This is pretty much what everyone thinks AFAIK. Halo was designed for a console, and the PC port just isn't very good. Auto Aim doesn't translate very well to a mouse and you can't turn it off. Driving is awful w/o a controller, too. Halo is a console game only IMO.

I admit that it's a horrible level though.


Kuci, which trailer did you download?

The biggest one, the ~9 minute E3 trailer which shows the first level.

Halo is a great SP game. MP it's fine, but lacks the depth of a proper MP FPS like Quake3.

MP is great, and SP is good (in fact, it is the only one where I enjoyed the SP)

That's E3 2003. You haven't even seen the MP yet!

Halo wasn't bad, it was just...uninteresting. I mean, everything looks the same after five minutes, and for the love of god why was there only one MP player model?

It just didn't do anything. Except get hyped too much.

Different MP player models suck.

[Jon Miller]

ok

I enjoyed it (And spent hours and hours playing it)

I don't enjoy most FPSs (including Quake)

take it however you will

I take it that different players have different priorities.

Halo is a damn fun game; will it still be on the hardcore FPS tournament circuit almost 6 years after its release?

IMO, no.

Auto-aim?? ehm, I didn't use that.. I aimed right towards where I wanted to aim and where I moved my mouse

What exactly does different multiplayer modules mean?

You're right. Halo 2 will have replaced it

I think it's better to explain this with an example.

The original Halo only let you play as one character in multiplayer. You were always the Master Chief. You could choose your color, yes, but it was always the same guy. It used the same model. Hence, Halo didn't have more than one multiplayer model.

Halo 2 will allow you to play as the Master Chief again, but also the Covenant Elite (the best, brightest, and brawniest of the enemy forces.) So there are two multiplayer models in Halo 2. (Possibly more, but they've only shown us 2 in previews.)

I don't have a link, but it's the E3 2004 video that shows multiplayer. Set your googling skills to work.

I think I found a good bittorrent link here

edit: This link is from a guy who brought a camera to E3 and recorded a presentation. This isn't the one I was thinking of. It's still pretty cool because it shows a bunch of new features.
