Halo 3 >>>> all PC shooters.

I disagree whole heartedly.

[QUOTE="amorbis1001"][QUOTE="CaseyWegner"][QUOTE="kevy619"]

lol, shut up. There are no higher pc standards, thats just a silly myth. Unreal Tournament also got a higher review score that year. So now are you going to say that Unreal Tournament games have lower standards than other pc shooters?

Drizzt13

half-life 2 beat halo 2 for shooter of the year despite scoring lower.

the pc version of star wars battlefront got the "best" tag despite scoring lower than the xbox version. why is that?

"Ironically, though the PC version of the game is technically the best, it also faces the stiffest direct competition, because to many PC shooter fans the game may come off as old hat. After all, aside from the Star Wars universe, Battlefront doesn't deliver anything PC players haven't seen before, even though it's a solid game in its own right. The console versions of the game--especially the Xbox version--might seem more fresh and appealing to their respective audiences, who don't have as many choices in online team-based shooters."

1) Well then I guess Halo does doesn't deserve a 9.7.

2) That is seriously the most idiototic thing I have heard this year.

I guess halo doesnt deserve a 9.7. heck becaus of my sig you think I actually would give halo a 9.5, :lol: halo 3 is a 9.1 tops I used my sig cuz cow were saying the game would flop, but If I was to review it only game that got a 9.5 in my word for this year would have been GOW 2

That is absurd. I have several facts that I could lean on ifI wanted to, such as no PC game scoring over 9.7 which was Halo's score.

I think you are just reluctant to accept my unbiased points as more than just flamebait.

Halo : CE being rated high on gamerankings is a fact, Halo being rated in Gamespot's "best FPS's of all time" is a fact, Halo 3 breaking sales records is a fact, I could go on and on.

well i must return to the real world....to the halo player haters (yes, it's a whole breed of people) know that there ARE those of us who play halo, think it's great (one of my favorite games) that don't go around saying "tehz greatest game eva! cs is teh noob game mouse keyboard lawlz!!!11"

not saying tc creator said all that either. just in general

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]um, what did any of what you just said have to do with my post? :?

It has to do with everything Casey, EVERYTHING.

you spelled "nothing" wrong. kind of a crazy coincidence that it ended up spelling out "everything." :o

This is a joke thread, Deus Ex is better than halo. Halo on PC wasn't even AAA, console shooter have a long way to go before even being rated on the same level.Adrian_Cloud

On a note, Halo 3 felt like was trying to be something like UT2k4 in some ways.. Anyone felt the same?ArisShadows

Halo 3 isn't a twitch shooter though. UT2k4 is much faster pased.

lol you actually believe that, heck because of mods and teh suprior control scheme of the pc. please, I have owned many in cs:s source with my 360 controller, and as you would kno it controllers even worse when it isnt optimized for controllers. so there goes the myth for pc having superior controlers (it is better but not that amazing like some would suppose). as for mods :lol: I havet played a mod that captured my attention for a sec, as for graphx pc graphx is worth it, I mean 600 dollars for only better tectures than a multiplat console games, that aint worth it. if you ask me gamespot reviews is a bunch of hoopla that goes running with wat long time myth as garbage. pc gaming might be great but it isnt wat you hermits make it cracked out to be, I used to be a pc gamer until steep pricing and lack of action game were there so I came over to console, and thank god I did pc gaming is slipping and I guess when KB/M comes standard in console and the graphx difference is unseen, you hermits are gonna find the simplest thing to warrant pc gamming being superior.

(forget my last post, I had to post this, pc gaming superiority isn't superior at all and console gamers arent missing out on any thing but WOW which only a pc gamer would play)

ignorance is bliss...aint it.

I would sig that, if I had enought room.

Now before you all go jumping down my throat let me explain. The first Halo was widely accepted to be just as good as Half Life. (Even GS said it in a video review) Halo 2 was easily one of the best mutiplayer games ever when it came out, and Halo 3 surpass both those games in all ways. The reason why the Halo series is hated on so much is quite simple actually, it's the reason why emo music is hated on so much these days: because of popularity.

And the reason why Halo games are so popular is because of the quality. This has led to countless elitists who bash Halo games whenever possible because it's not a 10 year old game on the PC. The reality is that all Halo games have done a lot for console shooters.

And before someone brings up really old games, keep in mind that those games might have beengreat for their time but they are out dated in ever way possible compared to Halo 3.

Discuss :). Let's try and keep this as civil as possible.

So you agree that the statement the TC made is pure opinion and therefore no point in arguing it?

Gamespot's Halo 2 PC review:

[quote="Gamespot"]The PC has more than its fair share of amazing shooters that blow Halo 2 away in every possible way, making this one best suited for Halo fans that want an easy way to play custom maps.Zeliard9

Think it's really that different for Halo 3?

"It's still easy to see why this game was so loved on consoles in its day, but when you put it in direct comparison with recent PC shooters, it loses a ton of its appeal, making it best suited for Halo fans who want a good way to play or make custom maps." you mean that quote? considering Halo 2 came to pc three years later, what the hell is your point?

Halo 3 hasn't sold as much as HL2 did if you count HL2's retail and direct download sales that total 13 million copies sold... And if we are going by gamerankings...

Title | Plat | Company | Reviews | Avg. Vote | Avg Score

Halo: Combat Evolved| XBOX |Microsoft Game Studios | 91 |8.8 | 95.5%

Half-Life 2 |PC| VU Games | 95 |8.9 | 95.5%

they are equal yet the average vote for HL2 is higher and it has more reviews..... So....

dracula_16

Your horribly wrong. Let us get this straight - Halo isn't even in the same league as PC shooters. Personally, I believe Counter Strike is the greatest FPS of all time. Looks like others agree since its the most popular online shooter in the world, yes, more popular then Halo.

And that is after 8 years. See, Counter Strike is as timeless as a video game can get. It holds the most prize money in competetions then any other game. After EIGHT YEARS. More people play it online then any other game. (including your precious Halo 3). After EIGHT YEARS.

Do you know why? Because counter strike has more depth and takes more skill then Halo and all the other recent shooters. There is nothing holding you back. There is no aim assist, no auto aim, the hitboxs are small, the only thing that decides what hits is your own dexterity. Not your rocket curving into them, not your crosshair following them around. And dare I say its just flat out more fun.

I believe that a multiplayer based shooter will NEVER take the top spot without the keyboard and mouse because having to use the lame gamepad control scheme seriously limits the depth of the game.

While CS is timeless, your Halo is disposable. Halo 1 was thrown out for Halo 2, Halo 2 was thrown out for Gears, and Halo 3 will be thrown out for another game. I'm sure you'll have great memories of it, or even play it from time to time, but you won't still be playing it more then anything else when the next big thing hits.

'And before someone brings up really old games, keep in mind that those games might have beengreat for their time but they are out dated in ever way possible compared to Halo 3.'

Your not just biased your just flat out ignorant. Counter Strike has much more depth then Halo, its more popular then Halo, and when Halo is dead and buried CS will STILL be #1. Deal with it.

Yes I agree the original post is bit of an overstatement. But still, its just as fair a statement as saying there are many pc shooters better than Halo 3. The only pc shooter on the same level as Halo 3 is Half-Life 2. Games like F.E.A.R. and Stalker just dont measure up to Halo 3.kevy619
