[QUOTE="Arjdagr8"][QUOTE="Meat_Wad_Fan"]Because my post was thought out and accurate, yours was 5 words and a slang word. Your last post just describes the reasons you don't like it, some but none of them make it casual. You can't bash a game for the reason that you suck at it.
Meat_Wad_Fan
according to you, everyone who thinks its overrated suck at it? great logic there... /sarcasm
Well everybody elses logic seems to be that the game is too casual , and is so because it is too easy. Im just stating that the game takes much skill, and that higher ranked players would wipe the floor with the people making those comments. I got a comment that CS is hardcore, and I would have a k/d ratio of -12 in my first game. Well I would hope so, since the ranking sytem is pretty non existent. There are just so many great things that Halo 3 does right, from mechanics and controls, to weapons and vehicles, user created content with forge, and the theatre mode. The game always offers something exciting and fun, and it does take a lot of skill. Don't call it casual because you play some little kids in your first matchmaking games at a low rank, because you may have the past experiences with other FPS that would naturally make you better than some noobs. Thats my logic. I can understand not liking the game if your not a big fan of FPS's, but to out right bash it and tag it casual is a bit fanboyish,
so wait, why do you say people suck at it, if they say its too easy...
its a fun game but i prefer cod4 a lot more. halo's campaign imo sucked (all three of them). i guess the way it plays im not a big fan of. i guess im less into scifi shooters.

Because they think they are good at the game, but in reality they aren't and are just playing people who are worse than them. Thats just the way the ranking sytem works in the beginning. I thought you could have figured that one out.
It's funny how people here say halo 3 is casual, but COD4 is somehow not casual... NOT.
Memo to everyone here: COD4 is not any more complicated or intruiging than halo 3. The weapons are less different from each other, every single match is grenade spamfest, and every single MP level in the game is ripped straight from the campaign. Also you can barely call the recoil in COD4 recoil that's difficult to control. It's about as difficult to control as that of an SMG in halo 3. Playing COD4 was pretty mind numbing for me (and I was usually the top player).
Another thing that strikes me: "Halo 3 is casual trash". If that's not elitism, I don't know what is. If bungie did one thing great with the halo franchise, it's making it accessible for people with hobbies besides gaming (lulz!) and making it easy for people to have fun with it. I'm sad to see that most of SW sees that as a bad thing. I actually think it's admirable, and it's the main reason why the fps genre is so popular today.
I'm not saying one game is clearly better than the other here, as it's mainly preference that counts, but it's just plain ignorant to say halo 3 is trash. The public has said otherwise, reviewers have said otherwise. It's fine if you say you clearly think COD4 or other shooters are better, but please don't tag every other opinion as just one coming from some ignorant casual.
The fact of the matter is, they are two very different games. It takes a completely different strategy to be good at CoD4 than it does on Halo 3.Erkidu

I have and I spent most of my time shooting rather then protecting the flag or delivering a bomb. the only gametype that Is tactical IMO is the one were you dont have a reticle and the nullets do alot more damage I forgot what it was called :PI could never get into COD4's MP, so I like Halo 3's better. But yeah thats just my oppinion.
if anyone is interested, ive had Hands on Time with the Legendary Map Pack, and have written a hands on preview. Click the Green picture in my Sig, for a link, or go to my GS blog.

Good job do you want a cookie for making an ASSumption about me or for you just making an ass of yourself. Where did I say I was hermit??? Where did I say that all console shooters suck??? Stop making ASSumptions about people when you obviously have no idea what your talking about.
The funny thing I grew up on consoles NES, SNES, saturn, genesis, dreamcast, 64, PS1, PS2, and 360. Ive console gamed for longer than I have PC gamed.

You can be a hermit and not hate other consoles. Your posts were pretty smart untill you said "Halo takes strategy???". :| Now you've given reason to believe that your just a hater. Whats your gamertag?[QUOTE="thrones"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"][QUOTE="thrones"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"]Halo 3 >>>>> CoD4 MP because its actully not a repetitive unoriginal snorfest.
Gh0st_Of_0nyx
Halo 3 was as original as my essay on my hero from year 3.
What ???Anyways please show me how CoD4 is a big step ahead of Cod2 in MP department because I just see an updated unbalanced game with SP rip-off levels.
Show me how Halo 3 was better than Halo 2.
Equipment? lulz.
Thats an easy one :lol:Assault rifles back
Battle rifle takes skill not auot aim
More ORIGINAL levels
new vehicles like the mongoose and brute shooper
FORGE
permutations on your spartans armor
better macthmaking
More maps
all the weapons are more balanced
Sword clashes
Less auto aim
Better networking
Equipement
Shall I go on or you wana keep on making ridiculous statments ?
Battle Rifle takes skill? Autoaim? LoL
And don't even try and say the weapons are balanced,Halo is the most unbalanced MP shooter I've played in a long time. Run into a fight,assault rifle spray,melee,whoever is more lucky will win. OR,see and enemy,run at them,whoever has the biggest gun wins.
Forge? LoL can we have a freeze button please?
Anyway both games aren't that great,especially compared to Team Fortress 2 (PC),Counter-Strike or Battlefield 2.

Hes obviously prouder of his PC gaming than his console gaming, looks like he just wanted to put ASSumption in a post alot becuse it has a naughty word at the start. HE'S SO CLEVER!

[QUOTE="MRwhatsisname"]I guess its cool for hating on things that are popular. Im not saying call of duty isnt but, its not as mainstream as halo. If it wasnt for the series, xbox 360 probably wouldnt even exist. so Halo 2>call of duty 2>halo 3>call of duty 4dotWithShoes
So says the Halo fan.
Oh, yeah, because all the people who say Call of Duty 4 is better then Halo, aren't Call of Duty 4 fans! No way, that wouldn't make sense. They were all in fact Halo fans. So, you have a great point.

Its all down to personal opinion.
In my opinion Team Fortress 2 blows them both out of the water. But remember its my opinion. :)
Jeimseu
Thank you, someone who appreciates Team Fortress 2! Although I disagree its better than COD4, like you said we can all have different opinions.
Agreed.Halo 3 is far superior to COD4.
Halo 3 actually has competetant offline MP. COD4 can't even do more than one person per screen with System link and you can't custimize your perks with Split screen. Which leaves only online MP, which COD4 does fairly well, until you realize all you do is see people using martyrdom and M16's. It is far from balanced.

Well if they were player matches then I can see how you would say that it doesn't take strategy because most people in player matches just play with friends that don't know what they're doing.[QUOTE="Killfox"]No wonder I can't find you on Bungie.net...>.> your gamercard says you've never played Halo 3.

I agree it is overrated but, why so much hate for the game. also i am way better at call of duty 4 than halo 3. its just that i am more into hardcore shooters and call of duty feels like a cusual game where everyone can easily pick it up and play. MRwhatsisname
Halo 3 had a horrible story it's the same freakin game over and over with a little bit added on... Graphics arent up to par with the ratings it got for an overrated game. Halo 3 is a good game it's just that it's overrated and all it is is an alright decent good game... I'd give it a 7.7/10
I guess its cool for hating on things that are popular. Im not saying call of duty isnt but, its not as mainstream as halo. If it wasnt for the series, xbox 360 probably wouldnt even exist. so Halo 2>call of duty 2>halo 3>call of duty 4MRwhatsisname
lol the way i see it
CoD2>CoD4>over all halos..
1 thing for sure that COD4 beats Halo 3 at, overratedness. My God, the sheer ammounts of people kissing COD4's balls because Halo 3 is not on their desired platform is amazing. *Goes back to playing Halo CE PC*Pro_wrestlerum...no its actually better. imo of course

This may sound harsh but...I don't care for your opinion. :(Sorry.

The online multiplayer is MORE MAINSTREAM than Halo. And this is particularly funny because although CoD4 has sold very well, it hasn't come close to the sales numbers of Halo 3. Yet, it is STILL more popular online than Halo 3.
