Sure, PC gamers always brag about having the best versions of games and act like they are above console gamers, but really are they?

PC gamers don't get to relax on a couch while they play a game, they get to sit upright in a chair. Alright I guess thats not too bad. What about the tiny screen PC gamers play on? I cant stare at a computer screen for a long time, eventually I get a headache, but whatever thats just me right? Having a comfy couch and large tv to play video games is what I prefer. PC gamers also lack variety in the types of games they get to play, MMO, FPS, RTS, RPG. Although thats not completely true, you don't hear many games that don't fall into one of those category's being hyped for PC.

I guess that stuffs not a huge deal, the real reason I would never become a PC gamer is because most hardcore PC gamers have no life, honesty say what you want to me but it is true. A lot of my friends own a console (usually an xbox or wii, occasionally a ps3) its pretty normal. But I do not know anybody that uses a PC for gaming that doesn't sit by themselves at lunch. The only people that talk about playing WoW are the ones with few real friends. You can call me an idiot, I don't care. I am stating an opinion based off of many observations.

But then again, I cant blame them, If i wasted that much money to play games on something "superior" to a console i would spend my life playing Half Life 2 on my computer also.

My pc is connected to my 50inch lcd tv and i got the adapter so i can use a 360 controller to play games on my couch, apart from the price (which is hardly a downside cause if you look around you can get some cheap hardware) there are NO downsides to having a gaming pc.

Then why didnt you just buy an xbox?

[QUOTE="Pok3master"]Honestly, its not happening. Call of Duty 2 was a solid game, and i have no doubt 4 will be. But when you really look at it Halo 3 has more, everybody has just been blinded by CoD 4s amazing graphics. CaN_U_DiGiT454

You're dreaming if you think Halo 3 is going to be as good as COD4.

Why? The Halo games have always been better(just look at the reviews), nothing about COD4 seems new

[QUOTE="Pok3master"]

I cant help but feel a little mad when people claim that every halo game is just a bunch of stuff stolen from other FPS. This is far from the truth. Besides being extremely polished games, they also introduced a lot of new stuff to gaming. Just look...

HALO:CE

*Melee is no longer a secondary function on some guns, its a useful tactic

*Vehicles and foot combat do not have separate levels, vehicles can be used as you please

Battlefield 1942, Command and Conquer: Renegade, etc.

((No, those came out AFTER halo))

*Creates the best check point system ever in a game

Yeah right. I've see games all the time were you can hit the "save" button, and start back exactly were you were when you saved.

((In halo you will never get a checkpoint in a situation where you could be about to die, and you dont have to take the time to save))

*allows console gamers to have huge 16 player matches

I'm sure this was done before Halo

((Was Not, Halo was first, Go Check)

*Creates an amazing co-op

This is a matter of opinion. What about Time Splitters?

((Cant argue with that))

Halo 2

* Pushing the xbox to the limits in terms of power

Yeah right. Metroid Prime, which is a GC launch game looks better than Halo 2. And there were much better games, like Ninja Gaiden and Chronicles of Riddick.

* Creates matchmaking, which to this day is the best way to play people of your skill level online

That's been around for decades. ((Name one game, obviously you dont know what it is))

* Creates an addictive way to level up in different game types, unique to everything before it

Um, if you mean getting points for your skilll level, than that's also been done for decades. ((Once again, Name a game))

* Extensive stat tracking online, which was done to an extent never before seen for a console game

I might give you this, but I'm not that big on multiplayer gaming, so I'll leave this to someone else to refute.

Halo 3

* Records every match you play, allows you to edit the videos

Ever heard of Machinima? ((That is BUILT INTO THE GAME, no extra VCR or recording equimpment required))

* 4 player online co op

I think Star Wars Battlefront had this. ((Maybe, I wouldnt know))

* Even deeper stat tracking

Meh, it doesn't change the game, and it's something literally as old as the written word.

* Single player is scored, score shows up on bungie.net, giving the single player a competitive quality

Again, it doesn't change the way I play the game. ((For a large amount of people it will))

* Map editor allows you to edit weapon spawns, item locations and more, all while a game is in progress

In progress? That doesn't sound possible from a balance point of view. In which case, map editors are ancient. (( There can be 2 people editing a map at one time while a game is going on, it will be wild)

If halo isn't the first to do these things, give me an example of what did

Tylendal

There are gaps in my knowledge, because I'm not a big fan of FPS games, but I guarentee you that at least half of what you say is not original to Halo. ((Oh Really?)

You have no idea what you are talking about.

[QUOTE="Pok3master"]

Halo 3

* Map editor allows you to edit weapon spawns, item locations and more, all while a game is in progress (Zero_Fate_ = How is this innovative? Far Cry Instincts hada simple map editorbefore and Garry's Mod blows Forge away.)

Zero_Fate_

Run, jump, shoot aliens has been done before. This game will be great but innovative I think not.KURUPT_ON3

Im not only talking about halo 3, all of the games in general

honesty i had been thinking bioshock would get an 8.5 for a while now, system shock 2 only got an 8.5 at gs and jeff is hard on games

the demo was great fun, the game feels a lot like a resident evil/metriod hybrid with one of the best enviorments ever made for a game
