Yeah I know how i would make a halo movie Step 1: Build 2 sets Step 2: Film the entire movie on the same 2 sets and hope nobody notices Step 3: Profit. -------------

I like halo when I'm just killing things. They screwed halo 2 up when the tried to have a story behind it.

Yup, they went to into detail. I fell in love with Halo because of its huge environments, it was great. Halo 2 was a let down. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

If it was that simple why is it so successful? I'm to lazy to check out the Halo movie info for you, but search around IGN.com. (Threat Starter) -------------

Because kids are retarded. How can anyone think that killing stuff in halo is the best part? The story was the only reason i wasted my time playing it as far as i did. After that it turned into Open Door Things jump out Kill things Swarm of tiny things come out Kill things Move 10 feet to next room Repeat Worst game gameplay wise since serious sam... -------------

Halo ruined my life, I
played too much, threw controller threw wall because someone named 'I
hope u mod' modded the stuff out of me, picking up 10000 rounds for the
battle rifle every time... throwing warthogs and ghosts at me... I'd not watch the movie unless I had a hot date, the only fun for me is actually playing the game... -------------

Halo ruined my life too. When I play a game or watch tv, I always use
to rest my feet on this little glass thing covering the DVDs on my
stand thing, and I would always lean back. One time I was playing and I
leaned back to far, and I kicked my feet out to try to catch myself,
and accidentally kicked the glass too hard, it shattered EVERYWHERE,
with no pieces bigger than a 1/4 of a dime. That sucked. And djrock, are you black? ------------- I need a new Sig... |

ok i love halo and halo 2, but when i first got halo i played for like
5 hours at a time, when i got halo 2 i loved it a ton.....i played it
like 1 hour at a time, then i stopped playing altogether, halo i beat
it about 20 times, and halo 2 on 2 times ever since i got it......even
though i love halo 2, i still think halo is ALOT better........other
then that, i want to see how there going to do the halo movie, it will
more then likely be a flop but you never know til you see it......

Maybe if you are completely ignorant of level design, or gameplay, or suspense. HL had scripted scenes that enhanced the story. It had intelligent monster spawns, and decent AI. HL didnt rely on 50 tiny things swarming straight at you every 10 feet. The only challenge in halo is shooting the tiny pieces of crap with the worst control system known to man. If you play it on a real system like a PC, its CAKE with a mouse. Its just mind numbingly boring. The outdoor levels are nicely done, ill give it that, but the indoor maps FAIL UTTERLY. The first few levels are interesting, then it descends into retardism. "Hey uhhh master chief, theres some thing at the bottom of this generic alien dungeon we need you to go get" *floor one, kill some aliens* *floor two is identical to floor one, kill aliens in slightly different places* *floor three is the same as floor one* etc etc etc. And theres at least TWO MAPS LIKE THAT! I quit playing it in the "library". "Hey uhh master chief, follow this little robot dude" *walk 10 feet, glass breaks, 50 aliens come out, kill them* "keep following me" *walk 10 feet, door breaks, 50 aliens come out, kill them* etc etc etc The one thing that halo actually managed to do better than HL was avoiding the instant-death situation where you walk around a corner, and a sniper blasts you in the face instantly. Better hope you saved. The only way to proceed in a situation like that is to know EXACTLY WHAT TO DO and reload your saved game about 10 times. Crap like that is a complete failure of intelligent game design. But the bottom line is halo isnt even in the same ballpark as HL. Let alone in the same UNIVERSE as a game like system shock 2, deus ex, or thief. -------------

I read all 3 books and other than many many spelling errors the story was excellent. If they do a movie on the first book, "the fall of reach" It would be one of the best sci-fi movies since star wars if they directed it right. (not that thers many sci fi movies to compete with) ------------- "Killing is my business...and business is good." |

I don't know about turning it into a movie. A movie could ruin the future games, on the other hand it could help it. Maybe they should just leave it alone, but I guess if they do make a movie I will eventually go see it. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

I never got into halo...I thought the aliens were too cartoony and annoying and the whole story was too simple and boring and not nearly dark enough for my tastes....Two player was really fun though....As for the movie, I dig power armor to a high degree so I'd prolly see it just for that.... -------------  |

As much as I hate anime and Final Fantasy, I do remember them making Final Fantasy into a movie and it sucked! It was a movie where you don't have to watch it to know it sucks. For ever who said they hate the Flood. I completely agree with you. It should just be constant killing of the covanent, no new crap, just pure alien slaughter! -------------

Halo's multiplayer is alright, but the game is pretty repetitive. Goldeneye007 had better maps. ------------- Hey, nice marmot!  |

I thought Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was pretty cool and the
Roughnecks series based on HEINLEIN'S Starship Troopers rocks hardcore
but I think Halo would be much much better served with a live action
movie.....assuming it's done correctly...

| The only time I had to disagree with you Enos was here, The one thing that halo actually managed to do better than HL was avoiding the instant-death situation where you walk around a corner, and a sniper blasts you in the face instantly. Better hope you saved. The only way to proceed in a situation like that is to know EXACTLY WHAT TO DO and reload your saved game about 10 times. Crap like that is a complete failure of intelligent game design. I happen to actually like that about Half Life as it makes the game harder and more realistic. Think about it there are going to be situations like that in real life and if you do have it saved you can think of an ingenious way out of it. |

| i thought the books really rocked, the games were really fun, but a movie....The final fantasy movie sucked big time, but id see a halo movie if it wasnt extremely cheesy or it wasnt constant killing. They'd have to give the movvie a spine, cause playing a game where you kill constantly is fun, but watching a movie where its constant carnage is just meh. |

The dialouge/storyline will have to be awesome is what your saying and I agree. Shooting things all the time will be a waste of 2 hours. |
