Gamespy Title Fight

[Sparta]

Yeah, fair enough, but i'll take a couple of jumping puzzles over 20 minutes of a level of complete repetition. and even though Halo does have some really good AI, i still think the Assasins and Black Ops in Half-life and Opposing Force are the hardest guys to kill (unless you have grenade launcher ammo)

Hahahahahhaa, Halo did suck, i had it for PC and it was just boring snoring. I bear no ill towards MS, or bungie, but the game is still pretty gay. It was just so overhyped... and boring.

you didnt state how or why.
name calling without just cause or evidence (even if its opinionated) goes right up there with the description, "Immature," buddy....

...Gearbox had the best incarnation of CZ in the works, VALVe's the one that gave the word to can the project and switched to Raven..

Bah, CZ was to be co-op under Gearbox's helm.. :|
/me cries when he thinks of the crappy version of CZ that will make its way to stores

It didnt apeal to me, too cartoony the weapons sucked, the aliens sucked, the vehicles were cool. But the game does suck. Name calling? wtf, this is a game title contest.

Halo had the most crapilly repetitive levels I've seen in a game since Wolfenstien 3D. There was just room after room of the same enemies, including those little ones that seemed so innocent and made me feel bad when they died. Everything is dull and uninspired, the weapons lack any feel of power, there was absolutely nothing visually that blew my mind, just a lot of shiny shaders.

 

[Wesisapie]

I agree with ElFuhrer

 

[epsil0n]

-_-.....

i give up.. well... in any case the game sold really well and there was mostly positive reviews and i guess even though i wished the original design and nOT the "Cartoony" Xbox version came out, it is what it is and i still appreciate it......and apparently so do alot of other ppl... just not on fan sites belonging to other games.
::scratches head::

but...what about Halo 2?.....u cant watch that huge E3 trailer and honestly tell me its "Cartoony" in any way... i mean come on future urban alien warfare?....the dark and serious nature of it? ....

siighhh...

you have evidence.. although all disputable...but still props to ya for trying.

1. repetitive levels... i COMPLETELY agree with you on this one... Bungie has mentioned it wouldnt happen again .. hehe..drove me fuggin insane thats for sure

2. variation of enemies: there were near the area of almost 20 different types of enemies......thats not that bad compared to most.. i mean theres even a point where youre fighting covenant, machines, AND this weird infested zombie shit all at once...

3. as for the innocent ones.. yea .. they were fun werent they? tee hee.. i loved walking up on the sleeping ones and smackin em dead with a gun.... or better yet when they ran. they were just pure pleasure for me.

4. dull an uninspired....well... im not exactly sure how to rebuttal this one...i think covering every terrain from beach to forrest to snow to swamp to space and different human as well as alien weaponry as well as human and alien vehicles as well as alot of other features seems to go against.. DULL.. and if u mean appearences... ha.. .are you joking? what game compares visually to it when Halo came out???? (p.s. ... those "shiny shaders" you mention are mostly bump maps... what games are JUST NOW starting to come out with.. such as doom 3 and half life 2, my friend... they were ahead of their game and halo had it down pat and beautiful everywhere you looked and ran super smooth on a CONSOLE no less, thats how many years old? but if u mean gameplay.. idk.. i personally feel the game has some of the smoothest animations ive ever seen and of course allt he other features i mentioned earlier...?

5. lack any feel of power : !?! are you serious? the rocket launcher that recoils your whole screen? the macmillian that leaves a smoke trail and makes a god awful boom? the shotgun which takes down even the heavier ones? the rod gun which takes up literally HALF YOUR SCREEN??.......


hehe. but u are right about SOME of the maps. (only the library and PART of the snow level had this prob) and as the other guy said it at times DOES have a colorful feel to it.. i think thats just bungie tho.... even tho theyve gone alot darker for Halo 2...

your turn.

I think we should stop talking about halo and give more thought into what has a chance at winning the title.

 

[MultiVaC]

Well, I found the overall gameplay a bit dull. Nothing really interesting happened during the fighting. Take some of the scenes from the HL2 E3 videos. The Hydra smashing the guy into the ground, the Ant Lion bursting through the wall, the Strider blowing away the bridge thing, the gunship hovering above the telephone wires. All these things were really cool to watch, and it made things seem more real, like there was an actual full-scale battle going on. Halo didn't have much of this. Most of the time I found myself in a room with a bunch of enemies to shoot. Alot (but not all) of the environments were just boring. Shiny corridors. And the weapons did seem a bit hollow (not literally, lol) to me. They felt kind of like toys. I think that's enough for tonight, it's been nice talking to you .

Edit: Well isn't Halo a competitor for the Gamespy title? I think it's a pretty relevant, because we just might see HL up against it.

hehe... good points and thanks for explaining.. good to hear. yea just as in HL there were points where you fought alone (mostly) and times when u fought while others faught (Even tho you never had allies with guns short of barney = useless) ... there were occasions for both in halo as well... alot of on your own as hero stuff.. and sometimes like the snow level with a tank, there were explosions and tanks and military etc...idk...

good talk.. and in any case watch the Halo 2 video from E3... it has wwaaaayyy more action in it (full scale planetary war) than hl2 e3.... but hey thats halo TWO, though, right? ...

oh and yea... halo IS relevant.. cuz it IS in the title fight. but yea, good talk.

It was, until it got knocked out

 

[epsil0n]

Yeah even though Halo is an interplanetary war and all...i'm not hyped about it at all, because i just have this feeling its going to have the exact kinda gameplay that was in the first one. Pointless shoot-em-up for half the level, and then you find out what you're supposed to do. It'll be good, but come on............HL2 vs Halo 2.....seriously....its a no-brainer

 

[CrazyHarij]

I love halo. Opinion, not a fact.

Stop the ****ing flamewar, this has already been discussed and closed by mods far too many times.

 

[Dark Angel]

We need a plan find the strongest game and vote against it so as to give a lesser game the win and then when they actually fight our game team HL yeah .. we can crush them easy because they have no real fan base they had us in there last match see we need to watch these matches closly and support a loosing team.

So without futher adue lets talk some more about HALO and lets knock it out of the ballpark anything that can generate that much publicity is a danger to our HL the way i see it. j/k ---> 'not' hehe maybe ?

Dont look at this as which games deserve or try to rationalize them for what is better but we need to see what games have the most fans backing them and then we support the lesser and this should wipe the compition out.

So lets pull together and get organized we wont win if we are talking about everyone else winning. No Rambo's we need to discouse it first !

Hope you guys are with me on this i think its a good plan...

 

[Dark Angel]

ok im devising a little stratergy its only segustions you can all post your thoughts and im sure when the clicking starts we may have to alter things so stay tuned and give some info as to what your thinking ok.

Im thinking doom needs to get burned it had a 80+ fan base over its new match Res evil had only 50+ /// lets back Res evil on this match.

EQ
Dues
Castle im thinking EQ has to take a fall but not for because it had better fan base on this one but because its one of the top MMO games and could actually burn us all if the fan base gets word of there is a compition. i think maybe voting onthe extra life team is a good bet here is knocks out dues x as well, they actually gave us a loosing team the extra life team to knock out 2 good teams /// your thoughts guys ??

the mario and tony hawk are not my field so will have to decide on them /// guys ??

Knock out pac man and let tetris win on this next match cuz tetris only had a total under 2k fans so they cant even come close to us and pac man had 3k votes poses a threat possible / // ??

Im looking at supporting street fighter in the next match they also had a very small fan base under 2k total votes in last match and final fantasy is a extra life game but i think keeping it dead is a good idear its one that could possibly raise soldiers to fight and we dont want that /// thought guys ???


defenatly need to knock out GTA vice city it had more fan base in last match if you notice the scores and total posts and im going to stop here we dont need to get way ahead of ourselves /// thought on this ???
