Influence Of Halo On The Video Game Industry

Halo 2 weapon pickups let the player enjoy the map to the fullest while giving no player a true advantage over one another other than skill and experience. Also, weapon pickups makes the players if they are playing a team oriented multiplayer match to cooperate together so, that they can control all the power weapons. The second design insight I learned from Halo 2 is that good level design can really extend the life of a game. I know this sounds trivial, but Halo 2’s servers only got shut down in 2010 six years after launch because, some people liked its maps more than the recent games and decided to stick with it. Many Halo maps throughout it history like Zanzibar, Coagulation, Lockout, and Ivory Tower have been remade countless times throughout the Halo series, because of their fan-base.

Although, seeing as video games are increasingly popular today, not everyone met as unfortunate of a fate. Today, many could credit this to the video game development corporation known as Atari, which arose in 1972 and continuously flourished until about 1982. In 1972, Atari came out with PONG, the first electronic arcade game, and it was an enormous accomplishment that exploded into what is now called the electronic gaming revolution. As time passed, Atari managed to triumph over its competition time and time again, but that is not to say that each of the failed corporations did not feature something that is used today. In fact, a couple of the failed organizations contributed something original to what is common today. For instance, Fairchild Camera and Instrument creating the first system that could play several different games, rather than just one. Another aforementioned group, RCA, was the first to produce and utilize keypad controllers instead of paddles or joysticks. Other consoles that came along, such as Intellivision and Vectrex, sported better graphics than the Atari’s consoles and games, but they still did not manage to gross the amount of money that Atari did because Atari was still on top of collecting all of the most entertaining and enjoyable games of their time. Keep in mind what attracted the masses to video games in the past: fun and addictive gameplay, not how good they looked. Now that the principal eras of gaming have been

Halo: Reach is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie, published by Microsoft Game Studios, and released on September 14, 2010, for the Xbox 360 video game console.

Tom Bissell presents an article in 2010, to college students of which is “Why Video Games Matter.” Bissell isn’t intending for the argument to be about video game criticism, the history of the gaming, or an assessment of anything. On the contrary, he wants to articulate his own opinions and thoughts on what playing games feels like, why he plays them, and the questions they make him think about. Being a gamer myself, I have also endured the struggles of what being obsessed with a video game feels like. It is understood that when first purchasing a video game, all one thinks about is getting home and popping it in the console, disregarding everything else that is happening in the vicinity.

Alot of people like video game, but don’t really think much about who came up with this and how did it get so popular well here are the answers to those questions.

Let’s analyze this. Halo and its single player campaign held a vast universe and followed the Spartan warriors into battle to save the Earth from the alien invasion of 2 different races while Call of Duty has switched from World War 2 and the Modern era. I must say, the World War 2 story lines were quite boring, being the same in almost every way, but the Modern Warfare story line caught my attention. With the evil villain Makarov and the twists and turns the story made in Modern Warfare 2, I was on the edge of my seat. But, Halo was in every way better in the single-player front. Following genetically enhanced Spartan warriors into battle fighting off hordes of aliens I was amazed with how deep the story got and how Bungie used every asset they could to enhance the story further in a not so crazy way.

I am pleased to provide you with a book recommendation. Currently I am half way through Halo by Alexandra Adornetto and think that you would enjoy it deeply. Adornetto published her first novel at age fourteen and started publishing the Halo series at age eighteen. She is a very inspiring writer and unique ideas and powerful adjectives to make her writing special. If you liked the twilight series you should consider this book as it has a similar concept as twilight but with angels rather than vampires.

Video games in today’s society have become very popular. Every new game that comes out to be played and conquered by the average gamer has its own category. There are several other types of genres of games that people play but because of big hit titles and the new popular game systems like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, people become more interested in a game that is well known than a game they have never even heard of before.
