When you touch down on the planet and the music fades away all you hear are your footsteps and the waterfall and you see the covenant dropships ship fly off :wow:

the GOAT gaming feeling i ever had next to playing Goldeneye for the first time. CE is the greatest console shooter ever. Don't even waste ya time trying to argue with me...it's the goat, period.

Half Life
Quake series
Doom

I understand what Halo did for FPS on consoles though - esp Xbox . Just didn't get the "hype" personally coming from PC shooters.

I played all those games on PC too, but was pretty impressed by Halo. those early fps's had very simple gameplay. other than Half Life, they didn't have much of a story, and the mechanics were pretty much "walk around and shoot bad guys". Halo definitely stepped it up by making it more of a 'movie like experience' (for lack of a better explanation), plus added a lot of new mechanics like vehicles, friendly npc's, etc

nikka plz...

CE's mechanics, skill it took to be decent, maps and overall gameplay >>> COD4

there is literally no comparison between halo and cod...you're better off comparing it to battlefield or killzone.

I do understand the fun factor in COD...but CE also had that and more. If you need a perk to be a better player in a match then you're food in CE.

Halo 1 only had like 3 stand out boards. You better go pull of COD 4 maps before you start with that malarkey. And COD was just the evolution of CE. hell Halo 2 was superior.

Yup, i was driven like 50 miles out to get an xbox, and I remember wanting to get the tony hawk games for xbox and my bro wanted to grab Halo, neither of us knew of it, but since I spent all my $ on the xbox we got halo cuz he was paying. I was hooked ever since the dude who woke you up died, I was like damn I just met this dude and he gone :to:
