[QUOTE="acekicka"]Halo and Half-Life, what else is there, lol. :PPotatoSan

Far Cry, Numbnuts.

Seriously, I used to own the 360 and I finished the halo single player but just couldn't bring myself to finish the halo 2 single player. Its just was not as good. Halo is good, Halo 2 not as good.

Half Life beats both.

This way of thinking annoys me, a lot. Halo 2 didn't just have single player. You can't assume that everybody likes single player more than multiplayer. As far as I'm concerned, Halo 2 was basically a multiplayer game. And a really fun one.

I was explaining why I don't think that halo is the second coming. Its multiplayer is good, maybe great, but the single player is seriously lacking. And guess what they hype, single player.

Buts its not just a mulitiplayer game.

[QUOTE="Shinno441"]I don't like how most lemmings act as if Halo is the best game ever.Truth be told it's not. Then after bashing other solid franchises and saying they suck or they should die, you say "buh but, what in god's name? how... how the holy hell could you bash Halo?!?!" If you can bash Mario and Jak and Metroid andHalf-Life and all the other great games out there(go ahead and take killzone, no one gives a damn) then I think hermits, sheep, cows and even some shemmings such as myself who are discusted by the hipocrisy can bash halo.astiop

1. They don't. Not even 1/4th of them...

2. We know.

3. Yeeaa, only lemmings do that (and not as many as you would like to believe, especialy half-life 2... If you want a series that lemmings bash the most pick final fantasy, not games that don't apply). And that realy isn't the reason behind all the halo bashing and thats painfully obvious. "discusted by the hipocrisy" give me a break. You bash halo and then say that? Whos the hipocrit now, really?

So I can't bash Halo without being a hipocrit? According to your logic and that last sentence we have to like Halo or we're hipocrits. I'm not jealous of Halo. I can play it whenever I want because my siblings play it almost every freaking night. So yeah I've played Halo and I don't like it. Hell I barely like FPS in general, the only ones I'm looking into are Bioshock and Metroid. So no I'm not a hipocrit, I just don't like Halo and I have seen MANY examples of Lemmings saying we shouldn't bash Halo including you.

I despise Halo. Its boring, unimaginative, extremely derivative gameplay, level, weapon and character design bores me to death. I can recognise that people can and do enjoy it though. I don't. I feel according to my tastes that it is one of the most overrated games to ever be released into the gaming market.foxhound_fox
How can you make fun of Halo's gameplay when you are a Bioshock lover? To stay alive in the demo, all there is to it is shock and kill the crappy AI that pretty much runs directly at you (reminded me of Oblivion). I did not see a single enemy take cover. As far as weapons, there was a wrench, a pistol, and a machine gun. And the end of the demo trailer showed that there would be a rocket launcher that would not be challenging to use (extreme lock on). Oh, and magic/spells like shooting flames (never seen that before eh?).

You probably will want to argue that you can shock the water to electrecute all enemies in the water, but that really isn't exciting at all. I remember in the demo there were a couple enemies who seemed determined to stay in the water so you could shock the water and kill them. I ended up just shooting them with the machine gun.

You can despise Halo so I can despise Bioshock.

[QUOTE="LinKuei_warrior"]dont worry.biased opinions shroud the real overrated gamesfoxhound_fox


I don't have a biased opinion I have just an opinion like everyone else. I wish I could enjoy Halo and be a part of the amazing community... I just can't. I don't know exactly why but the reasons I listed are most likely the case. Not everyone should enjoy a certain game, then their would be no diversity among games or gamers.

ok then..another predictable response to halo shrouds the real overrated games

9.7 and 9.4 are not considered mediocre. 5.0-5.9 are considered mediocre. By what Gamespot says, Halo CE and Halo 2 are "superb" games and no fanboy can say anything to belittle what Gamespot's final judgement is.

I don't see people raving about Halo2's campaign mode. I do know that there have been 612,259 Halo 2 ranked matches recorded in the last 24 hours.

Half Life 2 > Halo, and i have both halo for xbox and half life for PC

Halo is overrated, the first halo blew me away because it rivaled goldeneye with the 4 player stuff and it was just flat out fun, then it got old pretty fast

shadyd1717
Half-Life 2 pales in comparison to either Halo game. Half-Life had a story that consisted of a bunch of different enemies all strewn together on a post-apocalyptic world where conformity is enforced and the masses are ruled with an iron fist. It's story was so shoddy I often found myself laughing. I didn't know what I was playing half of the time. I thought at first it was 1984, the Combine, seemingly human has a complete authoritarian control over these cities. Then I thought, oh no, wait I'm playing another run of the mill, 'Take Down the Oppressive Government' game. But it got better. As everything seemed to fall in place, I was given not only a 'power suit' *yawn*, led on to believe I knew what the hell really happened in Half-Life, but I was also assaulted by 'head-crabs'. These lovely little things turned people into zombies before my eyes. Alright, so that was weird enough, but then there were these bugs who came out of the ground *yawn* (Starship Troopers anyone), and of course it wouldn't have been complete without flying machines who either took your picture, or sliced you up with tiny blades. Terrible story compared to Halo. The gameplay wasn't overly fun, the guns weren't great, the characters were forgettable, the A.I. was dumb, the vehicles were terrible, and worst of all, the puzzles slowed the pace to a crawl and really, got old. It did have a great atmosphere, graphics and revolutionary physics, but other than that, Half-Life 2 isn't all that amazing when you get past the basics. Halo on the other hand, has depth.

Poor level design and weapons ruined what could have been a great game for me although the story, setting and characters set it apart from many other FPS. Imo I think it would be more enjoyable as a comic book then a game.

So did you actually play the game, with that burning loathing within you the whole time, or did you just decide to forgo that part?mijkil


I gave both games several objective opportunities on several occasions over the past few years. I nearly made it all the way through Halo 2 and only made it up to the Library in Halo. I just couldn't force myself to go any further. It felt like I was torturing myself. I did however find the Arbiter's levels in Halo 2 enjoyable, along with his plot line.

There are more weapons in Halo that you don't spray with than ones that you spray with, and you don't have to pray for the ones you spray with do to hit something. You don't shoot at a guy across the map with an SMG in Halo like you might do in CS, because one or two lucky hits won't do any damage.

halo is so mediocre, that every fps of the past 5 years has been compared to it. so mediocre that it single handedly kept the xbox alive. so mediocre that its still talked about, played, and hated on even today.

what a mediocre game.

but in CS you actually need to be good and know how to aim and take in the fact of recoil and other such stuff. In halo online you got a gun and a bunch of people running everywer with bullets flying. even if its not all spray and pray it definetly doesnt take that much skill or time to get good at it.

I never said that the other fanboys didn't do this, but looking at the thread title we seem to be in a thread about Halo, if this were a thread about Mario or Heavenly Sword or LBP then I would be doing the same thing, because that's what all FANBOYS do. Also, I'm saying the lemmings that do bash and then turn around and act as if bashing halo is a crime. My point wasn't that they can't bash and then defend without being hipocrits my point was that I've seen many lemmings say it's impossible to bash halo and act as if it's a crime, I'm insulting the specific fanboys not the sensible console supporters.

A trained super-soldier can't handle a wee SMG? The recoil isn't going to be ridiculous. That would... well, be ridiculous!

Yes. Co-op in both games and it was exactly the same. The multiplayer was somewhat enjoyable but the weapon design was what killed it for me. I prefer playing multiplayer shooters with interesting weapons. Halo 3 looks as if the weapon design has been improved significantly.


How can you make fun of Halo's gameplay when you are a Bioshock lover? To stay alive in the demo, all there is to it is shock and kill the crappy AI that pretty much runs directly at you (reminded me of Oblivion). I did not see a single enemy take cover. As far as weapons, there was a wrench, a pistol, and a machine gun. And the end of the demo trailer showed that there would be a rocket launcher that would not be challenging to use (extreme lock on). Oh, and magic/spells like shooting flames (never seen that before eh?).

You probably will want to argue that you can shock the water to electrecute all enemies in the water, but that really isn't exciting at all. I remember in the demo there were a couple enemies who seemed determined to stay in the water so you could shock the water and kill them. I ended up just shooting them with the machine gun.

You can despise Halo so I can despise Bioshock.PotatoSan



Have you actually played Bioshock or are you just saying you have? The enemies don't need to take cover when they are freaked out on plasmids and trying to slice out your guts. All the weapons in Bioshock are completely customizable as well as giving you the ability to make your own custom ammunition. The PC version of Bioshock is not going to have any lock-on whatsoever as well as a much more intuitive and faster control interface. And the modification on the grenade launcher was a homing missile... OF COURSE ITS GOING TO LOCK ON. There are 30 plasmids in the game... that takes gameplay options and throws them into and infinite gameplay multiplier. One of the developers said that for every situation in a level there will be at least 4 or 5 different was of dealing with it. I believe that same developer also said, beyond the first level, running and gunning will get you killed nearly 100% of the time.

Bioshock's design shames Halo in every way. It literally is "putting a stake in the heart of all those cliches" of the FPS genre. Play the full game before you judge it. Try playing through the whole game on Hard and telling me its easier to "just shoot them" instead of having to use your brain.

I could see if you don't find the setting or story appealing, but saying Bioshock is equal to or even lesser than Halo is completely unfounded. Bioshock is changing how we look at First Person shooters, Halo 3 is just doing what it does best... recycling previously innovated gameplay elements and cramming them all into one well polished package.

[QUOTE="astiop"][QUOTE="Shinno441"][QUOTE="astiop"]

[QUOTE="Shinno441"]I don't like how most lemmings act as if Halo is the best game ever.Truth be told it's not. Then after bashing other solid franchises and saying they suck or they should die, you say "buh but, what in god's name? how... how the holy hell could you bash Halo?!?!" If you can bash Mario and Jak and Metroid andHalf-Life and all the other great games out there(go ahead and take killzone, no one gives a damn) then I think hermits, sheep, cows and even some shemmings such as myself who are discusted by the hipocrisy can bash halo.Shinno441

1. They don't. Not even 1/4th of them...

2. We know.

3. Yeeaa, only lemmings do that (and not as many as you would like to believe, especialy half-life 2... If you want a series that lemmings bash the most pick final fantasy, not games that don't apply). And that realy isn't the reason behind all the halo bashing and thats painfully obvious. "discusted by the hipocrisy" give me a break. You bash halo and then say that? Whos the hipocrit now, really?

So I can't bash Halo without being a hipocrit? According to your logic and that last sentence we have to like Halo or we're hipocrits. I'm not jealous of Halo. I can play it whenever I want because my siblings play it almost every freaking night. So yeah I've played Halo and I don't like it. Hell I barely like FPS in general, the only ones I'm looking into are Bioshock and Metroid. So no I'm not a hipocrit, I just don't like Halo and I have seen MANY examples of Lemmings saying we shouldn't bash Halo including you.

So lemmings can't bash other games without being hipocrits? Are you serious? You say lemmings are hypocrits when they bash other games but defend halo yet who doesn't? Foxhound just bashed halo but I don't mind, it's his opinnion and he stated so. But a lot of people that bash halo never even played the game and thats too obvious yet you go ahead and only call lemmings hypocrits and think thats the reason people bash halo...

When you defend games others bash and call them hipocrits for defending a game they love yet you do the same then yes, you are being a hipocrit.

I never said that the other fanboys didn't do this, but looking at the thread title we seem to be in a thread about Halo, if this were a thread about Mario or Heavenly Sword or LBP then I would be doing the same thing, because that's what all FANBOYS do. Also, I'm saying the lemmings that do bash and then turn around and act as if bashing halo is a crime. My point wasn't that they can't bash and then defend without being hipocrits my point was that I've seen many lemmings say it's impossible to bash halo and act as if it's a crime, I'm insulting the specific fanboys not the sensible console supporters.

Fine I agree for the most part, but I'm still not convinced on this part "then I think hermits, sheep, cows and even some shemmings such as myself who are discusted by the hipocrisy can bash halo."

Because if you were so discusted by that and felt you needed to bash halo for that reason, then you would be bashing a lot of games on system wars :p

obviously ther is a certain ammount but its not that big, well to me its not that big recoil i can keep shooting at 1 guy and it wont suddenly burst off into another directionGarchomPro

That's exactly what it does with the SMG, if you just hold down the trigger you will quickly find yourself shooting the ceiling.

Halo is played out and should have stopped at Halo 1.XFLOP2

Righty then. You are definitely in the minority. However, considering your username and everything else, I would just call you a flamebaiting troll.

Halo is one of the best FPS franchises and the best on consoles. Fanboys always wish for their Halo killer and that shows how jealous they are. BioShockOwnz
Nice post, straight to the point, nothing but cold hard facts. No wonder you were picked as a top poster in SW's. Good job!

We don't say Halo is mediocre, because it isn't. It's just a plain good game and nothing else.....at all.

I've recently started playing Halo:CE on my 360 lately. I have to say that it's still my favorite FPS of all time. HL2 is a very close 2nd. There's just so much going on. I'm still amazed at the level of the A.I. Bungie was able to squeeze out of the first Xbox. Everything controls well, the level design is genious and the weapons are well balanced and fun to use. Not to mention all of the holy s*** moments that come from fighting against the Flood.

[QUOTE="PotatoSan"][QUOTE="GarchomPro"]Its my opinion, and i think halo is nothing special, and before you criticize me, i have played online quite alot and multiplayer split screen and the campaign, and i can safely say its nothing special, il even go and say its all spray and pray.GarchomPro
There are more weapons in Halo that you don't spray with than ones that you spray with, and you don't have to pray for the ones you spray with do to hit something. You don't shoot at a guy across the map with an SMG in Halo like you might do in CS, because one or two lucky hits won't do any damage.



but in CS you actually need to be good and know how to aim and take in the fact of recoil and other such stuff. In halo online you got a gun and a bunch of people running everywer with bullets flying. even if its not all spray and pray it definetly doesnt take that much skill or time to get good at it.



k play me in halo 2, i'll destroy you in a couple mins.

Halo takes no skill right? so we should tie...

Halo is good on consoles but on PC its mediocre. FPS on PC rulez. Half-Life, Farcry and now Crysis are all better games than Halo.

Gamespot greatest FPS of all time on PCs.

Second time I'm asking you:

Where the hell were you when I made the Half Life 2 thread? After 7 pages, you didn't even show up.

Methinks the debate was much too big for you to grasp ;).

And, as I said, you should thank skrat in your sig for at the very least, justifying the use of your sig.

maybe they got lower scores because they didnt update the graphics and came out 3 years later, after technology had advanced? oh wait...logic doesnt count for anything in System Wars.

Halo 1 came out 2 years after it came out on Xbox.

Halo 2 came out 3 years after it came out on Xbox.

News flash: standards evolve over time.
