GameSpot Review: Halo Combat Evolved (XBOX)

[djwezzmaster]

wow halo sucked all emotion out of this reviewer

[alexforspeed]

I'm not a FPS gamer but Halo is the best FPS game ever!

[drkex]

@alexforspeed The original CE was close for me, but Half-Life 1 still overtakes that spot for me.

[kenlaboss]

i started up this game now and choosed a difficulty but a glitch came up the text sayd eas (easy) n rmal (normal) her c (heroic) le endar (legendary) XD funny moments!! 1 time on maw then a door open i was to hide behind and baam! wtf happend i falling trough the floor!! working every time!!

[XxTHEGAMERxX1]

@futurepredator your right halo stays original i was a real big call of duty fan but once i played halo i was like what have i been missing

[IntoTheFace]

Haha, i love this reviewer. So freaking oldschool and nerdy!

[Testement117]

@futurepredator

The series? The only other game in the series that I like other then this one is Halo Wars.

[illyara]

hes just tired of playing too much halo

[martinezmrf]

Wow this guy sounds like he hates his job lol

[whatharmcanitdo]

this guy looks either really tired or stoned off his head ^^

[TheFacelessGamer95]

and to think that "not so strong" mutiplayer turned into the beast that it is today

[ParanormalMetalMan]

Halo CE might be my favorite game of all time!

[unstoppablex]

Best review ever.

[nightcrawler2099]

Is it worth getting on 360 for 1200 points? Is it buggy or smooth?

[hujgup]

@nightcrawler2099 YES

[erichmarine]

@nightcrawler2099 it is worth it

[VegeXP]

I played this game with my friend and i must say it is very overrated IMO. I'm not big fan of these futuristic cyborg things whatever but the gameplay was good.

[loopyed1]

@VegeXP you've got to remember mate it was released literally 9 years ago, the only good fps on the console at the time was goldeneye for the n64

[wolfman8325]

I've liked every Halo game to some extent, but they never had the same magic the first one had. Some of the levels in the original were absolute classics - huge sprawling landscapes, and cool covenant bases within. It got lost a little somewhere along the way. most of the sequels additions take away from the experience in my opinion. There was a sense of exploration in the original, now it just feels like large scripted battles - the storyline interfaced with its own ass too.

[irkiIIer]

best single player in the history of single players

[ParanormalMetalMan]

I STILL play this game often, I know its ten years old but it doesn't FEEL ten years old and it never gets old to me

[Zipfer851]

This game meant as much to Microsoft as Microsoft meant to Bungie

[WeskerFIN]

the best game :)

[TheyCallMeNewb]

The black colored covenant, the ones send to stop the flood were the bees knees - those elites could lob a plasma grenade like a missle!

[F13rce187]

This game is the reason xbox didn't go the way of the dreamcast

[spogi]

nice. good times!

[Packerton]

"........Captain....Keyes"

[RevVic]

uh, you know, uh

[Privatesargent]

I personally think halo's strongest point was its multiplayer, more on its xbox live.

[xFIRERUSHx]

i love the halo trilogy. the spin offs were good too! i hate it when people bash halo 2 and 3! it makes me mad.

[NaruMaiden]

@xFIRERUSHx well "haters gonna hate". I still wonder how come there are lots of trolls in Halo videos but there is none on GTA, Call of Duty, etc. and they're all very popular

[xFIRERUSHx]

@NaruMaiden because halo fans have better things to do than troll. cod fans and gta fans dont feel good enough so they go on anything other than those games and hate it.

[NaruMaiden]

@xFIRERUSHx yeah well, my point is that Halo is way too hated by others. Nobody hates GTA for example, but Halo videos are filled with trolls. I think the reaction to Halo is largely mixed: either hate it (for reasons I will NEVER undertand) or love it. I prefer the later by the way.

[xFIRERUSHx]

@NaruMaiden well it seems call of duty is getting most of the hate now. GTA has faded away a bit so nobody cares. Haters love to target the big guns because the series they love didnt sell as well such as Little big planet, half life, duke nukem, goldeneye, doom, and more. I like those games but halo is better.

[Sn1p3rOuTkAsT]

THE best Halo game, EVER.

[Hans1994yout]

I bought this game after I beat Halo 2 and 3 and I still loved it!

[VideoGamePwners]

halo 2 is the best halo ever the story is great and the multi is great too, but stll this is and amazing game. i got both for pc

[xFIRERUSHx]

@VideoGamePwners i love the whole halo trilogy equally but yeah, i have a soft spot for halo 2 i guess.

[VideoGamePwners]

@xFIRERUSHx the music is wat gets me its so depressing

[JohnyJoe]

This is the only great Halo game. The second and third were just multiplayer bulk.

[BRADYSMITH8395]

@JohnyJoe No, I thaught Halo 2 and Halo 3 had great campaigns too. Halo 1 is still my favorite though.

[BRADYSMITH8395]

@JohnyJoe Halo 2 and 3 had great campaigns too in my

opinion. Halo 1 is my favorite though.

[gangstacrap]

Multiplayer isnt as good as single player....Yeah right is this guy high?

[thehawk1018]

Do you think it's worth it for the 1200 Microsoft Points to get the downloadable version to my 360

[shomosnicholas5]

no just buy it... its like 10 bucks

[jul7254]

@shomosnicholas5 i got it for 5 at gamestop it isnt the original case but i dont care

[Nawmaster]

OMG OFC ORSE!!!

[Bobb44444444]

yes.

[TheHaloCEfan]

u can even use an old XBOX HALO CE disk it works atleast on my 360

[ludwiggreensparkle]

in response to what lemans24fan said...the AI he describes is actually not that different from the AI we still see in our games today.

I hate it when people post things just to be dumb shits

[lemans24fan]

its soo funny when he talks about the AI. Nowadays, those enemies would be considered dumb as hell.

[3CNut]

@lemans24fan

Do you have any idea what you are talking about.....the AI in the original Halo is better than 97% of games that have come out since....believe it or not

[kurt23407]

i still love to play this game every now and then... its just that awesome, truly uncontested:D

[goyte229]

My first time playing COD i kept getting shot repeatly out of nowhere, i was like WTF is this and never played a COD game again

[lemans24fan]

which COD was it?

[goyte229]

cod 2 i think, i played the campaign mode, it just didnt catch my intrest

[chassqarciaa]

the storyline is the longest i like it

[Ipmatic]

i got this from a torrent. does that mean i can't play multiplayer?

[Banana391Returns]

when the game came out

[wolfman8325]

HALO never got any better than this, infact it got worse . . .

[MrPezzzz]

Agreed so much, after that Halo just lost that charm the first one had.

[BRADYSMITH8395]

@MrPezzzz I agree ,but they are all still way above average.

They still had great singleplayers and multiplayers, they

just lost the feel of exploration.

[irkiIIer]

@wolfman8325 damn right, exept i kinda liked halo reach because it had some of THIS in it

[Commentguy2]

this halo is the best it's hard and fun + it has a heathbar for skill add on.

[affekamel]

legendary review

[EliteChiefStark]

man i remember the good old days where i always stayed up all night playing campaign and multiplayer with my friends ....good times....

[XtremeBrain416]

This game is very disapointing. One reason why was because it had the flood which was very unexpecting on all of the news and their weapons are so fake, it is like im playing star wars. If you tell me, i think the it should be rated either T or E. the game did not even have a plot what it had was some crap. The monsters are unrealistic, it makes me believe that Zelda's enemys are real. The settings were not exceptible. Igive this game a 20%. plz do not get that game people.

[ghostspider]

im not much of a halo fan, but even i can tell how dense and ignorant you comment was.

[Glyxamaru13]

Were you high when you said this?Joking.But besides you and the other 2 Halo haters,everyone loves Halo.You should really PLAY the game before you say some random crap just to seem like your "different" than others,or you even know what your talking about.Yes,it is unrealistic,but guess what?It's a last generation game.

[Playstationgamer814]

I haven't even played the game and I know your comment was a load of bullshit.

[pivotoftheyear]

I respect the fact that you have an opinion, but at least don't say to the people "plz do not get that game people." You are implying that no matter what, people will hate it. So far, if you look at these comments, most people like it. So, all in all, I say there is a 2/14 chance you will not like it.

[danger7x7]

Agree this is one of the best games ever made haters can keep on hating.

[fawnha]

I love this review. I always watch it when I need inspiration

[Nitnelav1994]

yea its really fun to watch

[Tannerislegend]

COD only lacks in greatness because it keeps getting remade by treyarch/ infinityward. infinity ward has obviously made the better games, treyarch actually made the ones that suck. plus the COD series doesn't have as much potential because they have to stay within reality and history.

Halo is the best FPS ever

[pdgreij]

I agree with everything you said, Also it actually takes skill to kill someone, whereas in COD its one shot and its over.

[Tannerislegend]

true, and the two weapon system was stolen by COD, which is possibly one of the best additions to the world of the fps. COD is great, but halo just is better as far as determining skill, COD is too complicated and relies on too many variables.

[Justsmoke42O]

gah, i think cod4 is the best shooter out. Halo is great tho.

[irkiIIer]

@Tannerislegend they REALLY dont have to, they can make up what ever, i can see mw3 being about world war 3, it only seems fitting because cod was started with world war 2, and can END with world war 3 with mw3 being the last cod game i mean if russia fought us that would basically spark world war 3. Now there is or should be no more fuckin cod games theres already SEVEN!! thats FUCKIN ALOT, modern warfare 3 should be the last and should be the greatest and should be the most developed+mapeditor

[Flash11l19]

Having fun with your new program?

[Banana391Returns]

I'm LOVING IT!!!
