Now alot of people have been asking "When are we gonna see another rant?" I'm not going to be answering that question right now, instead i'll answer a question that hasnt been asked and probably not even considered by the majority of you which is "When are we going to see a display of ranting formed into a game review?" Now.
I'm going (Out of pure boredom if nothing else) to do a series of reviews (cough Rants cough) about games that people love and adore so much. And probably change your opinions once you start looking into it.
And to start it all off, Halo.

Now, alot of you are probably thinking "If he dares bad mouth halo i'll kill him". Well, stop thinking that. Or of course, stop thinking at all and go dress up as a spartan with the inability to remove your helmet. Don't get me wrong, i like Halo, but it is riddled with small idiocies.

Has anyone but me noticed that when trying to drive around in a vehicle, your fellow marines suddenly become complete idiots who drive, shoot and in fact look in the wrong direction? I recently played and the driver decided he'd like a fist fight with a rock, the passenger shot at that rock and me, the gunner, sat there wondering what the hell happened when suddenly a grenade blew us all up. The AI is just scripted BADLY. Marines will randomly roll about when it is pointless and then get shot to pieces while standing still with a dumb look on their face. The general on the.. er.. well the mission you have to rescue him on seems intent on getting himself repeatedly killed. The enemies randomly run at you and then realise that you also have the ability to melee and can shorten their life spans to around 10 seconds. And then of course, there are the grunts who don't like it when their bosses die, run around like retards blindfolded and then randomly chuck grenades at you. Sorry Microsoft, but you got it all wrong.

Then of course you have the crazily over-powered weapons. Your assault rifle can take out a hunter (A huge, brute of an alien for those of you who haven't played it yet) while it's holding up its shield and the bullets are bouncing off it suposedly harmlessly yet the thing still drops dead of apparently its own accord. The pistol can one shot kill from extremely long range which just defeats the point of it being a secondary weapon. The Convenant's weapons are strangely balanced compared to yours.. And hello, the Rocket Launcher's entire point is to blow things up, not to cause a full scale nuclear disaster.

The graphics and the sounds, i suppose, can't be faulted but that doesn't make up for the lack of gameplay. And i didn't even have the chance to play multiplayer as, after buying the game legally, i was told that my serial key was invalid and that Microsoft were going to send down a fat person to eat my family.

So, i have to give Halo: Combat Evolved a 5 and a half thumbs up, the half a thumb being what you get for playing this game repeatedly and end up chewing it off in anger.

Thanks for reading. Next rants subject: Half-Life 2.
