I have. I've even made a door with the Warthog that you have to tip over with X to get in.

Oh man, there was this one game in Blood Gulch where Drew was bringing the enemy's flag home in a Warthog, and he was heading for our front door because there were a couple enemies near the back of the base. Before he made it, someone got him from behind with a rocket launcher, and his Warthog went airborne, flipped, and went THROUGH the hole on top of the base, landing on our flag. Our team of four was on the same TV, so we were dying of laughter. Good times.

I don't have anything against Halo. I love Halo... I have very few weaknesses in a Ghost. During my previous comment, I was thinking of some people I know that think a game is great just because of graphics. Halo doesn't just have excellent graphics, it's really fun.

I've really only played PC Halo, but it's always 16 players. Warthogs drive into buildings all the time.

Killing Banshees with the super overpowered pistol is fun, because people in Banshees think that they're invincible.

I was hoping all of you people would agree with me and say "Halo/Xbox sucks", because Microsoft is hyping the series way too much. Why can't Microsoft make other games that are good quality like Halo?

The only other Microsoft game I like for Xbox is Blinx, which was very innovative (using the time control feature). Hopefully Blinx 2 will be much more innovative.

Just a note, Microsoft doesn't "make" Halo - Bungie does.

I tried Halo 2 a bit last night. A few good 7-player rounds.
It was fun, I guess. I'm not really into first-person shooters, but I knew enough about Halo...
There were a few new things, but nothing really significant (dual-wield isn't all that useful.) It doesn't look like it's going to be really revolutionary or anything, especially compared to its hype.
It's just a sequel, and it feels the part.

I can't vouch for the single player, though.

Now: is that at all credible...

Go Moon!

Yes I know that. Bungie is owned by Microsoft. Microsoft should encourage their companies to make games that are actually innovative and fun. Instead they make crap like Brute Force and Voodoo Vince.

Where is all the innovation in the gaming industry? It's with Nintendo and Sony!

You can't say that all gaming innovation is with Nintendo and Sony--but it's likely that the X-Box could use more innovative games with more original ideas. Halo is just another FPS game--most of the X-Box games I've played just remind me of old PS games with better graphics and different storylines. But the style of play is just like games Sony designed or produced years ago.

With that, I might get an X-Box if one of their games could make me laugh, cry, cheer, mourn, and basically have a Mario high like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door does.

Yep.

...?

They may have overhyped it a bit, but it still is an excellent game, even by shooter standards (the first one was, anyway).
I disagree with Lizard Dude in that shooters should ALWAYS be played on a console. ;)
