Halo 3 vs. MW2

So, recently there's been the discussion that Halo is simply a casual game designed for casual gamers.

There's also been claims that MW2 is a much more 'core' game.

But what does SW think?

Is Halo a casual game?

Is MW2 a casual game?

who called MW2 a core game?

who called MW2 a core game?

Oh... must have missed it. *leaves to find thread*

hmm, probably halo. but both obviously take skill.

A thread made in response to a troll thread...

Oh, how I love this picture.

Halo takes much more skill then MW2, but thats not saying much.

no point in making thread responses, TC.

but Halo takes more skill by miles. most people choosing 2nd/3rd are probably trying to sabotage the poll. good luck to them.

The discussion was if Halo was Casual or not... SOmeone said MW2 was Casual but Halo wasn't... Your poll doesn't really reflect that discusion. And we already know every Halo Fanboy will vote in Halo's favor no matter what.. And by the looks of it SW is FULL of them... I fyou don't think Halo is casual friendly your simply wrong and a small internet minority.FriendlyGaimz

just like every anti-Halo person will vote the other two options, and there's probably more of those people.

casual friendly? I wouldn't say that, but it appeals to every crowd. and it does it 'right'

it's at least a step above that, because casuals will be punished by the game. more-so than MW2.

lol. how should I respond?

this is from personal experience, are you telling me I'm lying about my time spent playing both games? I'm not going to give you a biography on my experiences, but Halo was a more punishing game, and I'm nowhere close to having it mastered in any way, shape or form.

besides, I'm not saying it takes the most skill of any game(Shadowrun wins this, on consoles:D). it just takes A LOT more of everything compared to MW2;)

[QUOTE="FriendlyGaimz"] You should be modded for lieing... Halo does not take more skill then MW2, it's takes different skill. MW2 is reflexes, precision, timing. Halo is accuracy and team work... You Halo fans are form another planet...FriendlyGaimz

I own both games as well.:|

I guess we're at a standstill.

Halo 3 is WAY better than Modern Warfare 2 in my opinion. Also it seems that all the 8 year olds have migrated from H3 to MW2, so its pretty safe to play now.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="FriendlyGaimz"] I never said casual was bad. Halo fanboys assumed that and fought against the label even though it a widely accepted lable for the halo franchise. That's all there is to it. Defensive fans...FriendlyGaimz

connotations differ, and in the wondeful world of system wars, you never know what something might mean to another person.

I agree with your statement, but I stand by Halo taking more skill and it being a more punishing game, core vs. casual(the original topic, I'm not going to sift through the thread this is a response to). it doesn't cater to the casual crowd in ways that anyone can be good at it right off the bat.

that's what I can describe MW2 as....because I had no trouble mastering it and it was the first COD game I've ever owned/played. I'm stating my opinions based on my experiences, just not seeing how I'm a liar for doing so:?
