Ok firstly, Halo and Halo2 are made originally for X-box, so they are designed to run with the "crapass" X-box controller. If they were originally on PC and then ported to X-box then that point would have vailidity, such as Wolfenstein, but Halo and Halo2 are originally desinged for X-box, so the kb/mouse compliant is nulified, and theifore not a valid point in this debate.
Is the Halo series over-rated? well is any popular and very hyped up game over-rated?. The answer? yes and no. Yes the game in question is normally a very good or fantastic game that does alot of fantastic things in one package and can change the way the genre is looked at, etc.. but some people get carried away and try to mkae it out as the best thing ever or the second comming of Jesus, so yes the game that they talk about is normally really great, but a couple of rabid fanboys sometimes take things over-board. But this is hardly the games fault, and its quality does not diminish or increase because of this. It all depends on who you ask, that determins if that particular person over-rates it. You can't just say that everyone does.
I'm not talking about Halo specifially here, just any really popular quality game. As for the option of "I think Halo sucks", the standard fanboy response, this is not a thread about "what do you think of the Halo series" or "do you like the halo series?". This is "Which Halo do you think is better?". This is something that can only possibly have 2 options because there are only 2 Halo games. As far as I'm aware "Halo sucks" is not a game.
So don't mention things that are not relevant to the topic.
As for my answer, I think Halo 2 is better from what I've played so far. But obvioulsy there are certain niggly things that I prefered in part 1, and then other stuff that I like more in part 2 etc.. its a trade off to try and get the most quality.
