Subject: hord wasnt the first hold out game!!!

Get in the flask!

when will people learn fire fight is not a copy of hord or -blam!- zombie.... (although very similar)
if anyone didnt notice holding out in one spot has been around for ages

EVER THINK OF SPACE INVADERS!!!!!!!!!! FOOOOOOOOOO

it was pritty much one of the first hold out games, sure it isnt 3d and have a massive map or you can shoot with a targeter but the concept is pritty much the same...

"dont get killed by the enemy"

can anyone give me insight to why nobody has ever though back to other games???

because most of the players that play GoW2 and Halo don't have memory that far back... they weren't born yet
but Firefight is going to top Horde by far

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

That concept alone has been around since video games began, since board games (like chess) began, the difference is that Gears of War and CoD are close enough in playing style that people compare them more frequently than other more "original" games.

Halo combat is much deeper than Gears combat IMO, Gears always get boring after awhile, Halo always feels great

People just say it because its the most recent example, and also because GoW is one of Halo's 'competitors'. Bots are as old as the FPS genre itself. If I'm not mistaken, Marathon had bots so technically you could argue that Epic copied Bungie :P

Survival mode, yeah...there have been games with it forever. Technically I suppose you could even call tetris a survival mode, if you thought about it...people are think, they use the well-known example and claim that ZOMG COPEED.

I was looking at the GoW2 forums, cause I expected them to be screaming about how Bungie stole their game mode, but surprisingly I haven't seen any complaints at all.

Play doom and doom 2 on nightmare mode.

That is survival mode.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

Alien vs Predator had this kind of mode in the day... Was fun as a single marine to hold out against an army of these alien bastards :P
That gave survival a whole new meaning, because the aliens didnt come from just one location, they came from everywhere, nowhere was safe :P

Yeah, this thread is pointless, everyone knows that Bungie didn't copy GoW.

I have no idea, I think it was something to do with time on the boards, posts and topics made, stuff like that.
