HALO is not meant to be played by yourself. Halo is not DOOM or Quake or anything like that. That's why you have the option to play the campaign cooperatively. Whoever plays Halo alone is not going to experience what Halo is really all about. If Halo really sucked that much, why is it still the most popular basement-garage-livingroom-get-together-and-order-pizza-and-each-chips-social-event-LAN-FPS console game? Halo is all about multiplayer and socializing. I'm getting HL2 and Halo 2, but I'll probably play Halo 2 10x as much as Half-life 2. And as far as Dextrox's comment about FPS belonging on PC, I disagree. I can't play PC FPS games well at all due to carpal tunnel symdome and just plain having horrible wrist accuracy. FPS on console solves this problem for me
