Calm and Quiet, Peaceful Console Debate Thread.

well its cuz halo is so repetative. its like cross bridge w/ covenent, walk thru hall, cross bridge with covenant and banshee, repeat all steps 4 times. it was fun the first time, but there is no replay value. plus i've played the first 5 levels like 10 times each and the rest so few, its hard to get started when i accually want to say i finish the game.

 

I agree on single-player, in fact I've never beaten single-player on Halo 1. But, I've been playing Multiplayer with my friends since it came out. Sure we stopped for like 3 months once Halo 2 came out, but we lost interest in those crappy maps/weapons(duel-wielding=crap) and went back to the good version(Halo 1).

 

i was one of the original stand-by'ers in halo 2. it was fun sometimes. multiplayer with halo or halo 2 is fun, but the single player? ... thats all i can say. they need a halo tournament game or something, haha.

 

I'll have to agree, I love halo 1 and 2 multiplayer but I'm not really into either one of the single player modes.

 

yeah i agree as well. the single player campaign was never really outstanding like other fps's. there wasnt much creativity, the objectives were mediocre...lots say the story is really good. but its seems like old alien invasion cliche. although the concept of THE Halo is pretty cool i think.

 

sophisticated aliens are battling to keep a rampant alien species at bay and humans are somewhere stuck in between.

Sounds like Starcraft.

Except Starcraft actually has a good single player and plot.

 

yeah, the world they made is fun, but the games can be lackluster.

 

Yup, but get 8 on 8 in Blood Gulch Capture the Flag, and you could have yourselves a match that lasts 6 hours or more(I was in an 8 hour game once) That is the funnest S*** I HAVE EVER PLAYED! the lower the number gets, however, the less fun you get.

 

Thats where XBL comes in. But I think it will be better in Halo 3 because I'm pretty sure it will probablly support up to atleast 24 players insted of 16.

 

Yes, but XBL only works with the crappy game: Halo 2.

 

i wanna see an online fps with massive numbers of player. Like a war with 50 or a 100 to each side. That would be amazing.

 

i'd like to see a never ending mmorpg that was set in ww2 times. you could pick your side and support them, and fight for them. there can be huge fights and conflicts, aswell as doing things around the base.

 

That would be awesome but I think that sounds like it would be alot better on a PC than a console.

 

I've always wanted to make an MMO that was during the Battle between heaven and hell(whether you believe it was fictional or not,fiction for me ) Anyway, you could deck out your angel, and either be on the devils side, or Gods side. There would be massive battles once a month and whoever one controlled the afterlife for that month and the team got added benefits like stores would sell things to your side cheaper and such.

 

So not long before the PS3 comes out anubis. Remember our long drawn out arguments on what the PS3 will be like and how it will compare to the xbox360? Well the PS3 is nearly here and most of the facts are known.

It looks ok, nice automaitc disc entry, touch sensitive on/off and eject buttons. The controler is adequate but iam still not 100% sure if the motion will take off or be more of a gimmick, however some games are implenenting it well.

Resitance Fall of Man looks very good.

I am still happy with the xbox360 myself but I can see why people would buy a PS3 seeing as its a blue ray player aswell as a games machine which makes the unit quite cheap considering.

 

i wrote like 5 f****** paragraphs on my feelings on th esituation of the ps3 and the 360, and my likes and dislikes of where they are and where they are going and my sh!tty internet disconected like it loves to as i submit it. to top that off, in ie7 when you click back it doesnt have your text saved.. **** charter and ms for wasting 15 minutes of my life.

 

its ok buddy, we all know mS is complete S***

 

@anubis
Same stuff happen to me but I'm on my side kick and couldn't reply.

@ zelda
You can always invest in the hddvd for 360 for another $200 when it comes out, personally I think that where M$ messed up selling the console cheaper instead of selling it with the hddvd player which would have givin hd dvd a a huge lead, but what can M$ do now. I will own a 360 soon also so not to bash on 360. As for the motion controller I don't think sony has to worry to much about it, Nintendo should be the one worried about that because most of their games have that, as for sony if it doesn't work out there's alway the thought of having rumble again on TRUE 1080p HD Games.

 

sometimes, especially when i type fairly long posts i use word to type in and then just copy and paste. i have numerous times going back and forth between tabs and windows accidently closed the wrong one and lost things. extremely annoying but not really anymore

 

yeah i usually copy here and there but i didnt expect to type so much and i figured the one time i didnt wouldnt matter.. i'll probably try again in another month or two when i know much more about both.
