Title: Halo
Post by: Blaze on January 22, 2010, 05:26:25 PM
I doubt anyone plays it here, the only person I know is Bakagringo.

If you want to add me to Xbox LIVE then my GamerTag is xBlazeUK.

My Bungie.net profile: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=xBlazeUK&sg=0

If ever you want ot play a game of Halo 3 (or even 2), hit me up, although I can get very competitive.

I play in mostly Team Snipers, MLG, Social Slayer and Big Team Slayer, but if there's a double exp weekend on I'll go for that.

I really love the Halo franchise. Out of all the games I own for my 360, it's the one I play the most, with Assassins Creed II and Oblivion coming in a close second.

Lol, I'd take you up on your offer but a couple months ago my Xbox got the 3/4ths ring of death. Dx

Thought, MLG? Everyone knows Action Sack's where all the cool kids hang out. xP

I don't find action sack fun, you get completely butt-raped by generals :p

Action sack just isn't my thing, I prefer much more comptetitive play, especially snipers...

...all my friends refuse to play with me on a competitive basis, I would own them all, so we end up doing some light-hearted custom games.

I kind of play, I'm not very good though, and I've only been on about once in the past month. My gamertag is the same as my username.

hmmm why play Halo when Call of Duty exists??
Although, I have to admit forge is pretty jokes.

Because, in my opinion, Halo 3 is better than any of the Call of Duty series.

I will tell you why.

Firstly, in CoD, anyone can kill anyone. All it takes is a couple of shots because the guns were so poweful, so you get killed by noobs all the time, whereas in Halo, if a noob came up to be firing his gun, I'd rape him (probably jump over and assassinate, or no scope with sniper if I had one).
Halo 3 requires skill to play well.

Secondly, the campaign. The CoD campaign has no real playback value, but Halo 3 has skulls and terminals to collect, and four different difficulties, as well as vidmaster achievements. CoD holds no real value for someone who doesn't have Xbox LIVE.

Thirdly, the matchmaking. CoD has less "playlists" and the spawn system is completely broken. Also, the variety in gameplay in Halo definitely trumps Call of Duty And, Halo has vehicles. Flying ones too.

Fourthly, the features. Halo has theatre mode, forge, better maps, more customizable gametypes and far different guns.

With the addition of Halo 3: ODST the gap between the Halo franchise and CoD has increased, with Halo coming out front.

Sorry, but I couldn't just stand there and listen to someone insult one of the best games ever.

Well that's fine and I have to admit that Halo DOES have some pretty cool features, such as holding two separate weapons in different hands. However having owned and played both I much prefere the Call of Duty series. And also about the campaign, Halo may have more playback value. BUT Call of Duty has that slight sense of realism, which makes it all the more fun to play :)

I just watched and I think it will be the best console game of 2012. I need to get my Xbox fixed ASAP. You can only play the Multiplayer Beta if you have ODST? This game will be epic :D.

I used to play a lot, but started playing CoD lately.  There's going to be a MLG event in Raleigh this year though, so I may pick it up over the summer and get good, so I can play in the tourney.  Should be a lot of fun.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is more fun than Halo, in my opinion. Halo is by far better than the rest of them, though. I'm actually lending out my copy of Halo 3: ODST right now to a friend. He wanted to play the beta for Halo: Reach. So, I don't have it. When I get it back though, I'm usually up for a game of MLG, SWAT, or anything involving the battle rifle.

I sorry to say that Halo Reach has not yet shown any signs of a battle rifle, only the DMR. But if I find anything I will post it. And Im sorry that you beleive COD4 is better than HALO. I may even agree if halo didnt have forge... but it does, and this is Y its a great game. COD 50cal not kill a person in one shot any ways and it should blow a hole arm off.

I am aware that there is no Battle Rifle; I've played it. I don't really mind, either. I can get over it. But I never mentioned Forge, because Forge has absolutely no effect on Halo's gameplay. With, or without, Forge, Halo still plays the same. I love Forge, and think it is a great addition to the game. It still has no bearing on the multiplayer, which I was talking about.

I believe forge is everything, with forge on top of custom games its like making your own game.
Witch changes the multiplayer experience up all the time, it feels like there is a new DLC every week
And without forge there is no way HALO could continue, it would be CODHALO then. And It sounded like you didn’t get to play the beta so sorry that I misunderstood. ;D

I have a problem that forces me to stick up for HALO No matter what, so sorry if I seem rude. LOL

Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 03:45:38 AM
Halo: Reach is going to be one of the best games ever released. Bungie have really outdone themselves with this one, and the beta was just awesome. Its really a shame that the BR hasn't made an appearence, and the DMR didn't leave a good impression on me. I agree with Marissa about the community aswell. Its hard to have a game with people who only want to have fun and you can talk to without the abuse while still waiting for the game to start. Kinda why i only play custom games on Halo now.

And on the matter about Cod v Halo, i believe halo to be the better game. Not only does Bungie care about the players, with infinity award has proven they do not, but it also has less hackers, bigger customable potential, a mode where you can go and see videos of previous games and take images of those games, a file share, 4 player co-op and no stopping power perk. I hate that perk, it has its uses, but i expect a player who just started playing the game to use it, not every player who i play against. It just makes killing to easy, no challenge. Personally the only thing that draws me to CoD:Mod2 is the realism of the game. CoD:Mod2 was a good game, until the hackers/aim bot users came in after the release of the first map pack. Before that, it was pretty decent.

Hah, now fallout is a great game, even though i only ever played fallout 3. Never got into the series before that. I can't wait for Fallout: New Vegas to come out. But another game i can't wait for is fable 3. Always been into that type of game.
Title: Re: Halo

Fable 3 I have to agree, there is so many good games coming out this year, another game Dead Rising 2 :)
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 04:05:07 AM
Now that is a game i could play for hours and not get bored. Just so many weapons and so little time, And the fact theres a never ending horde of zombies makes it a double plus. I knew this year was going to be tough on the wallet. But i didn't think it would be this tough. Crackdown 2 is another game i want to get.
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 04:10:28 AM
LittleBigPlanet 2, Max Payne 3, and Cod Black ops are all games I want to get :), im not sure if Black ops will be good but Max Payne 3 and LittleBigPlanet 2 should be
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 04:16:12 AM
I think its too soon for another CoD game, being has they are still releasing DLC for modern warfare 2. But since treyarch ( i think thats how they spell it) are making it, i suppose it should be good, since world at war was a major success, even without nazi zombies.
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 04:22:38 AM
Naw I'm playing with my friends right now and they said mw2 is getting boring and they can't wait for black ops, also mw2 map packs suck like they are not worth 15 dollars
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 04:31:52 AM
Well for 5 maps, i suppose its a fair price. But none of them gave the game a new way to play. Still the same old stuff, just a new area. And to be honest, when your about to shoot someone, you don't really care about the scenary.
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 04:35:51 AM
true but the only new map I like is Bailout and the old ones are ok :)

also still haven't tried the new map packs (Ps3 user)

Ah, well theres not alot special. Trailer park makes you think about what path to use since pretty much everything is a maze of open trailers. But thats the only one i like from resurgance.
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 04:48:39 AM
hmm interesting I'll prolly buy the new map packs because of my friends, any other ones I'm not getting I would just wait for black ops
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 04:52:14 AM
I wonder if black ops will have a 4 player co-op wave defence mode like nazi zombies. Although i can't really see them pulling that one off again, unless its really good.

Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 05:16:57 AM
I don't think that can happen, more little kids like the wii for many reasons so families buy them. Sony has a better console than Microsoft but Microsoft's Online is so much better than Sony's

Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 05:24:07 AM
I thought as much. Its pretty pointless making something free then making people pay for it. It would only drive people away from the ps3 and take them to the 360, or wii. I would like a ps3, mainly so i could then compare the two consoles. I can;t really say ones better then the other without playing them both.
Title: Re: Halo

Well I had an xbox360 and I can say is they equal each other in ways no one could describe lol

Lol so they are pretty much the same, just depends on the games that come out for them.
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 05:32:18 AM
Hell yeah lol, Halo Reach and Gears of War 3 make me want to get a xbox360, when I had my xbox360 I played gears of war 1 and 2, goes the same for halo games expect for ODST and Halo Wars
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 05:40:45 AM
Never got into gears, unfortunatly. I should give it a go some time soon. But Halo:ODST and Halo wars, oh those games make me happy. Halo wars is alot better then i ever expected it to be. Some of the battles on the game can only be descriped as epic, and it really makes you think of what you need to do as soon as the game starts. ODST is a good case of being someone so powerful, then becoming a weaker version. The campaign is alot harder then in halo 3, and the firefight mode is definatly more difficult then expected. Shame it has no match making capabilities, it kinda forces you to have 3 freinds with you constantly.
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: YouHearThat on June 28, 2010, 05:56:24 AM
If I ever get an xbox360 again, I'll buy Halo Wars and Halo ODST to see their storylines. Gears of War storyline is very interesting and playing with a friend or family member is really fun
Title: Re: Halo
Post by: ninja neb on June 28, 2010, 05:59:13 AM
Both games have good storys. i prefer halo wars to halo:ODST's story but you can see for yourself if you ever get them. I guess i might try and get gears 1, although i won't bother using the online. I got halo for online play.
Title: Re: Halo

Fallout: New Vegas > Halo Reach > CodMW2

^^ this is what I believe :)

I know I'm super late in saying this but I just wanted to make a comment on this.

I personally believe... That CoD MW2, Fallout New Vegas and Halo Reach are too different of games to really be compared to each other like that. Pretty much the only thing that ties them together is that they are all FPS games.

#1 Fallout is an RPG. You can affect how strong your character is by leveling up different skill attributes. You do quests and side missions and pretty much have free reign over how you want the story to play out.

#2 Halo Reach is more of a classic type shooter in the fact that you cannot use iron sights and the bullets use hitscan. The campaign, while being epic in its own way, will be linear as well. It borrows a lot of ideas from other games (loadouts, not like MW2 create a class though) but it is still Halo.

#3 Modern Warfare 2 is a very progressive, modern shooter. It, like Halo and a lot of other FPS games, has a linear campaign. The multiplayer borrows from RPGs a little by giving you level advancement and rewards for doing certain things in the game (Halo Reach does this as well). MW2, unlike Halo Reach, has killstreak and deathstreak awards, titles, and no vehicle warfare.

I just wanted to point those things out. Not trying to put you down or anything! :)

(tl;dr version - Fallout is an RPG. Halo is a fantasy shooter. MW2 is a modern shooter. There ya go.)

Here's mine (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=xBlazeUK&sg=0), Highest Skill 45, in Team SWAT, but I also play a lot of MLG.

Halo: Reach is looking pretty sick at the moment, I keep up to date with all of the ViDocs on Bungie.net and the forums, and the new content they reveal every week is mind blowing. I'm definitely going to buy this game, the Beta sold me to it.
