I came a question that asked if gametes had a full set of chromosomes? The answer was NO. Don't haploids have a full set of chromosomes and diploids have 2 sets?

I think you're confusing the terminology. A set of anything indicates a pair of something. In this case, a cell with a full set of chromosomes (mom and dad), such as that found in a somatic cell is diploid. A haploid cell, having half the chromosome count only contains half the set (23 chromosomes as opposed to 46).
Yes it would be considered incomplete since a haploid cell has only one allele for gene. Having two alleles in humans, i.e. being diploid, would be considered a full set of chromosomes.
