Halo 3 >>>> all PC shooters.

[QUOTE="cobrax75"][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?

amorbis1001

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."

ignorance is bliss...aint it.

I would sig that, if I had enought room.

I kno cs:s is a mod of hL, you hermits would post the mods like if it actually extend the life of the game, wat really extend the life of game is a good MP not any mods with more creatures with different skins from the stocked characters.

Ugh,

anyone who plays UT3 on a console needs to be slapped.

:D

I don't disagree. By the way have you played the Crysis beta? I remember you saying you wanted to, and there were keys open to everybody for a while. Ever snag one?

Sadly man, I didn't.

Hopefully there's another batch coming, unless there's still a few left? -/hopeful-

Also, I kinda wanna test my performance with a decently optimized build. I know that's a far cry (no pun intended) for a Beta build, but it would be nice.

There's the final batch going out right now, but it's only for fileplanet subscribers. So I guess it's up to you. The beta doesn't run that badly, at least not for me, though I have a pretty high-end rig. It's not really optimized, though, I wouldn't say. Like you pointed out, it *is* a beta. If you mostly wanna test your performance, you're probably better off waiting for the SP demo which is out I think on the 25th.

I'm excited for the CoD4 PC demo on thursday, too, since I didn't get to play any of the 360 beta. And Orange Box is out on Wednesday. The TF2 beta is also amazing. Very good time for gaming. :)

Tc just stop this right now the original halo did not win GOTY,HL2 did not win GOTY and HL3 won't win GOTY either. Why because there are better fps on pc even though halo might score higher it's no matchfor pc fps.ChiChiMonKilla

Well I merely make that assumption when your trying to defend Halo 3 is the best in a THREAD NAMED "HALO 3 >>>>ALL PC shooters", specially when I said that Halo 3 by no means is awful.

sSubZerOo

Hah, no ! I wouldn't do that.

In the opinion of the general public, halo 3 is the greatest FPS.. sales numbers say so, if crysis was so must have and convenient for the general public, it would sell more then 1/10 the sales of halo 3.

Don't worry.

Speaking of Halo... If I owned Bungie I would have them make a game about Gravemind because he's too mysterious.. He finds an allien which is from a rare race from a planet and uses him to do all of his work.

You would be playing that superallien and you would travel to several planets to destroy the races or to do whatever Gravemind wants you to.

HL1 and HL2 have gotten FPS GOTYs.

Halo CE got the console FPS GOTY (PC and console seperated at the time).

And the Half Life series is much better than Halo.

Heck people compare Halo to Half Life. Uh Half Life came out 3 years earlier, than Halo, and it delivers a better FPS experience (imo).

Oh and Half Life 2 singleplayer is MUCH better than Halo 3s. Seriously it KILLS it. Halo 3s features + MP is its saving grace.

Seriously though, what the TC said about why Halo is hated is about 95% true.

One of the definitions of a true elitist is someone who goes out of their way to be a non-conformist. This is the cause of many people uber-bashing Halo when in reality they simply think it's an ok shooter. They feel some need to "elite" themselves away from anything popular, regardless of any apparent qualities it may or may not have.

It's honestly really annoying.

the thing about halo is that its Over-hyped waaaay over hyped, so much hype that people consider it being over rated, its a great game, its just not worth all this hype since there are a FEW overall better(but it still comes down to personal preference) fps's out there on the pc, this kind of thread is exactly why people call halo over rated

Crysis and COD4>>>>>>>> Halo 3. You have failed for the last time... madterps

Some people don't drink, some people don't smoke, I on the other hand do not fail. Plus you brought no evidence to back up your claims.

Disagreed.

Halo 3 is better than Half Life 2, but I'm still not sure about the first Half Life.

I still don't know why people believe Half Life 2 is superior to the original. It had top notch presentation, but that was about it.

I still gave it 9.7 previously, but it just doesn't hold a candle to the original.

not really , microsoft ads had a lot to do with it, this game did an amazing feat and built this huge momentum and yes that was diserved, but people hype the game too much let me explain.

you get your hardcore Hermit who grew playng fps's, then he hears of this Awsome fps for console his friend is playng lately, he goes over to his house and give it a try, what will he reliase? well its a good game but, it seems like ive played it before, i dont get it why theres all this fuss about it.

it will disapoint him, to this guy the game wont meet the hype, sure some pc gamers can enjoy the game but it just wont meet the hype for them, and some of those who dont will start making threads about how bad the game is, when all hes tryng to say is that the game isnt that great because its been done it before.

my opinion on this franchise is that its a huge leap foward to console shooters, it can be fun but i just like pc shooters better, especially because my friends play on it so i guess that has a lot to do with it. games are a hella lot more fun if you play them with your friends, especially with vo ip

So easy to pwn you, in fact other people already pointed out games like FEARwere better in term of gameplay. Crysis has different ways to play, you can choose fastspeedand outrun people if you choose to or you can choose strength if you want to and toss a guy up in the air and shoot him. The best part of all is you get the selection to choose what you want. In Halo 3, I don't see where you have a choice to pick up a brute by hand and toss him up in the airthen shoot him while he's coming down. Or simply outrun everyone on foot then set up a point to take the enemies out.

on crysis you can attach a sniper scope to shotguns (it is less usefull then you might think, but it can be done)

[QUOTE="Spartan070"]Well I think it deserves the hype. It's an amazing AAA franchise that has a true universal appeal and breaks sales records to boot. Hype deserved imo.

So, when Yerli told us console FPSs are 5-6 years behind PC games, what he meant was this:

They've swapped a squad of soldiers for Jake Dunn with a Nano suit

And they've reduced the amount of specialized weapons to a few 'moddable' ones.

Hmm....

yes but thats my whole point, that where all this started,

a few hardcore hermits started ranting about halo 3 not being all that it is cranked up to be

hardcore lemmings got defensive and started fighing back(or vice versa any side could have trigered this) and then we had our own little chaos teory right here, more people got into it, informed people and guys with no clue what they are talking about, and system wars is pretty much a huge fanboy magnet.

there are lots of weapons on the game, and all of them are moddable, so its the contrary, also some if not most of them are specialized towards something

The way I see it, the MACs defeat the purpose of have the SMG and Shotgun, and for the most part, the Gauss Rifle. These are due to its modifications. Second, in reality, the four rifles (Assault and Sniper) have been doubled: one for the Koreans, and the other for our side. So that's just two different types of guns.

As for a modification like the scope on a shotgun, it's kinda stupid considering it is a shotgun. So if a console shooter had a scoped shotgun it's that much closer to a PC shooter?

like the crysis dev said, any console FPS is 6 years behind FPS's on PCM0rph0_o

And like I said:

If that's the case,

I feel so sorry for the Half Life series right now :(.

when halo has more than a 150 mutiplayer room like joint operations, a better story than HL2, a better AI than FEAR, and runs higher than 640P, call me.

let me guess, you think halowars is better than starcraft2? because it has the word "halo" in it?
