why do so many people state that the halo series is "just an average FPS"

and nothing special IMO. Lack of true HD and any sign of AA or improvements to the gameplay is a rehash in my book.

isn't starcraft considered the most revolutionary RTS ever made and it ran in 480i(640x480) while other games with 1024x768 had gameplay nowhere near as standerd setting as it?the point is, resolution dosnt make a game, gameplay does, and thats what halo 3 has. Sure it didn't do to FPSes what starcraft did to RTSes but its still a solid game.

[QUOTE="xXHackettXx"]The only people who call Halo 3 average are angry fanboys.Meu2k7

or people who have played other pc fps's.

are you saying jeff never played a PC FPS?

Jeff has bashed Halo countless times, this time he just gave into you all without any come-back , you know ... the temper you lot throw when he says something negative is obsurd sad and very childish.

if anything it is your temper that is absurd.... ppl trying to spoil the ending to H3 is childish.... and yes you are clearly not a halo hater.... i can tell b/c you are saying the only reason halo got a high score was to "give in"....hmmm so whats your excuse for all the other reviews....i could use a good laugh

My temper? I'm not having a temper O_o.

I agree, ending spoiling is childish but please ... thats done by fans so its completely irrelevant,

And no I did not say that, usually he hads some comments in against it, hes done it several times in different reviews refering to halo and lemmings have gone and thrown tantrums, made nasty images of him and so forth...

Really, keep blaming me ... if it insults you then leave the thread.

spoiling the game is done by haters like your self....are you saying jeff reviewed the game high b/c he was scared ppl on SW would draw pictures of him:|.... ok now explain how it got so high everywhere eles? and what am i blaming you for? im just saying IMO all your posts are very much in line with what i would call a halo hater...

Starcraft wasnt revolutionary ... it was just well balanced .... and very competitive, something Halo isnt, I'm sorry but thats the truth.

[QUOTE="killtactics"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="killtactics"]nor did i say he does.... but i would take jeffs opinion over anyone here in SWs... and we can argue all day about which games "we think" are good but we would't get anywhere... thats why we let editors decide ... and many editors agree Meu2k7

What is it that makes Jeff's opinion so much more valid?

the fact that he does not come on SW:|.... being able to be subjective is what makes his opinion more valid then others.... if you disagree maybe you should get your reviews from SDF... also while we all have opinions we have to concead or eles we will have the same argument over and over again.... just like RIGHT NOW...

I'l say it again, Jeff has already made it clear in the past hes not a fan of Halo in any way whatsoever ... does that mean he can use his own opinion? does that mean he could score it 7.0 ....? NO ... because hed get in a load of ****.

Reviews opinions in reviews are not always thier PERSONAL opinions.

E Opinions? (Reviews):|

Sales are the Bottom line.

The only thing is the actually Accountable.

You may not agree with my "Average" Opinion of Halo 3 but so what? :|

It has really good marketing and I get Eaten for pointing that out.... :|

XD88FDB

Sales are not the bottom line, there are many games in the industry that are looked upon highly despite not having the greatest sales. :|

The are sites that from consensus opinions across the industry. I don't agree with your "average" opinion, b/c it's not an average like the one I speak of across the industry. :|

You get "eaten" b/c (again) that's not all that Halo has going for it in the industry. :|

And one more for kicks. :|

I don't like Halo 3... So kill me...

I don't care whether you like it or not. I never did, nor will I ever. I'm talking about how it's accepted in the industry, not how much person X likes the game.

Wrong. Total Anihilation is most often cited as one of the most revolutionary RTS's.

Because they said hey our game runs at this. The whole point of the next generation of consoles was to be able to game in true HD. Now while I won't use this as an argument, it is still very valid.

Halo's done a lot for consoles, no doubt. It's done nothing for PC gaming. Rechargable armor and vehicles were already both in the first Tribes, which came out in 1998, 3 years before Halo:CE. I'm sorry, but Halo 3 is not a universally strong FPS. It's a strong console FPS. Nobody's even bothered to argue with the point that it's not very different from Tribes 2, which came out in 2001. Of course I don't expect many of you have ever played it.

People will always have opinions

Is the Majority of Carefully Collected Opinions (reviews) more important than One persons opinion?

There one in the same...

Well this is a Halo thread and Starcraft was being used in context with Halo , and melee is overpowered, so thus in conclion theres is no huge balanced, and theres not enough mechanics to make such a skill-gap difference to make it hugely competitive, which is why even though its user base is bigger, there is less Halo gaming leagues than most top-quality PC shooter counterparts..

nothing I said is bashing, its pointing out flaws, which are not accepted around here. You might not care if I say its Average, but the TC does .... hes not shutting me up, keep talking about the game all the time and I'l keep bringing it up.

How dare anyone out there make fun of Halo after all Master Chief has been through? :cry: He loves Cortana. :cry: He went through the Flood. All you people care about is criticizing Halo and calling it an average FPS. :cry: Halo gives you so much and yet you want more and more :cry:

Since Halo 3, an average FPS, scored 9.5, I'm surprised Hour of Victory didn't get at least a 8.0...

That's their opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

But to compete against scores is futile. Halo is a AAA franchise. End of story.

Halo 3 is far from Average but people will still call it so. I've gotten used to the hate. People love to nitpick things that are popular. It comes with the territory. perhaps if Halo wasn't as popular as it is, maybe it wouldn't be hated as much as it is now.

Yeah, exactly.

It's sad, but around here, Halo 3 is never going to recieve any credit for anything it does right. All people are going to do is complain to high heaven.
