IGN: Love it or hate it, the Halo series is, without a doubt, one of the most successful franchises in gaming history. When Halo 3 hit shelves in September of 2007, it sold over 3 million copies in the first 12 days, and has since sold over 8 million copies. In the wake of the game's whirlwind retail reception, merchandising spiked to unparalleled heights. Consumers can find Master Chief's likeness on soft-drinks, clothing, toys, keychains, collectible figures, books, and bumper stickers. The newest way to own a piece of Halo, however, comes in the form of an interactive board game.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Breakfast cereal and Towels.
Here is a nice fact to look up. The Original Xbox Launch List average about a 5/10 or 2 0ut 0f 5. While Halo was a 9. What would have happen if they launched with better software beside it? Also another fact is Half-Life 2 was suppose to have launched really Xbox launch period but was hacked and got pushed back a year. How Mircosoft and Valve seem all friendly now. Just seems weird to me.
lol @ Halo Interactive Strategy Game ;-)
