Meshugger Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 i dont see why halo is so great...i havent played halo 2 yet but just wondering: is it as good as everyone says it is? probably not since the first game got so much credit for being a crappy game <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For me, it's the ultimate FPS in terms of pure combat (while i consider games like Deus Ex and System Shock 2 the best ever), the A.I. is purely unpredictable and dynamic when it comes to flank you, use the enviroment as cover and so on. No fight is like the other due to this and it's simply very fun to play(especially co-op on Legendary difficulty). No other game that i've played has such intense combat (not even HL2) and Halo 2 sets the bar higher IMO. Add an ok-ish story, good soundtrack and a good cinematic feel to it and you got yourself a winner.

><FISH'> Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 ok....i suppose ppl have different tastes..i probably didnt like it because i HATE 1'st person shooters and i HATE military games that have nothing but shooting, shooting and yet more shooting

jaguars4ever Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 For me, it's the ultimate FPS in terms of pure combat Not as good as Perfect Dark.

Drachir Shonthar Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 LucasArts sucks it hard for releasing the PC version way after some stupid console version. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> would not blame Lucasarts for this i think its the same with any xbox/pc crossover and it is down to Microsoft ©. I believe the idea is people buy xbox and or xb copy to get it asap and so boosts X box vs consoles and then maybe pc copy 3 monts (or more i think for Halo) down the line. (this is a personal opinion )

DSLuke Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 Xbox and PS2 suck equally and they suck a lot. PC rules etc... Inferior machines, a gamer seeks not these things. They are anomalies in the Force a mere disturbance that must be crushed soon, before it can corrupt more PC users to the console side... And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom

Nur Ab Sal Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 I say we should found secretive anti-xbox liberation movement :ph34r: HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

MASTER Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 I like my comp but I like my box, but the box comes out first I like to to torture people that are going to whine about it.
