Guess which game does not have locational damage.

[brink's]

This sounds extremely familiar...like there's another big FPS game that starts with H and ends with 2 that has this same problem...damn I can't think of the name of it.

How so?

Ok, i need to say one thing here, it feels like everyone is personally attacking me for stating an opinion, and saying that im a HL2 fanboy picking on Halo2......and i think you're maybe being a little bit reactionary about it. I didn't mean to be "picking on it" I was trying to point out a feature that I, as a gamer, thought they would have had in it....not because i think HL2 is any better than Halo2, but because I LIKE BUNGIE. This is a feature that i feel adds to the game, and I was personally upset that it wasn't going to be in the game,and that was all i was trying to say.

I have been called "pathetic..annoying...sad....hypocritical" and been accused of "trolling" so far in this thread, even after I apologized for my initial post. I guess that wasn't good enough so here you go...I apologize for my poor choice of wording on the title of the thread, I apologize for voicing my opinion in a way that you guys all found offensive, I apologize for apparently being an idiot in all things under the sun, I apologize for any insults you may have felt I slung. Most of all I apologize for attempting (as misguided and idiotic an attempt as it apparently was) to start a conversation. Had i known it was going to make me feel like this big a pile of shit, i never would have bothered. thnx for th ego boost.

Not that I particularily care about this "civilized discourse", but the Halo side seems to be defending itself by saying that Halo 1 had it. I think that Bleeder was trying to say that Halo 2 doesn't...even if Halo 1 did.

Also, if they didn't make locational damage because it would be to hard to aim, then it is a problem with the X-box hardware and not the game's problem.

 

[Moto]

It's okay Bleeder. I still love you.

 

[Sparta]

Not to mention hypocritical, in this case at least.

But yeah I'm going to go with pathetic as the most fitting description as well.

Edit: nevermind

 

[destrukt]

I apologize for voicing my opinion

you didn't post an opinion, you were trying to state that halo2 doesn't have locational damage.

you can't have an opinion about this type of thing, it's like trying to have an opinion about the sun rising or not - we all know the answer.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Aww, don't be mean to Bleeder, guys

There are many pro's for this feature, if it's true. The hitpoints have been removed for more realism and all you have is the shield, once the shield is down you can only take one or two bullets at max before dying, this is mainly to increase speed and pace.. If they then had in locational damage it'd make the players stop to aim at the head, something that is much harder with an Xbox controller than with a mouse, so it'd slow the game down. And like Sidewinder said, the bullets hit the shields which have the same amount of protection everywhere on the body.

I'm not trying to protect Halo 2, don't think of me as a H2 fanboy (I am equally hyped for both HL2 and H2), I'm just saying that Bungie would have reasons for not having locational damage if they removed it.

Then again, it'd be weird if they didn't have locational damage on the enemy troopers without shields like Grunts and Jackals, they had that in Halo aswell.

 

[Bleeder]

Destrukt.....it was my opinon that that was a bad thing. No need for the sarcasm.

 

[Ryjalon5k]

HALO 2! Meaning shooting a guy in the foot will kill him as fast as shooting him in the head. and before anyone flames me about it, the sniper rifle "registers" a headshot if you hit them in the head, however hitting them in the head does not do more damage. I don't know about you guys, but I actually feel insulted by that, that is one of those things that has been done in FPS for awhile now, but they couldn't be bothered, so now the whole game is one big spray and pray fest. It just seems stupid....why regress the genre?

I must say that you are speaking complete and utter bullshit, the original halo had location damage, and so will halo2.

 

[Homercidal]

Fear not, Xbox boys! Now you can buy an adapter from Lik-Sang which will allow you to plug a KB/Mouse into your Xbox and permits faster turns, and more accurate aiming. You game can become fluid and more natural, bringing a realism in movement unparalleled by any other modern technology.

The days of the Xbox fan having to dream about playing their favorite games on the PC, just for the advanced control options are near an end.

 

[Foxtrot]

I don't understand the logic behind locational sheild damage, wouldn't the sheild take just as much damage no matter where you shoot it? I guess bleeder lives in a different world with different physics than we have.

I got mine in over a week ago, and while it is definately more comfortable to use than a controller, it's not quite as effective as what you are suggesting. It still can't compare to mouse movement in PC games, but it gets the job done. About the only problems I have had so far is vehicle turning in Halo and the possibility that it might not be good enough in actual close combat multiplayer battles, which I have not gotten to test yet.

If you hate controllers for FPS though it's a good purchase for sure.

 

[Zeus]

Guess who is a HL2 fanboy?

 

[destrukt]

ya destrukt, stop bein an ass. infact to me it sounds like ur trolling, saying halo2 is better and is gunna sell more.

do you know what trolling is?

also, i was stating a fact. so far halo2 is set to sell more though in the future hl2 could overtake it.

please, please read my posts and sit there pondering for >2 hours.

 

[Burn]

In this day and age its abit crud not to have it, even on a console with some skill you can aim at the head. Why people are flaming Bleeder for posting this is beyond me.

If you use a mouse n keyboard for an xbox..then an Xbox is 95% like a pc. Ecspecially when
-You can play alot of Xbox\PS2\Gamecube\N64\Ps1\Gameboy\Nintedo 1, NES, etc..nearly any damn console system imaginable.. games on the PC(Emulators, fully legal as long as you own the game).
-Pc's can use..controllers...

Someday, consoles will keep advanced in features and they will just turn out to be a PC. If Consoles systems somehow take over the market and PC gaming dies down well...that will actually HURT console systems.

What do people who make console games design there levels and there graphics on? Im pretty sure not the console, I'd say..the PC. If no one makes new tech for the PC then the console game makers can't design new graphics techniques, then it will only hurt Consoles.


Locational Damage would make sense. Though I think I already know the main reason why they don't have it. I bet you they took alot of little things out because of FPS(Frames per Second) issues. I bet you that was why. That, they took out alot of minor stuff just to boost the FPS.

Which would simply go to show the Xbox's age.

You think new technologies would cease to be made because PC gaming died? So wrong...where do I start? If they make all the games on PCs then that alone is a reason to upgrade PCs, to supply the developers of games with new technology(and movie makers and everyone else who uses computers).

 

[Murray_H]

Does anyone know any UK retailers that sell the Xbox keyboard thing?

 

[GhostValkyrie]

To Bleeder: Hey, guess which game wasn't even pushed back a year beyond it's original date? Halo 2. Original date: DEC 2003. New Release Date: Tonight at 1201 AM. Now I love both, and think they will both be great games to experience. I'm just pointing out something, like you decided to.

 

[Soundwave]

Afaik, it's only available at Lik-Sang.com

I ordered from there and had no problems, if you want it now I recommend that site fully.

 

[Cole]

I laugh at anyone who thinks a year is a long time to wait..
Wasn't Sc:Ghost oringal release date Nov. 2002?
Its been held back 3 times. It's now set for a 2005 date....
lol...

I'm not talking about pc games... I'm talking about console games..

You think new technologies would cease to be made because PC gaming died?

I never said "cease" thats to harsh. I Never said Pc Gaming dies.

If no one makes new tech for the PC

Does that say
-No one makes new tech for the pc?
--Meaning, No one is making tech for the pc.

-If no one makes new tech for the PC
--Meaning, what it everyone just stopped making new tech for the pc...what if...

I never said It did, I just saying that if it did.



HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE MISINTERPERATE ME ALL THE TIME, AM I THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND!

 

[Bleeder]

Ghostvalkryie, guess which game didn't have it source code stolen? ;P besides, I've already stated in this thread that I think both of them are going to be good........or didn't you read my posts either?

 

[destrukt]

gabe openly stated the source code theft did not drastically alter the release date.

 

[Ownzed]

Wow...that's pathetic..Halo 2 isn't that great after all.
