Let's see...Bungie forum, voting on 3 games, only 1 of which is made by Bungie...Can you say, "Biased to the max?"

I've been reading over these posts and I have to say...I agree with Scorponok. Having played the predecessors of all 3 of these games, and being the die-hard gamer that I am, I would have to say Half-Life 2 over both of these games. Sure, I loved Halo, and I believe Halo 2 will be a great game. I just believe that Half-Life 2 will be better.

You know how in most games you can play it over a few times and it's fun, but there's always this part where it's boring and you don't feel like spending the time to play it? Well, Half-Life for me had none of that, while Halo did. The Library...I felt like I was in the same corridor the entire time.

For the new games: I've seen trailers for all the games, and would have to say this: Half-Life 2 has better Graphics, better Physics, and from the stories on the originals...I'd have to say a better story. Sound I couldn't really say, because it's different depending on the card and speakers...Artificial intelligence I really have no clue on, both games seem to have great AI.

EDIT: About my view on copies being sold. I believe Halo 2 will sell more because of it's recent predecessor. Halo won game of the year in 2001, while Half-Life won game of the year in 1998. Let's not forget that Counter Strike is the most widely played multiplayer First Person Shooter on the market right now. Yet just because the youth of today actually REMEMBER Halo winning game of the year, and were a bit to young to remember Half-Life, it will sell more copies. Let's not even start on which is getting more media attention, that's probably the BIGGEST reason Halo 2 will sell more...

Doom 3 I have no comment on, I'll definitely buy it, as it seems like an enjoyable game. I just don't believe it will measure up to Half-Life 2 or Halo 2 however.

On one final note, you guys really need to stop flaming Scorponok. He had an opinion, he presented it. Just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean you need to take up space on the forums with senseless flaming. It's just, (Put simply) a waste of time to read, and to deal with.

Have a nice day,

Epiph

You guys apparently don't know anything about Half Life 2

Half Life 2's interactivity, is far greater than Halo 2
So are the graphics, and the gameplay is good too. The AI is probably more sophisticated, but it has to be, because of the physics and gameplay.

Doom 3 won't just be a running around blowing up zombies down with shotguns either, there are puzzles and things like that.
The graphics are also better than Halo 2.




Remember the last single player stuff we seen was back in E3 2003. Bungie has admitted that they have trune the Graphics and that down quite a bit for multi player. I personaly don't wanna see another Perfect Dark for the N64. Ever played 4 Player with 8 bots running around?? So friend HL2 might be decent but it's not going to hold a candle to Halo2. I have a feeling that HL2 might run about Equal for single player. As for playabily in mp. You gotta tone things down or else you gonna lagg the system out. That was the big problem with PD N64 was it over taxed the system.

And as for counter strike. IT's going on 7 bloody years of age if I remember corectly. If you can effectly mod a game you can mod hacks for it too. It's a open end effect. And for solveing hacker problems go to a well moderated server. I play on like 20 servers like that an have seen only 5 hackers in the last 6 months total. You just make bad choices in your servers.

Guess what?
Super Mario Bros sold 40 million +

At Halo's current rate, it won't make it there like Mario did.
So you'd better get to buying those additional copies

Ignorant, immature, and biased people like you are the ones that shouldn't have the privilege to to post here.

I never said I didn't like it, that I didn't pre-order Halo 2 special edition, or that I didn't order the Halo soundtrack and bonus DVD off of Bungie.net

Good point Epiph, in fact very good one. Whoever like it or not HL was the first FPS to reach a perfect balance between Graphics, game play and storyline. As i am a old school player, yeah, i played Wolfenstain (not return, the original), doom 1, doom 2, duke nukem, blood, blood 2, and a lot more..... i would say HALO 2 and HL2 will be the best games in a few years to come...... and im not talking about graphs or sound, or realism, im talking about gameplay and storyline. one more thing if you've never played Half-life you may dont know what im talking about.

Some final words.......... IT'S JUST A GAME!!!!!!!!!

I know this is kinda the wrong place to put this poll, but there is bound to be votes from die-hard half-life or doom fans as well.


Yeah, youre right. This is the wrong place to do a poll. Go put this up at one of the neutral sites like IGN, Gamespot or whatever. You just did this to get all the fanboys in a fit.

You know what, Im gona put some gas on the fire. You see that single vote for "Another FPS"? I did that one, and Im looking foward to Killzone. Thats right fanboys. Its got some cool feautes in it. So you can just sit there and get all bunched up over how someone at a Bungie forum can say this.

BTW, the reason I'm not looking foward for HL2 to come out is that I dont have 4 grand to blow on a Alienware system to play the damn thing on correctly. Ive got a Crapple G4 iMac, and we all know how long it will take them to port it to Macs.

  • 06.16.2004 6:41 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

yeah but after Halo 2 i would vote for Perfect Dark Zero or Conker:Live and Reloaded. i love Rare's games.(but -blam!- Grabbed by the Ghoulies)

Well, Doom 3 will probably have the most realistic and versatile graphics. Half Life 2 will have the most convincing and realistic physics.

Who cares. So Halo2 might be beat one some minor points but really, what's more important, having something look good or react perfectly or just plain fun?

Halo2 has the AI, the vehicles and the storyline that's going to rock our worlds. Halo2 is like John-117. Sure the other Spartans may be better at a few things then he is but all around John is the one that gets the job done and is the last one standing.

I heard that Perfect Dark Zero is supposed to be the FPS launch title for NextBox or Xbox 2 or whatever its called. Since the time to make Halo 3 is too far off for the launch of the second Xbox, then I think PD0 will be it.

i hate pokemon so much, but im so ashamed of myself that i know the whole entry song the the first season by heart

  • 06.16.2004 6:50 PM PDT

yeah i know.i heard about that.i dont mind,but its just retarded,cuz i looked at old IGN articles,and PD Zero was supposed to launch on the GC in late 2001,about the same time as the system.but now its mid 2004 and its STILL not out!!!!

PD Zero will be the second best shooter on Xbox and XBL. next to Halo 2 of course
