I did play them, all of them, and they all sucked. Hoped they would get better because it had some potential, but no such luck. You are just are just a Halo fanboy who takes the Master Chief as Jesus and the Halo series as the greatest thing to ever hit the planet when it really is nothing more than an average shooter with an average story that does not innovate in any area, and that caters to teenagers and young kids with bright colors and laser guns. Please don't lecture me about Halo, I am too busy playing real shooters where people's response to being shot is not to jump 20 feet in the air or use an "energy sword". Come on.

I'm not going to tell anyone that they have to like a game, but I've heard this precise argument against Halo so often that I just have to ask you to clarify a few things. Please take the questions seriously, even if they appear snotty.

When you say Halo is an average shooter with an average story, could you give a contrasting example of a superior shooter with a superior story? It would help if I knew what kinds of shooters have superior gameplay and how their stories are better in your view, as it would give some context.

Now your comment about Halo catering to kids "with bright colors and laser guns" is a little baffling. So if a game isn't monochromatic, it's childish? If a game has an energy weapon, it's for kids? If every SPARTAN can jump 20 feet in the air, how does that really affect the quality of combat? I could see you getting upset if only some people could jump and others couldn't, but you can aim upwards just as often as the other guy jumps, right?

In Halo you play as a cyborg with superhuman abilities. Should every shooter be like that? No, probably not. I like to play more tactical games every now and then for variety's sake. But I enjoy playing games that let me control an extraordinarily powerful character. If I had to spend the majority of every shooter hiding behind a crate for cover, I'd probably give up on gaming entirely. Sometimes I want high and broad action, and Halo delivers that.

i think im in love.

thanks alot man. What other kinds of games do you think this laptop could play (future game wise, like next year)?

It will work fine, it ran on my stock E2160 before I OCed it. SRL is not reliable.musclesforcier

what kind of settings were you playing on and what kind of fps did you get?

Alrighty i was at Best Buy yesterday browsing their laptop selection, The gateway FX series caught my eye because i heard that their 8800 GT MXMs can run crysis and other new games on high. While in BB i ran system requirements lab on the 2 models they had. i checked how crysis would work on them, both of the laptops were well over the recommended specs however the CPU was below the required. This surprised me because they were 1.8Ghz Core 2 duo's. But under more info or whatever on the web site it said a 2.0 Ghz CPU is required.

Is it not registering the 2 cores? or does Crysis need a dual core over 2.0 GHz?

I was thinking about gettin a newer PC but now im thinkin about getting a Mac and just using a console to game. Can anyone tell me what they think about Macs if they own one or have owned one?

How does the OS work? Is the word processing and media management any good?
