as stated before, it is crap. Ok the graphics arent very good, the game is really slow paced, its just all out boring. And dont be all, just cuz you suck at it you hate it, cuz that isnt true, lots of people in my dorm hall have it and i have actually played with them on XBox and i win a lot of the time, but i still cant stand the game. It is a mediocre FPS. If i want realism, i will stick to Ghost Recon or Raven Shield. If i want crazy fast paced action i will stick to UT2k3 or hell even Quake 3.
Because, at least in my opinion, the XBox doesnt have any real good games. People just flocked to Halo because it was so "revolutionary" and took so long to make so it must be good.

When Halo came out, it had the best console graphics on any videogame to date. It may not compare to some titles today, but you can't judge it based on graphics today. Hell, check out the AA and image detail in the XBox version. It beats the hell out of even the PC version's graphics in some areas (nearly all but framerate...and only in some cases). SUre, Halo is a slower-moving game than most FPS, but that's because it actually has a physics engine worth a shit. There are vehicles in the game, each represented with a physics model that is nearly unrivalled in the gaming world. Fast-paced games simply can't do this.
I was thinking about the games you mentioned that are better, and I realized something: they are all on PC. Yes, they got good reviews, but they are PC games. I'm guessing you just hate console games period, and refuse to accept that any console FPS has good qualities. Oh, this isn't out of the ordinary, a lot of my PC friends won't play consoles because "ahhh blahh the graphics suxor and controllers are for idiots." Well, you don't know what you're missing. Like I said earlier, most PCs simply have the graphical edge in frame-rate. That's it!
People didn't flock to Halo because it was "revolutionary" and "took 5 years to make." No one knew what Halo was when it came out. I was at the XBox launch, and trust me, not a fucking person there out of the 100 where I got mine had even heard of Halo. Millions of people bought Halo because they played it, read the outstanding reviews, and knew that they couldn't skip a game like this. That's why there are so many fans.
I guess PC gamers will never want to admit that a console FPS has any advantages over PC FPS. Oh well, I play both and enjoy both.
