It's nearly always people who played Halo on PC only by the way.

Hence the reason I decided to buy Halo 2 for the Xbox so I could at least try it on a different platform rather than just base my pov on the Halo 1 port to PC.

What a fanboy comment, have you even played Halo 3.

How can stating your opinion be a fanboy comment?!

Alan Wake? Fable 2?

Don't forget Gears 2 is apparently to be done sometime and probably another Halo game. (aside from Halo Wars)

Hashcake, personal insults and the inability to form your own opinion like so;

The trailer Jihad posted does indeed look better than Halo 2 but my post wasn't my personal oppinion on the graphics (except for the PC version of Halo 2), just the feedback other people had given to me.

isn't the most flattering light to put yourself into.

I must be missing the point? How was I insulting Jihad?
I was agreeing with the graphics in the trailer he posted, how is that an insult?

Mass Effect perchance?

2 months is an awfully long time to wait...

The quote was highlighting your inability to form an opinion on the subject at hand, the insult part would be where you were calling me a 'flame moron'.

That's how it came across because you said 'like some old grumpy sod who bursts the little children's football on the green'.
I made an opinion and it felt like you were attempting to flame me for it.
If I am wrong then I apologise,

I am surprised that if some places are selling it early, that the hackers haven't got it yet.

Halo 2 wasn't great in SP though, it's quite a popular opinion too. Multiplayer wise though there is no doubting it's quality.

Project Gotham Racing 4
Mass Effect
Alan Wake
Fable 2
Gears of War 2
Ninja Gaiden 2

All will sell consoles.

Well if the story is leaked does not mean you have to read it.

Exactly. I've managed to avoid spoilers for BioShock, Halo, Halo 2, Gears of War, Oblivion etc.. in the past without too many problems.

i hate halo for the simple fact every xbox fan boy thinks its the greatest things since sliced bread.

mediocre game imo.

You hate it because people like it? Wow... Honestly nobody cares if you hate it and I'm sure Bungie and Mircosoft wont miss your sale. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

exactly, the number of people that hate it just because its the cool thing to do is ridiculous.

I agree with hashcake, never been blown away by Halo tbf. Halo 2 seemed reasonable enough but by no means groundbreaking or anything. Maybe it is if you haven't grown up on PC shooters and have only played consoles, I dunno.

I'll probably still give Halo 3 a try though

I've been playing PC FPS since wolfenstien but there arn't many games that come close to Halo 1 on the xbox.

I like a sense of realism and i don't think you get that from a PC.There is no feedback and the aiming is far too easy.

Console FPS when done right are far more enjoyable than PC ones imo.

I'm talking about single player games here btw.

Sounds like the comments of someone whos just realised they have wasted £425.

Hehe sounds like it

.

What a stupid and utterly ridiculous comment to make though...geez if a game really gets you that upset then i suggest that you give up gaming on the whole....im not a halo fanboy...never really played the game but i am looking forward to giving it a go on the 360...

NokkonWud · 15 Sep 2007 at 15:51

I'd fully concur with i-bert there. It's rare I'm drawn into a PC FPS, there's only Half-Life which has done that.

Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament were also awesome, but they were arena deathmatch and online.

Feels the same to me. :confused:

The aiming isn't easy it's just a better way to control it so well obviously it may feel easier but that's not exactly a fair comparison.
