Ask me that question and all you will get is a link to all the games ever made with Halo and a whole lot of other lackluster FPS's struck out along with most Bli****d games...Then I will just punctuate that with a wan grin.

can you tell me what's so different about this game compared to the previous halo games? and also why you are over hyping it so much? seriously though, f--- your xbox and your crap graphics.

Unreal Tournament.  Simple as that.

You can always upgrade to Gears of War!

if u dont have halo play BORDERLANDS 2 simple as that.

Planetside 2 hands down. Unless you're a mindless run n' gun CoD fanboy, then stay away bc there's too much strategy involved and we don't need someone saying the game sucks because they don't know how to play it.

Keep playing Assassin's Creed III?  K.

I actually found all these games more exciting than halo 4 LOL! Halo 4 kinda gets boring fast for me... Even the campaign was just so redundant. Same enemies and basically the same shit over and over.

ThroughTheGlass 6 pts

I'm pretty sure I lost a few brain cells watching this video. Not to be a troll or anything, but I don't see the appeal of Halo. I have played mostly every Halo game released except for the RTS one and it just feels bland.

DarthLod 1169 pts

Borderlands 2. Far superior to this redundant crap. No Multiplayer elitist egomaniacs like Halo is plagued with. Just fun.

ThereWillBeNPCs 5 pts

 DarthLod You must not have a 360. Course Halo is fun once you get into it. It's all about teamwork and strategy if your allies aren't idiots. Borderlands is fun of course, but you can't always be shooting at AIs all the time... Oh wait, you still have a few buddies to circle jerk with! 

laser00 92 pts

 ThereWillBeNPCs  DarthLod play Counter Strike first, only then you are qualified to talk about teamwork and strategy in an fps..

dave_0527 5 pts

 laser00  ThereWillBeNPCs  DarthLod jajaja play MAG or Battlefield

GoldenEye2010 35 pts

Because Halo is the only game ever.

 arizothwow lol did u mean "gamestop" or "gamespot" xD

laser00 92 pts

Lol, Tribes for me is a thousand times more fun than Halo, and hell, its free.

cablemodemx2 8 pts

 laser00 Agreed. Hell, even the original Tribes, circa 1998, was more fun and 'innovative' than a good many of the FPS games released in the last decade. Sure, it was multiplayer-only, but that was hardly a detraction.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

 

No mention of a game I'm still hooked on - Borderlands 2. Why do I need to play halo when  I can summon a killer robot and fill a whole area with bouncing ammunition, go skiff jousting with my friends or randomly duelling on the small pathways in the eridium blight volcano. good times. 

 

I have no time, patience, desire nor money for yet another halo game. {If I want a jetpack based FPS I'll go hunting for a jetpack mod for unreal tournament 3[or UT2004], I seem to recall there was some halo weapon mods for that as well. Seems like the logical alternative to me.}

Tribes is far better than Halo. Once you get your first  mid air blue plate special every other shooter seems like a slow stroll with your wife in the garden.

omg how much did microsoft paid gamestop to try to get halo 4 into peoples heads lol i mean a few videos are ok but this, is way too much.

Leboyo56 18 pts

I lol'd at LBP Karting. I mean I'm a huge fan of the main games, but I knew that was going to flop. I was just thinking how dumb it was that Sony didn't think Modnation Racers was good enough for a customizable kart racer, so they had to go ahead and make one with their more well-known franchise. 

Supabul 129 pts

 Leboyo56 They wanted a Mario Kart killer and failed just like there Halo killer's failed

cablemodemx2 8 pts

 Supabul  Leboyo56 Indeed, they should have realized that Halo didn't actually need a killer, it was never in the top spot to begin with.

I wish this video was actually serious...

StonerDemon 15 pts

Wait... seriously, this video was actually posted here? Isn't there any quality assurance department on this website? In the very deep, this video was made only to make more (maybe paid) Halo 4 hype, like "these games are only alternatives, but they're not better". I don't really like COD or Battlefield, but they're great alternatives and they're not even mentioned here... why? The answer cant be more obvious.

H4num4n 105 pts

 StonerDemon QUAKE, UT, COUNTER STRIKE, RED ORCHESTRA. See? I mentioned them. Maybe you can expand the list?

RichardHighwind 13 pts

@StonerDemon Cause COD and Battlefield aren't set in Sci-fi universes. I see your point though.

Leeric420 80 pts

I dont play halo because its not that good of a game, it lost its appeal after halo 2 or 3.

And only because of griffball haha

H4num4n 105 pts

 Leeric420 I think it's the same for every gamer.  When you get good at a game you like it and play more. When you never really get the hang of it, you play a while and put it down after it's getting boring 'cause everyone owns you:D

I have always wondered what was so unique about Halo compared to other shooters in the past and shooters now, the true factor is that now its hyped! it started of as a great concept for a shooter and indeed it was! the world and gameplay even the physics are ground breaking! and unique but 3 or what ever plus games later seams a bit dead core..

 

They lack the continuity, the evolution and the innovation to the original concept of the game, its been 'Hollywoodised' like most popular titles these days.. gone are the days of true fresh innovation gaming, sorry I am drunk, my heart aches.

H4num4n 105 pts

 DeanoFantasy You're right, but wich shooter gives you the same amount of options, tools, gametypes, etc. or even more than halo? BF? Tribes? Killzone? No other shooter. Got my BF premium on PC and was playing a lot, but now it's time for Halo agian:)

Ok this video now has made me realize that I'm stupid for ever coming to this website. Who thought that this video was funny or cute? I demand an employee at gamespot get fired for this video... just downright awful.
