I’ve never even heard of quality generic, so it stays an 8.
EDIT: nvm
It can look generic (the fact is, HL1/HL2 are generic, hell, every mainstream game is generic, cept for few selected author projects like Psychonauts, Full Throttle or MGS), but there was a lot money and effort put, which is clearly seen. This is called quality.
You are entitled to your 8, but above was my point since I ever played the game.
I’m talking about art style. The art style is generic, but what I think you’re talking about is details and how the art style is brought to life, which is quite amazing. Actually, on second thought, some of the alien weapons have some good art style. I’ll change the grade.
Every FPS games are brothers, no doubt
Of course it would look generic, duh, everything space age Sci-fi became old in the 80es if not sooner.
The ring idea is also old as fuck, but they managed to make it fresh and interesting. That ability to make a candy out of nothing is what makes bungie cool.
Nevermind the milking of the franchise, it’s fucking inevitable duh.
ODST, I loved the city’s AI, Virgil. He is present with you throughout the game and is constantly telling you things and pointing you places. And he does have an interesting side-story in the Audiologs. Liked him more than Cortana.
There is none. Face it Halo fans. Halo is a mediocre game for mediocre gamers. If you like halo its cuz you have yet to, or in the process of having sex with a girl. Why halo douche bags would hang around these forums is dumbfounding to me. This is for pc gamers only, a.k.a quality seeking gamers.
Not everything space age scifi is old. They could’ve used something more original, that makes it all look more impressive and alien like. Why would everything made by aliens be made out of the same kind of material as our stuff and look like it could’ve been made humans? Sky boxes where impressive though, I give you that. The aliens are kinda original though, I give you that.
Did I say anything about milking the franchise?
aimed at ODB.
The only thing I know about it i that it’s a prequel to Halo CE
Well, they could make something like w40k tyranids for it, but that would be a completely different game. I’d say it’s fine like it is, good ol’fashioned sci-fi. It’s not like it’s pretending to be something different or incredibly original.
Nah, It was just a general between “this and then” remark not aimed at anyone.
Oh, okay.
Awwww, here is a newfag representing forums he just joined in.
This just in: no one will like a newfag more here if he disses a mediocre game. Find something better to impress. Just sayin’
Please refrain from feeding the PC elitist fag.
No.
I’ve got this bitch.

He’s gone now. I win.
Well, I won’t read through all these dozens of flameposts here and there.
In my opinion this game is good, for the singleplayer part. I played all the Halo games and I’m pretty excited on playing Reach Co-op with somebody. I never really played the multiplayer part of the Halo games, only the one Halo 3 has.
Some people flame about how Halo sucks bla bla and other about how the CoD series sucks.
Well, I think that I’ll never understand those people 
^You pass the test of sanity, bro.
Alright, but what’s the game’s “thing”? Besides the levels, how is its gameplay distinguished from the other games, both multiplayer and singleplayer? That’s what I’m trying to find out from this thread.
Well, I don’t really care that much about how the gameplay differs from other games of that genre. The only thing that I can say is that the Halo 3 Multiplayer has some nice gamemodes that I’ve never seen before in any other FPS.(Don’t remember their names and if there was an FPS with such gamemodes before)
