Planetside 2 is honestly going to make Halo look and seem ancient with 500 v 500 battles, adaptive gameplay that changes on the fly, and arsenal of weapons. Visually, Halo 4 is already ancient to this game.

They're both very different beasts. It makes no sense to compare them. They're both day one purchases for me.

Halo is a good series, it probably does splitscreen and matchmaking better then any other game. I'd say the multiplayer and campaign are a bit "meh", but the co-op is great fun and the multiplayer is hectic (if a bit unbalanced and old fashioned).

But you can't really compare them, and neither are out yet. Personally I'm way more excited for Planetside 2, since I'm tired of so much Halo and don't know if 343 can bring back the Bungie goodness we saw before, but Planetside 2 is MASSIVE and beautiful and also free.

Hell yeah. BF3 has an identity crisis going on. It is half built for the consoles, half built for the PC, thus it suffers on both platforms in different areas.

After reading on Planetside 2 I am convinced they are 2 different games. But to be honest there is not a better universe in FPS's than Halo. So no FPS actually outclasses it. Halo has its own look, feel, and already put its mark in History. Sales, reviews, and the number of players who still play the game verifies that.

This is something new to System Wars. It is called logic and using a logical answer and response. It is a statement of fact.

Perhaps waiting for it to actually release would be smart before making an ignorant claim. Just a thought. The last Planetside released almost a decade ago? We know the Halo formula. Pretty sad when mods that are a level 70 have joined the troll club. Not really shocked.

Sorry. Everything I said was true. I am not the moron saying an unreleased sequel to a game that was released forever ago will outclass the most popular FPS this decade. The smart thing to do would be wait til Planetside actually releases and then wait a good 6 months before making a dumb claim. But that is not how ignorance works. See Cows for reference.

Funny, Planetside actually outclasses the majority of FPSs today. The only thing holding it back now is a very dated engine. Mechanics wise, it's a much more rewarding shooter than pretty much everything else on the market.

But because you pointed out that I'm a level 70 mod who is obviously just trolling, that makes you superior to me and nobody should listen. Is that what you were getting at?

Actually everything you've posted about quality is just opinion. Sure, we know the Halo formula, but a lot of people don't like that. So yes, you're still arguing on the basis of your opinion. As am I. However, I'm not telling people that my opinion is fact and that you're wrong because you're trolling.

You never even hear about the game anymore. (The first Planetside) And I already posted why Halo is a better series. Sales, Reviews, The number of people playing it now. But keep hyping something that hasn't even been released yet and saying it is already better than an established series. Why not. Lets all get Mad Cow Disease and just post one ignorant comment after another. Lets go ahead and throw some jelly gifs is as well, do some Microsoft and EA bashing and talk about how Console gamers are broke and are to stupid to play PC games. I will stick with common sense.

I doubt.

And Im certain we will see Planetside 2 becoming pay to win.

There are few f2p games that arent P2W, or becomes later in the life. Dota 2 isnt p2w atm, and probably will never be as long as icefrog has voice in making that game. Game that became p2w later is heroes of newerth, early access (since that released hero is OP as hell) is p2w.

Hey if you say so but to prove my facts you can look on Metacritc, sales charts, and go to Halo message boards and log onto the game itself. My so called opinions can be proven. It is a fact they have reviewed well, if not better than every other shooter. Obviously every review is an opinion but how many positives do you need to say "Yes". It is good? Then the sales. Of course we usually only get sales in the States but it is far and away the best selling franchise in the genre. Again, that is a fact that can be proven. And of course we all know how Lemmings have no games and just play Halo all day. The only other shooter that does better than halo is Call of Duty. But it is hard to call it "The best" because it is so hated for some reason. As for Planetside? Well?

Planetside 2 might not be garbage, but its highly likely that it will be P2W. FPS is all about the guns (im captain obvious!), so its best to sell those as microtransaction, like team fortress 2 does.

Man you are really really mad.

Planetside in it's current form is nothing like the game that was reviewed in 2003. It's far more robust with very few of the major issues that plauged the launch. The only reason why it's not heavily played is because it's 10 years old and still a subscription based game.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it's the better experiance for competitive multiplayer. Unless you've actually played Planetside recently. Sure it's not more popular, but more popular never makes a game better. The Halo series is bigger yes, but that doesn't mean that it's a better experience.

As for Planetside 2 vs. Halo 4, you haven't actually played Halo 4 either. It's by a new studio and they are taking the series in a different directing of Bungie. So you really have no idea where Halo 4 is headed. Everything I've seen about it (the multiplayer loadouts and armor abilities/perks) is a good indication that it's not going to be the Halo experiance that I am going to enjoy at all. Halo 2 and 3 had it right, Halo Reach really ruined the competitive aspect with broken armor abilities. Now they are adding in things like dedicated sprint, loadouts, and perks and possibly even kill streak rewards.

As for Planetside 2 they are making a lot of great changes to the Planetside formula to update it to be competitive with modern FPSs. However this does mean they are sacrificingsome of the proven mechanics. We'll see how it turns out.

Considering that Halo 4 is such a departure from other Halo games while Planetside 2 is made by the same people who have now built an entire game engine just for the needs of the game AND is on the PC where they are not held back by aged hardware (just look at the videos of Planetside 2, they are beautiful), I think Planetside 2 is going to be the far more enjoyable experience.

Sure you can have a differing opinion, but you cannot just discredit somebody elses opinion because you're bringing in past games that 343 has had absolutely nothing to do with. But but by all means please continue to do so. Without people like you, System Wars would be too boring.

Yeah. I like Halo. It isn't my favorite but I will give it the credit it deserves that it NEVER gets here. I just posted a few days ago that I enjoyed Killzone 3's single player more than Reach. I also think Bioshock is the best FPS this gen. But that is an opinion and I would not be able to find actual evidence to make that claim like you could with Halo. Dude. Go take 2 minutes of your time to look at my reviews in my blog. They are laid out easy to read and are separated in each genre Then come back and tell me if you think I am a fanboy who would argue about this just for something to do on the weekend.

Planetside 2 might not be garbage, but its highly likely that it will be P2W. FPS is all about the guns (im captain obvious!), so its best to sell those as microtransaction, like team fortress 2 does.

Nope. The store is selling EXP boosters (so you don't have to grind as long) and cosmetic items only. Even without the boosters they say it will take a dedicated Planetside 2 player (using averages collected from planetside 1) about a year to unlock everything. This puts it on par with Planetside. Of course you could speed that up.

They are not selling anything that gives you a in-game advantage. That has been a major focus since day one. Nearly every interview with the main developer has had him mentioning they are not going to make the game Pay to Win in any way.

Of course this all remains to be seen, but considering they've been building this game around a F2P mechanic since it's development, I can absolutly believe it. TF2 was never built to be F2P.

If Halo has the best universe in gaming then Battlefield has the best single player mode in gaming and Modern Warfare 2 has the best PC support in gaming.

Nice. A dumb post. That didn't take long.

Somehow not dumber then the assertion that the Halo universe is the best universe in gaming.

Just let him dream. His opinion = fact.

There is nowhere on the internetthat he can find that will back his claim that the Halo universe is regarded as the best universe in gaming. Sure, he can find a few people here and there arguing for that, but there is no general consensus.

After reading on Planetside 2 I am convinced they are 2 different games. But to be honest there is not a better universe in FPS's than Halo. So no FPS actually outclasses it. Halo has its own look, feel, and already put its mark in History. Sales, reviews, and the number of players who still play the game verifies that.

This is something new to System Wars. It is called logic and using a logical answer and response. Look at my reviews on my blogs. It is a statement of fact.

themajormayor

Argumentum ad populum and argument from "authority" is logical now?

On the subject of quality measured by the industry, there is really only one way to determine was is considered the best of all time and that's usually by looking at what's the most popular and considered by those who are revered in the industry as expert critics as the best.

Yes it falls under argumentative fallacies, but we are arguing over opinions, not facts, so it becomes much more of a gray area. Even if we can prove that the majority of the gaming industry believes that X game is the best game ever made, that is still just an opinion. Thus the gray area. It's not like arguing against a major scientific law or something that can be considered fact from all points of view.

[QUOTE="WarTornRuston"] You never even hear about the game anymore. (The first Planetside) And I already posted why Halo is a better series. Sales, Reviews, The number of people playing it now. But keep hyping something that hasn't even been released yet and saying it is already better than an established series. Why not. Lets all get Mad Cow Disease and just post one ignorant comment after another. Lets go ahead and throw some jelly gifs is as well, do some Microsoft and EA bashing and talk about how Console gamers are broke and are to stupid to play PC games. I will stick with common sense.

WarTornRuston

So, I take it you like halo?

Yeah. I like Halo. It isn't my favorite but I will give it the credit it deserves that it NEVER gets here. I just posted a few days ago that I enjoyed Killzone 3's single player more than Reach. I also think Bioshock is the best FPS this gen. But that is an opinion and I would not be able to find actual evidence to make that claim like you could with Halo. Dude. Go take 2 minutes of your time to look at my reviews in my blog. They are laid out easy to read and are separated in each genre Then come back and tell me if you think I am a fanboy who would argue about this just for something to do on the weekend.

lol, I am not even going to roll on you about it man.

Sometimes I have made irratinal posts in defense of Demon's Souls and stated my opinon as fact because I felt a certian way about the game. In hind sight I know some of my arguments might have been more personal preference and opinion than anything else. The way you are arguing in defense on Halo, I figured you might feel the same way.

Funny, Planetside actually outclasses the majority of FPSs today. The only thing holding it back now is a very dated engine. Mechanics wise, it's a much more rewarding shooter than pretty much everything else on the market.

But, because you pointed out that im a level 70 mod who is just trolling, that obviously makes you superior to me and nobody should listen. Is that what you were getting at?

Man you are really really mad.

Planetside in it's current form is nothing like the game that was reviewed in 2003. It's far more robust with very few of the major issues that plauged the launch. The only reason why it's not heavily played is because it's 10 years old and still a subscription based game.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it's the better experiance for competitive multiplayer. Unless you've actually played Planetside recently. Sure it's not more popular, but more popular never makes a game better. The Halo series is bigger yes, but that doesn't mean that it's a better experience.

As for Planetside 2 vs. Halo 4, you haven't actually played Halo 4 either. It's by a new studio and they are taking the series in a different directing of Bungie. So you really have no idea where Halo 4 is headed. Everything I've seen about it (the multiplayer loadouts and armor abilities/perks) is a good indication that it's not going to be the Halo experiance that I am going to enjoy at all. Halo 2 and 3 had it right, Halo Reach really ruined the competitive aspect with broken armor abilities. Now they are adding in things like dedicated sprint, loadouts, and perks and possibly even kill streak rewards.

As for Planetside 2 they are making a lot of great changes to the Planetside formula to update it to be competitive with modern FPSs. However this does mean they are sacrificingsome of the proven mechanics. We'll see how it turns out.

Considering that Halo 4 is such a departure from other Halo games while Planetside 2 is made by the same people who have now built an entire game engine just for the needs of the game AND is on the PC where they are not held back by aged hardware (just look at the videos of Planetside 2, they are beautiful), I think Planetside 2 is going to be the far more enjoyable experience.

Sure you can have a differing opinion, but you cannot just discredit somebody elses opinion because you're bringing in past games that 343 has had absolutely nothing to do with. But but by all means please continue to do so. Without people like you, System Wars would be too boring.

I am not mad. Again, System Wars logic states if your opinion is different and you go into conversations you must be mad. Proving once again this forum has went to hell. If you wanna talk that baby crap these tools in this forum use when they have nothing to say than lets just drop the conversation. If you wanna discuss this back and forth drop the stupidity. No one is mad. I am having what I was hoping was gonna be a decent conversation for a change. Now, to your post. Yes- I am aware that Planetside has evolved since the original release. I am aware that Planetside 2 is gorgeous. It should be. It's a PC game. I am aware that different people like the feel of different games. I liked the Multiplayer feel of Killzone 2. But they changed it because I was in the minority. Some people don't like Halo. But obviously that is the minority. Halo 4- People need to make up their mind. Is it the same old crap or is it different? Can't have it both ways. People hated the perks or armor abilities in Reach. But is was a big departure. People hated the fact that med packs vanished in Halo 2. But again, It was something new. Obviously Halo 4 will have some difference's. But the core, the most important part of the game will stay the same. The way it feels. I am not saying Planetside 2 will suck. I am just saying Halo is a proven cash cow, fan favorite, and will obviously get about AAA scores across the board and that will add to its impressive legacy that very few games every reach. Halo is in the catagory very few games get. Planetside 1 and 2 has not accomplished nothing that Halo has. It isn't even close.

Lets take two people both want same rifle. They normally play same amount daily, but the other one has booster. That means he gets the gun faster (which probably is better than the other dude has). That is pay to win - Not straight one like "I buy this gun with money, does 50 percent more damage than majority of other players' guns", but still is.

Edit: He buys booster with real money, gets gun faster. Where in that its not p2w? True that the other player gets the gun too, but much later.

I said it was my opinion. Not a fact. But you still are not considering why I said Halo is the better franchise. And I am sure you won't. Just another dummy that, for whatever reason dismisses logic and common sense.

Yet somehow my opinion that Halo's universe isn't great causes you to call my post dumb. I guess opinions are only dumb when they aren't yours right?
