I thought Killzone 2 was pretty far from the CGI, the opening scene was good though. Most of the gameplay footage seemed a bit bland but hopefully it will improve.

True, but how they even got close to it was an achievement.

Whether or not it will be a bland shooter or we'll have to wait and see.

About time we had a Halo hate thread. Can all the whiners and emos direct their hate here without cluttering every other Halo thread and annoying everyone else please.

Make it a sticky if need be, these bloody PS3 and Wii people are getting on my ****

its all a bit mmmmmph

reminds me of resistance actually , not the greatest gfx but still looks nice enough , great multiplayer , poo single player

cheets64 · 16 Oct 2007 at 14:52

I liked the single player, storyline wasn't great but its a great shooter, its not trying to be clever like Crysis/Bioshock etc. MP is a bit pants with random people (yanks) but with friends its great

Why do you think there are no 'X is dull' threads for just about every other game? If you think my post was an insult, then you live a sheltered life. I don't think Halo is far from being the perfect game, in fact it doesn't even deserve the accolades it got, but quite frankly I am tired of people like you and everyone else who feel they have to stand on their soapbox all the time.

Halo isn't good ok ok we get the point!!

To be honest, the guy who reviews the games with the flash movies and the fast talking summed it up really well. I can't remember the name of the site though

Couldnt have said it better myself its fine people dont like the game, but do they have to whine in every thread about it?

A great example is

I played it through on legendary and it was just as dire, it just dragged it out for 10 times longer that's all, which made it even more painful to play through.

I actually feel dirty for buying into the hype and purchasing it. What a complete waste of £40.

He cant wait to have a stab at it in any thread about the game

I'll just say this once, if you dont like it, thats fine - sell it and move along. There is no need to keep telling us how much you hate it because we already know.

Because most other games arent put on a pedestal with a halo

D) above their name, however other ones that are usually get the same treatment. If metal gear solid turns out to be mediocre, no doubt these same threads will arise for example

Why do you even click the threads if it winds you up so much, its not as if the content was disguised
I'm sorry but complaining about the fact you wasted 30 seconds reading a very clearly labelled thread is downright silly
As for cluttering up the forum

1 thread on a page is hardly invasive so you cant even use that as an excuse to have them in a sticky

I made a counter-point, well more of a jest to a point made in the thread
You however posted a rant, far as i can see the only person standing above the crowd on a soap box is you

dannyjo22 · 16 Oct 2007 at 16:00

I really liked the single player. I know not many people did, but I found it fun enough. Especially co-op. Multiplayer leaves me a bit flat tbh.

Nothing massively wrong with it just my preference for shooters is more tactical. The voice PTT gets on my ****. A next gen game should not be PTT.

I'd play this game in co-op over and over but not in MP.

Ok.

Can you not try to jog your memory to the day when it was released and the week thereafter? Or do you have a selective memory? What about the dozens of posts in the Official Halo 3 Thread where it's nothing but 'Halo isn't special'? There's been a deluge of people trying their hardest to inform the world that omgsomebodydontlikehalo. How would you feel if people made the same for every other game they played on? It would go nowhere very, very fast.

Curb your enthusiasm and let everyone else get on with what they want to do, tbh.

Oh, and; http://www.halo3sucks.com/ go knock yourself out!

Your being a bit dim by quoting me in any of that matey, I have stated many times that there is a lot about halo 3 that annoys me. Take your assumptions somewhere else.

The point still stands, discussion boards are for a 2 sided debate. If you thougth i called you a fanboi i apologise as i didnt intend to, any following points i will pre-emtively answer with the above by myself...

Nobody is disputing your right to express opinions and beliefs on here Chronic, it's just that it's a dead horse that has been beaten to a bloody pulp already. It's like the Muslims situation in GD/SD.

true enough, i only posted to add a bit of humour into the thread (although that seems to have gone pretty pear shaped).
But what i am confused about is why would you click on the thread, just to post that the thread shouldnt exist (not just you obviously, but you get what i mean). If there were millions of them pushing other threads off the page i would be 100% with you, but as it is at the moment they arent even a minor inconviniece so i really don't see what harm it is to let the die hards scream at each other until they are blue in the face.
I personally find it quite an entertaining read (although most things are more entertaining than watching a blue bar go across the screen)

Just for the record, i thought the game was ok on single player and good on multiplayer (bar the lack of server browser)

bruce · 16 Oct 2007 at 16:24

Strange, i thought the single player was fantastic, great graphics and sound, a very intuitive control system, good A.I. (legendary is a must) its all very epic to me, and i don't normally like sci-fi stuff - hated halo 1 and 2 and Gears of War...

Halo 3 is streets ahead for me. :eek:

In that case, can we have a sony hate thread? All the whiners and emos can direct their hate without cluttering every other PS3 thread, annoying everyone else please.

Do you see the irony?

MadFruit · 16 Oct 2007 at 17:57

This place makes me laugh. If it's not people moaning, its people moaning about people moaning. Then you've got the people moaning about the people who are moaning about the people who are moaning. Ad infinitum.

Either way, it seems you can't voice your opinion without someone having a moan one way or the other.

Me? I'm just laughing.
