I didn't get into it on Nintendo 64 (I didn't have any friends nearby where I lived) so I missed the multiplayer angle. I also could not really get into the FPS on a controller situation. Playing them on a computer is, to me, so much more fun.

I did do a lot of Halo local multiplayer as I had friends around at that time - I sucked because I had not honed my skills with FPS on consoles. Lol. Double edged sword.
