Gaming Never played Halo but I wll soon and I have a few questions?

[GhostofSalvtore]

Whats so great about it, because I love FPS's and this is supposedly the best one out so I would like to know whats so great about it.
Is there going to be any Gameshark codes and when is the gameshark for Xbox coming out?
Is there any bots in multiplayer?
How challenging is the game on I guess normal difficulty, because I want a challgenge and hopefully this game is it.
Well thats all I have to ask so if someone can tell me much thanks to ya!

[COLOR=darkblue]From experience...Halo is a great FPS...it's mostly the story component that makes it good, featuring a great 2 player co-op ability...the difficulty levels are suited to the player...ranging from Beginner to Legendary (where the real fun is). Maybe you could go to the local brick 'n mortar VG store nearby and try it out. Gameshark shouldn't be too far away either.[/COLOR]

Most definitely. However, for hardcore players such as myself, that would ruin the game. :)

Nope, actual people are a necessity.

It's pretty challenging. Halo is often praised for it's quality enemy artificial intelligence. However, your friendly AI is of much less quality.

The game should keep you on your toes with the difficulty pumped up.

When does the Gameshark come out?

[Outlaw]

You want a challange in a FPS, just wait till you get to the last level on legendary. Granted, its pretty simple in co-op mode, its near impossible in one player mode.

Yeah, it usually takes me several tries to do that last level....

Anyway, yeah, as was previously stated by everyone who replied, the game is good and well worth spending money on....

But is it good enough to buy an Xbox? hmm, I really couldn't say....

[GhostofSalvtore]

Well do you think you would need a strategy guide because its so challenging.

No, there is no need for a strategy guide, I completed the game without any help whatsoever....

[GhostofSalvtore]

Well are you an occasional FPS player of a hardcore one

[Outlaw]

Ya, there are really only a few times when you might need a stratagy guide or online map to find your way, but for the most part, its pretty straight forward.

well, neither really, I play fps games a lot, just like I play any other type of game be it fighting, rpg, or whatever....

[GhostofSalvtore]

Well it is the best FPS ever, right, but one thing I wish it had and if it did this would increase the replay value is if it had bots like Perfect Dark, maybe Halo 2 will have bots, but either way I am still going to get this title cause it plays basically like Perfect Dark without the bots with its co-op mode to its sci-fi campaign mode, it just plays like a pretty Perfect Darl.

there really is no need for bots since you can have up to 16 players in multiplayer at the same time! its insanity, 4 tv's, 4 xbox's linked up, 16 joypads, a HELL of a time....

[GhostofSalvtore]

Yeah but none of my friends would even consider getting an Xbox there al GC fans mainly and I have a GC and PS2 and soon to have a Xbox. So thats why bots would helo.

[Outlaw]

God LORD are 8 on 8 Halofests amazing. Me and my friends have had like 4 this summer. A mazing.

Also, they are planning on having Bots in Halo 2. Infact, for a while they where planning on releasing a Halo 1.5 with bots, just b/c there was such an overwhelming responce about not having bots.

And you may want to keep your PS2 if you want a Perfectly (Dark) good time, as PD 2 is rumored to be released on the PS2, as Nintendo does not own the rights to it. Aparently, the Rumor Girl in OPM was able to get that out of a drunken exec at an E3 party.

[GhostofSalvtore]

Well when does the next Halo come out?

~~

Also can anyone give me a link to some online maps to Halo.

[GhostofSalvtore]

I am also hearing about a Halo 1.5 that would include Bots is that true and also people say that if that doesn't happen then a new Halo, Halo 2, would be out by the end of the year.
