I played this at my cousin's house when it came out, the game's intro was spectacular/badass it got me into the game real fast, unfortunately I dropped it shortly after because it didn't have that feeling from the other RTS games I played before, I did not like the gameplay that much it felt boring.
2010
I used to play this a lot during its early days but then it got ported to Steam and was made p2p shortly after which made me stop playing, this was the worst move ever because it killed most of the playerbase, this game used to have a lot more people, unfortunately there aren't many servers or any that are in my area anymore which gives me a lot of lag, other than that the game is what you would expect, a fast paced skillbased shooter where you will get stomped on your first time, you'll get better trust me!
No, seriously, as intimidating as it may seem for a new player they can still get better at this game, I'd suggest practicing with bots first or test all weapons in a solo private game before you jump into deathmatches with real players so you can familiarize yourself with this game, you won't get good with just a few hours just like any game, people in other games will stomp on you if you don't practice so it's possible to get good at this game even if you're late to the party.
The game has a lot of weapons with unique abilities and ways to master them, I'd say that no weapon in this game is... bad... they just have a higher skill ceiling, the community is really friendly and there are some Discord servers willing to help you if you need help, Quake is a game that won't punish you for moving in a certain unintended way (like being slown down or not being able to shoot) and that's what makes it special for me, you can rocket jump and bunnyhop all you want so I'd suggest giving this game a chance, it's one of my favorites.

1999
One of the few games I still play occasionally, I don't play much shooters these days but I'm still one of the very few that still plays this after Epic Games removed the game from every online store, the characters look unique, gameplay is decently fast, it has cool people, iconic soundtrack, death screams and cool weapons, it's a pretty straightforward game and that's why I like it.
2006
I used to play this game on LAN with my school friends a lot, it was pretty cool and gorey for its era, chainsaw kills were ALWAYS satisfying, the atmosphere, story and dialogues were good but I hated the restricted movement.
1998
One of my favorite RTS games back then, there were 3 factions in this game but each one was really different from each other and almost perfectly balanced, each faction had something different that encouraged you to try them, I remember playing the campaign of this game a lot and designing a thousand different maps in the editor (back when there was still an editor), the soundtrack was also legendary. This and Empire Earth are my favorite RTS games.
Everything about this game is nostalgic and iconic, from the Wololos and basic sound effects, most of the stuff in this game was engrained in my mind so much, I still remember my first time playing it on a very old CRT monitor.
This is one of the games that defined the RTS genre and was certainly not underrated, it was a pretty big game back then, the gameplay was simple yet complex but incredible, it's a shame that the RTS era is gone.

It is THE BEST Empire Earth game and dare I say one of THE BEST RTS I've ever played, the gameplay, visual effects (which for most might have aged badly but not for me) and soundtrack are still as good as I remember, everything about this game is fantastic and was one of the games that introduced me to the RTS genre back in the days.
2020
Much better than DOOM (2016) and was much faster (still not as fast as I would like) I liked the artstyle, most of the demons resembled their old 90s DOOM designs which was a nice touch and the weapon combo was pretty cool too! this game improved on everything DOOM 2016 did except for the PVP mode, they got ride of the fun Arena deathmatch mode that was present in DOOM 2016 and replaced it with a lackluster PvP/PvE 1v4 gamemode that I don't really recommend at all.
2016
It was okay but I didn't get impressed by this game, I felt like the gameplay was too slow for a DOOM game and the artstyle too generic.
2021
They promised us a lot before releasing this game, people were hoping for playable elites, an actually open world map (A trend which I personally hate), fun gunplay, maps, splitscreen and Forge on launch but none of these were added as promised, this game was broken promise after broken promise, it was nearly unplayable on PC due to stuttering and low FPS when it wasn't even that good looking of a game.
For me this is when I lost all hope on 343 and Microsoft, I regret of ever buying this game's campaign.

2012
This game isn't and will never be a Halo game for me, the game was okay but it didn't feel like anything special to me, the enemies were generic, the soundtrack was generic, the artstyle was generic and it had no playable elites, the game just felt like a futuristic Call of Duty, at least the story of what happens to Cortana is okay but everything else was bland.
2009
I feel like this game was pretty underrated back then, it was my first Halo game on Xbox 360 (I couldn't get my hands on Halo 3 back then) and I'm pretty glad it was, the game didn't have PvP but that didn't matter, the Firefight mode was really awesome, playing it with friends and my brother was pretty awesome, the soundtrack and atmosphere were also incredible.
2007
This is for me the definitive vanilla multiplayer Halo game, It wasn't my childhood game (Yes I missed out a lot) I played it on PC when it got ported and it is single handedly responsible for making me spend hours in the Master chief collection, it might not have the mods Halo: CE had back then but the multiplayer was really fun and balanced.
The campaign was the only one thing that didn't surprise me much, it felt rather short and rushed but at least elites were playable again.

I enjoyed this game quite a lot on PC back when you could find matches easily and when it wasn't plagued by legal aim-bot kids, playing this game on PC was a bit of a hassle mainly because they made this game for Windows Vista and you were required go use Windows live games service too but thankfully a patch was able to solve that.
The campaign on this game was okay, the new look of the enemies was a surprise and it was the first game to include dual wielding which is a pretty big deal since it makes previously weak weapons into considerably dangerous weapons and combos (for example plasma pistol and pistol combo), unfortunately it didn't have the feeling as the first game regarding the atmosphere and mysticism but was still a good halo game, playing as elites was really cool.

Pretty good game I enjoyed back then but it really aged badly, movement is poor and aiming is poor for today's standards but I feel nostalgic for it in every sense, the PVP with my brother was awesome.
