So far Halo 3 is still my favorite FPS ths gen, and its all possible simply....

because the aiming controls are actually fast.

I played the FPS's for PS3 including the new one, but the aiming was just so slow, even on maximum seinsitivity.

Discuss:

guns are heavy, most people can't just whip them around

then again...halo isn't exactly realistic

Who wants to play a realistic shooter anyway?Emaldon117

apparently the millions of people who bought COD4...i'm not saying i prefer realistic shooters, i'll take R2 and Halo 3 over CoD games anyday, but most developers are aiming to stay in the realm of realism nowadays

I like GEOW2 better than Halo but thats not an FPS

Mr_Apple_Soup

If you put FPS and Best in the same sentence without KZ2 automatic Fail.djsifer01

I hope best in this context does not include controls. I'd rather play KZ2 with an N64 controller if it were possible, it would make more playable.

you didn't find the single player a tad more believable then most of the other shooters out there?

Erm, I don't judge a FPS game on how "fast" the controls are. :?The_Sand_Man

Whats the most important aspect of any game? "Being able to @!$%ing play it" - AVGN

Mr_Apple_Soup

No. Hell no.

The fact that it takes place in a "real world" setting doesn't make it any more realistic than Halo.

At least Halo has a reasonable excuse for Master Chief being able to soak up an ass load of bullets, with all the energy shields and the rest of the sci-fi bull ****.

In CoD 4 you just have magick powahz, end of story.

fine, i guess you're right than...when it comes to FPS's, my perspective is very...casual

so much for my nifty example

Weapons are heavy?

That was the retard statement of the day. If 7lbs is heavy to you....that's about how much an M16 weighs. 7lbs. And M4....lol. Unless you are carrying a huge LMG around with you, then no, you are not going to struggle "whipping" that thing around.

Says the guy with 10 inch arms lmao!!! Hold 7 lbs out in front of you for 12 hours straight and see how light it is.. lmao

I hold seven pounds in front of me every time I urinate.

It ain't a big deal.

LOL at "In CoD 4 you just have magick powahz" ah man that was great.

But yeah, Halo is just are realistic as Killzone as far as I can tell, in terms of gameplay.

In terms of story, well maybe not so much, but thats the fun of it. It's plausible, but not reality.

You should do some exercise, if your belly blocks the way and you have to lift it to urinate, isn't a good sign.:P

On topic: Its true for a trained soldier that weight is nothing.

and add the fact that it really isn't pleasent on the arms if you've been firing that gun quite a bit

guns are heavy, most people can't just whip them around

then again...halo isn't exactly realistic

True, but it makes the game feel like crap.

and fun should always go before realism.

nothing about COD is realistic:P

Peeing on midgets is not cool.

Some of them are decent people.

So you like fast aiming and you choose halo 3 instead of one of the 9 billion PC shooters released this gen?

Huh.

Oh man... you are joking I hope.

Things that should be addressed in this thread:

1 - Standard assault rifles aren't heavy, unless your arms are parallel in diameter with a garden hose.

2 - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is anti-realistic. The only FPS games I've played that I would consider realistic are S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Operation Flashpoint and Red Orchestra; Call of Duty 4 isn't even a fraction of realism in comparison.

3 - Killzone to being "the best FPS this gen" is opinion, not fact. If you were to ask me what I felt the best FPS this generation was so far, it would either be Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead. Nevertheless, Halo 3 is an excellent shooter.

Oh man... you are joking I hope.

People usually think Real-guns = Real-istic

The reason Halo 3 is my favorite FPS this gen?

The weapons and vehicles are balanced. A skilled player always wins. There's no god mode anything. It makes online awesome.

Not to mention the community is huge, and come time for Halo ODST that number will get bigger.

I think I know what he's talking about. Not neccessarily "realistic" gun mechanics, but a lot of people play CoD4 expecting it to be the most realistic military-themed shooter. What the game goes for is being American military and all that crap. The theme of the game kind of realistic, people may expect that out of the game, but obviously when they play it the guns are nowhere close to their real life counterparts.
