In 2001. When did you see anything HALF as good as Halo looked back then?
You didn't.
You can say the controls sucked, storyline, etc, but the fact remains you couldn't pickup a game like Halo (Graphics, Sound, Interaction, etc) at all.
Halo was revolutionary in terms of graphics and console capability.
BTW, feast you eyes on this: http://www.gaming-vortex.com/reviews/xbox/...review_xbox.php
That should help.

LOL Enoch! That's like saying it sucks! Medal of Honour games are just...ugh...The first ones were okay for their platform, I mean PS1 graphics couldn't take much moe, but play it on a console such as the Xbox, and nothing has changed, the graphics still look disgusting...Electronic Arts have ruined another good game...

[I'm not dissing Halo, but I have something against graphics]
So what if they have good graphics? What's so good about graphics? I prefer gameplay.

Halo has both. I simply said graphics because it is one of the features that stands out the most.

Also Jaz, my thoughts Exactly, EA just can't develope games, Goldeneye was developed by Rare, so it was cool, then EA takes over the 007 series and it ends up to be an average FPS, something you'd rent and play, EA should stick to the genre they're at least a little good at, sports.

I mean, it is a fact that FF is a GREAT RPG series only BECAUSE people's opinons dictated that.
You can't have FACTS on games really (Other than specs) because everyone's view is different.
I would say that if a great majority of people said Halo was one of the best, if not best FPS for any Next-Gen console, than yeah, it would be a fact of sorts.

But yes, in the gaming industry, Opinion create's Fact, even in anything else, in Science, it is a theory which sparks it off, then a scientists opinion, and then, we have the fact, stemming from it. Not all opinions are fact, but when it comes to gaming, the majority of opinions on something becomes a fact, if 99% of the Gaming industry stated Sega was actually a front for a terrorist training camp (LMAO!) then what can that 1% do? Of course, with fact, evidense is needed, and in gaming, the there's two way's for Evidence, 1. The Majority of Opinion on the Matter, 2. Direct screenshots or specs from the game itself, since the subject is based on Halo being the best FPS to be released for 2004, it is option A that is best suited for this sort of decision. But again, it all comes down to two things, Opinion + Fact. :lol:
