It was already boring, rotten slop day 1.
There's a reason Gaylo was the butt of a joke of the entire gaming industry for over a decade, until the next level trash like TLOU dethroned it.

Halo still feels just as good to play today as it did at launch, and part of the reason is the single player FPS has advanced fuck-all over the past 25 years.

Yeah: boring, slow, unoriginal as fuck, and unimpressive as hell compared to contemporaries from years prior.

Halo is a very moddable franchise with solid lore and world building. Even fan games get made for it. I just recently played a "play as marine" Halo Reach overhaul for the campaign and honestly that shit was very well done narratively. The final mission has you playing as Johnson's squad escaping Reach and they use the Halo 1 armor and assault rifles with 60 bullets.
man i really love halo 1-reach. i cant believe there's anons who've spent more time whining about halo than others have enjoyed playing these games when they were current with friends from school/work.

In high school all of my friends relentlessly fellated this trilogy, we even had massive LAN parties where everyone brought their consoles and we played multiplayer.
I never got it. I found the game so fucking boring and even at the LAN parties the only thing that was fun was flying around in a Banshee being a nuisance.

No, I refuse to accept that.
Halo fags throwing a melty cause they know we are right about the gameplay being boring as fuck. The game was literally designed for low IQ amerimutts to be played on a controller too kek

The only thing that has aged poorly about this game is the fact that it falls apart in the second half. Between the CE Flood being infinitely less interesting to fight compared to the Covenant and the recycling levels.

halo seems to bring out the most obnoxious faggot that hate on the game for being fun and making shooters not feel like shit to play on consoles
>>719110306 >Quake birthed Team Fortress, Counter Strike, CoD, Wolfenstein, and many others.
none of which has the gameplay you quake-boomers cry about.
they are all more like halo.
I have seen quakers shit themselves over how counterstrike ruined PvP, and when they explain their strange viewpoint it makes sense why.
you are full of shit and hoping nobody calls you on it.

On PC sure, but on consoles I was shocked how bad other shooters felt compared to halo. You can consider it a worthless achievement, but Halo perfected the console shooter with it's first attempt, at least in terms of control.
I rate Halo games on how good I am at the multiplayer. Halo CE I am good at because I can just rape people with the Magnum, so it's good. Halo 2 I'm just okay at, so it's ok. Halo 3 I suck at, so Halo 3 is shit. Halo Reach I am good at, so Halo Reach is good. Any questions?
