ATTN: Halo Bashers

Have fun with your flawed and unbalanced game, but don't go and call other people's games shit. In fact, if you want to debate it, I can find stacks upon stacks of reasons of how Halo is better *cough* better balanced, skill matters, and hit detection isn't buggier than a Louisiana swamp*cough*, but I don't go out of my way to go talk shit about BC2 24/7. If you don't like a game, fine, but don't go off the beaten path to simply insult the people that like the game.

Thank you.

Finally someone says it.

No, it's more than Tominator.

Halo sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sucks many things that I won;t post!


Yes I said it. I can say it to because I play it. For all it's suck I enjoy it.


HAHA I paid my 60 bucks so I can say it sucks and I can also say I play it it.

Insulting person for playing a particular game is prohibited in this place.

If you feel insulted by someone's post let it be known, and ask for clarification.

Also, tolerance people. Tolerance.

Yea I meant to ask in my post but forgot.

Was there a Halo bashing thread and I missed it? Cause I cormfussded.

No, but the typical shit that I see.

"Halo is gay"
"Halo sucks"
"BC2 is better"
"Hurr Durr"

I play it.

It blows sheep one minute and the next it's "ok".

But the inconsistency of the online play is more rage inducing than rubber knifing 4x in a row!

You know the funny thing about people saying that Halo sucks, is that they can't even make an argument behind it...

That is not Halo bashing, but expressing of one's opinion.

If it is said as "Halo sucks because BC2 is better", now that is bashing.

I tried playing Halo 3 last night, and totally forgot the controls. Once I paused the game to look at how they worked, I said "fuck this, I'm going to bed."
I totally forgot you couldn't ADS. It made me sad.

Well MP BC2 is better. Halo campaign is way better. I said it. It is law.

HAHA

Dude people are going to hate. I wouldn;t let it bother you.

BF SP?????

DICE stop it!

BF campaign was the suck! I think they made the campaign for when the servers where down early on after release because that is the only time I played it.

All flashy lamas like Halo. They just can;t help themselves. MP still is the suck.

u mad cause they dont have a long range shotty and create a class op weapons available for you

you also forget that reach isnt over yet

were just getting started

I would rather have it like the old BF series, where there is no story whatsoever, besides the map background explanation in loading screen (e.g. Port Gibraltar in BF2142 it explains why PAC is attacking EU in Gibraltar from dried up sea), and make people learn how MP works with bots.

Like I said though, the arguments of a couple people are irritating me, but there is one specific person who I won't mention, that bashes Halo and CoD, and their argument sounds like this:

Roses are blue
Violets are red
I have to go to the bathroom

(Invisible bonus points to whoever can guess what child's show it's from)

Also, like your counter-argument DRGN, despite it having no backbone or supporting opinion as to why you think that whatsoever.

Battlefield story modes have always been awful, it's probably what they do during the last two weeks of the dev cycle before the game drops.

lol waterfalls and trickle.

forge
better air controls

Just let people bash and continue to enjoy <insert game here>.

I have to say I'm enjoying Halo, but I am a far better Battlefield player. It is a little annoying to me how weak some of the weapons are. The matchmaking system is also complete and total crap, but that's ok. I'll let it slide. Need. More. Credits.

I've always played Halo, but I haven't played Reach yet at all. After ODST I was very disappointed, I don't know why, but I was just left wanting more. I played the Reach beta, and it was just another Halo MP experience. No real tactics to it, just run around and shoot people. Since Halo 3 I've many other MP games and have learned that FPS's don't begin and end with Halo. My main gripe with it is this: the community, a bunch fan boys that believe that they are gods on Earth because they can spawn kill you the whole match. I may even get this one mainly because my brother loves Halo and got it the day it came out, and it's one of the few games we can play together. I prefer BC2 over Halo, I even got Fallout 3 over Halo today, but I do believe Halo takes very little skill to play, or to be good at. This is not to bash it, but this is my opinion after playing games like BC2, MW2 (like it or not, there is skill required to play it), GoW (my personal favorite), or even War for Cybertron, Halo just makes it really easy to find someone, and shoot them. Once again it's my opinion.

I'm not a fanboy, but I willl admit that Halo takes more skill to play than BC2/CoD. If there are no power weapons, it comes down to who's a better aim and knows how to effectively manuever, not who was camping the entire game with a weapon that kills you in two shots, or connection (most of the time), or anything like that. It's not nearly as tactical, but it takes more raw skill to win in a firefight.

I think it mostly comes down to who has more experience with how the game works.

I haven't played Reach yet outside the Beta so I don't know what's been fixed. I've never really enjoyed halo to point I enjoy other games now, but Halo is a very popular game for reason, I just never really liked the community online. I respect the people here too much to bash a game they like, I will just agree to disagree on some points, and move on. I do agree with not bashing a game however, but I just want everyone to see that there is a way to voice a opinion with out insulting someone.

Okay, I'll step off the soap box..

I'd agree with Dr. Bob that Halo is a more skill intensive game than BC2 or CoD. Halo is not always about who gets the drop or who has the best reflexes. There's a lot of strategy and room for skill to come into play in regular combat experiences. You know, when do you shoot, when do you melee, when do you grenade, when do you use your armor ability? I also enjoy the olden deathmatch nods, like running a route to keep control of the power weapons.

Thank you.

Also, DRGN, for the SP, you should try out the first Halo sometime, it was by far the best one.

Yea I've been thinkin about downloading it. I still have Dragon Age I want to play so it may wait.

the first Halo was very very good. I don't really bash Halo, I like it sometimes, but to me it's kinda mindless you know?

I don't know, I zone out far more playing BC2 or CoD, because half of the time, it' just me sprinting to an objective, and shooting somebody requires only a fraction of a second of my attention. In Halo, you have to try not to fight multiple people (which I actually think is stupid, but whatever), killing somebody requires you to focus to shoot them repeatedly, and when you injure them, to quickly track them down and finish them off before their sheilds regenerate. Also, you have to look for power weapons/users of power weapons, and get/avoid them as much as possible.

Which is odd. Maybe I am playing a mode your not but when I play rumble pit I come in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, typically. I find it easier than BC2.

When I am looking for mindless fun I play Halo, when I want some strategy team MP I play BC2 with friends.

I guess it seems mindless because the fighting is just strafe, fire, jump, throw grenade, wash rinse repeat. Not trying to say there is no stratagy, or anything like that but every encounter is the same in the sense that you just do those thing over and over

Yes I would agree with what Terry said. most of the people I see are jumping and throwing plasma grenades. Over and Over and FUcking Over!

Same could be said about any FPS though. CoD is spawn, throw frag,sprint, dropshot, shoot, kill, sprint, spray, kill, sprint, drop shot, kill.

BC2, sprint (slowly) towards where you want to go, aim, shoot, sprint some more, aim well, shoot, sprint some more, shoot, etc.

HAHA Fox how do you sprint slowly?

Because in BC2, you run as if your character took a shit in his pants, and kinda waddles his way to where he wants to go, lol.

What's wrong with a little poop in your pants? Crap man if all those bullets where flying my way. I think I would poop in my pants.

LOL

halo for me is straight up firefight shooting skill, where in cod and bc2 there is flanking killstreaks and weapon classes making it more strategy based.

Precisely, I love all of the games (yes, even BC2, despite it's many flaws), but that's what I've been trying to say.

What you sayin?

Yeah that is true Bob I'll give you that, but I guess what I'm refering too kinda has to do with the class setup, and vehicles. Every time you spawn in Halo it's the same exact tactic and goal. Shoot people. At least in BC2 you have different classes, and situation that call for a specific class.

And don't say "halo has different classes" becasue choosing between which gun and ability you use dosn't make for a big enough distiction to call it a class.

All that being said I know exactly what your talking about Bob, and I support that cause. I too play Halo and despite the fact that most of the people who play the game suck (not at the game, they suck at being people) I wouldn't accuse anyone here of being "that guy"

What Henry just said. >_>
