Ok.
Halo is a good game...it always was, and always will be. However, the game is overrated.
Halo became a fan favorite game because it brought a really great multiplayer FPS experience to the console system. It was the first, and so far the best console multiplayer FPS. It was also the first to bring multiplayer ambitious and strong level design of the best computer shooters.
Second, Halo brought a refined control to the genre that many believe is better than the control available on computer FPSers.
However, its overrated because the story, single player level design, and excitement was never as great as people believed it to be. The single player experience of Goldeneye is a far better experience even though it is technically inferior in every way.
Now we have Halo 2 coming out and MS is genius to hype this game. They also were genius to focus all its attention on what made the first game so great...multiplayer. I am curious how the single player experience will be, but I doubt it is going to be nearly as great as the multiplayer experience.
What does this mean for DSers. We don't need Halo on DS.
What we need is a well designed FPSer of our own. It needs to be designed specificly for multiplayer experience, and bring something exciting to the series.
The answer I have is for the original Goldeneye to be ported to DS. Why? The single player game is already there so the designers could work on how to port an exciting multiplayer experience. This is however very unlikely to come out.
So the second answer is to hope that Metroid Hunters is truly a brilliant multiplayer experience. If it is then we will have our great multiplayer game for the DS, and we can forget about the need of a Halo for DS.
