Haha... yeah, I can totally understand that... simply put, the game was a day late and a dollar short. BUT, to me, the underlying game mechanics were simple and fun, and the challenge levels of single player were very enjoyable. On the other hand, I own every game Bungie made besides Minotaur and Halo. The reason I don't have Minotaur is because it's impossbile to find, and Halo wasn't convincing enough for me to buy an Xbox. Personally, as an FPS, I preferred the gameplay of Timesplitters 2 to Halo.
Halo, though, is still fun to me, and it is built upon an insanely detailed and meticilously planned universe, and to that I recognize it's merits.
