Ok so what about Ghost Recon for the 360?I guess it isn'ta hard game because it is on a console....... The fact that you go down almost faster than CS is too unrealistic...... Every person having auto-aim makes it even. IF every person didn't have auto-aim then it would also be even, but if each player has to put up with the same crap it doesn't make it easy or anything. You've got to understand that Halo is in the future.... They have shields in the future...... What is unrealistic about it? Have you been to the future to know that what happens in Halo is unrealistic?
Oh and saying CS is a fact paced game and halo is slow is bull.... I played CS (back when it was good and not this Source crap) and honestly camping for 3 minutes is super fast let me tell you. The main reason it CAN be fast is because you get the idiots on your team who run into rooms blindly and start fire fights.
Now i used to play CS and i can tell you that besides no Auto-Aim and no shields it isn't that different. You add those two features to CS and you would find out that it is pretty similiar. Oh and the fact that everyone has Auto-Aim and shields means nothing because if they took those two things away everyone would be as even as they are now. If only half the people in the game had Auto-aim it would be a different story.
And to be honest the main reason i got away from CS was because of hackers... yea there are modders in Halo 2, but not near as many as in CS (now i do know cheating death and other stuff helped with a lot of that). Plus i was tired of watching my teamates sit in a corner and camp there the entire game. Atleast in Halo it is realistic to the fact that team work helps. Yea one guy can kill four people but that can happen, but you don't see it much because with 2 on 1s it is usually the 1 that dies unless he is good.

Woah! Guess I struck a soft-spot there. Sorry. Looking back I can see how my post may have come off as condescending towards console gamers. Let me explain.
Ghost Recon isa very tough game. You're right. And I wasn't trying to insinuate that all console games are inherantly easy. It just so happens that CounterStrike is probably one of the hardest games to get into for newbies in the history of games. I'm sorry if you disagree, but that's my own, very strong, personal opinion.
Granted, every person ina game having auto-aim makes it fair, but it also makes it easier for everyone to plant their crosshairs on a target. Games that don't have auto-aim rely a bit more on skill, and therefore, a newbie is going to have a much harder time then a seasoned veteran.
And I wasn't saying shields in Halo were unrealistic. But, the fact of the matter is, in Halo I can take a few hits from a shot gun, run away, and be back to full health in less then a minute. There's no shields or health kits in CS, so once you get shot, there's no going back to full health until next round.
Where I disagree with you is in the concept of speed. While I haven't played CounterStrike or Halo Multiplayer in over six months, I do know that CS is much faster, regardless of whether or not people are rushing the front-lines. Character movement is much faster, andgunfights are much more brutal, therefore faster in my opinion. However, since CounterStrike is round-based and Halo is typically just deathmatch, Halo could be seen as a "faster-paced" game, simply because you respawn many times during a ound.
Teamwork can be helpful in both games. It's all a matter of who's on your team. Both Halo and Counterstrike are awesome games. I just feel that a new player willhave an easier, less frusterating time getting into Halo.
Anyway, after inadvertantly hijacking this thread, CS does not come with the Orange Box. It should, because that would make it an even bigger value then it already it, but it unfortunately doesn't.And to all the people who were moaning and groaning about the OP not just looking up the information himself, I say stuff it. Searching for stuff on the internet is a mega-pain-in-the-A-hole. If you don't want to answer the guy's question, just don't post. It took you more time to complain about how he could have just looked up the information himself than it would have to simply say "no."
