Something people seriously need to understand console FPS vs pc FPS rating.

Halo 2 for PC got a 7.0

I win.

Half-Life 2 for Xbox got an 8.3

Quote: "Half-Life 2 for Xbox is basically just the acclaimed single-player campaign for Half-Life 2. And that's why Half-Life 2 for the Xboxcomes off asa bitunderwhelming."

See I can do that too. Outdated ports can ruin the scores of PC games as well...

And no, halo 2 scoring better than half-life 2 doesn't mean it's better, but IMO after playing Half-Life 2 and HL2 Deathmatch quite a bit and numerous mods including CS:Source, the Hidden, Dystopia, Gerry's Mod, Art of Ascension, Source Forts, and Day of Defeat Source, I belive Halo 2 to be the better game.The multiplayer was just too addictive and fun.

Different strokes for different folks. The exact opposite here. I bought Halo 3 and played it's multiplayer nonstop for a few nights (was a 37 Liutenant Grade 2) before getting bored and losing my interest in it. Maybe i will like it again if i get back into it and do more team play (as i did mostly Lone Wolves). Case in point, with CS:S, i played the hell out of that game and loved it.

While I do agree that the Halo series is an amazing series as far as consoles goes, there's nothing that ticks me off more than a fanboy saying something like "Zomg Halo 2 getting 9.4 means it's better than Half Life 2 getting 9.2 (I am not a hermit and I don't wanna bash Halo. Just an easy example to take). No, just stop fooling yourself. Computers are the kings of FPS and it is widely known. Maybe some of you might prefer console FPS to be better (I really can't see how. Someone has to explain this to me) but it is a general consensus that FPS on computers are better (obviously not all).

Scores are relevant to the platform (or consoles as far as FPS go). Halo series got such good scores (higher than Half Life series in some places) ONLY because it was being compared to console FPS and NOT to pc FPS. Some people really need to understand this.

Sounds like someone is upset HL2 got a lower score then the Halo games.

Until mice and keyboards become standard devices on consoles, they will never be in the same league as PC shooters.

Controllers simply don't allow for the same type of competitive gameplay that mice and keyboards do.

I'm sure the over half a million people on XBL disagree with you. I know I do. Halo3 is quite competitive.

BioShock: 9.0 on PC, 9.0 on the Xbox 360. And they were the exact same game.-Tretiak

Well with the new rating system you can't have a .2-3 difference
