HALO anyone?

Jennifer Doyle · Post by **Jennifer Doyle** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 10:59 am

My brother recently bought an X-Box and Halo (not Halo 2). We have stayed up Friday and Saturday nights until 11:00 or 12:00 playing the cooperative missions. I've dreamed about Halo two nights in a row. Last night I was up until 1:00 with my youth group at a Halo 2 party. I can't eat, I can't sleep. I need Halo 2.

My thumbs and fingers twitch during my off time.

Please say I am not alone!

P.S. The option : "most fun you're allowed to have with your clothes on" is something my journalism teacher says about journalism...just thought it was humorous.

I will destroy all Halo, in the name of Samus Araaaaan! ATTACK!
(Metroid: o_o; squeh?)

It's a fairly nifty game from what I've seen of it, but still overrated...

As much of a gamer as I am, Halo never did anything for me

. Though I hate playing first person shooters on console's to begin with, so that has something to do with it.

Over-rated and boring. I'm never much for FPS but there are quite a few I enjoy more than this one...

I love that last option, btw.

There are some FPS I love, but overall, it's not my favorite genre. I loved Goldeneye for the N64 though (who didn't?) and that is the only FPS I ever enjoyed on a console. As far as recently goes, Far Cry and Half Life 2 were both excellent on the PC... but I don't mean to hijack this Halo thread

Trust me, you're not alone.

That sounds exactly like me when I was first exposed to Halo. On multiple occassions I stayed up all night playing it with friends, not rising until 2 pm the next day. This may sound crazy and obssessive to some out there, but I have to say - the most fun gaming in the world happens between 2 and 5 am. I bought an Xbox when Halo 2 came out just so I could play it on Xbox live. I have no regrets. Halo is truly the man of all FPS. Not that there aren't other good ones out there... Half life in particular is brilliantly produced. I personally though, find Halo 2 to be the most genuinely fun FPS I've ever played.

About your thumbs twitching... I remember after my second overnighter, for the next week after that, any time I closed my eyes I could literally play Halo, crystal clear in my mind. I couldn't get the game out of my head! I'll admit, that was a bit obsessive, but I don't have enough time in my life anymore for a video game to take over.

Overrated...my Halo geek friends say that it's the best thing that ever happened to them...ha.

I thought I already posted here. I guess not.

Although I wouldn't consider myself hooked to Halo, I did originally own Halo (a few months after it came out). I currently own Halo 2 (purchased in January '05), but haven't played it in several months.

Come to think of it, I still haven't even beaten the campaign mode.

Yeah, I was going to say. Various other things have taken precedence over Halo for the moment.

We should ban you for even thinking that there's such a thing as too much ToO!

I'm not familiar with the game, but I doubt that any game is good enough to stay up all night playing! Of course, it seems like there are a lot of gamers out there who disagree...

You'd be surprised... it's a widespread epidemic of obsession.

Ohhh...so sad.

you can't play your Halo! Oh, what will we ever do?

Sing mournful songs and cry into a teapot until it fills up, I guess. Too much ToO!

I hear the ending of Halo 2 was really lame. Without giving away any spoilers, who here can confirm this claim?

I can't confirm it, but everyone I've talked to says that the campaign was really lame.

While definitely not my favorite game, it is really fun, especially "turf," a map that came with the 2.5 expansion. I find that I only enjoy the game when playing with a bunch of friends. Something about trash talk.....

I just played H2 today, it continues to be a awesome game. I love it. Since I don't have a Xbox I won't get it, but I play it at my friends houses.

My brother will be getting Halo 2 soon. I agree with the person who said they didn't really like 1st person shooters. I kept wanting to get a view from 3rd person, I think it's easier. But Halo won't allow it. During the Halo 1 missions I also wanted to duel wield weapons, I'd been used to that playing the multi-player with my youth group, but alas, no go on Halo 1.

I don't know anything about Halo 2's ending. I hadn't heard it was lame or anything like that...I don't hear people talk about it at all either though. And I've never played Halo online...I prefer to play with real people! Though one of those headsets would be AWESOME.
