i don't own a xbox so i waited for halo to hit the pc....and well it's here.
first off, i think something is up with the code on this thing....it plays incredibly choppy at some times at 800x600 (i have a 2Ghz, 1.5GB of RAM, 128 ATI card, so i got the juice to run it), but for the most part it runs smoothly. it just seems odd that a game that got ported from the xbox to the pc can at time be sluggish. so if you put your money down for this game, make sure you got the hardware.
i was disappointed in the repetition in this game...levels, enemies, weapons. i was really disappointed in the levels...they are gorgeous but so far there has been lots of repetition and i'm more than halfway thru the game.
okay the good stuff...what a gorgeous game. really great looking stuff here. action is good, and of course the vehicles are a nice touch (though buggy at times, i'm driving a scorpion and there is room for a guy to hop on, well he doesnt, runs in front of the tank and won't move, he then starts to hop on and runs himself over...his buddies get pissed...i have to kill em). and so far the story is great for a fps.
i'm a little let down. xbox guys rave and salivate over halo....and yeah i can see why....but i can see alot of little things that ruin it for me.
is it a great FPS....i would say yes...but i think i let the hype of this game get to me which ultimately has made it difficult to live up to.
