Ive recently played through Crysis Warhead, and the SHOOTER part of that game is second to none, its fantastic, D1zzyCriminal

I agree, Warhead (and Crysis) are truly fantastic in this department. Especially on Delta difficulty the game is very challenging and rewarding.

The strength of games such as Crysis is that, while their content may not be anywhere near as overwhelming as Halo's an sich, the gameplay is so inuitive, varied, and dynamic, that it's enough to give the game a lasting value that well exceeds most other shooters this gen.

Not even close. I beat the game in about 5 and a half hours and haven't touched it since. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, but it's not nearly as good as people are making it out to be.

waltefmoney

So you haven't tried the multiplayer?

I did. It was fun but it felt too much like Halo 3. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Ever since I got halo reach. I have never been able to put it down. I'd say its the only fps shooter I will ever need for the rest of this generation. It has so much replay value. I dont think I will need to come back to system wars ever againbecause halo reach won the war for me.

You don't need to say "shooter" at the end of "fps" as the "s" stands for shooter. So you're just saying "First Person Shooter shooter".

Just thought I'd let you know :P

As far as SP goes I believe Bioshock,STALKER and Crysis are better.

I don´t really care about the MP but there´s CSS and TF2.

Then again,I haven´t played Reach so take that with a grain of salt.:P

You see my point! good man. I admire Halo for its vast amount of tools and scope it gives you. But I would rather have all of that in another game that isnt so... meh.

Lets just think what would happen if we gave Gears Of War or Killzone, Forge, cinema and a Wave modefirst. Would Halo still even be recognised? Probably, because more effort goes into plugging Halo than most other anything ever. But apart from that...

Even if you strip away all the tools and options it gives you, Halo is still one of the best FPS and has some of the best gunplay, balancing, variety and controls.

Nah, the campaign from what I played so far is pretty boring but granted I'm only 4 missions in. The multiplayer has issues as well. The maps too large in scale for the amount of players it supports which also hinders the ability to find the weapons on the map and players in general, I've hated since Halo 3 how the playlists and voting dictate everything when I just want to play Slayer where as in other FPS I just select the mode and that's what I can play all the time, the abliity system while good some abilites are poorly implemented like Camo.

Ok, have it your way. Btw, while you're at it, you might wanna add how MW2 is the most non-casual skill-based FPS.

To show you that the better FPS last longer. Reach will be forgotten in 3-4 years or as soon as the next gen consoles are released.

It is indeed a very good game. Any other FPS' that are better than it this gen? I can't really think of one.xTheExploited

Let me try...UT3,L4D,R6V,KZ2,...I can name a few more if you would like? I have not played Halo Reach, but I have played all the others and bought them day one launch. NONE of them have been as good as Halo CE. Halo CE is still GOD of Halo games.

You do. The topic you linked compared Reach multiplayer vs TF2 multiplayer. Not Reach as an overall FPS vs TF2 as an overall FPS. Plus we both know how credible topics like that are..

As an overall FPS Doom 1, Quake 2, and Killzone 2 are better imo. But that's just my opinions, I won't start a thread stating them as facts because that's even more stupid than poll here.

Ever since I got halo reach. I have never been able to put it down. I'd say its the only fps shooter I will ever need for the rest of this generation. It has so much replay value. I dont think I will need to come back to system wars ever againbecause halo reach won the war for me.

Preachy? Not really , just giving my opinion on something I know a little about. I did actually watch my oldest boy and his friend playing Halo Reach this weekend. So I at least "watched" it. And besides dont most people give opinions before knowing anything at all..;)

I kinda agree. COD4 and Halo reach are my two favourite FPS shooters this gen. I can't really separate them, so i'm going to say Reach is the best Sci-fi shooter i've ever played.

Sequence of 'best' shooter threads: Best multiplayer shooter, best singleplayer shooter, best shooter, best overall package and so on. Problem is as the argument changes different games keep fitting the bill over others. aaand so the cycle continues.

whats even funnier are the "hype" polls where people vote lower than what they really think / hope / want the game will get, so it doesn't count as a flop. probably started after lair took that massive fall with the 4.5 was it?

sts106mat
Or people who vote ridiculously high scores in order to increase it's chances of 'flopping'? It all really does work both ways, but people happily pick exclusive ideas of polls depending on results.

You named several games you believe to be better than a game you concede you have not played. How does that work? :|

Ever since YOU got it does not make it the best shooter. It's a great game, but not the best. And don't come to SW until next month; try proving it.
