Title: 18 more days, earth will never be the same..
Post by: jeromechickenbone on October 20, 2004, 11:02:10 AM
Yes, 18 more days, November 9th (North America version, i believe 11th everywhere else). Halo 2 FINALLY drops!!!
I honestly believe if I never get another game, i'll be ok.  Multiplayer on Xbox live (which is by far and away the most superior gaming experience on line) is gonna suffice for years to come.  I know a lot of yall are gonna get GTASA when it drops, (i will too, but not till it comes to xbox) but if you have an appreciation for great games, you should at least give this a try. PEACE

exactly. You have this group of people who think its the greatest game ever made, and it has the greatest multiplayer game ever made. Its graphics are unmatched. Its ai, unmatched. Its just so ahead of its time.

Yet, its not. Its just an average First person shooter, with average graphics. A horrible story and 1 player game. A decent multiplayer.

goddamn i didn't realize there were so many touchy ass bitches when it comes to video games. To me, halo is the best game ever made. Better than zelda, better than GTA, better than madden. The best arguement yall can come with is to be like 'he's a nerd'. I have the feeling i'm now debating with a 6th grader.

Rampant - If its sooo average a FPS, i'd like to know what you think a great FPS is.  Also, i'm curious - what is the story behind Halo anyway?

here's halo's story... the covenant is a group of religious aliens that go around killing or converting planets... master chief is the last hope for mankind, he's a secret project.....halo was a structure made to hold back a type of creature that mutates it's hosts and spreads like a virus.... and they all kill each other

GRRRRREAT STORY  ::)

let's look at the gameplay...ok you can shoot, did that...jump... did that....man vehicles...did that, crouch...did that, throw grenades...did that...but with gun...did that and the maps consisted of go here and kill this....now go here and protect this.....go here and look at this.... go here and hit that switch....oh and the weapons were so revolutionary that they....oh my bad i must be thinking of the turok franchise

AWESOME GAMEPLAY

great graphics for the environment and all 5 creatures in the game...

and the AI was unbelievable... this is the first time creatures had squad based tactics...oh wait, turok 2 on the nintendo 64 had that...nevermind

Well, if you'll notice, my question was aimed at Rampant because i don't think he's actually played the game much, if at all.  But since it appears you are his bitch, i'll direct my question at you.  What do you consider an awesome FPS?

on a side note, my Karma has dropped 2 points since i started this thread.

Look, i'm not sayin yall have to like this game.  i'm sayin it has received some of the highest critical acclaim from every magazine that reviews/rates games.  It is the single highest draw at every gaming convention.  E3 (the annual convention) awarded halo 2 with damn near every award, including BEST multiplayer (the same multiplayer that Rampant, the apparent guru dubbed "average").  But hey i guess all the programmers really have no clue what they are talking about. Every month at my college the fraternities STILL hold tourney's.  And thats after 3 years.  I've never owned a game that can even touch that replay value.

1st i don't give a shit who you asked....there's your answer from an educated gamer

if you expect a good answer from some one that might not know what they are talking about you're just as stupid as them

and you want a better FPS that Halo?

Halo IGN score 9.7         
Metroid Prime IGN score 9.8
Half Life has recieved more awards than any other FPS

there's two games

and anyways there's still large groups of people playing half life and counter strike multi player and those games date back to 1998
Title: Re: 18 more days, earth will never be the same..
Post by: Thirteen on October 21, 2004, 11:18:49 AM
oh i almost forgot... Goldeneye for the nintendo 64 is the best selling console FPS of all time

so they you got a game that beats Halo's Score

you got a game that beats Halo's longevity

and you have a game that beats Halo's sales

Post by: T-Dogg on October 21, 2004, 12:19:37 PM
I honestly never understood what was so great about Halo... Personally I found the single player hella tiresome, with the levels just repeating themselves and with the endless cannon fodder after you release the other aliens... The vehicles were a cool thing to be there, but controlling them sucked ass on PC.

Multiplayer is aaight, but I only find it fun when we have 4 guys playing on a friends X-Box and we can talk shit at the same time. Otherwise it's kinda dull after a while.

If they do the same thing with the boring ass levels in Halo 2... Whoopty fuckin doo. Same shit in a prettier package.

Good thing Half-Life 2's finally coming out.

its amazing how these kids will defend halo to the end....why? I've never played the game huh? Well let me give you the autobiography of my life.

I got all this amazing feedback from these xbox bitches about how halo was the greatest fps ever made, and blah blah halo "OMFG you got to buy it" So i decided to buy it for the PC the week it came out. (please dont even try telling me that the pc version is different from the xbox version.)

I played the single player for about 5 hours. I got past a bunch of levels. What did i do for that 5 hours....well ill tell you. I shot the same 3 aliens over and over. (look at the pic.) These little ass aliens for 5 hours....wow thats real fun.
(http://www.ixbt.com/soft/images/halo/halo-02.jpg)

The multiplayer kept me hooked for a couple of months. But after awhile it just got so boring. There were only a couple of maps that i even liked playing. How many weapons were there ...? i cant remember but i remember it being a small amount.

Same thing over and over and over. If thats the best fps ever, than video games have reached an all time low.

Fuck dude way to go. You spent all that time digging, and you found one game that was rated higher.  Great job supporting the "its an average game" statement. (Games are in different catergories, btw)

2 major problems with that statement: The phrase isn't "I could care less" its "I couldn't care less". You sound like a retard when you say it wrong.  2nd, if you really "could care less" about it, why and the hell are you posting in this thread?

hey fuckhead, you said name a fps that's better so i did

for people that say metroid prime isn't a FPS:

Cube owners, your wait is over. Finally you can laugh back at the Xbox cronies or the PS2 junkies. Because the good people at Nintendo (its for breakfast now) have given us Metroid Prime. First let me say this; Nintendo seemed to freak everyone out when they released the first information of the game. I don’t think anyone expected the next gen Metroid to be a first person shooter. The gaming community is already flooded with games in the FPS genre, so no one was expecting anything revolutionary.

and it took me 3 seconds to dig up that metroid prime is a better game because i own that, halo, half life and goldeneye and i knew they all did better than halo... sorry i proved that you're a moron but once you get halo 2 you can go back to not having a life

now 3 quarters of the people in here know what's up... glad most of ya'll realized Halo is nothing that special...

GTA will always be the better game (I know there not the same type of game, blah blah) but it's the truth there's just simply more to do in the GTA games... oh yeah and your not on some nerd shit shootin aliens either. :D

i already played the multiplayer for about 12 -13 hours over the last week and a half
and played a little bit of single player
from what i've heard people that finished the single player says it amazing up there with half lfie 1
the multiplayer is a lot of fun
having two guns and the sword is awesome
and just melee matches are crazy
best game ever: i dunno yet havent played the single player
but i am having more fun playing the multiplayer than i did wit halo 1

So would you mind explaining the whole E3 thing?

Look, i'm not sayin yall have to like this game.  i'm sayin it has received some of the highest critical acclaim from every magazine that reviews/rates games.  It is the single highest draw at every gaming convention.  E3 (the annual convention) awarded halo 2 with damn near every award, including BEST multiplayer (the same multiplayer that Rampant, the apparent guru dubbed "average").   But hey i guess all the programmers really have no clue what they are talking about. Every month at my college the fraternities STILL hold tourney's.  And thats after 3 years.


So would you mind explaining the whole E3 thing? 

Also, i read today that pre-orders are over 1.5 million. 


have you ever seen reviewers? they're fucking nerds...give them a video game with any gun, some aliens and the world at stake and they will throw up Vulcan hand gestures all day

Official Xbox Magazine just released its rating of the game - 9.7. Which is the highest rating they have ever given a game, edging out Ninja Gaiden with a 9.6. I'm hyped as fuck
Thats got to be the worst source to quote to back up your "halo rocks" statement.

of course they're nerds. thats what lends to their talent to critque video games.  E3 consists of all sorts of programmers, game makers, and others in computer / console gaming fields.  Those are the people that touted Halo2 to be this incredible game.  Its like Dre and Premier saying there's some new producer out there that is making incredible music.  Their opinions actually hold some weight.  Not that your opinion shouldn't hold weight, but The best arguement you can come with is to say those people are nerds?  Debating with you is like trying to teach a kid with down syndrome calculus.

reviewers are the ones that review games and give out awards, not programmers so your analogy is pretty far off. the new producer is better associated with The Source giving the acclaim and you know that they (the source) are garbage.

which is why i listen to my peers when it comes to reviews, because these people are unpaid and unbiased

uh, at E3 every possible platform is represented. Programmers, media, and fans all choose which games win which awards.  E3 is the mecca of all gaming conventions. Yes magazines can be / are biased.  But i'd be willing to bet that you'd be hard pressed to find a publication called this game "average" and "boring". And if your peers are fellow PS2'ers, then i feel sorry for you.  You do realize that xbox is the superior system right? I'm unpaid and unbiased, i own a ps2, and xbox, (my roomate of 4 years had a gamecube, and i fucked with that all the time.) I guess i'm getting at this point: do you think ps2 is better than xbox? because if you do, than it is a waste of time debating with you.

1st off the awards are like boxing championship belts...they're too numerous and alot of them don't mean shit...Fable won best RPG at E3 and the game is 1/3249573927 of what it was promised to be

secondly i personally own an xbox, a gamecube, a gaming PC and a PS2 so i can tell you Halo isn't as good as you make it out to be because i have access to all games

and if you want to talk about power then you should talk about the pc version...Halo drops from a 9.7 on the xbox to 8.7 on pc (which happens to be flooded with FPS's)

i go through phases but honestly it's been mostly Xbox until i get GTA...last 5 or 6 games i've bought have been for Xbox; Fable, Star Wars Battlefront, MK Deception, Def Jam Fight For NY, Midway Arcade Treasures 2....

and after GTA i plan on getting Halo 2, Metroid Prime 2 and Resident Evil 4
