I don't see the appeal

I don't understand it. I have many friends that i know in real life that i have on XBL. But the extent of the games they play are: Halo 3, Guitar Hero III and sometimes Rock Band and Guitar Hero II. I'm being dead serious, they don't even buy other games, they spend thier crap on shitty 'gaming chairs' that feel like wood.

Not to diss those games, they are alright in my opinion. Well sub par. But yea sure Halo is fun when you are playing with all you friends from time to time, but it's not the kind of thing i wanna play everything single second when i'm on my 360. And as for Guitar Hero and Rock Band, yea i like them, but my respect for them is slowly evaporating.

But they did play CoD 4, for about two weeks. They all got to Prestige, then quit. And started playing Halo again.

But serisouly, what is so good about Halo that you would need to play it all the time!?!

I'm not going to lie, i'm not the greatest at Halo, but my friends use that as an excuse to why i never play. Well i would be good if i played that and other shit like Metriod Prime: Hunters for 700 fuckin' hours. (Not even joking one of my friends had 700+ hours on that game)

But anywho, i can't believe i wasted all this time and energy on a topic like this... ahhh well.

Lemme rephrase something here, Halo sucks my big throbbing cock. It sucks, I fucking hate it. I'll play it from time to time, but it sucks.

I can't even put i picture in it just, no, i'm getting to angry here. I shall stop, sorry for my outburst. I'm just sharing my opinion.

For some people Halo is a social experience. I don't particularly care for the game but I get the competitive nature of why some people are drawn to it. Its like the beer pong of video games, in some sense.

I never liked Halo, I failed to see the appeal. I think Niero is on to something though.

I kinda agree with Niero. Halo is sorta like a man's game. Just like there are "guy movies", there are certainly "guy games". Basically Halo fits that mold with blowing crap up, being competitive, and being able to mock your opponent online.

I for one never really got into Halo online, but I can see where people think it is fun.

I played Halo for the first time in a few weeks tonight, and as you said, it's only because I was with a bunch of my friends so I decided to pick up a controller and play.

When it comes to chilling out and playing a 360 game, I'd choose CoD4 over Halo 3 any day.

It could be because they know that if their gaming habits every come into question they can say "I play rock band and Halo", which is the social opposite of saying "I have a level 70 in World of Warcraft".

They are the acceptable games for cool kids to play.

Halo is fun. Its got fairly accessible gameplay, has appeal from the variety of weapons, vehicles, and equipment, and you cant deny that its well set up to play online.

I suspect Cod 4 would be better on xbox live, but get a system link going with at least 8 people, and Halo 3 would be king. It has more interesting maps, and more importantly, the customization is amazing; you can make some insane gametypes. I wish every other shooter had customization like Halo 3's.

Its a pity its not used well on xbox live, having played it a little i can see the common gametypes getting very boring very quick.

Heck, just turn off shields. Its like Cod 4!

I didn't diss Rock Band (or at least i didn't mean to, it ma have come out that way) But Rock Band is a great game, even greater with four people.
