Heh, you're all bashing it, but i don't think it's a bad game at all. Certainly not original, but I give credit when deserved.
It runs fine on my computer, and my computer isn't all that great, i don't have any fps problems at all. It runs better than most games out now ( except for call of duty, which should be an example to all other games, it looks amazing and runs perfectly)
Whoever said the AI is terrible is just talking out of their ass, the AI in halo is one of the best I've ever seen. They actually hide when their shields are low, and they actually miss shots. Much better than AI which normally just charges you spraying bullets at 100% accuracy.
the handling of the vehicles is fine, in my opinion. Most of the areas where you can use a vehicle, are grassy,muddy, or icy anyway... have you ever tried driving on any of it, you don't get as much traction as you do on a paved road.
Another good thing about the game, is that on the hardest difficulty, it's actually hard, probably one of the hardest shooter games I've ever played. Not just that the AI has immpeccable aim, they actually use cover and duck in and out of it.
The bullets start off at random directions... This isn't quake, in reality, you can't shoot 100% accuratley while doing a backflip and throwing a grenade at the same time. Even someone who's standing still isn't going to fire accuratley. Some may say "well he's a supersoldier! he's supposed to be the best!" Well, like I mentioned, they try to make the game a little more difficult than that.
The fact that cars and vehicles cant blow up isn't really true... if there is a player inside the vehicle, you can blow it up, you only can't destroy it while it's unoccupied. So much for the "laziness and lack of coding skill" theory.
The storyline is actually decent, and unique, unlike most games.
Probably one of the only games worth buying, becuase not only does the single player keep me busy, but there's actually a multiplayer that is decently fun. The only problem I ever had with it, is that Microsoft should have released it for the PC much earlier than it did, and sure as hel shouldn't have released it on the Xbox first.
I give it an 8/10.
