Halo was probably the best shooter game I have ever played, but why? I can only stir up so many reasons from the depths of my mind and have concluded that its uniqueness and emotional storyline were key concepts. Also, the unbalanced multiplayer was almost addictive. When Halo was released, everything was new! The marines has bestowed one of the most original uniforms, in my opinion, and the campaign was just exhilarating.
Halo 2 became worse... the marines looked more like today's marines... the weapons were more like today's weapons (SMG) and well.. the campaign was pretty much just "slaughter the enemy" and no real missions or anything interesting. Multiplayer was great, some say even better than halo 2, but the overabundance of useless or balanced weapons made it hard to follow up. I, myself, play halo 2 online and I have seen more toddlers play it than people of the correct age! I mean, I am only 14 but the way these children act... cursing and profanity.. really demolishes the xbox live halo 2 community.
Halo 3 looks like a eye-candy game to me, probably even worse than halo 2. I'll probably buy it though because I've been a loyal fan so far (as in purchasing the games, maybe not in opinions).
Cortana looks really bad in the trailer.
