I like the games, but I couldn't understand the hype, and to be honest Halo was just boring me.

I thought you were a WISE-Predator :P  Just kiddin.. it's not for everyone I guess.  I loved Halo 1.  Halo 2 was ok, slight dissapointment though.

Halo 1 really did out shine Halo 2. But I have a good feeling about Halo 3. I think it's the story that really drove the hype of the game. There is a lot of mystery.

When I started the game it just struck me that it's just an FPS game set in the future, then it came to me that all the hype was because of the multi-player. But the best thing to come to Halo was Red vs Blue ;D

P.S I thought it went out of hand when the Flood came in.

 It has a good multiplayer along with Gears. But I never really got into it much, mainly because of the ten year olds bitching at me for spamming the rocket launcher.

I personally don't like Halo, as I believe it's in terms of genre and idea-- a copy of Aliens vs Predator.

Erm... How so?
High tech aliens eradicating the human species, while one "cyborg" enhanced soldier fights to save the human race.
Yup. Sounds so much like avp...

The marines, their dropships, how they act is exactly like  ALIENS  even Sergeant Johnson who is the exact ripoff of Apone from ALIENS....right down to the cigar!


Now on to the preds


ELITES.....nuff said.

WisePredator

Halo is pretty much recycled from nearly all the well known science fiction films like: The Thing(The Flood), Aliens(the Apone rip-off, the Drop-Ships and the similarity between the battle ships), Starship Troopers(The look of the marines) and Predator(The Elites/Arbiter). Then they just added a holographic assistant, a cyborg and a giant Halo, that can destroy the universe(oh yeah Star Wars, the Death Star, only more exagerated.).

Halo has literally gotten everything from all sci-fi things, the only thing that I appreciate them doing, is that Bungie actually doies their own thing with it.

Theres a difference between a rip off and an homage.

Elites... whats so similar? Mandibals? Cloaking?
The mandibals arn't anything like pred mandibals...


Onto the cloaking, firstly predator didn't invent cloaking devices, secondly, not only elites can cloak in halo.

The dropships and Johnson are just homages.

Oh and how is the flood anything like the thing?
Come on Star wars didn't invent doomsday devices...

I am guessing it's like the thing, only in that it controls a person or things body...that's as far as i think the similarities go.

The pelican and johnson are carbon copies of the Dropship and Apone.

Bungie sucks at being original.

They have their homages, but they really ripped a lot of ideas off.

1. Have you looked at the deformed marines in Halo1-2?

2.Star Wars was the first to invent the largest doomsday device ;)
