Halo...

Phias · Post by **Phias** » Wed Feb 18, 2004 2:51 pm

SUre, there are tons of games out there today that I can't hear enough of...(HUHHUH)

Jedi Academy-crap
Neverwinter Nights:39483498th Expansion-Crap
Manhunt-uhhh..
Vice City-Redundant, Repetitive crap

But Halo is one of those MUST PLAY NOW NOW NOW!!! games that I haven't played yet. All I hear about the game is that it's a gift from the heavenly gods of good and joy, and that anyone who doesn't like it should burn like PECO THE DONKEY.

SO, does it even compare to Bungie's masterpiece Myth: The Fallen Lords?
Is it REALLY the last word in FPS's?
Does it beat Half-Life?

Tell me please, and though me other unenlightened can learn the truth as well.

Vice City is beautiful, and one of the best games I have ever played. Great gameplay, music, voice acting, and ludicrous, excessive style add up to make this game pwn.

But the rest of the stuff you mentioned all sucks.

I agree with your sentiments regarding VC's Voice acting, and style. Maybe I played GTA3 WAY too much, and got bored more easily with VC than one inexperienced with it.

Yeah vice city is just more of the smae, but it's a well done game compared to other more of the same.

Halo is overhyped. Not that good. For consoles, maybe, but for PCs, we've been there and done that.

Myth was great. Myth II was even greater. But Myth III was basically the same thing as Myth II, except with worse graphics.

given my scale of rating first-person shooters i say halo is smack in the middle. it's okay but not great, fun if you have nothing else to do.

just get call of duty instead, nothing beats whacking ze germans around for a few hours.

Myth3 was developped by Wolfpack studios or something, not Bungie. Bungie went to shit since they were bought by MS.

The tree Marathon games were, IMNHO, the best FPS. Myth 1 and 2 were masterpieces, with a revolutionning multiplayer.

You can even notice : The beginning of Halo is very fun, and then it gets the same and gets boring. Actually it gets shit at like the 1/3 of the game.
MS bought Bungie at the 1/3 of Halo developpment.

I'm sure it's go nothing to do but w/e.

Halo is probably the most mediocre game ever. I played it for half an hour on xbox until I got bored

Halo is pretty fun FPS, for a console game. Its single player can get boring fast, but with a friend for coop, or a group for multiplayer, it can be a lot of fun. Still, it doesnt come anywhere near Half-Life. With the all the mods floating around like The Specialists, Wasteland beta 1, and Sven for HL, the game has given a ton of replay value for me and my friends, especially at lan parties.
Vice City is what GTA3 should have been. GTA3 is a poor shell of a game when the two are compared, although I cant help but get slightly bored with vice city because the engine is the same, and many of the cars are similar. Motorcycles are an awesome addition though. Ive been waiting for those to come back to the grand theft auto games ever since the superbike in GTA.

I haven't tried the multiplayer part, but single player for PC sucks (only tested the trial though)! Almost as disappointing as the Deus Ex: Invisible War demo (okay, that was taking it too far).

i enjoyed halo on the xbox, i think i replayed it about 4 or 5 times on each difficulty level. by far the most enjoyable experiance is on legendary.
i sold the xbox after i completed it.
i agree its shite on the pc, but then most crossovers are.

true its a mindless fps, but sometimes thats whats so good about it. plus what games do actually do anything good for your head anyway? fuck it i say, halo is good.

1) I think anything compares better than Myth.

2) Nope, not the last word. It gets in a nice comment.

3) Not since Deus Ex has there been a game that beats half-life.

I enjoyed halo, but one word comes to mind when people call it anything more than just a fun FPS - Overrated.

Ok first of all: How can you not like Myth? Secondly, why the hell would you try to compare it to Halo in the first place? They're completely different games.

I think a somewhat interesting fact to point out is that Jason Jones was the project leader for Myth: The Fallen Lords and Halo.

Halo < Marathon.

Phias · Post by **Phias** » Sun Feb 22, 2004 7:58 pm

I only played Marathon 2, since I could never get my hands on 1.

What's it like?

Damn straight. I miss Bungie.net, I had so much fun playing Myth 1 and 2 on there. The fanmade servers don't compare.
