the covenant civil war had very little impact:?:

gamedude234

actually, you can't really sit out fights because as soon as enemys see you, they focus on YOU.

and having elites fight by your side is a diffenret perspective(and its awesome!:P)

and brutes are quite different from elites...

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Other than changing your main foes to Brutes, having elites fight on your side and choosing which side to take throughout the latter part of Halo 2, or even sitting out fights entirely as the covenant kill each other.

which caharcter you knew nothing about died in halo 2and was made a big deal of?

and the writers didn't give any reason tocare whether there was a civil war or not? have you played the level high charity?

I can't remember the names of levels for any game. Is high charity the one in Halo 2 were you need to stop one of the Prophets from escaping? I mentioned that earlier that I kinda like what they were trying to do but most of the time it just seemed to fall flat on its face.

They could show every single elite being killed and I really wouldnt care.

[QUOTE="gamedude234"]

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]It was kinda predictable (in Halo 2 not 1) and the writers didn't give me any reasons to care if they have a civil war. Its like trying to make a big deal about a character you know nothing about dying *cough* gears of war 2 *cough*toast_burner

P.S. Half Life is PC exclusive. Get your sarcastic remarks in order before using them. Half Life 2 isn't exclusive, but Half Life is.

As a Halo fan I have to say Halo has a really rich universe but the games interprets it wrong. It has more depth then a typical story humans being invaded by aliens but not too many people see that.

I love Halo, played Halo 3 til... well my friends and I still play Halo 3 once in awhile. Reach will surely replace that.

But best FPS ever? I don't know... it's all subjective, opinions, etc. But I can think of a ton of FPS games that are better than Halo. But in local multiplayer "kill your friends and have a blast", Halo is king.

i know they're exellent games, its just that theres this:

I wouldn't be too proud of the X360 version of Team Fortress 2, big guy. I played it for a long time and it was fun, but then I got it for the PC and it was an entirely different experience. So I don't consider the X360 to have the full Team Fortress 2 experience.

As for Halo: Reach. It will probably be my favorite FPS, at least I hope so. Everything about it looks fantastic and there's still much we don't know.

[QUOTE="RadecSupreme"]

Not really. It does look like a high quality top notch game but unfortunately paying 60 dollars for it doesnt allow me to play its multiplayer component so I am still not buying it.

hope that helps:) you can order it from america if you need to.

That is a fantastic offer. Too bad I would still be required to pay 50 dollars for a year to play it online......

[QUOTE="Eggimannd"]

Well I found Half-Life 2 to be a much superior game to the Halo series and I don't think Halo Reach will make me think otherwise...

siddhu33

I don't.

Apart from the section withthe supergravity gun, whichwas one of the most fun and rewarding sections in FPS games,Half Life 2 felt really boring to me.

I don't know, maybe because my mood wasn't correct, or whatever, but it just fealt like a constant set of hallways, one after the other. The combine felt like a constant stream of bots to kill, and if it wasn't for Alyx and Gman, the supporting cast won't be anything spectacular.

The actual guns also kinda felt boring too. I don't know how I can quantifiably explain this though.

And the fact that Gordon Freeman is a mute does not help, and it really did not put me in that position either.

It has a very different pace than Halo which I appreciated a lot. It felt like it had a LOT more depth than Halo which really felt like a mindless "fun" shooter to me.

I think it'll be one of my favorites. The beta was so much fun. So much fun. Like Halo CE fun.

Haloo reachhhh is going to be realy BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

All the Halo games have had a terrible story, I doubt Reach will break that tradition

It will have good gameplay and Maps

The weapons will probably be interesting

Forge needs to be at least 500 times better then Halo 3's forge in order to be decent

I think it is looking great, but I do not see it being the best FPS ever released. I can see how it would be a lot of people's favorite FPS though.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]What is the story about exactly? I'm curious.

Mass Effect had a great story it had a few low points but over all it was very good.

It's plausible, Bungie sure are talented. It's a toss up between Halo: CE, and Half-Life for best ever right now fo me, so I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie delivers again a phenomenal experience.

And it's funny how you mention ME (Which I happen to like a lot. Sorry I broke that little theory you tried to test.) when it shares ALOT of similarities with Halo.

That means we all win. No?musicalmac

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

[QUOTE="Firelore29"] I agree 100% with what he said. I played thru Halo 3 and was dumb founded by how bad it was. It kept switching between characters and never got interesting. It was just boring. If you want to see a good story check out Mass Effect 1 or 2 or Heavy Rain or well...something else.toast_burner

I really like Halo, but none of them will ever be the top dog of FPSs.

Your right he should have specified Console FPS in which case it IS the best FPS, by majority of gaming sites ratings. :)

[QUOTE="enterawesome"][QUOTE="TheGreatOutdoor"]No, games like Crysis, the Stalker series, Call of Duty 1 and 2 (not these newer crappier console modern warfare versions), Half Life 2 cinematic mod (and many many many many other free mods). If I felt like putting more thought into it, I know I could list many more awesome FPS that console gamings have and will continue to miss out on.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

[QUOTE="toast_burner"] It share alot but it does a much better job at it. Both games involve alien races and a returning race that will destroy the universe. but the similarties end there. Mass effect goes into much more deph and has much more interesting characters/racestoast_burner

EDIT: I havent read most posts in this topic so I missed it. Do you really want me to tell you the whole story? thats pretty pathetic
