight, to kill, to defend ones life. Guns were just the natura lprogression of things. Obviously, throwing rocks would make for a pretty lame game, unles it had very well designed levels, and wel thought out gameplay. If you want to get picky though, HALO does have grenades which are like exploding rocks. Realy cool exploding rocks!
