Call of Duty 4 got more Game of the Year nods total than any game. I'm not saying Gamespot, as they were crazy to give it to Mario Galaxy.

And since you MUST be right, I guess they are getting ahead of themselves releasing the Call of Duty 4 Game of the Year edition. Go crawl back in your hole.

Call of Duty 4 is the most overrated game on system ward im not a big fan of Halo 3 but COD 4 is just laughable in comparison to Halo

Multiplayer

Halo has vechiles

Halo has forge

Halo has theatre

Halo has a better matchingmaking system

CoD only has a good rpg typish ranking system

Single Player

Both of them have mediocre single players at best

I don't want to upset any Half life 2 fans but I did play through the Orange box and didn't think it was all that :( I finished both Half life 2, Episode 1, Portal, and while they were failry enjoyable, I couldn't help but feel they were not as good as I thought they were going to be, pretty standard imo. I stopped about a hour into Episode 2 as I lost the will to carry on, and that was that...

Not bad games, but not great either.

i dont care how many awards it won CoD 4 is praised more than any other CoD game and it's the same thing as the other games just in a Modern setting, I cant believe im saying this but atleast Halo brought a couple new things to the series

Halo 2 and Halo 3 both lost to Half-Life 2 and Crysis when it came to shooters of the year.. To make it even funnier, Half-Life 2 got a 92% and won over Halo 2's 97%.. I think that says something about different standards.

First off, looking at ratings from a review site is grasping at straws and really is a poor way of judging games. Anybody who tries to use ratings to justify their message is probably hiding something and, clearly, this is the case.

Halo 3 does nothing new, it's not even remotely innovative. What aspect of Halo hasn't been done before?

It's also widely accepted that shooters are superior on PC, it's pathetic to argue otherwise and you'll find yourself in the extreme minority.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but those who think Halo3 > Half-Life 2 are in the minority, as any poll would show.

HL2 on the 360 was crippled compared to the PC. That is a start for where us "hermits" base all this off of.

The things that dragged down Half life 2 for me were the never ending dull driving sections, the AI of your allies, dumb as ****, didn't really like any of the characters to be honest, and episode 1 felt rushed and wasn't that much fun (mostly dark corridors) But I really liked the physics, guns were fun to shoot, that robot dog was cool, fighting the choppers and walkers was cool, Ravenhorn was very atmospheric. Portal was just ok for me, nice idea, but not that fun. I see little use for a portal gun in real games, to over powered. Not a fan of team based shooters so passed on TF2,

I would score Orange box 8.0 overall.

Harsh maybe but we can't all love the same things.

Hermits pretend they have the best FPSs, but they don't. The only notable shooters they even have left is STALKER (Stupid) and Crysis (Overrated).

Half Life kills Halo in every sense:

Melee Combat in Halo sucked

Graphics in Halo sucked big baby chunks.

Gameplay was good

Online was good

5 hour Campaign - OMG, what the hell?(normal mode ofcourse)

Sucky story - Yes

Linear

.....why did this game get 9+ ??

Seriously, Stalker, Half Life, and Crysis blow any FPS on consoles at the mo. PERIOD!

yeah halo 3 has better single player (at least for me) but when it comes to multiplayer, TF2 is one of the greatest mp game ever and halo 3's mp doesnt even come close to TF2, but it looks like ur comparing only HL2 to Halo 3 so ummm change The Overrated Box to Overrated Life 2 :P

Hard to beleive people would compare HL with Halo

HL is a FPS with an awesome story while Halo is a FPS where you're considered hardcore if you remember the main character is not called "Halo"

Halo is a great game but is not in the same league of HL

[QUOTE="platinumxofhell"]Can't wait to play Halo 3 in 680p!!11KittyKatB

Halo 3 runs at 640p actually.

Yep. Also, notice how no lemmings complain about this. But with other games that run less than 720p, many seem to throw a fit and complain on system wars. I always wonder why teh Halo 3 is beyond criticism.

Always pretending that amazing graphics can save the horrible game play, like Crysis.

You know, poo looks like it'd be really good to eat. Too bad it tastes like crap.

You know, Crysis "looks" like it'd be a fun game to play. Too bad it plays like crap.

You haven't even played it, kid (yeah you said you were 12 :lol:). I'm so sorry your parents bought you a crap computer that can't even run it. Instead of being here, why don't you read a book, so maybe you can have a decent job in the future.

We have a new official resident troll.

I got Halo 3 a while ago, back when it came out. I haven't played it since I got it, because I haven't been compelled to "finish the fight." IMO, Halo 3 is overrated. I haven't played Orange Box, so I can't really comment about whether or not it's overrated, but I was always looking forward to it more than Halo 3. It just looked like it offered a lot more than Halo 3. Right now I'm too busy to get it, but I do plan to get OB this summer.

You do know that the standards for PC are ridiculously higher than the standards for the 360?

A game scored slightly higher with lower expectations.

Obviously it's a better game?

crysis would still owns all consoe fps with farcry graphics. yes the graphics are nice but the gameplay is 75% of what makes the game so much fun, open level design owns liner levels 100x over

/thread

SouljaBoyHater

explain to me what makes it better? read the reviews of both and tell me what's better. scores don't mean much.

the bad of halo3 AI-controlled Marines can't drive to save their lives (or yours). the bad of crysis The single-player story ends, now tell me how crysis is worse?

...All you did was state a bunch of opinions without any real evidence to back up what you said.

Face it, Hermits, you guys have nothing on Halo 3. Crysis only got a 9.4 on IGN, while Halo 3 got a 9.5!

Crysis also got shooter GOTY here.

Well, I beat HL2 and both episodes. I was left with a huge craving for more action and less puzzles and story elements. HL has a great story and puzzles, don't get me wrong, but I was kinda bored while playing it most of the time. I love just playing Halo online with all my buds.
