As a Nintendo homer, I too never played Halo

I knew about from cultural osmosis, but never figured why it blew up the way it did

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts after the next video. I think that level does a way better job of showing what made Halo stand out.

What you said about the vehicles and level design makes some sense from a technical level and breaking new ground. The other smash hit FPS around time was Half-Life, which had an entirely different narrative and gameplay structure compared to every other FPS. And infinite modability

I'm not a big FPS guy, so a lot of stuff looks the same to me. The shooting aspects don't seem particulary different than other games. Tho the Needler is cool looking

Huh, Halo 1 seems like a really short game

Wait, the Covenant energy sword has an ammo counter?

I do feel the need to point out that I really never intended to play this game for the LP. I'm not a big RTS guy, and I feel like Halo Wars' lore contributions to the Halo universe could be summed up in a bonus video. But I dislocated one of the fingers on my left hand, making it very difficult to play most video games. Rather than let this thread languish any longer, I figured what the heck let's do it. At the end of the day it is an interesting and fun game and it's just more Halo for the Halo thread.

So do you play this game one handed then? Or with your feet
