Halo and Halo 3.

[phranctoast]

I have a couple of questions about Halo in general and Halo 3

Can someone explain to me why people care so much about the Halo series. I found the first one to be a mediocre game thats been done a hunded times better on the PC. The second seemed so focused on MP that they made a lackluster sp game.

I love the Unreal Tournament series. Halo seems to be more popular than the UT series. Can someone please explain why? for the life of me I cant see why this is more popular when UT series (to me) seems to far ahead of anything bungie could do.

I also saw the video for Halo 3. I thought it was Halo 2. Video didnt look impressive at all. Warhawk looks more impressive and that looks real simple.

Why are people losing their mind over the x button funtionality. WTH is that about. So.....you can map a button to a specific weapon.. revolutionary and mind blowing.
That shield grenade they came up with looks and plays like a combination of the shiled gun in UT and the shield grenade in Resistance (you need to beat game first)
Im still waiting for bungie to announce the translocator for Halo 3 and for the fanboys to believe that Bungie actually came up with this idea!
