sorophx Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I do wonder, how much of the original team is still in Bungie. I mean, is there a chance we'll ever see Myth IV or Oni 2 by Bungie?..

Meshugger Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Meh, Halo 1 was one of the best games that i ever played. The second was such a let down that i did not bother much with the rest. This one certainly doesn't have any redeeming factors.

sorophx Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Halo was revolutionary in it's time, but I wonder why Bungie isn't even trying anymore? it's like they've given up on creative game development Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

RPGmasterBoo Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Halo was revolutionary in it's time, but I wonder why Bungie isn't even trying anymore? it's like they've given up on creative game development Because they were being raped by Microsoft to make Halo games for too long. It got so bad that their discontent was known amongst the general gaming public. Bungie was one of the most creative developers... ever. All hail Myth II.

Niten_Ryu Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Halo was revolutionary in it's time, but I wonder why Bungie isn't even trying anymore? it's like they've given up on creative game development I disagree. Halo gave us vehicle combat in FPS and rechargeable health (or shields). We have to remember that Halo project was first PC game, untill Microsoft bought 'em for Xbox. I was looking forward of Halo (for PC exclusive), but none expected it to be revolutionary and it wasn't. I agree from console perspective as FPS really sucked before Halo. Personally I think in 2001 both Aliens vs. Predator 2 and Operation Flashpoint were better FPS then Halo. -edit- And Return to Castle Wolfenstein of course.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Halo 3 was more fun than Half-life 2. For me. *throws up flame shield* "Alright, I've been thinking.

Oblarg Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Never got through HL2. Too expansive and plodding - I just got bored after a while.

sorophx Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Personally I think in 2001 both Aliens vs. Predator 2 and Operation Flashpoint were better FPS then Halo. -edit- And Return to Castle Wolfenstein of course. Operation Flashpoint is the greatest FPS of all time for me (playing ArmA2 right now). which doesn't make Halo necessarily bad. Halo was all about multiplayer and a great physics engine.

Oner Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Apparently Halo's important innovations were in the multiplayer.

RPGmasterBoo Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) All hail Myth II. Who's plot was blatantly stolen from The Black Company. So? Whats your point? At least its a good pick. Its the only fantasy strategy game that I've played in the last decade whose plot was worth following. Homeworld's plot was partly taken from the Bible and Battlestar Galactica. Most of Starcraft was ripped off from Warhammer 40k. Doesn't make them any less landmark titles, does it? This is one of them great mysteries of the universe, right up there with the secrets of the pyramids : why anyone liked HALO. I mean we know that they did, and that they do. Just... WHY ?. Its a mystery to me as well. When I played the PC port a bit later I thought it was a pretty average shooter. Certainly its not half as good as Half Life 1 or which ever top PC FPS you choose. I think it was just strong XBox propaganda making the game to something it was not.

As is usually the case, people think Halo did something first, and infact it didn't. You get the same problem with Doom. Codename Eagle, a predecessor to Battlefield was certainly released before Halo: Date: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codename_Eagle Description: http://uk.gamespy.com/articles/552/552075p23.html It doesn't matter though, I never loved Halo. Also Halo started out as a Mac project, it was also an MMO at some point. Halo did do something really good for consoles it proved out that if you programmatically aid the player via sticky targets and the like, an FPS on console can be viable, and mass market. Operation Flashpoint *shudders* that's just too sim-like to be fun. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology.

I skipped this one and went straight to ArmA2 from Red Hammer any game, where it takes more than two bullets to down the player character is bad by default in my eyes Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Hassat Hunter Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I disagree. Halo gave us vehicle combat in FPS and rechargeable health (or shields). And that's an evolution instead of a devolution? Meh, I hate vehicles and rechargeable health/shields. If HALO is responsible for that ****... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

sorophx Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 rechargeable shields make more sense than insta-heal first-aid kits in other games do imho at least if you place the enemies right. it helps making the game more dynamic, at least that's how I see it. and come on! vehicles are the shiznit! especially for co-op multiplayer battles Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.
