Halo 3!!!

Re: Halo 3!!!

There are 2 great FPS multiplayer games in my book.. Goldeneye on the N64 and Halo2 on the Xbox. If you have not taken the time to learn the options and depth of both, you are missing out.

Sure counterstrike (and cs source) are good fun and so are a few other FPS games but most of them are limited in gametypes and configuration and lack the incredible matchmaking system of Halo2.

And yes, the campaign sucks.

Re: Halo 3!!!

Goldeneye will forever be the #1 FPS when we adjust for the system. Not fair to compare the XBox with the N64. Also, Goldeneye was a fairly early N64 game... later games like Mission Impossible and Perfect Dark just couldn't compare, despite having newer functions/technology.

Mission Impossible

Hardest. Spy game. EVER. I can't tell you how many times I've failed a mission in that game. The first level was easy as pie the first time I played it, but then I decided to master the level, since I knew exactly what to do, but somehow ended up ALWAYS getting filled with lead or getting run over by a truck. And then there was that one level where you have to poison the Ambassador, follow him to the bathroom, and figure out a way to knock him out with getting his attention. ONE time I actually succeeded in doing this, and then I was loooking around in the bathroom for the Facemaker, and I turn around and BAM there's this chick RIGHT THERE and she blows my face off with a pistol she had in her purse.
It was so hard. ;_;




Anyways, regarding the trailer...

Cortana reminded me a lot of SHODAN, except SHODAN > Cortana x 500000000

I am not comparing graphics or hardware of these games, I am talking strictly about gameplay. Being a huge fan of GoldenEye, I can say that the Halo2 multiplayer system gives me the same feeling of playing a well thought out multiplayer environment where everything works as it should. They are both even on terms of gameplay with Halo2 having an advantage in the area of their matchmaking routines because of the xbox live hookup.

Re: Halo 3!!!

The BR was one of the main things that made Halo 2 fun. The pistol just isn't as cool. It could hit people at a long range sometimes, it had a scope, it did damage in multiple shots, and it could easily kill people in mid-short range. You also have multiple choices of gametypes where you can start out with a BR in every game. Also, BxRing is REALLY FUN WITH A BR. I'll only use a pistol(in Halo 2) if I dual-wield it with a (chargable) plasma pistol, and Halo 1 pretty much makes it a requirement.

Not that the pistol couldn't do a lot of that, but I really liked the multiple shots. I mean, you always either started with a pistol or near a pistol, but it just wasn't as fun. I guess I like bigger weapons.

If it wasn't for the update halo 2 would be way behind halo 1. Sure BXR'ing is fun(I use boxer setting though) but I think the game just isn't as good. It takes so much more skill for halo 1 than halo 2. Yeah, the pistol was overpowering, but everyone started with one. If you knew what you were doing though, it wasn't bad at all.

Bungie also totally screwed the Wizard and the Longest. I mean Warlock is okay, but I can't even play Elongation. = (

A bad thing about halo 2 is the mad autoaim. I mean if you take the rockets, stand pretty far away, then aim to the side of the guy, the rocket seeks to him.

EDIT: Yeah the pistol is three shots and your dead, but unlike the BR's autoaim, you have to have some skill to win a 1 v 1 fight.

Re: Halo 3!!!

Dunlop, I believe you are wrong. Rockets won't track people, only vehicles. And to what extent of "the side" are you talking about?

Also, this whole thing about skill with halo1 vs halo2, I think all the theories are wrong. Just because you are aided with autoaim doesn't make it easier, it makes it more difficult to get away. This means that you need to be more crafty and more strategic in where you go and what you do. Because everyone has the same advantages and disadvantages, it is even.

Or, its a generic FPS copied from PC FPSs but never quite realizes their greatness therefore becoming less than the sum of its parts. That too.

Anyway, I don't play Halo because of the story, I play online. I mean I've beaten the campaign like, twice, but that's about it, in having it for over a year and playing it daily. I must've been online 75 times for every 1 time I bothered with the story mode.

You break controllers.

And jkpolk forces indians to move. Sick fsck.

If you take the crosshair for the rockets and aim it so the entire crosshair is not on a guy, and aim to the side, the rocket will still seek towards the opponent. I guess you could try on Ascension or something. Have someone stand on top of the small tower, and the other guy shoot on the big base.

Autoaim makes it so much easier to kill your opponents. Of course the BR is aided a ton from AA, but say you have the sniper for instance. All you need to do is melee, cancel the melee and then shoot. It will automatically aim for the head, and you'll get the kill.

All I'm saying is if you're playing 1v1 in The Wizard, and 1v1 in Warlock. Playing in the Wizard takes more skill. Not to mention all the grenade tricks to get the OS and Camo down.

EDIT: Not to mention being a good sniper in H1 is harder than being a good sniper in H2.
